So far I only like Solyaris, even though Tarkovsky himself was not so happy with it. Last time I watched it, I saw a lot of Blade Runner in it, thematically that is. The film's ending is heartbreaking.

I posted that video years ago.

Fallout: 4/10 (could have been 5/10 if it were not for the terrible finale) Ripley: 7/10 (could have been an 8/10, but just like the movie, the story becomes less interesting once ...

That's weird, Richard, most real Kubrick fans call Spartacus not a Kubrick but a Kirk Douglas movie. It usually ends at the bottom of the list. That means your not a Kubrick fan, Richard, it's the only logical conclusion. Ah, I see you're a connoisseur! Eyes Wide Shut is so underrated!

What most people have missed (because they only count the scares) is that androids in the Alien universe are sexually frustrated.

If Star Wars was a flop in 1977, nobody today would be talking about it. It just would have been another Zardoz.

1. Alien (masterpiece in tone and design, a handbook for every one who wants to do sci-fi, changed cinema) 2. Aliens (it's a tense actioner, Cameron was smart not to copy Scott's movie, changed gaming) 3. Alien Resurrection (saved by Jeunet's caricuture Metal Hurlant style) 4. Alien Covenant (saved by the two Davids) 5. Prometheus/Alien3 (it's a tie for last place - want to throw foam bricks at both of them, both Scott and Fincher should be embarrassed) Who is your favorite Alien android? 1) Ash 2) Bishop 3) David

Of course! And they have the box office gross to prove it! As we all know, the better the movie, the more money it makes (JWFan law n° 9).

Some people love bad film stock a little too much.

I was more thinking of the latest batch of Superhero movies. Was he not defending those movies while blaming the audience for not taking the time or having the patience to appreciate them? OTOH, it's perfectly possible that I too suffer from TikTok-itis, even though I've never been on TikTok.

So it's not the movies but the audience that is mediocre. I see!

Just like Alien.

The Duelists? I've never seen that movie.

Maybe but it's the whole concept of 'laughing with zombies' that I don't find funny.
