Alien: Earth and Alien: Romulus sequel news

Do you think Prometheus dialogue will have any added camp value?

The latest clip from Prometheus has the following line of dialogue" Vickers asks repeatedly "What did he said" to an overwhelmed David (background of ominous music), who says "It's Confidential", but after shes grabs him from the throat he replies "He said Try Harder", as she releases him he asks ironically "Cup of tea, Ma'am?", and she pushes him away from the face threateningly . I know Ridley Scott asked David to see Joseph Losey's "The Servant" in preparation for his role of his android "butler". But the dialogue sounded pretty overblown and campy to me. More like a dramatic confrontation right out of a Dynasty or a Dallas episode. I know the clip is out of context and I know I am risking excommunication from the Overlords of this board, but I would like to know what the rest of you think about this snippet of dialogue and clip.

I love "Unbreakable". Best Super Hero movie so far.... If it was a comic it would have been the next "Watchmen".

I love old Sergio Leone westerns. I love shitty Blacksplotation movies. I do love a lot of things. But top 5? Mine would be a nightmare. I would have problems breaking down stuff like that. I am not a top list guy, I am a like or dislike guy. Asking me a top 5 movie is like asking me a top 5 albums....what genre, what am i looking for from it or in it. What mood am i in? Too many variables. Anyone know punk rock? I like to use this example of how i work....Black Flag's "My War". Depending on the day it is either a nihilistic masterpiece that outshines their entire output 10 fold or completely self indulgent drivel by a band on their decline. It all depends on my mood and where my head space is at that point. It is never concrete with me.

Is "You don't kill a duckling" another title for "Don't torture a duckling"? i am assuming it is. Great film but really Dario Argento feeling. More so then anything else he has done [unless we are comparing "Inferno" to "The Beyond"].

@Shane yes that's right, the correct title is You Don't Torture a Duckling :-).. I am a great fan of Argento's early work.. they are remaking Suspiria, by the way.. it has an interesting cast

@david1: totally agree; That little kid, AND the kid in Aliens--the Newt girl---ruined BOTH movies for me. TERRIBLE casting, terrible actors...just couldn't get over 'em. As an actor myself, I had a really hard time with those kids...

Suspira is a movie I love for the soundtrack more then the film itself. Without that soundtrack it will be awful. But I fucking LOVE Goblin. There is a nice section of my vinyl collection dedicated to them. And Fabio Frizzi [Fulci Composer].
