movie is ok but casting is fucking retarded. they picked probably the least charismatic actors imaginable fucking retard shaved head asian girl. retard black guy. annoying douche white guy. plain jane white feminist self insert. boring fucking shit. i'm only 36 mins in but when i saw the trope of the white girl with black guy foil i'm guessing she's gonna be the strong problem solver in this movie?
shareI haven’t seen it yet (I’m looking forward to it though, it’s high on my watch-list since I’m what you might call a mega-fan of the franchise) but the cast doesn’t seem to be hurting its fortunes in any way. I’ve been reading great reviews and it seems to be a considerable financial success.
It’s a shame the cast ruined it for you. On a positive note though, your mention of the retard asian and retard black actors is heartening. It’s wonderful that mentally disabled people are now given equal opportunity in modern movies, don’t you think?
As for the plain Jane white feminist, I wasn’t aware that Sigourney was in this one too. Great news!
Thanks for making me even more excited about seeing this.
Once you've seen this (terrible) movie...you'll realise you've wasted all that 'sarcasm' on so-little
shareOh I don’t know, I got a reply from the mighty seagull, so it’s not a total loss. 🪶
General consensus says it’s far from terrible, but yeah, I’ll wait to see for myself. I really liked Alien: Resurrection, so being told a movie is shit is no real deterrent. Especially when it comes to the Alien universe.
general consensus is the people who got paid to shill it you fucking idiot. i stopped watching like 1hr into the movie. it's terrible. no suspense whatsoever. people dying senselessly. it's like they go straight from exposition to people dying in 5 minutes. it's a formulaic teen slasher movie.
shareThat’s a shame. I’ll let you know what I think of the remaining hour.
Much love,
The fucking idiot x
Why are you so mad?
sharebecause kiwijim was rude to be on his first reply? replying to him with rudeness isnt me getting mad.
shareYou insulted him though.
sharehis first reply was sarcastic, i replied with the same tone, then he replied with this.
"You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?"
he pretended not to know what i was saying, so i replied the same way. then he got mad and went for a personal attack. if he wants to be a bitch, then he'll get it right back. do you get it now? anyone who can't have a rational argument without resorting to personal attack is a fucking idiot and does not deserve even a modicum of respect.
Fair enough.
shareit's a formulaic teen slasher movie.
I like 'Ressurection' also (it's my second favourite in the series)
But the cast in this one, resemble a 'Beneton' ad campaign...as opposed to remotely likable/well rounded characters.
I'm British, and even I couldn't decipher some of the (over-sweary) slack-jawed mockney patois on display here.
Very weak casting... but feel free to let me know what you thought of it?
it basically is a formulaic teen slasher movie with an alien skin. i don't know what happened to hollywood but it seems all the writers with actual talent have been ousted. it's uniformly bad on every network and studio. there used to be so many good shows and movies out every year but there hasnt been any for a long time now.

I love it how racists and misogynists roll on the floor screaming about “wokeness” ruining Alien films, it’s priceless.

In 1979? Yes, it was a fine film too. But back then there was no one pissing their pants screaming “wooooooookkkeee!” because they spotted a black actor or because the hero was a kick-ass woman.
Those fucking pansies only came about fairly recently. Glad you’re not like that though Smell-ton 💪🏽
Yeah, try reading a thread before obnoxiously inserting yourself into it, missing the point and humiliating yourself 🤦🏻♂️
You wokists are already despised anal scum, but those of you who attempt an impersonation of a normal person with your lame ‘ooo black actor = woke!’ shtick somehow manage to be even more pathetic.
Welp, on to the list you go: https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/66bff21be2b59409e700e862/If-Moviechat-was-Shawshank-prison
I’m fucking crushed 🥲😆
shareLots of new Sisters kick and scream for a bit when they go on the list, you’ve really embraced it. You’ll be an inspiration to the others.
shareYes I saw your thread. I didn’t just embrace it, I adored it. It was fucking fantastic. The most detailed display of psychosis and mental breakdown playing out in real time I’ve ever witnessed. A decent person should really insist you seek immediate psychiatric treatment, even intervene and have you committed, but fuck it’s just too funny and entertaining.
Bravo, Norman Bates. Bravo.
Always adorable watching a wokist try to pathologise a normal person. You’re gonna fit right in with your fellow Sisters 🙏🏻
shareholy shit dude. i love that list. yea if you've been on this forum for a while, you've gotten a reply from those people and they've annoyed you. haha. it almost feels like kowalski follows me around but he just posts a lot. sometimes he's kinda funny too. kiwijim is like an anal wart.
sharethis guy was an ugly side character. he wasnt central to alien films and he didnt write nor direct it. are you too dumb to even realize this?
shareI was responding to the two word comment “Diversity Hires”. How could anyone assume those words were referring to the screenwriter or director, in a thread about the CASTING?
shareyea he was a diversity hire but he has so little effect on the quality of the movie that it didn't matter. if they cast ripley with some ugly shaved head black woman, that movie would've bombed to hell. they didn't and that's why nobody complained about woke. today they do and the movie sucks. that's why we complain. are you really that fucking stupid or you're pretending not to understand so you can win an argument? also it's not even about them being black or us being racist. we never had problems with denzel or will smith movies. that wasn't woke. they were extremely charismatic actors. actors like that arent who they're casting nowadays when they get a black actor.
shareYou expected a wokist to actually read a thread before commenting? 🤣
These sad fuckers impulsively fart out their pre-programmed ‘you’re racist!’ talking points, there’s not a shred of thought beyond ‘how will I look to my fellow NPC cultists? Did I signal enough virtue??’
KiwiJim is a special case because he thinks he’s funny and intelligent, when he’s in fact a tedious low IQ gobshite who can’t read 🤣
Thank you for that analysis. Although it should be noted that I never professed to be intelligent. That said, it doesn’t take great intelligence to identify your monstrous personality disorder and latent homosexuality. Your finger-pointing posts make both of those things quite obvious to everyone who reads them, as you can see by the responses in your predatory homosexual thread.
shareAlways adorable watching a wokist try to pathologise a normal person. You’re gonna fit right in with your fellow Sisters 🙏🏻
Yea, that’s right, everyone thinks you’re a closet gay.
You might as well just come out at this stage. No one will judge.
Just like Kowalski - always trying to bag yourself a straight with the ‘You’re actually a closet gay…’ routine 🤣
shareNot really. It’s just that most straight guys secure in their heterosexuality tend not to create threads listing all the people who they have ever disagreed with and labeling them not only homosexuals but predators. It’s a sick thing to do and you know it. And to question why is reasonable.
shareThat’s it, keep trying… 🤣
shareNah I’m done with both the conversation and with you, both are boring me shitless to be perfectly honest. Keep smiling and spreading those good vibes Melton.
shareThis is where you give it some slack before you try to reel ‘em in. I’ve seen how you Sisters operate…
sharehow can it not be boring? your brain is only capable of 3 kinds of arguments.
shareThat is quite literally what you accuse everyone you disagree with of being. Pot, kettle, black dude.
shareHey Stalkey 👋🏻
Pot, kettle, black dude.
you know skavau, i forgot your name from months ago. i saw you talk rationally about movies just now so i replied earnestly. you really shouldnt be in this woke battle as if you're holier than thou if you enjoyed shogun. that's absolutely hypocritical. you need to take a good look at yourself. you're biased as fucking shit.
sharethe irony with people like you who try to use homophobia as a negative label is you yourself are being homophobic by implying it's a negative social aspect to be gay. what a bunch of hypocrites.
shareis that all the arguments you have? racism, misogyny, homophobia? what a fucking joke.
shareseriously. if they actually argued rationally, they would realize they were wrong and they couldn't stand it. the facts now are undeniable. the people they cast are shit actors. the writers are shit. the directors are shit. they're all dei hires. anyone who denies the tv show and movies quality today isnt equal to just 10 years ago is intellectually dishonest. completely in denial. so they pop in with personal attacks. that's all they have to argue from.
share>anyone who denies the tv show and movies quality today isnt equal to just 10 years ago is intellectually dishonest. completely in denial. so they pop in with personal attacks. that's all they have to argue from.
I don't use personal attacks. I can't speak for movies, but there are a load of great TV shows from the last 10 years.
I don't use personal attacks
I'll amend: I only get personal when people throw abuse at me. A number of users have long since gone past my green line, and I feel free to call them more-or-less whatever I like.
I don't use personal attacks as a substitute for arguments.
I'll amend
Sorry, correcting myself when you point I do insult people (who I believe are nasty people and who themselves hurl abuse) means I was lying?
Do you assume anyone who takes a correction in any discussion was lying before that point?
Oh bore off, liar.
shareLying about what? I took your pointer and adjusted.
share10 years is moving the goal post big time. nobody said 10 years. the show quality only dropped in the last 3 years. that's really where this woke shit really ramped up.

Yep, personal attacks and, in the case of Skavau, relentless reporting to the mods in the hope that they’ll censor and ban anyone who dissents or points out his obvious regime gaslighting routine.
Unfortunately for Skavau, the mods are on to his shtick now. He failed to gaslight them with his BS victim narrative 🤣 Check it out: https://moviechat.org/general/General-Discussion/671b5132f429e5320251b9a4/Reports?reply=671d4f642e5d6e6377b76f32
>Yep, personal attacks and, in the case of Skavau, relentless reporting to the mods in the hope that they’ll censor and ban anyone who dissents or points out his obvious regime gaslighting routine.
Except I've never ever reported anyone purely for disagreeing with me. This is an outright lie. I specifically told the mod that and they haven't replied to me.
I have consistently explained why I report, when I report. it has nothing to do with just disagreeing with me.
It's unbelievable how truly and utterly obsessed you are with me.

"It’s wonderful that mentally disabled people are now given equal opportunity in modern movies, don’t you think?" that's exactly the problem. why in the fuck would you want to see retards in movies? we watch movies to enjoy it, not see horrors.
shareThey 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.
shareThe autistic robot was the worst part. I wish he’d been torn in half by an alien.
And yeah, a bunch of 19/20 year olds just turned the movie into generic slasher, which was exactly the problem with AvP Requiem too, except Requiem at least knew it was a B-movie and had fun with it. The original series was memorable because all the characters were middle-aged, regular people who got dragged into situations against their will, and reacted logically. Not annoying Zoomers who you wish to see die.
Anyway, this movie was basically an “alien isolation” adaptation instead of being anything serious.
their age wasnt as much of a problem as everything else. there was no suspense nor mystery. it went from exposition to them dying left and right within like 5 minutes. a movie without suspense nor mystery is what? was this suppose to be an action adventure with deaths? i don't think pure action movies are watchable in 2024 and beyond. we've seen too many. also what the fuck is up with the british accents? why did they even put two british in the movie for?
shareThey had English actors in the first movie, except they were legendary Shakespearean actors and not tik tokers/insta kids.
So yes, it’s the dumbing down of society.
I like Cailee. She fills that hole Ellen Page left behind. I agree the rest of the cast was shite.
shareyea she is cute but i'm sick of them filling media with non sexy women now. meanwhile women are dressing nastier than ever in real life and if you say anything about it, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh misogynyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
