I didn’t realize they had Gabriel Luna as Tommy. That’s great casting.

I’m still not convinced that this show needs to exist, but I hope they do justice to the source material at least.

Also, if they end up adapting the sequel I’m not sure I could handle it. The first game is sad, but the second one is fucking heartbreaking.

I didn’t know Eli Roth was involved in this series but maybe that helps to explain why it sucked so much

Reply to Jean-Pierre Jeunet on Alien Resurrection, 25 years on by chrisbokiul

I feel like, whenever there’s a movie that’s as heavily disliked as Alien 3, there inevitably comes a contingent of people 20 years on who try to argue that It’s Good, Actually.

But Alien Resurrection is not good. It’s a complete tonal mismatch for the franchise that’s filled with insufferably corny writing. Maybe if you took the Alien branding off it could work as its own sort of quirky sci-fi horror thing, but even then it’s just totally forgettable and by no means a good film.

It does have two great ideas for scenes, so I’ll give it credit for those. The scene with all the Ripley clones is legitimately unsettling and there are some really fucked up designs there. I think a version of this film that utilized those things as the antagonists instead of the Xenomorph would have been far more effective. The other good idea is the underwater scene. I don’t think the movie actually executes on this one that well, but the idea of putting the characters in a body of water with xenomorphs swimming around could potentially be some of the scariest shit ever.

I agree with you, but I don’t think what you’re talking about is Perlman’s fault. The problem is that the decision was made somewhere along the line (I don’t know if it was the director or what) to give the film that sort of heightened, goofy tone.

I am very much of the belief that SNL is beneath talented comedians like her. The show just isn’t well-written enough to do justice to most of its cast. I understand why comedic actors would want the exposure that the show brings (and the steady paycheck), but creatively it feels like a complete waste of their talent.
