Just put out the sign and get the snowplows and Soylent Green trucks.

Is it possible to embed videos? I can see how it might get annoying if people did it too often though.

And more bbcodes? I don't think we can do strikethrough, for example.

Can we make suggestions? I have Ridley on the brain a little bit because of the Alien prequel, so how about favorite Ridley Scott-directed movie. Here's a budget/BO chart (missing The Duellists).

-Alien
-Blade Runner
-Thelma & Louise
-Black Rain
-Black Hawk Down
-Other

This is more about the franchise than Alien itself, i just read some good news.

What's the deal with Fox anyway? It's like they prefer to make junk like Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem instead of spending a few bucks and maybe getting something equal to the original. Why would they give Ridley a hard time? I hope they get Portman but i can't really picture her as a "female Colonial Marine general".

Have you ever seen Straw Dogs? That's messed up movie.

I guess we're right on track global warming wise.

I like polls but we need better questions.

Well said. But... Metalica? I think people are just sick of hearing about how great the VFX are. (But they are.)

The replicants aren't great, they're slaves. Creating them was evil. It's the result of a total lack of empathy.

The unicorn is cool. Ridley insisting that it means Deckard's a replicant is retarded.

2 things bug me about that movie.
1, the editing: no VO, lose old Joanna Cassidy's CG face replacement, keep Batty's "father" line, use the quicker scene at Deckard's apt at the end from the work print, and keep the happy ending.
2, the acting style: I don't know anything about acting so can't really explain it but Ford's goofy exaggerated smiles are... wrong. Hauer's theatrical evilness is just right. The love scene is wrong. Ridley's previous movie, Alien, had this weird ultra realistic acting where the actors sometimes even flubbed the dialogue on purpose and it worked perfectly. But not here. Ford's perfect when he's running around, but his acting is hardboiled and cartoony at the same time and it don't work for me. Except when he tells Rachel she's a skinjob, that's a beautiful scene.

Maybe you should do Raw Deal.

Thanks, man. You're sweet.

It's like Apocalypse Now Redux, don't watch that version first (if ever).
