Off Topic Spielberg

Alien , or Aliens ?

 

I re watched the fist one last night, so it’s no 2 tonight, both great films.

 

Must admit if I had to chose between 1 and 2 , it would be 2 , but only just . Yes , both great films .

 

Are you a giver or a taker, Ben?

 

2 by a mile for me.

 

Go away Les.

 

I, like Bodi, am a fan of Minority Report.

It was based on a short story written by the same author that wrote the stories on which Total Recall and Blade Runner were based.

 

Come off it!

No way was I going to let that one slip through my net!

 

Depends on the offer Les and with who, surely you know that there are no boundaries given your past.

 

Alien is a one of the GOATS and far better than Aliens, you plebians don't know what you's talking about, I bet you like Resurrection

Looking at the list of Speilberg films I'd say there's a lot of decent ones but not many greats, I'd probably put the og Jurassic Park at the top

 

Do you like Alien cubed? I mean Alien 3

 

Spielberg’s most successful are the Extra Testacle, Jaws then Jurassic Park

 

Never been a huge Spielberg fan. Saving Private Ryan is good for about 10 minutes at the start then the rest is ****. Jaws was dated when I watched it and now looks like a crapper version of a Sharknado type film. Never liked the Indiana Jones films. Haven't seen ET, Schindlers list or a few of the others on that list.

Jurassic Park probably my favourite of his

 

The annoying thing about Speilberg’s big blockbuster family movies are the kids who shout and scream a lot.

I prefer Kubrick and Oliver Stone.

 

And Ridley Scott, of course.

 

Yeah but **** to taking the kids to see Lolita, The Shinning or Clockwork Orange eh.

 

JFK would have been a hoot, though.

 

I like it, not as good as the first two obviously but people go overboard with the hate. Would have been better without the dog alien though

 

Aye I agree its not as bad as all that.
Its only because the first two are cinematic masterpieces, and the third one.....isn't.
Plus they killed off the characters that people loved from Aliens (like Newt and Hicks).
Its not the direction I would have taken the Alien movies in, to be honest.
After the masterful, chilling terror of the first movie, and the balls to the wall, awesome action of the second movie, the dull, depressing, badly written 3rd movie just didnt cut the mustard for many.
Shame

 

I loved Prometheus.

Saw it at the cinema in 3 D.
