Quote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Jun 27, 2022, 06:51:24 AMI just find spending time in the atmosphere of the film infinitely entertaining that's why the beach stuff I adore so much.
Agree, something I love with the beach scene and also the slow intro of Alien of nostromo and partly Aliens is the moody atmosphere, maybe scary to some but I would enjoy just be there.
BTW: something cool I found in alien3 to game boy is that you can walk on the beach and see a lot from the ebach scene plus the EEV on the beach, this was back in 1992 so seems the GB developer had inside photos/videos of the beach scenes we fans only first saw in 2003 with the release of the assembly cut.

But when it comes to inspiration, it's Alien³ and Alien Covenant, Alien and then Aliens that I gravitate towards in that particular order. But I always save the first three for special occasions.
Interesting choice to have alien resurrection running in the background, myself dread that movie so much especielly at the end that it would just irritate me. xD But nothing wrong and fun others enjoy it. Hmm what have I missed, you two do streams together or job or art work together? Can pm me if that is better, or can ignore this part, just curious.
The list there does sound nice, Covenant is a good movie and I almost place it as high as the other movies in the original trilogy.
Quote from: Omegamorph on Jun 27, 2022, 11:37:41 AMyou kidding, the entire movie is about sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual liberation, all told through jeunet's lens of abstraction. It's an incredible movie, with the only 'fault' - if we can call it that - that its style is different from the other ones. Where Alien whispers, Resurrection yells. So depending on your point of view and interpretation you may or may not feel comfortable with it being a part of the series, or a movie in its own right, or a Jeunet opus.
Would love to hear your explanation of the movie is all about sexuality? Find some between charachters, especielly between ripley and call, and johner doing sexual jokes and harrasment but not full movie. But can agree fully on the comic book atmosphere, it fit nicely with 2000AD and some european unique comics style, especielly the bizare designs and atmosphere and the dark comedy and all dark irony put into the movie.
