    Alien and Predator Ranked

    Just going straight in on my main bone of contention which is that I'm assuming this is the ‘fixed’ Ian Holm that Fede Alvarez said they got so wrong in the theatrical release. It's just that his character still looks somewhat uncanny. I'm not talking ‘Superman’s shaved moustache’ uncanny, but he's still pretty odd looking. Yeah….I didn't like that part.

    Otherwise I had a good time. It's hyper-kinetic. We're long past the point of subtlety with…

He truly was unique,…

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 16 Jan 2025 2

    Blue Velvet was a slow burner for me. I didn't get it The first couple of times that I saw it. I don't remember exactly when it clicked. Maybe I began to see it as something of a horror movie. Lynch often occupied a zone rather close to horror. It permeates through his work both subtly and overtly. He was (I can't believe I'm using past tense!) one of the masters of making absolutely terrifying movies that were pretty much…
