Cloning doesn't work like that as far I know. The USM scientists, namely Wren is unnecessarily malevolent. It would presumably be far easier to use animals, not to mention it would not be as unethical as what amounts to multiple kidnapping and cruel and unusual death.

Like I said though, its my personal opinion. You don't have to like it.  :)

El Santo vs. PREDATOR



El Santo is a Mexican wrestler...who in his movies fights against all kinds of weirdos. ;D

Well for me personally, when I first saw it as a kid, I'm not sure I finished it (I think I nodded off waiting for something to happen, possibly because I was expecting a sci-fi action flick). However revisiting it years later, I fell in love with it (particularly the Final Cut). I think in honesty, I didn't quite understand it the first time around. Then again, tastes change as you get older; in example 9 year old me would have rated 'Aliens' as my fave flick followed by 'Alien 3' and 'Alien' last... adult me puts that list in reverse order... so yeah.

Blade Runner was a snooze fest on first viewing. Now? I could watch it on repeat. (Just watched a copy of the theatrical cut I got on 35mm last week). I own every comic book, all the novels, binged Black Lotus on release, had 2049 on pre-order, can't wait for the new TV series, I'm working through the 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' comics /graphic novels - and have started a play though of the 1997 point and click game. Can't get enough of it. I think it's one of those movies that is often misunderstood on first viewing.

It's up there with the Ghost in the Shell franchise for me.

EDIT: It's worth noting, one of the nicest ways to watch Blade Runner (to me) is the fan released 'Penultimate Cut' - basically it's the Final Cut, but with the original colour grading restored(more brown tones than the new blue/teal presentation) and all original effects have been restored (minus the strings on the spinners)

Quote from: GreybackElder on Today at 01:08:27 AMYeah, that's great and all but daaaammnnnn those wait times for the predator was terrible 10:00 + minutes regularly. I might play 4 or 5 games a night and it would be over an hour.

Maybe they will add hardcore hunt into the public game modes to help!

Yes, it's a masterpiece. I think that almost nobody is going to be disagree with that, but yes it's slow af and I never could watch the entire damn thing in one shot. I always watched one half a day and the next day the other half, and that considering that I love long and slow movies mostly


Quote from: SM on Today at 01:08:10 AMIt's slow. There are times when it's in danger of disappearing up it's own arsehole.

At the time it was marketed as action adventure, and everyone bought into it because Han Solo and Indiana Jones was in it. I didn't see it in cinemas but later on video or TV and I thought what the hell is this rainy dark depressing crap? And why can I see the wires on that flying car? I re-evaluated it as I got older and liked it more.

Now it's a movie like 2001 or Apocalypse Now where I can enjoy the slowness and just get a bit lost in it.

Overall I'd say yes it's good, don't think it's a masterpiece.  And obviously influential.
Well, Apocalypse Now (the theatrical cut) it's one of my favourite movies and I never considered slow. For me it's like Alien, I didn't feel like this movies are slow. I just love all the ride. Having saying that, the extended cut of Apocalypse Now it's real pain, the newer scenes didn't made the movie better

What if everything in Alien 3 is correct and Aliens is wrong... 🧐😉 Cameron simply didn't foresee Fincher's magnificent vision. 🤣

(I'm now picturing the 'true' events of Aliens, with the Alien 3 aesthetic, and it is glorious).

Looks interesting, I was let down after Season 4 and 5 of CC but I will give this show a chance. It's good that they are using the Atrociraptor, a lot of the new Dominion dinos had very little screen time. I hope to see more of the Pyroraptor

How is cloning - something that was happening and in the news while Whedon was writing "over the top"?  Supervillains??

This must be some new definition of parody  wasn't aware of.
