I don’t think it’s the worst film ever but considering what it was supposed to be it is the most disappointing. The last one was complete pish and confirmed the slide of the series into completely generic shoot em up space action dross.

The thing I kind of loved about the first two Alien movies was the sense that you were seeing a tiny piece of a much bigger story -the company, the space jockey, the origin of it all wasn’t explained but it gave the films a kind of resonance. The fact that the cast for those films were very much “everymen/women” (a working crew of a mining ship and a bunch of marines) added to that sense.

Explaining every little bit of the bad story and the overly grandiose way it was done makes those films worse than the sum of their parts.

 

I've only seen the first Alien film and I don't care for it, despite it containing lots of things I like.

Prometheus had potential I felt it was dumbed down for audiences that had yet to see the previous Alien films. I liked Noomi Rapace in the Millenium series she's a quality actress but in Prometheus she was miscast.

She was the sole redeeming feature of the piece tbh

It’s annoying me wondering if your name is Super Big Al or Super Bi Gal?

My name is neither of those.  

Does that help or are you still annoyed ?

Microbiologist on BBC News this morning saying that masks were completely pointless and those wearing scarves and snoods around their faces were actually putting themselves more at risk due to the material catching and holding bacteria.

When I was up getting checked out at hairmyres when this all kicked off they made me wear a mask. At one point I was struggling with it and the doc said something along the lines of Don't worry about me pal, as long as my mask is on you're OK, essentially pointing out that a mask stops you from infecting others rather than vice versa as people seem to think. Therefore, if every c**t wore a mask it would have a great benefit, but wearing a mask to stop others from infecting you is pointless. 

In saying that, I do wear a mask when I'm out (I'm on immunotherapy so pretty high risk) and despite knowing all this there is a psychological benefit to it in that I feel safer with it on, despite knowing it is pretty ineffective. I realise this probably makes me dense as f**k and a borderline mouth breather but so be it.

It seems there is “Covid ultras” on here. You can’t say anything derogatory about it or the media hysteria being way overboard and scaremongering or you’ll get negged. Really don’t know why they’ve got such a lob on over it 

Indeed.

The norm used to be to question everything that came out from the government and the mainstream media

Now it appears that it’s the norm to accept everything the government and the mainstream media say!

I watched Prometheus last week and it might be the worst film I've ever seen. Even discounting the frankly offensive Scottish accent in it.

Alien Covenant is also terrible although the sexual tension between Michael Fassbender and himself is pretty class.

Today is the first set of results which includes those who died at home or hospices. So the increase is that group up until last week, plus any since yesterday.

Assuming there were a substantial number of those, the number seems low.

According to DHSC, 381 new deaths in 24 hours to 5pm yesterday, same basis for measurement as before. Only deaths of those hospitalised are counted.

I stand corrected.  I'm certain they said very recently that they would start taking into account all deaths, but that one set of figures would be a week behind the other.

I didn't say she wasn't, her acting ability still shone though. Made me think about how many other films that were saved from not becoming complete turkeys by the performance of one actress or actor.

I meant that I found her attractive

I watched that too and preferred it to Prometheus since there were fewer stupid accents, fewer underdeveloped tertiary characters, fewer stupid decisions and actions carried out and there was something vaguely interesting about the Fassbender on Fassbender violence premise

It still stunk, mind you. The shit coming out of the flowers and going in their ears.

Also the Alien looks almost as bad as the one in the original despite the near 40 years of technological development.

Hmm still unsure if you’re male or female, so no further forward

Sadiq Khan has said there is ‘no risk’ of people catching coronavirus while travelling on buses or trains in the capital.
The Mayor of London has urged people to continue to use the Tube and go to concerts despite the outbreak of the disease. So far in the UK, 39 people have tested positive to the virus.
Mr Khan said it is ‘important we don’t spread panic or alarm’ and urged politicians to ‘reply upon the best advice we have from the public health experts and from the chief medical officer’.
So you're now reduced to posting stuff from 4 weeks ago. Fucks sake.
