Alien Covenant, a new high for Pitch Meetings...

stickyfiddle

I'm a strong believer that movies don't have to answer every question. God knows that's a key feature of so many classic scifi films - 2001, Blade Runner, even Alien itself. 

But this is spot on. Just a terrible movie from start to finish.

However poor the Alien films are I find myself being very defensive of them - that video is funny though - pretty spot on 

The first two are masterpieces, the third has its moments, the fourth has the underwater scene...

Since then, you have the first AvsP, which was dumb, the second, which is the worst film I've ever seen, and containing the most morally bankrupt scene ever filmed for a Hollywood movie.

In context of that stinker, Prometheus could have been worse, but Covenant is just deeply stupid.

AvP don't count as Alien movies - not seen Requiem but sounds like that's no loss 

Really seriously don't watch it, it makes Covenant look like fucking Citizen Kane.

As for the most morally bankrupt scene ever filmed for a Hollywood movie, the aliens attack a maternity hospital, yes, really, someone signed that off for a popcorn flick.

I'm happy enough to not count them, or see them ever again, in fact, if I had the time, and a hammer....

As a fierce critic of illogical stuff in films, I loved that!

"An homage?" 
"Yes, an homage - that's where you press control C on your keyboard followed by control V"

So funny!

That's legitimately the funniest thing I'd seen all year.

Jesus, there's some annoyingly pointless stuff on Youtube.

You are so tolerant, I started flipping through after 20 seconds and realised that I have no idea what the fuck this dude is prattling on about. Just as well, the films look shit. "Get away from her you bitch" was where I stopped.

You stopped ten minutes from the end of the second movie....?
