- Yesterday at 09:00:34 AMAnnihilation, for the 10th time I think. No longer have Netflix so I bought on blu ray. Can't get enough of this film. Just brilliant.

- Apr 20, 2024, 09:42:17 PMDune 2. I felt the prologue from the first movie was tedious to get through, so I appreciated getting into the meat of the story in the sequel. I was never familiar with the series or the original movies, so it was all a surprise going into it.

The people shouting "As it is written!" reminded me so much of the guys yelling "God wills it!" from Kingdom of Heaven lol.

Pros:
- Prologue. Justifies Guy Pearce in old man make-up from Prometheus
- The score
- I actually like the drama between the characters: Oram being insecure captain, tension between him and Daniels, Tennessee, Ricks and Upworth arguing aboard Covenant etc.
- David and every scene with him and Walter. The best villain (apart from the creature itself, of course) the series has given us. Special mention must go to Fasbender v Fassbender scene
- Recontextualisation of Alien as an material embodiment of deeply hidden sexual desires of a psycho android who wants to procreate badly. Pretty Giger-esque if you ask me
- The ending ("Don't let the bedbugs bite")
Cons:
- Mostly unmemorable cast with weak protagonist
- Disposable Aliens. Le sigh
- While I don't hate the third act it's the weakest part of the movie devoid of tension and feels pretty obligatory. Wished that time was rather spent on more philosophical shenanigans

Aliens' score is quite repetetive, even simplistic - but it does its job well and damn is it memorable.Scraped together in a couple of weeks out of spare parts, not too bad.
KHAAAAAAAANN!!!

I still think it's great.
a really nice contrast to Aliens and so wonderfully bleak and brutal.
Score is fantastic.
I actually noticed one thing that needs to be talked about:
there's a........well I mean......I think I saw something......
yes....Yes...

All these years later that movie is still capable to fill me with sheer childish excitement
ALIEN3
Despite its numerous flaws - that's a movie with vision and style if I ever saw one. So sad but feels like a fitting ending. World of Fury 161 seems so bleak and hostile but it's also Ripley's last refuge and her presence kinda softens it, makes it more warm and inviting
I also "noticed" the scores of both movies more this time. Aliens' score is quite repetetive, even simplistic - but it does its job well and damn is it memorable. Alien 3's score can be chaotic yet melodic, beatiful yet haunting, it has a sense of impending doom mixed with a strong dose of melancholy
