Alien: Romulus Catch-All Thread

As long as the dark is not to do with the lighting like avpr lol

Not that I'm one to defend AvPR...but it was the colour grading, not the lighting.

Not to start a back and forth, but when I had a chance to talk to Dan Zimmerman back in 2014, he specifically mentioned how the dailies would essentially come in pitch black, and the color grading is the only thing that made it watchable.  They even had to have certain scenes enhanced just to be able to see anything at all.

There's video of Pearl complaining about a shot being underexposed while shooting the Alien coming through the window to kill Molly's dad.

Given Pearl is a fairly experienced DP I wonder if it was the Bros demanding things be so dark.

It depends if they are working for an older employer, some employers do hire younglings either as work experience or minimum wage work, maybe its their first gig or something.

True, but a young salvage crew?

That seems like the type of job for a more mature and experienced bunch.

But everything depends on the context, and you are also right about there being older employers hiring young people (employees) in order to explore them, which is fairly accurate to this franchise.

But screw it, it's the future and space is no longer the final frontier, so who knows how quickly people have to adapt and mature in this new environment.

It's like the young mercs (well, mostly young) in the fourth movie. But I'm still reminded of that recent thieves vs. zombies film.

The only youngster in the crew of Alien 4 was Cal, and even then she was a robot.

All the others were not young.

That would have been a serious failure on the part of the cinematographer (which I doubt) and he should have been fired immediately.

The Strauss Bros. claim that the East coast prints were different to the West coast prints. Supposedly the West coast prints were actually watchable. Reportedly the wrong print was subsequently also transferred to DVD which also sounds sketchy.

Requiem was dark AF, which kinda sucks, because some of the sets of the hive actually looked pretty good when shown in the behind the scenes stuff.

I wasn't referring to age but to looks. I think Call, Hillard, and even Elgyn looked young.

Michael Wincott has never looked young. He was born looking 30 with the voice of a heavy smoker.

And he was 39 when the movie was released.

Further proof Ralfy has not seen the movies.

Looks-wise, they mostly looked mature and aged.

The point is that you need to compare that to the first movie, and the prequels to the fourth one.

...what.

I speak "crazy person" after a crazy man killed my parents and left a strange mark in my forehead when i was a baby.

I speak ralfytongue.

And what he means is that the cast of the 79 movie had the worst teeth out of any alien cast.

[PortugueseXeno]

I'm kind of new here, but is it just me or do people seem to have some sort of problem with ralfy?

[Corporal Hicks]

Let's not go off topic with that one Portuguese

And what he means is that the cast of the 79 movie had the worst teeth out of any alien cast.

That's a bold statement given Alien 3 had so many Poms.
