Alien (1979)

[version]

never seen it but it is funny that lynch and cronenberg are jealous of ridley scott when they never made a film half as good as gladoator. maybe being and advertisment man with no vision is a good thing?

They were not entertained.

Gladiator is so bad lol it's like a child remaking Ben-Hur, which is brilliant and one of the best films of all-time

 

[version]

Gladiator is a rousing epic.

 

[luka]

no its not its better than ben hur which is too long and has jesus in it and lepers

 

[sus]

It's impossible to like Gladiator if you've seen Ben-Hur, you realize what a film for adults looks like. The sense of stakes, the sense of sacredness.

 

[luka]

its not a bad film im not trying to say its a bad film but if it is a 1 out of 10 gladiator is a 11

This is interesting because I do like Gladiator and I haven't seen Ben-Hur.

ben hur is pretty cool man

I don't know I think when you share opinions with Corpsey you should second-guess yourself maybe

Corpsey's contribution to this thread will be something like "If you squint you can read 'Ridley Scott' as 'Diddly Squat'."

Version's going to take a day off, marathon (1) Brewster McCloud (2) Solaris (3) Ben-Hur. And when he returns to the forum he will proclaim my supreme genius and taste. He will make a dedicated post just to announce it to the forum. A very important finding of his research. That my taste and aesthetic sophistication is unparalleled. And I should be trusted supremely in all matters of arts and culture henceforth

I never said that. You can't prove I said that.

Cronenberg was going to direct Alien: Resurrection at one point.

Gus has admitted he doesnt watch films as films he doesnt know what humans enjoy in a film he just is trying to pull them apart to extract 'themes'

 

[luka]

he said i know nothing of this beauty you speak of. what does it mean to be moved, to be entertained, to be aroused? empty words, dust in the wind.

Corpsey's the same, but replace 'themes' with 'tits and gore'.

 

[luka]

fast forward and pause button viewing

 

[version]

He said he'd never felt so 'seen' as when he came face to face with the phallic, bloodstained alien.

 

[version]

Corpsey's the alien, Gus is Ash, the android.

I did find OG David the most sympathetic one in Covenant. He just wants to make his xenobiology drawings! He has a unique sense of morality! His highest value is creation!
