Film

Would you care to elaborate and let the rest of us clearly uneducated and ill-informed types in on it, so.

Ah, I don't think that way. Nothing is ever going to be for everyone, and if you didn't like it yourself, then that's grand. "I've had my fun" and all that. Sure I was talking about Heat on here and then with some mates after and they were talking about things they got out of it that I just hadn't at all. Which just means it's doing it's job as a piece of art, right? Diddly-aye.

Just like A View to a Kill, right? 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Exactly. That film has layers 

[astfgyl]

Yes! Christopher Walken and Roger Moore. That's the sort of layers that'd truly spin the mind

exactly, all subjective. Heat is obviously great ha ha

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Watching Dredd here for the first time, the Karl Urban one. Under the appropriate conditions here, it's class. Way better than Heat   

[Carnage]

Dredd's brilliant, shame they never followed it up.

Rewatched Alien: Covenant earlier for the first time since its cinema release. Far from perfect but it holds up much better than Prometheus.

That's a cult film at this stage

Thought that was pretty awful myself. I did love Prometheus though ha.

[Carnage]

I liked both, but then I'm an Alien fanboy. Apart from AVP: Requiem, that was too shite for words.

Same. Covenant was awful whereas I really enjoyed Prometheus.

The high school yoke? By far the worst of either series or combos

[Carnage]

Yep. The whole 'predalien' concept should have been a good one, but was godawful.

[astfgyl]

Yeah the comics had it a lot better iirc

[Eoin McLove]

The Father. Superb. Wow.

Anthony Hopkins... a phenomenon.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

My neighbour just gave me his copy of this today: the Métal Hurlant (which you comics folk will know as Heavy Metal) special issue published at the same time as the release of Alien in 1979. Pages and pages of concept art from Moebius, Giger, Cobb, on-set photos, interviews, the works... published as an issue of the primary vehicle of Moebius' work! Makes it a really nice collector's item, not just for people into Alien, but also because of how it connects Jodorowsky's Dune project and Alien by reinforcing the Moebius link.

Fucking chuffed!
