                  Alien Covenant...subpar to Alien and Aliens but still very good. On the level with Prometheus but a tad less character development.

                  I hope Ridley Scott gets a 3rd prequel in because he has in no way answered who the engineers are nor where they come from and whether they created humans. Also hasn't answered why they created Aliens or IF they actually did create them.

                  Fassbender as David is finally a villain I can really hate. What a great character. He's like Kathy bates in misery x100.

                    Here's the full Nicholas Brothers number jumping / splits on the staircase with Cab Calloway. It's incredible. The opening 1:30 is Calloway's scat singing, then the remainder of the clip is the brothers gradually taking over and then only doing the greatest flash dancing in film history.

                    Remarkably, the brothers are in their 30s in that WW2 clip and they both lived into this century.

                      I dont think he will...the movie completely bombed in the States and even WW it didnt do that great.

                        That's a bummer. Even though these prequels could have been tightened up a bit (better character development etc)they've offered An opportunity to answer some great philosophical questions within that universe.

                          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                            The problem is Ridley had too much power. No one wanted to argue with him cause he is Ridley Scott. What everyone forgot is Ridley Scott hasnt exactly been setting the world on fire lately.

                            Prometheus was good but it should have been great. Scott seemed like he had good ideas but never really followed through with any of them. It ended up being disjointed...

                              True, sounds like Lucas and his prequels where everyone around him was simply cheerleading vs challenging him.

                              I think Scott's last big success was The Martian but I would think he's going to have to cast a couple of big stars and possibly hand over writing duties if he's going to be allowed to finish the Alien story and get us to the beginning of the original

                                To be fair, those scripts were beyond fixing.
