They weren't as individually memorable as the cast of Alien and Aliens, but they did okay. The 'jerk' was just annoying. I was glad when he stuck his face into the egg and got blinded. The moron adopted android was annoying at first but I quickly realised the point of it once he got that chip and changed.
I believe the aim of the production design was to link into the look and feel of Alien (1979) while also integrating some elements of Alien: Isolation (which was of a similar style) and even Aliens, so in that regard they did a great job. Not just with the screens but the aliens, controls, weapons, hardware, general look and feel. My hats off to them, it felt immersive if you think back to those earlier films.
I was thinking this also when I watched it. You'd think WY, with its vast funds and resources, would be all over it well before it got to the planet, especially with its (initially slower) impending crash.
I too read it as 'Ridley' when I saw the post title! Then reading the post text and replies I got confused a little until realising it was 'Ripley'.
I assumed it was to capture her and use her as an incubator like with Newt.
It was certainly on my mind and I assumed the adrenalin / shock was somehow keeping the pain away, at least initially, and then wear and tear might have toughened up her feet with callouses thereafter.
It was a bit disturbing upon first watch. Someone I know had an accident with her leg and there was a similar opening, and inside you could see the little white balls of fat just like we could see inside his 'foot'. It brought back those memories for me.
I'm not bothered by it all taking place before the main parts of the film.
Reminds me of... A few years ago I saw the deleted intro scene of the heist / robbery filmed for Escape from New York. I was curious about what Snake had done and how he got caught and locked up, but it didn't add anything to the film.
He really wanted to know just about the pen! It's his only two posts on the entire website.
Must be a serious pen collector.
You saying this website has bots which post AI-generated posts, or something? If so, can you please provide links to some examples? Just curious.
That was a silly scene, but considering what went before it (eg. the crane) I was just... whatever! Hopefully it finishes soon.
I discovered this a while ago and watched it out of curiosity. Not a bad episode.
I recall he even turns up in it like a cameo after it finishes.
Yes, it's a really good plot, but I forgot about how much nudity was in it when I sat down with my kid to watch it together. I had to stop it and put something else on.
It's a really great and clever film. It has some slow moments and some things which it could have done without (the nude stuff) but is otherwise quite enjoyable.
I first saw it long ago at about 15 or 16, but don't remember much. I remember thinking it's a "boring art film". Been watching it for the second time just this week and I'm now in my 40s.
Not even when he pulled down that bucket of white paint all over himself? I had a small chuckle.
I think they were a bit overwhelmed by the situation and didn't know where to start to get it done before their window of time closed.
Wolf had experience and connections to take charge in their crisis and give them the confidence they needed that everything was gonna be okay.
I loved this character, how he takes down the notes of the names and situation on his notepad before coming and drives his NSX so crazy, and when he arrives he asks coffee as they stand there stressed out. He had many interesting little things and words of advice.
Wolf would have been great as a stand-alone closed trilogy series of films:
The Wolf: Part I
The Wolf: Part II
The Wolf: Part III
He took charge in a crisis and had experience and connections to help take care of the urgent problem, gave the others confidence everything will be okay.
He was a very interesting character creation. Love how he takes down the notes of the names and situation on his notepad before leaving and drives the NSX like a maniac, and then upon arrival he asks for the coffee.
I wish we could have seen a scene of them driving to the car yard and how he would handle a cop car pulling up next to them.
They should have made a spin-off trilogy about Winston.
The Jupiter system mining and general look and feel certainly seem to have influence on Red Dwarf. I've always liked this movie and I've loved Red Dwarf since season one came out.
Yes, BHC2 is so different to BHC in its visual styling. I wish they had stuck with director Martin Brest for that sequel but he passed on it for some reason. He went on to make Midnight Run which is fantastic.
I agree, it's a comedy but it's not the type which makes you laugh much. It's just interesting and something not to take too seriously. We recently re-watched Ace Ventura as a family and that was a movie which made us all laugh, despite some moments which have clearly not aged well.
