WONDER WOMAN - INTERNATIONAL TRAILER #1 (RUSSIAN)

(I forgot to post this last week)

DID CBR'S IQ JUST DROP SHARPLY?

Comic Book Resources recently posted an article entitled "17 Horror Villains Who Were Totally in the Right". Number 6 was "Xenomorphs" (Aliens) from the 'ALIEN' Saga.

This is what they write:

In the first “Alien” film, it’s debatable whether or not the Xenomorph was in the right. On the one hand, it didn’t ask to be born on a mining ship full of people. On the other, the crew of the Nostromo didn’t intend to bring it aboard in the first place. (Whether Weyland-Yutani did is another matter entirely.)

In the sequel, however, the Xenomorphs are the ones being invaded. Weyland-Yutani set up a terraforming colony on their home planet. They did what any sensible species would in this situation: they attacked the alien threat. Yes, they also used the alien threat as egg incubators, but that’s just their biology. Then another group of invaders arrives; this one carrying flame-throwers and machine guns. If the roles were reversed and the movie was about an alien species trying to terra-form earth, humans would certainly be the heroes, no? The Xenomorphs, despite their grotesque appearance and parasitic reproductive cycle, are clearly the victims here.

"On their home planet"???

Did CBR even watch the movie? :P

Insurance Man: "Are there any species like this hostile organism on LV-426?"

ECA Rep: "No. It's a rock. No indigenous life."

Ripley: "Did IQ's just drop sharply while I was away? Ma'am, I already said that it was not indigenous. It was a derelict space craft. It was an alien ship. It was NOT from there. Do you get it?"

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD - BLACK & WHITE "CHROME EDITION" NOW AVAILABLE

via littlewhitelies:

The ‘Black & Chrome’ edition, which he recently described as “the best version” of the movie, is now available to stream via Amazon.

Speaking to Indiewire back in September, the visionary Australian writer/director revealed that he’s wanted to put out a monochrome Mad Max as far back as 1981’s Road Warrior, the second film in the franchise, stating: “[There’s] something about black-and-white, the way it distills it, makes it a little bit more abstract. Something about losing some of the information of colour make it somehow more iconic.” Judging by the gorgeous trailer embedded below, we’re inclined to agree.

A CRY FOR HELP

I have recently discovered that I am going through something difficult on an emotional and psychological level. I made this realization when I purchased this ridiculous, dumb figure. It may have saved me before I even knew there was a problem. Thankfully I have a great family and circle of friends who provide the support I need.

Also, the Alien does not give off a Thermal Signature, therefore this is improperly named. "Predator Mask Vision" would have been more accurate and acceptable.
