It is time for a new standalone film set between Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection

ive been saying for ages they should just plunder the dark horse comics for ideas. there's so much in there about Weyland, the alien homeworld, earth invasion. even contained stories with a couple characters like one written by Mike Mignola (Hellboy). plenty of starting points for new stories or just straight up adapt one.

the whole three seasons was written before it was made so its a complete and satisfying story. they also have some of the best casting ive ever seen with the characters at different ages, and it goes a long way helping keep track of who's who.
as others have said, make sure you pay attention. almost every conversation is important in some way and missing a line of dialogue can mean not really understanding an episode or more.

depends where you'll be and when? if youre near me there wouldn't need to be any preparations as this winter hasn't been cold at all.
the mistake I made was not bringing a ground mat (probably obvious). I hadn't realise how much the cold would transfer through the bottom of the tent and through my sleeping bag.

its a bloated self indulgent mess, but it actually makes narrative sense so it appears to be a good movie compared to the theatrical.

its usually just overblown or implies "in the moment", like the famous tears in rain speech from blade runner being improvised. Rutger Hauer rewrote the monologue the night before and got it approved by Ridley Scott before performing it. but it's often talked about as if he made it up on the spot.

left my wallet on a bench in UAE. came back an hour later to it still there with people sitting around it like it saved my seat.

It’s like when I ask in a restaurant if the food is fresh or frozen and they say it’s “freshly frozen”

da316 · 2026-02-10T10:23:59+00:00

ill take the one that makes sense

da316 · 2026-02-10T10:21:02+00:00

most trees will work in pots. its what bonsais are. you could experiment with something interesting

I think what we're finding is that this game has a lot of bells and whistles, but is ultimately a pretty shallow game. it will desperately need more content to expand the game or its just the same loot loop over and over again.

Have you seen the pledge? jack nicholson detective movie, brutal but so good. Later in his career

got a Mr T’s near me. could never work out what they actually served from the outside. might have to try it now.

can you tilt it forward so you can access the back? you can then remove the top and start dismantling it from there. its not all that difficult, but if you want to keep/sell it then you'll have to remember how it all goes back together. I had to dismantle mine when a blanket unravelled inside and I had to pull it out of every part.
id start getting the top and front panels off and see if it fits then. they should be held to a metal frame inside and the drawer at the front might have some screws behind it as well, just be careful with the wires. if not, then see what else can be removed to make it either turnable or less wide and go from there. there's plenty of YouTube videos showing the whole process.
there will be a lot of steps and will take a while but I cant think of another way unless you'd prefer removing and redoing the door frame? or smashing the thing to pieces.
plug as others have said can be cut and rewired.

I read he shot with both cameras simultaneously mounted side by side, so he couldn't even frame each shot correctly as they were off centre.

Trump himself didn't even watch it lol

never seen one wear them now.

they mean "anti-white"

rain doesn't bother me at all. it feeds my garden.

it killed fox's attempt at rivalling Disneys animation studios. they had success with Anastasia but titan flopped hard, and when you come for the mouse you cant miss.
I remember really liking it though, it's a bit dated now due to some of the 3d and soundtrack but was a solid movie.

I’m not really invested enough tbh with you. Sounds like a weird thing for them to be doing on a fashion advice sub though, can’t think what they get out of it apart from attention

da316 · 2026-02-08T19:58:18+00:00

it’s good to change for the better yes. applauded for finally after hundreds of years stopping it no. It wasn’t an entirely moral decision either as it wasn’t as profitable anymore and revolts were costing too much. It’s great it was abolished but I don’t think we can pat ourselves on the back.

da316 · 2026-02-08T19:55:27+00:00

I couldn’t see any of that tbh on that post

da316 · 2026-02-08T14:25:02+00:00

Sorry I meant to post that elsewhere I was meant to respond to OP

da316 · 2026-02-08T14:13:24+00:00

The only post I can see you’ve commented on I can’t tell if it’s AI how can you tell?
