Since the pandemic I've largely been watching movies by downloading them. Initially it was because during the 1st year of Covid-19 all the theaters were closed, but after it was okay to go see stuff on a BIG SCREEN I kept doing it. Not because I was worried about getting infected so much as by the 2nd year of the pandemic I was unemployed.


Below here are 3 of Kroft's videos on Alien: Romulus which I haven't watched yet (even now as I'm typing this) because it wasn't until today I went to see it at a theater; site I get stuff from doesn't have any of the Alien series or the AvP series... though it does have all of the Predator series.

Go figure!







I may write up my own review on it, but mostly I did want to comment on a particular aspect of the Alien series which I noted during this one. Xenos tend to have smooth heads in films where there's only 1 of them and ridged heads when there's multiples of them.

· Alien - 1, smooth head
· Aliens - MANY, ridged heads
· Alien 3 - 1... at a time, xeno queen still inside Ripley doesn't count
· Alien Resurrection - MANY, ridged heads

Alien: Romulus... both.

I never got a clear view of the xenos on the derelict, think they had ridged heads but I'm not sure... but the one which was born in the ship which was evacuating and separated from the derelict, it had a smooth head.

Still think that means something, just not sure what.

In a discussion on the Prime Directive I was presented with this:

PD is "literally" UNENFORCEABLE in the context of the show's whole fckin' PREMISE

My point was Kirk violated it all the time, while this guy was arguing Kirk didn't. But with that final line he basically said everybody violates it all the time.

Game. Set. Match.

Given my love of comics, and once upon a time love of action figures, it's probably not terribly surprising I've taken to skinning as I have.

Although, at this point, think I've done about everything that can be done with the original Superman skin provided by Chris Ollis.
