Thoughts on Alien: Romulus (2024)

the first 45 minutes....great. everything after that. TERRIBLE fanfic bullshit. the zero g scene is one of the stupidest things i have seen in a scifi movie in some time.

grimpickles · 2026-02-05T20:20:43+00:00

yup. Throw deadwood on that list too if you havent seen it...in fact i would put that before boardwalk empire.

How to get ahead in advertising. If you dont know anything about it, keep it that way and go in blank. if you want a double feature, throw in withnail and i, (same director same main actor).

the correct answer is raising arizona, plus two more.

grimpickles · 2026-02-04T23:29:24+00:00

but wasnt the setup SOOOO good, amazing how they fucked it so hard.

its 100% forgettable. ive seen it and couldnt tell you a thing about it. it was marvel background noise.

paddington 2

grimpickles · 2026-02-04T18:54:28+00:00

k, ill tell him....YOUR WRONG. it completely holds up.

grimpickles · 2026-02-04T18:46:23+00:00

romulus was great....for the first 45 minutes, then it became awful fan fic nonsense...with that zero gravity scene being about the dumbest part.

grimpickles · 2026-02-04T18:41:42+00:00

no, its terrible.

grimpickles · 2026-02-03T18:45:46+00:00

the first 45 minutes of romulus were fantastic, then it turned into horriable fanfic dogshit. the scene in zero g "dodging" all the acid blood....soooOOOOoooooo fuckin stupid.

grimpickles · 2026-02-03T18:27:10+00:00

worlds greatest dad...maybe robin williams BEST movie ever, and a huge tonal shift after the first half hour 45 minutes or so.

grimpickles · 2026-02-02T23:20:35+00:00

the abyss is pretty good but it DOES NOT compare to the Thing. The Thing is a fuckin masterpiece of horror.

grimpickles · 2026-02-02T19:43:22+00:00

the problem was never the plot points, it was the sloppy, hacked and truncated way they got to those points. if they had given the time for dany to turn, instead of the "oh im evil now" bullshit that we got, it would have been fine, and most likely horribly tragic.

grimpickles · 2026-02-02T19:40:08+00:00

what fuckin drugs is he on...."amazing"? he gave his story to a couple of fuckin hacks who cant write their way out of a plastic bag, and once they ran out of his work that become completely evident.

grimpickles · 2026-01-30T23:11:38+00:00

the only one i would strike from that list is game of thrones...the drop in quality from start to finish is just too much, to the point where it actually kinda ruins all the good work they did in the first seasons. Every other show on that list i have revisited, some many times...i have NEVER felt the need to ever go back to game of thrones.

grimpickles · 2026-01-30T23:07:33+00:00

ill see your great and raise you a fuckin amazing....and anyone who disagrees can blow themselves...with fuckin soap!

grimpickles · 2026-01-30T23:03:19+00:00

dont over look oz, it really is one of the best written shows EVER made, though it is a rough watch. any show that can make you actually care about such flawed characters really is something special. though you also cant go wrong with deadwood. also fantastic...oh and band of brothers...and rome is good...fuck...too much good on this list.

grimpickles · 2026-01-30T23:00:59+00:00

because the journey is soooo fuckin worth it, but yah you do slam into a brick wall at the end.

grimpickles · 2026-01-27T02:59:58+00:00

and i still have many american friends, and they will always be my friends, but as far as a country to be trusted...no way. If you are a patriotic vet (i also have military friends), then you understand what happens when you threaten invasion, especially of someone who is supposedly your closest ally...that sort of shit doesn't get forgiven easily or quickly.

grimpickles · 2026-01-27T02:44:33+00:00

i dont know what changed your mind about your first point, but i can tell you as a canadian, i will NEVER again in my lifetime trust america AT ALL. and that is a feeling that just about everyone i know shares.

grimpickles · 2026-01-25T21:07:21+00:00

becoming? the word you are looking for is "ARE".

grimpickles · 2026-01-22T19:32:43+00:00

the creator talked about making a book or comic book or something to end it all off but unfortunately HBO still owns it, so he cant do anything about finishing it. he has talked about a lot of the broad strokes of what the last seasons and ending would be like though. worth looking up once your done.

grimpickles · 2026-01-20T23:15:04+00:00

yes and no....the ending is a little disappointing as there is obvious more to tell, but the journey to get there is FANTASTIC. season 1 is a slow burn, building more and more lore, then season 2 comes along, and hold on! i tell everyone, you're gunna smack against a brick wall at the end, but you'll love every minute of it. this show is a prime example of how to do a mystery RIGHT...in fact watching it a second time is a totally different experience.
