I really really like alien 3. It was not what we expected at the time, but it’s a great film in its own right.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

that was an objectively terrible film...
only eclipsed in terrible acting and terrible story by: alien resurrection...

in my opinion, Aliens is followed by Prometheus
the other two don't count

Asserting it doesn’t make it so.

It’s barely an “alien” film, but the cinematography alone is stellar.

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

the cinematography was stellar...
the acting and story was stupid...

which sorta sums up 90's cinema...

Did someone piss in your tea or something?

Or do you just enjoy trying to make everyone feel as miserable as you do?

[–] xor@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago

i really do love Alien, Aliens, Promethius, and Alien: Covenant...
like, deep deep within my soul...
Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are absolutely terrible movies. I just... it's just all so bad...
Alien 3 did have some quality and i'm glad that you enjoyed it and hope you continue to do so...
i hope you and your tea are just super great today.
i don't personally drink much tea... but im glad that you enjoy it and hope you burn your tongue on the next cup...

Wow, I really liked 3 and resurrection. Guess I didn't realize they were so disliked. Guessing you're not a fan of Waterworld or Battlefield Earth either?

[–] xor@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

okay well those are known for being widely hated

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I know those two are, but I love them. Unironically. I've read the Waterworld comics, I bought the Arrow bluray release with the Ulysses cut the day it came out. I'm tempted to get a copy of Waterworld for my Virtual Boy to round out the collection.

Battlefield Earth isn't on the same level as Waterworld, but I still read the book after watching it and love the movie even more, having the whole story filled in.

Umm. 1 and 2 were such good and influential movies that the 3rd just felt like riding the hype train.

Plus A3 lead to the smelters multiplayer level being included in the AvP2 game and was (at least from memory) great.
