In honor of all the recent Alien/Prometheus discourse, I re-watched the special edition of Alien 3. I think the film turned out extremely well considering the pre-production nightmare that was given to Fincher. This was also his FIRST major motion picture.
Charles Dance is great, killing off Hicks and Newt is understandable, and the visuals are amazing. Gore set to a religious monologue is always a good thing. The special edition of Alien 3 is a fine addition to the franchise, people shouldn't be so hard on it.

Watched 2001 on DVD over the weekend. First time I'e seen it since my teens. Can't believe how ahead of it's time it was, in so many respects. Made in 1968 and so many films/TV shows since have drawn on it for inspiration. Close Encounters, Alien, Prometheus, Star Wars,UFO, Space 1999. Hell it even has an iPad style device in it! Well worth a watch if you can cope with Kubricks sterile and measured approach, and the decidedly trippy 60s ending :-D

Poopity Poo, Prometheus did not live up to my expectations. Ridley Scott there is reason you weren't asked on for any of the alien movies after Alien.
Prometheus was good but it should have been way better. It had great Characters but the bad guy was just totally missing the whole movie. He should have done it strait up Blackhawk down style. They land on the planet HOLY BABY JESUS we have to get away from aliens.

One more note about Alien/Prometheus and then I'll shut up about it (well, maybe). We think of Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) as a character who epitomizes courage. But her constant goal in Alien I-IV is making it back home. And you know what's more courageous than that? What Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) does in Prometheus.
