Ah, prequel memes. Enjoy them while they are still legal guys! Is that something in danger of going away? I thought satire was acceptable.

And as far as the original Star Wars goes, the only really good dialogue was lifted entirely from the subtitles of "Hidden Fortress." The series didn't actually get a good writer until the sequels, when Lawrence Kasdan took over. I haven't seen them, but I bet TLJ would have been better received if they hadn't fired him from the series. All films are great by accident. Nobody ever KNOWS how a film will be received. Not even Di$ney or Spielberg As for the bolded statement, you are dangerously close to losing all credibility with me. The Sequels were NOT well-written by any measure. You can like them if you wish, but attempts to divert expectations via smart-ass juvenile tactics is NOT what good screenwriting is comprised of. The prequels had bad dialogue (no question) but were built on a 3-film arc that MADE SENSE and didn't insult the fan base. Lucas is an excellent world-builder & story writer, but his weakness is dialogue. This is very evident with the Prequels, as Lucas had his buddy Spielberg help with some Ghost-writing of the script of episode 3 To say that the sequels are well-written or even better than the prequels is foolish to the point of being reckless. The Prequels are like your uncle telling you war stories, which are ultimately profound despite his over-romanticized view of a bygone era. The Sequels are like your weird, wealthy Aunt buying you a Tumblr tee-shirt & some fucking blue hair dye for your birthday because she heard you like internet feminism & thinks it's cute...

Is that something in danger of going away? I thought satire was acceptable. As far as I'm aware the new EU legislation doesn't include a "fair use" clause. Bye bye freedom of speech. I wonder how that legislation will work when people in the US are still posting those memes? Will they go the China route of censorship?

Lets see one franchise, as far as I know, might actually be dead on arrival with all of its sequels apparently being put on hold. One franchise keeps on trying to reboot itself and recapture the glory years but with ever more ridicilious twists that they then spoil in the trailers (oddly enough I did rather like Terminator Salvation). While the final franchise continues to make reams of money and has multiple installments still in production. I think it'll do just fine Has there been any further news on whether or not Ridley Scott will in fact get to make one more Alien film? It sounds from this like it was at least tentatively going ahead: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_(franchise)#Future_Installments

I was looking forward to Neil Blomkamp's version. I would rather he continue on with developing District 10 cause that has massive potential and most of all, its unique.

They should at least finish the David saga.
In other news, I'll probably see The Predator tonight. I don't have high hopes but I'll report back.

I was pretty apprehensive when saw the silly-ass trailer with the "your mom's vagina is rated E for everyone" line, and also Shane Black is not exactly a powerhouse director. I recently learned that this film contains hybrid pitbull-Predator creatures for some reason... so I have gone from apprehensive to actively avoiding this flick. Funny how they just keep hammering away at the whole "genetic engineering/hybrid" angle. I don't understand why, the soul of the first (& kinda 2nd) film was the creature and the lore surrounding it, the code of honor that Predators cling to & the pathetic attempts by humans to match this discipline. It's somewhat ironic, as I felt Requiem was a bit underrated

Not really. I liked it as a kid, but watching as an adult I find it pretty clunky. Best things about it are the music and the fact Peter Cushing's in it.

*still waiting for CrutchCricket to report back* The Predator is the most disappointing thing since the last most disappointing thing's son. Yeah, it's Plinkett review-worthy bad. It starts out decent, has a lot of good ideas, to the point where a good Predator movie was almost there, under the surface. But then the nosedive it takes is perfect in its trajectory of garbage. Also, it might literally have been edited on cocaine. I may go in more detail later, if I still go through with an Alien/Predator thread.

Yikes, but that's pretty consistent with everything I've heard: the editing is horrid and the whole thing just nosedives. Its a damn shame because I was looking forward to this movie at one point.

Thank god i didn't spend money on this and will still watch it for free, but don't create a new Alien/Predator thead. After Covenant and this film it will be have the cheeriness of a morgue.
