AVP:R Response and thoughts about Screamers

leading from

a) I suppose I just have to continue on and redesign my whole experience of AVP:R movie because I'm obviously tuned into the Alien saga on some other level that continues to work on an obsessive creative level, and it's difficult for me to perceive their movie sincerely as anything but a pile of rubbish. I don't think much of their idea of introducing the audience to dinosaur sized aliens that are twice the size of alien queens on the alien home world in AVP:3. I don't like the idea of such an alien home world either in the context that people are often fantasising about anyway, there ought to be another dimension to the whole thing to make it intellectually interesting. Those who like the movie are probably not looking for much in a movie. Sticking to the premise of the predator ship crash landing in an isolated town area, I suppose there are things that one can do, and I think that paying homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre could have been interesting too because the movie had some interesting ideas, but I've been transformed into a typical person who's had **** shoveled down his throat in the movie theatre and still wants to complain about it. It's probably like the rage that people have against Uwe Boll because of the way he's made terrible bargain bin type movies out of good computer games. I find it revolting to see the Brothers Strause's faces on the DVD as they're being interviewed, maybe they should stick to brainless slasher movies.

b )I watched the scifi movie Screamers on DVD the other day, I avoided it  for all these years because I couldn't imagine how such a low budget  film could be inspiring, and not all of Dan O'Bannon's scripts are  interesting to me and well I found that more entertaining than AVP:R,  and I liked the fact that there was a scene with an insect in it that  was disguised as a rock since that seemed almost to be a reference to  O'Bannon's earlier unfilmed script, "They Bite".

AVP scenario thoughts

leading from

a) Oh no, that's done it, I can't bare to think about it but it looks as  if I've started storyboarding the whole thing today, or made a bit of a  leap in that direction. It looks as though the Predators have a captured space jockey found in hibernation, imprisoned by what might be considered as ancient magic spells and have been worming arcane bioweapon technology secrets out of him for some millenias and he's been trying to find a way out break free from his prison (the space jockey lower body area though is going to confuse the hell out of everyone apart from those who've studied Giger's work in detail).  Today's predalien's head started to look like a biomechanic chinese lion. Don't know where else's it's going, probably the predaliens thought they were immune from facehuggers but their protection is obviously starting to fail that's why the body at the beginning of AVP:R went unchecked and predaliens are uncommon, maybe they have to stop themselves from suffering a catastrophe and maybe this is what the Space Jockey has been planning all along for thousands of years. And somewhere amongst the ancient space junk yard are the remains of a small rocket ship with what looks a bit like a Mayan king just to upset all the people who disapprove of Eric Von Daniken's fantasies, and that obviously this will probably provide some irritating AVP producer with a dumb idea for AVP4.

b) The question is whether I will I get as far as putting together a forever unmade AVP3 movie script that everyone will want to know about for prosperity? Until then I will surely never escape from it.

Alien scenario thoughts




The original Alien movie had so many interesting ideas to mull over  and so many things to discover later even up to now and expand on but they're not turning up in later movies in an interesting way. Probably the only way for those ideas to go any further would be for someone to write a script that would be related to the Alien universe in a way like that the original Soldier script was supposed to be a type of companion piece to Blade Runner. Probably if they even came up with a new alien monster , it would seem so out of place for people who expect variations of the same old thing over and over again that the studio bosses probably would be too confused to call it an Alien movie.
