Pug killing machine. Nothing better will be posted on the interwebz today.

That's complete covfefe.

Yep, looks alien!

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Also, I'm pretty sure the "no dogs barking at a son of Israel" doesn't apply to subsequent Passovers after the first one. Or it's optional. One of those.  8) CONTEXT!  :bd:

Laugh if you want to but I had a pug that could kill a room-full with his farts.  :buck2:

Watched it last night in Victoria (in a post-alcohol infused conference/excuse to drink).  I enjoyed it more than I was expecting to.  Definitely not in the top tier but I'd put it in 3rd place in the order of best to worst (I only consider the first two to be worth watching again.)

That's kinda what I figured. I'll give it a watch at some point.

#3 after Alien and Aliens is pretty damned good.

No. It is not.

It's a pretty sharp drop in quality after 1 and 2 though.

For me:

Great films
--------------------------------------------
1)  Aliens
2)  Alien


OK films
--------------------------------------------
3) Alien: Covenant



Meh films
---------------------------------------------
4) Alien: Resurrection  (I liked the first half.  The second was terrible)



Bad films
----------------------------------------------
5) Prometheus
6) Alien 3

Okay. I saw this movie. It was okay. Like always I found myself keeping my mouth tightly shut, as if facehuggers were going to jump on my face... and I only gagged twice... The people I was with think it's funny to see my reaction to such things. What kind of mess up childhood did this person have? I'm also allowed to comment out loud. And the shower scene made me yell out, "Oh, Chet my (blank) hurts and I don't know why" as I curled up into a ball. Well I thought something awful was happening, but no. It was something else. As some of it was so predictable, it was sad. Give humans some credit. We are not all that dumb.

I liked Prometheus and this film too. They really should be one movie back to back, the stories are so linked.  SPOILERS AHEAD    The biggest disappointment for me was that Scott created this incredibly interesting race-- the Engineers, then just killed them off. Like he just changed his mind about having them in the films at all.  :idiot2:  Maybe he realized he had created a Super Race made-up of nothing but bald white guys and we can't have THAT in Hollywood today.  :hide:
