I was reading a thing on the AV Club about how Sigourney Weaver found the Alien Vs. Predator movie(s) depressing while at the same time, embracing Neil Blomkamp's efforts to making another Alien movie with her.
The post is mainly directed at the franchise going in the wrong direction -- which in contrast with Alien 3, is far worst than where people thought then newcomer David Fincher was taking it. Now, that we know how Fincher's career ended up, can we stop hating on Alien 3 now?
I blame the fat-fucks out there who grumbled through the film when it came out and decided to plant their seeds of hatred into children -- who are no different from the religiously indoctrinated who, let's face it, are pedophiles who love to plant those seeds in the vulnerable... when are we gonna lock those people up?
We've gone through this arc, you see; where we've gone well past a fourth movie, two AVP's and a prequel to the whole thing and now with a new Alien movie in the works, we should accept that movie and any other as the definite part of the narrative now.
Yeah, people are gonna do what they want of course and aside from the fact that Alien 3 was one of those movies that went through development hell -- the director's cut is a mess so I'll give you that -- the final cut is consistent in it's tone, it has as least two great actors Charles Dance and Charles Dutton and likely the most traumatic plot twist in the life of its main character, as if she hadn't already gone through enough shit.
I mean if anything Alien: Resurrection was a bit of a stretch and yet I thought it was just as traumatic as her death (spoiler?) in the 3rd one. It's a beautiful thing, this story line. It's not like the director didn't know what he was doing. If I were to say that at least Uwe Boll didn't direct it, that fat-fuck I mentioned earlier would say he would have done a better job. To that person, start taking yourself out of the picture. At the very least, people should start treating those naysayers like confederate flags and bring them down.
I guess what I'm saying is, do yourself a favor and go watch Alien 3 today. It'll likely look much different from what it looked like some years ago.
