You alright man? I've seen you write this over and over.

Some variation on how it ought to be the "Aliens" franchise moving forward.

Disney's not looking at this forum for advice, I think we all know where you stand.

Ya, I'm not going to engage in conversation with someone who PM's me and says James Cameron is "a basic bitch/common man's good director without a hint of any unique voice or artistry", and that I should "stop sucking his and Aliens' dick."

If that's actually what she's written - that's rude and unneccesary. Also, I strongly disagree with "without a hint of any unique voice or atistry" bit

Tangentially, this thread is really making me miss McMuffins. Are there no Golden Arches in this Corporate Dystopian Cassette-Retro Future...??

By that logic the Death Star would be the MacGuffin in ANH cause it's the source of the plans and what they solely refer to.
No, because the Death Star is the primary threat of the film and the thing which must be destroyed. It's not otherwise irrelevant to the plot like the Jockey.

I'm assuming the rest of your post also completely missed my point.

Pretty sure Lucas said Artoo was the Macguffin in Star Wars.

Superbad didn't have a Macguffin, but it had one awesome McLovin.

He did, but Lucas disagreed with Hitchcock that a MacGuffin should be something otherwise disposable to the plot; by Lucas' definition, Newt is a MacGuffin.

Lul, what's with this condescending BS response?

That your exit strategy or something? Well it worked. Congrats!

I wasn't being condescending. I was explaining why I didn't respond to the rest of your points - if your starting position was that fundamentally wrong I didn't think you'd suddenly change it up three paragraphs in.

After one sentence - the very first sentence - you write:

Yes, which I just explained.

I feel like you're using this as an excuse to nope out of the conversation because you realised you missed the point and this is easier than acknowledging it. I can't say I'm sad to see the conversation end. Stay safe.

You mean the conversation where you conveniently skip 98% of my statement?

That's your notion of a  conversation?
