yea I get what ur saying. sometimes its best not to look behind the curtain

I would leave it be. Making what amounts to a mini series on the big screen can dilute the original. Just my two cents.

having seen Prometheus and AC, given the answers,or lack of, that we have been given so far, would u want to see a prequel series or just leave the franchise as it was and have the mystery left in tack? forget ur opinions on the actual movies

I think part of the problem is prequels instead of moving forward or just leaving it alone as the masterpiece that it is.

ali81 Indeed. Purvis. Thank you.

dude in the pic, he was a cool cat n sacrificed himself for mankind. cant wait to see daniels die

u mean Purvis?

Ripley- Why?

hox have your seen Sunshine?

'Charcoal study of an engineers head.'

I think that, if you disconsider the "prologue" in Alien 3 (showing Newt and Hicks dead for ever and never more, for there had been Cameron's unfortunate vision on the Alien universe, and that had to be addressed somehow in Alien 3), we could have had a great sequence with conspiracy and the sort. And maybe we could have a balance between what it was meant to be and what came to be.

I think Sir Ridley is doing his best, although he could do better being the director he is, and he is on the right track. In Covenant, he got some distance from this "conspiracy" and I liked it better that way.

I would love to see Danny Boyle do an Alien movie.

'More deformation. This one hung as a 1.7m 'banner' in the lab.'

'The deformed twin'

'Decomposing, mutated engineer.'

For the record I love every single film in the franchise. I honestly don't have a favourite, they all have their merits.

The films themselves are great, its all the other stuff that is letting the franchise down. Major inconsistencies, contradictions, and half-cooked ideas/concepts caused from a lack of foresight and too much indecision. Like I said the franchise has a wonderful premise, they just to get the execution right, and that starts with some forward thinking and backing their writers, directors, actors etc.

Rant complete XD

'Mutated Foetus'

'Heres a study of an organism native to the Engineer planet. It's also meant to give some insight into Davids willingness to terminate and mutilate on behalf of a greater calling.'

Nice collection, some of them were created by Dane Hallett, let me add some original ones from his fb site:

'One of my favourites. David also experimented on the young...'

The Alien Franchise is in desperate need of a new vision and fresh blood. Ridley Scott has been trying to give us that in his own way, but keeps getting shafted by the corporate execubots pandering to mooted audience reactions and archaic box office statistics that don't reflect the changing industry consumer patterns.

The franchise really needs someone at the helm with a clear vision and future path paved in concrete. No more piece meal and ad hoc scripts, have the next few films planned out and stick to it!

Giller and Hill have contributed much to the franchise and should be maintained as consultants, but its time for a shake up.

It honestly saddens me seeing this great franchise trip and stumble upon its own feet. The formula is there, the execution is not

Ati, I am unsure, but Leeta may have some insight.

Ha, awesome topic! :)

Are you talking about this spare-part owned by David?

WTF this is hilarious and very well done!

Karine, Tennessee, and Loupe. I would like to have said Jussie Smollet, but, like many of the characters, he was underused to the point of feeling like he was the "token black guy" in the cast, sadly. Daniels was annoying and I simply could NOT buy her as the heroine, and her diction and whining was/is intolerable to me. She did not speak clearly and sounded unprofessional most of the movie.

as long as was present, just to oversee for purely scientific reason u understand, id have Call do the examination

Well yeah, but like somebody said, you don't see our buildings being made, out of spaceship parts

Ingeniero Well, I suppose it would be the prudent course of action.......just to be sure.

dk, that is why we need a thorough examination of Ms. Vickers...to confirm our suspicions.

Ingeniero Agree about Walter- I said as much on a different thread lol!

I see Vickers' name mentioned but I thought there was no confirmation she was an android.

Yes, Ms. Vickers is need of a thorough exam to find anything synthetic.

"What about you? You are among friends."

OK, fine dk. I wouldn't mind having Walter around. Of all the things Walter can do, the top two things he says he excels at are in the kitchen and gardening. We would get along.

It is also interesting to see how the ships look completely unlike all the buildings and architecture. 

Yes, he was crying. Discipline is very tough on those who must apply it. The Engineers didn't have time to cry.

Even Ripley picks Call.
