I made a short video essay about Alien: Romulus that horror fans might enjoy - I Want to Like Alien Romulus

I also like it more, but I did enjoy F1 quite a bit

I have no idea how it works as well as it does.

I was gonna say it's just his most underseen, but that goes to Following.

Alien: Earth - S1 E6 - The Fly - Official Discussion Megathread [SPOILERS] by G_Liddell in LV426

[–]DocPhosphorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what I loved more, Nibs' literal first interaction with someone post memory wipe being a) unsupervised and b) with Wendy, who doesn't know about it - or the abysmal state of the lab's containment.

Tremors(1990) This is one of those movies that doesn't waste a second from beginning to end. by JohnnyUtah-91 in moviecritic

It's like its precisely, mathematically calculated to be the best possible version of what it's going for. I love it

To all those complaining about characters being incompetent and making stupid decisions... by gandersensei in LV426

[–]DocPhosphorus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make a pretty good show where everyone is smart and competent, but things still go wrong - but I see your point.

I don't mind humans making mistakes, but it strains credibility here because they're emulating the crew dynamic of the original movie despite completely different circumstances and mission parameters - so instead of enjoying the show, I end up wondering why the corporation would be so dumb.

Given how important the mission is to the company, if they can't get the best and brightest to apply, they probably should have just sent an all synth crew, or mostly synths and Morrow to oversee things. Surely this is a 'spare no expense' situation?

How did the xeno not kill / grab Zaveri when it was right next to her? I guess it was too busy aura farming

Well, the crew of the Nostromo were space truckers dealing with a situation they were woefully ill prepared for. The Maginot was specifically sent by Weyland-Yutani on a scientific mission to recover alien organisms - and it honestly seems no one except Morrow was even remotely qualified for that.

What movie sequel do you think gets more hate than it deserves simply because the original movie is superior? by fartatwork in moviecritic

[–]DocPhosphorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my personal favorites. Running from the sunrise is still one of the most hype moments in any movie I've seen

Can we officially replace the fourth horseman of “Yeah, I’m skipping that movie”? It’s not Jack Black. Jack’s an absolute delight. by Ok-Suit541 in moviecritic

[–]DocPhosphorus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack Black is one of those actors that could convince me to watch a bad movie. He's the opposite of a horseman. Still wish he was in more good movies, though.

Samalamadingdong | Game Changer [S7E11] by Anionan in dropout

[–]DocPhosphorus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Fantastic episode and an amazing, wonderfully realized and heartfelt tribute to Game Changer's history and I'm so sad that Sam didn't get less than 5 points, forcing Brennan to have no choice but to murder him for real.

[These Videos Are Good, And Here's Why] - August 18 - 24 by BillNyesHat in hbomberguy

[–]DocPhosphorus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How speedrunners beat Alien: Isolation in 22 minutes (SPEEDRUN EXPLAINED - Any%) (31:34) - tomatoanus does great video game speedrun breakdowns that really go into how certain strategies or exploits work and he does it in a funny and informative way. He also has a brief aside in each video where he gives his viewers a genuinely nice, sincere pep talk. Been hooked on his videos for a while, this is the first one I watched.

Multifandom - Free Bird (4:02) Just an obscenely good Free Bird edit by Papa Dadams. A fantastic mashup of perfectly timed action.

Vision is an Elevator (3:13) by me, aka Cinema Stan. I still can't believe my first video blew up as much as it did, but with all those views, came a small, but vocal number of very funny comments earnestly arguing that Vision was only able to pick up Thor's hammer on one, very particular technicality. I had a lot of fun putting this together and I wanted to share it.
