What happened to your friend... the same thing goes on here.

It takes place at night in the stairwell.

I love streaming weirdass films for my friends because I’ll get comments like “I have no idea what’s going on but I’m having a good time” during the movie

[romanceyourdemons]

the premise of alien resurrection (1997) is so forced it strains all suspension of disbelief and makes a mockery of ripley’s self-sacrifice at the end of the previous film—but the previous film is so dull and this film so interesting, and its treatment of the cartoonish premise is so attentive and responsible, that i have no grounds to criticize the “somehow palpatine returned” pretense of the narrative. this collaboration between two famously quirky filmmakers, screenwriter joss whedon and director jean-pierre jeunet, works beautifully, with jeunet’s lighthearted, almost cartoonishly heightened visuals reminiscent of delicatessen (1991) beautifully complimenting and adding liveliness to whedon’s wry dialogue and vivid character concepts. although the film smacks strongly of whedon’s now done-to-death style, prefiguring firefly and filled to the brim with quips and innuendoes, the self-effacing and fast-paced narrative is a breath of fresh air compared to the terse, self-serious previous films—and yet the film does not lose track of what is most significant to both the franchise and its own setup. with inventive, goopy visuals and heartrending scenarios, the film explores the shifting boundaries of humanity, the horror and power of being (or not being but being viewed as) a woman, violence and motherhood, and the blurred line between the erotic and horror, this time in a primarily lesbian way. the film makes sure to follow through with the implications of its excuse for bringing ripley back, that she and the alien queen were cloned from a frozen drop of her blood, by mixing up human and xenomorph traits in both cloned parties and gracefully retiring ripley from her role as exhausted final girl, making her a quasi-human thing instead. the final product is not a perfect film, with a cluttered first act and dialogue that is sometimes too clever for its own good and undercuts significant emotional beats; however, as a sequel to the alien franchise, it does an admirable job. i consider alien resurrection (1997) the third-best alien film yet created, after the first two, and i would highly recommend it

I was so caught up in my hatred of the meat industry that for a moment I lived in a world where murder was okay.

I'm reminded of the time I referred to cannibalism as "ethical meat consumption" before I remembered that murder is wrong...
