You always did have a sharp eye for details
Sadly all the lovers gave up. Seems that Covenant wore them out and Romulus was just too far gone for them to make head nor tails of
Although John got in touch with GalahadFairlight after the boards went down.
Perhaps true love occurred, somehow
This place is no IMDb but I'm sure you can knock sense into a couple of heads should you feel the need

Yes, seems like (from what I've read at least) that Spanners and co seem to have tried to claim a win in the Prometheus debate. Funny how literally nobody in the movie world of any consequence shares that delusion.
I actually thought that when the imdb boards went down, you'd reinvented yourself as The Critical Drinker, lol. Pouring acerbic Scottish ire on Hollywood bilge.
I only got around to Covenant last year funnily enough. Prometheus traumatised me.

Even the professional critic Mark Kermode walked back his thoughts on Prometheus Taud
There was never anything to that movie but great cinematics, superb cast and an intellectual property to set sail from.
How they sank it so badly is anyone's guess but it seems to have drifted into so many franchises these days that it must be some sort of strategy
As for the Critical Drinker, he was great at the beginning. Got a few years under his belt as a worthwhile channel to watch regarding how modern cinema was lacking. But he's lost his way, chasing whatever it topical and popular the way a Jewish lawyer chases ambulances
You should check out Romulus and Earth. Still a bit guff but no more so than Resurrection -

Yep, Hollywood has lost the plot, often literally it seems.
I've watched fewer and fewer movies at the cinema of late, and it's not just because of covid, it's because there's damn all worth watching.
I found myself looking at a list of movies Hollywood put out in '93, I saw 17 of them at the cinema. 17. I've watched two in the last five years I think and both of them have been Dune. It takes a Villeneuve type to make me vaguely interested.
I've watched plenty of movies at home, but mostly over a decade old. Ones that I'd missed on initial release, usually. And some, like Covenant, that I thought I might as well see how bad it was. I've seen Romulus too. Thought that one was kind of forgettable.
You should try a YouTube channel, don't let Drinker get all the shekels.
How come your emojis are colour? -

Everyone's emojis are colour Taud, it's a proper free speech platform here - not benefits for cash or brown-nosing
Although they do have a clique who like to think they can control things around here.
Just spin your charm -

My socks are of the age of majority. I wish the feet that were in the them were younger, mind.
