#1 Post by Antoine Doinel »

Boyle's long shelved sci-fi short starring Kenneth Branaugh will be making it's debut soon. Here's the story of how it was revived.

That's a great little story I look forward to seeing it.

Goddamit. I thought this was going to be another Alien sequel. Now I have to deal with the unpleasant fact that for a moment I was excited by the idea of an Alien love triangle, and without even an Alien movie to show for it.

So is that the first creature in history to have three mouths?

And to think I totally blew that movie off as more than likely being shit. I have to learn not to judge a movie before I see it.

I remember reading the movie's Rotten Tomatoes page and there was a little forum at the bottom and even the farthest-gone horror fans were like "This is the worst movie I've ever seen"-- apparently it begins with an alien killing dozens of birthing mothers and their newborn babies in bloody detail-- I seriously never want to meet anyone who has a movie like that sitting on their shelf

I know it is strange to say this but I don't think that is really the point (after all the best horror movies are transgressive) - it is more the way it is handled. From what I have read it is the way the film does not particularly play by the rules of the previous Alien films (this guy explains it better than I could - or would want to!)

This is probably why Paul WS Anderson continues to make films - he might usually make terrible rip offs but then even they get sequelized in such a poor way that I strangely end up feeling nostalgic for the first Resident Evil or the first Alien Vs Predator film!

But back on topic, here is a report from the Alien Love Triangle premiere!
