I like both actually. Alien 3 and Resurrection were kinda sh*tty tho
What are you watching?

There are four in total, I don't count the Alien vs. Predator ones. An Alien movie without Ellen Ripey is like a Tomb Raider without Lara Croft.Ohhh there are two movies. The way that was written, I was like "Aren't aliens in Alien?".aranoid:
In Alien there was just one xenomorph. In Aliens you got a whole bunch of them xD

A whole bunch of aliens easily mowed down with gunfire destroying their threatening nature and nigh invulnerability.
And godforbid the aliens have an element of mystery. Better call them Xenomorphs and make a ridiculous backstory for them.
Well, Xenomorph can be translated as "Alien lifeform" so I'm fine with the name. I guess I really enjoyed Ripley's character development in the second movie, but yeah they made them indeed less threatening by turning them into cannon fodder.
The concept of the Queen was also pretty boring, I preferred the eggmorphing from the first movie, because it was more gruesome, imo.
By the way, have you played Alien:Isolation? It ignores pretty much everything from Aliens except for Amanda and the Alien Nest.

I actually got two copies of that game for Christmas. Awesome game.
I am now watching the original Dragon Ball. I have never actually watched it all the way through, so after my 100th time rewatching Dragon Ball Z Abridged, I decided to give it a go.
Totally agree, that game is awesome. It was that kind of Alien game I always wanted. Creative Assembly did an incredible job with that one.

Have fun, Dragonball is my absolute favorite Anime series ever (along with Gintama).
So I finished Daredevil last night and it was amazing. The storytelling was fantastic and the cinematography was just excellent. It's definitely one of Marvel's best works. I feel the whole Netflix deal really benefitted the show letting it do things you wouldn't really see on television as well as not suffering from any of the effects tv shows do from struggling to get episodes out on a weekly basis. The whole 13 episode season was just pure movie quality gritty goodness. I've never really been a Daredevil fan but this show certainly does him justice. Would really love to see The Punisher get similar treatment.
I'm not necessarily watching it but I've got Monty Python and the Holy Grail playing while I'm packing.

Good stuff, Monty Python. I own the Two-Disc Special Editions of Holy Grail and Meaning of Life myself.
The second Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser. For the 20,000th time. In a row. Full volume.
Feature length wise, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

I just saw The Walking Deceased, which is a parody of The Walking Dead, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland and Warm Bodies.
It wasn't bad, but it had some audio syncing issues and gave off an "amateur film" feel. But it did make me laugh at some parts, so I guess it succeeds as a parody.

I'm watching Fawlty Towers. Because oh my god, it's hilarious.
Gourmet Night is perhaps my favourite episode, right next to Communication Problems.

I completely see where you are coming from... But I do like Aliens though. But yeah, Alien I would have to say is the better movie.
And Imma let you guys finish, but Predator is the greatest movie monster of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Anyway, I've been obsessing over The Big Lebowski lately which in turn means Jeff Bridges too, so I watched the remake of True Grit as well. Love that man.
Also was watching Tim Allen's newer show Last Man Standing, it's pretty entertaining but I also am kind of obsessed with how awesome I think Kaitlyn Dever would be playing Ellie in a movie adaptation of The Last of Us.
