Can we cut out all the sniping at one another and the generalising of swathes of users? Any more and I'll delete posts, people are letting their indignation get out of hand.

And I've warned before. If folk don't chill out, they'll find they can't post.

Granted, GI is far from Scott's best film, and with Legend, I like the director's cut. Not his best work, either, and his strange inclusion of midgets and Tom Cruise kind of mar the film, but Tim Curry is a total boss.

I may be among the minority (I really don't know), but I would be absolutely fine with Blomkamp making Alien 3 & Resurrection dreams that Ripley had while in hypersleep. As a matter of fact, I would be thrilled.

No you sound like all the other ALIENS fanboys out there, so no need to worry.

And you don't sound like an Alien 3 fanboy?  We're all fanboys by the sheer fact of us talking on these forums.   ::)

Only when ALIENS fanboys walk around spewing their dreck about the movies and the franchise as if their word is the truth - Cameron is God, ALIENS is the Bible and that's the way it is. All that smothering self-entitlement and intrusive exceptionalism just pisses me off. In fact ALIENS fandom is one of the reasons I've drifted away from this franchise. A5 might be the last nail in the coffin.

I really don't understand how you could generalize Cameron as an abominable director when Ridley Scott has made his fair share of bombs like GI Jane and Legend, and really, many others

The fact Alien 5 will take place years after Prometheus 2, Got me thinking that, This could very well be an alternate reality of the Alien universe, You can take things to different directions.

Which is how I see things, and am believing how things are shaping out to be considering Blomkamp's statement that he was ignoring Alien 3 and Resurrection, but not undoing them. Just not a lot of people want to see it that way.

I would really rather they either stay canon or just get ignored.  Making something "all just a dream" is like the worst of both worlds - it makes an element unnecessary while preserving it in the canon.  It also strikes me as awkward as hell, possibly because it's such a cliche.

This... I really hope Blomkamp doesn't make Alien 3 and Resurrection as dreams. I just find that downright insulting.
