I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    I JUST rewatched Gone in Sixty Seconds on a whim, on like Thursday, and spotted that it apparently has a 38% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck that noise, that movie is a materpiece of filmography.

      Agreed! I love to hate gone in sixty seconds, I feel the same way about the need for speed movie as well. If you haven’t seen it I recommend watching the NFS movie.

      Tomato-meter has it currently as 26%

      I think it was just too much Race, Chase, Heist Fatigue. When it came out, everyone watched it and had a good time. They got lulled in by the 27 F&F movies. But it’s not the same thing.

            Uhhhh, I dunno, I suppose that’s possible. Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t around in 2000, was it? Would they have aggregated from, like, newspaper reviews at the time?

              That’s a damn good question let me look it up

              From their FAQ:

              Rotten Tomatoes has a team of curators whose job is to gather thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team constantly collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications generating Tomatometer scores. Our curation process considers these reviews, noting if they are Fresh or Rotten, and our curators choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
