I'm a little angry at Hollywood.

They screwed us out of Alien 5, and next summer we can expect to be dummified once more by producers raping creativity in treating movies like marketing campaigns, "Just do what worked last time -- an action scene every ten minutes!" -- with the NOW FILMING Aliens Vs. Predator.

AFTER THIS WAS ANNOUNCED, however, the following interview emerged (the original was so shittily edited that I re-tweaked the grammar myself):

http://www.homepage.mac.com/citizensane/true_interview.rtf

But yet, NOTHING CAME.

So I took it upon myself to come up with two viable options.  Two?  Yeah, that way the audience, the people who want a sequel, have a choice -- before production -- as to which one is made.  Democracy, right.

The first contains a very sloppy notes section, and I slapped a lot of gooey names (people who had previously been involved in the Alien series) to the front -- this one was made largely as a hoax.

The second was given "slightly" more care . . . as it attempted to emulate James Howard Cameron.  (Howard?  Get it?  J.C. = Jesus Christ . . .)

And if any of you have not yet checked out my profile's "My Photo" . . . I recommend you do so.

Hollywood movies are getting crappier. It's mostly [name-of-blockbuster-movie] part 2 or 3, which aren't any good.

Well, except for movies that where already made, but released now, like Terminator 3 and Lord Of The Rings 3...

The absolutely worst parts 2, 3 (and so on) of all times are:

Psycho 2, 3
Jaws (how many are there?)
Friday the 13th (never liked the series at all)

The best parts 2, 3 (and so on) are:

Die Hard - Die harder
Die Hard with a vengeance
Star Trek and Star Wars
Lord of the rings (Peter J. better be good with part 3 or else!)
Lethal Weapon 2, 3, 4

I remember a year ago I said, "Wow, there sure are some great movies coming out soon," but they all turned out crappy except for LOTR 2. I never saw T3, but I have heard people say it wasn't good. What a let down.

T3 isn't so bad. It's not James Cameron's original story, but it's also not a debauchery.

It's really much funnier when you realize what's happening:

T-X is actually a last-ditch effort by Skynet after he is defeated. He must have transferred himself into her CPU, which explains the lack of personality, and he went back in time to take over the real Skynet, in2003, which, as I understand it, would never have acheived sentience. Sky injects himself into it and takes over.

The flick is mainly TX being incompetent at chasing people because the whole time, Arnold is on her tail, always trumping her or shooting her with a giant bazooka or something.

At one point, she flies a helicopter into a building, gets out, and Arnold flies a bigger chopper in and hits her. TRUMPED.

It's pretty good for an action flick, if you ignore the fact that Skynet's existance in the future is a temporal paradox.
