Dengar. I’m a nerd.

It went ok. Dudes upvote ratio got a little dinged.

Necromechanicy?

He’s two decades older than plate tectonics being even theorized.

He was born before black people could play in MLB.

And how else would you suggest we pay tribute to Anoia?

I mean, if I’m being honest, I’d go see a Covenant/Prometheus sequel if they made one. Not that I think it would be good, but that I’m holding out hope that it might be.

I can see all of this. I do agree about Bilbo being crammed in and the secondary characters being just Alien fodder. And yeah, regular xenos are fine, stop fucking about with them. But all in all I still enjoyed it way morecthan the last 2. Maybe the last 3.

I dug it.

Alien is my favorite horror movie and deff on my top 5 all time list. Aliens is one of the best sequels ever made. 3 and 4 I don’t hate and need to rewatch as it’s been several years. Covenant and Prometheus were awful as part of the Alien franchise (imo) and probably just mid scifi movies if removed from it (again, imo). I feel like they actually took Alien out of cosmic horror and made it less scary and dulled a lot of the mystery.

Romulus was deff a throw back to the og. There was a lot of call-back and fan service, some of which worked, some not so much. But at the end of the day, it felt like I was back in the Alien universe. It was scary. It was dirty. It was dangerous- not just because the characters were stupid and caused their own deaths.

Bluetooth that works. The ability to email large files. Low cost broadband. The right to repair. Not lose the ownership of digital media.

Well, I am stupid but in this particular situation I’m being sarcastic.

It’s too soon to politicize this event. We’re sure there will be time later to talk about laws and what can be done but right now what we need is understanding and thoughts and prayers.

100 years starting…Now.

I tried really hard to do this book but it beat me. It’s a dnf on my list this year. The radio play is pretty good too.

We watched Pontypool when we read Snow Crash. There’s a scene where Snow Crash is placed really obviously if your looking fot it and the themes mesh really nicely.

Alien is my favorite horror movie by far. I really dig Hellraiser too. I watched Pontypool recently and was surprised how good it was. And The Shining is fab.

“Caught on camera” like some soccer mom was in a mall parking lot with her camera out.

And for a couple of hours, they smelled nice.
