Well back to the point I was trying to make, Movies simply are not the way they used to be. Alien is masterful example of pacing, patience and not showing you everything, Movies audiences and people in general are impatient and dumber. Point I was trying to make, was Ridley is not going to make a movie like the first Alien, He has to adapt with the industry. What that translates to is Alien purists and us nerds on an AVP forum mad because it didn't meet our unreasonable expectations, and mainstream audiences will probably flock to it. I just added that he, in my opinion, is the best visual director going. I just threw that in because he is my favorite director. You certainly have the right to disagree, even if you are wrong
Because they weren't making dumbf**k movies in the 70's and 80's, too?
Alien is a masterpiece. They are still being made, even if not within the confines of the Alien universe. As much as I look forward to seeing Covenant, Ridley was right when he said "the best is cooked". There's only so much that can be done with the story. And like I've stated before, the only "real" Alien film is the original. I'm sure, on his death bed, even Ridley will agree. It's so good, in fact, that it's almost a fluke. For it's era or today's, it will always be remembered as good. Most movies ever made, despite era, have been throwaway.
