Understood...?
Not really, no.
Are you trying to say that people are comparing The Brothers now to Fincher now?
I don't think that's the case at all. Unless I'm greatly mistaken, the comparison is between The Brothers now and Fincher then. As in, Alien 3 ain't even out yet.
QuoteThanks for proving my point
How did I do that, exactly?
Comparing the brothers with Fincher just because they have similar backgrounds and thinking that is remotely enough to make them comparable Then or Now, is utterly ludicrous, a fallacy, whatever you wanna call it...
I understood you right the first time, and comparing them is a mistake no matter how you slice it... They are doing different movies in different times, with different means and with different levels of pressure (as in David not having any room to breathe and the Bros. having perhaps a little too much...)
You can't compare directing an Alien movie with directing a crossover one like AVP or AVPR without ridiculing yourself... Did you do the same with Paul Anderson and Jim Cameron...they too were both art directors,they both are writers as well as directors, so did you draw those parallels between them as well...? I sure didn't because JC has his own style of directing actors, shots, the crew, and Paul has his own...So that's why comparing directors is rubbish...
Have you even seen AVP...? It is a fun movie to watch, but has no lingering value... unlike Alien, Aliens and Alien3, the trilogy... AR was just a hiccup...a loud, ugly, flat and unnecesary one...
So, why are people still doing bogus comparisons, puzzles me immensely... And no matter what you say, David Fincher nailed it the first time, even with those terrible odds against him, so the Bros. are not even remotely in that situation to be worthy of comparison...
After the movie, even if it succeeds, this will still just be a lowly, lowly crossover movie in the likes of FvJ, not an Alien or Predator movie...Those are unreachable, so they and you should stop trying...You'll be less disappointed...
