Last post by solace97 - Today at 03:13:25 AM"I'll tell you a secret. Something they don't teach you in your temple. The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier that you are now. We will never be here again." - Troy 2004
While rewatching Troy this one resonated hard with me. It really is crazy how we give such importance to something that's only temporary. But without that importance it wouldn't be worth living.

Alien: Earth / Re: New Alien: Earth footage w...
Last post by The Cruentus - Today at 02:32:38 AMIt would however still be considered a major coincidence for multiple siloed departments to come across the same alien species.
There would at least have to have some basic cross-information perhaps just a location radius for them all to be searching in an area that has the Alien presence. The universe is too big (or at least should be) for the those different division to all have seperate encounters with an Alien and not be able to report it for one reason or another.
So far there is at least some knowledge of something worth investigating in the Zeta reticuli in Alien, even if they don't know what exactly.
15 years later and the events in Alien: Isolation also has W-Y being aware of something on Sevastopol.
Alien blackout but not sure what canonicity is there. Romulus only 5 years later.
So unless there is more encounters, there is now a 37 year gap in between Romulus and Aliens.
Cold forge is set after Aliens but the station seems to have been running for awhile right?

Realistic!
And when you think about classified projects then siloing divisions off is a very real world protocol for many organisations.

Predator: Badlands / Re: Female Predator in Badland...
Last post by Mr.Turok - Today at 01:34:47 AMI don't think that the Predator will be out there stopping crime and walking old grannies out there on the streets, rather it will simply handle things worse than it. I look at Scarface's story as reference. While he would normally be an antagonist to humans, him taking down Borgia Industries was a net benefit good to the corrupt city of Neonopils, despite his goal being a mostly self-driven goal. Keeping crime artificially high, black arms deals based on alien tech sold to war torn countries, crimes against humanity in their experiments, ect. Morally grey vs grey-dark or black is the perfect spectrum.

Alien Films / Re: Favourite Alien Movie?
Last post by aliens13 - Today at 12:57:27 AMQuote from: The Cruentus on Today at 12:52:10 AMYes of course I recognise all the flaws of A³ and Romulus. But today, I prefer see any of this 2 films more than AliensI do get it so don't worry, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing indeed. And Alien 3 is a decent if flawed movie.
