Alien: Covenant

Being a space faring race I don't think wiping out one city wiped them out. We will see more of them.

Pugs are space faring?

[OJsDad]

Only those that can produce enough internal combustion.

I don't think we're going to be seeing another Ridley Scott directed Alien movie

To be fair, that's domestically. It's going to get a decent bump with the China and Japan openings, but I'm not sure it will be enough to ensure the sequels Scott is planning.

It feels like a tired franchise that needs a break for 5-10 years.

Why do you hurt me so? Honestly I can see what the article was describing...the Alien universe just can't compete with 'lighter fluffier' sci-fi. Makes me feel more like an old man now. 'You kids and your stupid Power Ranger crap...in my day aliens had acid for blood.'

But I also thought there was more of a market for 'dark' sci-fi. I guess not.

Lol. I don't think 'lighter sci-fi' meant Power Rangers. I think it meant Guardians of the Galaxy or Star Wars.

I think there is a market for 'dark' sci-fi. It's just not the market that's going to deliver a billion dollar mega-blockbuster.

And honestly, the Aliens universe needs a rest. Then give it to someone like Cameron who can make a really entertaining dark sci-fi flick.

It's too bad the Alien 5 movie Neil Blomkamp pitched got shelved in favor of Scott's movies. Blomkamp's concept had potential.

Well if there are more movies like Rogue One that's pretty good. Or maybe they'll remake Event Horizon

I want a sequel to, "They Live". Except Rowdy Roddy's no more.  :'(    I still got my Alien Sunglasses right where I need them.

[Gusington]

We're living in They Live right now.

[mirth]

Knock, knock, Gus.

[Gusington]

Go away.

[mirth]

Such a Grumpy Gus.

Thursday is his nap-day. I guess he missed it.
