    Fuck you Joe. He fucking sucks. Because of him they had to find a way to keep him alive in Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion.

    As a person, yes. As an actor and more specifically a sci-fi actor, gtfo.

    He fucking sucks at sci-fi. He is pretty good at action and suspense though.

    I really enjoyed it. Far exceeded my expectations and I wasn't a fan of the first two.

    Is that to assume Deckard really is a replicant and Gossling is hunting/investigating him?

    I'm sure that's the intention, to make you think that, but why would replicants age like that?

    Do we know that they dont age? Ive only watched the movie twice, so not a huge expert on it or anything

    If he's a replicant perhaps he figured out a way to conceal himself through artificially aging his looks

    No, not really. But they had an expiration date. They were supposed to just die. Been awhile since I watched or read though. I'm no expert.

    True. But wouldn't the easiest and more likely explanation be that Gosling is hunting Deckard because he ran off with Rachael?

    Has anyone here seen the movie Coherence. Another mindfuck. Saw it last night. Love space/Sci Fi movies that get you all twisted.

    Yeah, it's good. It sort of reminds me of Primer, where a really good script makes up for the clear lack of budget.

    Ok, so I have never seen a single movie in the Alien/Aliens/whatever family. Feel like I am definitely missing out on some great movies, so I would like to see them.
    Explain to me like I'm 5, what order should the be seen in, any I can skip, where does Prometheus fit in, are the AvP movies needed for the story, etc?

    Exactly. Thought this was interesting too:

    Byrkit added, "...instead of a script I had my own 12-page treatment that I spent about a year working on. It outlined all of the twists, and reveals, and character arcs and pieces of the puzzle that needed to happen scene-by-scene. But each day, instead of getting a script, the actors would get a page of notes for their individual character, whether it was a backstory or information about their motivations. They would come prepared for their character only. They had no idea what the other characters received, so each night there were completely real reactions, and surprises and responses. This was all in the pursuit of naturalistic performances. The goal was to get them listening to each other, and engaged in the mystery of it all.

    Watch:

    Alien
    Aliens
    Prometheus
    Winona Rhyder's scenes in Alien: Reserection cuz she fine as fuck.

    DO NOT WATCH:
    Alien 3
    Alien Reserection outside of the above
    Either AvP movie

    10-4, is that the chronologically correct order to watch them in as well?

    Prometheus happens first; I'd watch it last but it'd work first too I suppose.

    I haven't seen Prometheus yet but based on the description of the next movie and reviews of Prometheus , it seems there's still a bit of a gap between it and Alien.

    I don't see a reason why you would need to watch it first.

    I don't think we'll get two legendary directors doing an original and sequel, with Ridley and Cameron doing the first two.

    It's hard to believe that Starship Troopers came out 20 years ago. I definitely didn't understand the meaning of the movie when I was younger, but hey, shower scene and lots of explosions. Now, I absolutely love how the entire movie is essentially one giant satirical joke.

    Would you like to know more?
