Ridley Scott Is Planning 6 More Alien Movies

Dear Hollywood,
There are plenty of original sci fi stories out there. For example, nearly any story from any edition of The Year's Best Science Fiction Anthology would make a better movie than the utter tripe that will be Alien Covenant. Please try harder.
Thanks,
Moviegoers Everywhere.

Apparently there's a mighty Nor-Easter headed our way on Chewsday. So everyone living in the northeast may have to batten down the hatches for this one. They've already issued warnings for Ontario and New York state.
What? In March? That's practically summer!
Haha I actually once had to shovel a good 10cm snow a day after Easter... since then I scoff at weather analysts telling me how "hot" May or April weather will be.
As long as it's the last one of the season. Crickey, Spring starts next week.

Prometheus was shite, and a wasted opportunity, especially given the talent of the actors involved. Jesus fucking Christ that script was God-awful.
i'll never forget that dude running from the giant spaceship rolling like a wheel, and hes running in a straight line away from it, directly along its path... rather than just taking a hard turn right or left and actually running away from the fucking thing.. just so dumb

James Cameron: I am working on FOUR Avatar sequels!
Ridley Scott: I see your four sequels and raise you SIX Alien sequels.
In a month...
James Cameron: I see your six Alien sequels and raise you EIGHT Titanic sequels!
Ridley Scott: Wait.. WHAT?! Titanic SEQUELS?! Okay, okay, I see your eight sequels and raise you TEN Blade Runner sequels!
How old are these guys?!
Disney is working on 6 Star Wars films and about 3-6 sequels for most of the Pixar films.

6 more? Scott has gone full Cameron. And he won't even live long enough to make six.
Also I'd trade six shitty Aliens movies for one good one.
but would you trade 6 movies for total healthcare coverage? 10 of 10 seniors disagree lol

Daylight Savings time is near.
This post sums up my feelings about 6 more AliensFirst of all, Ridley Scott is 79 years old, so he won't be around for 6 more Alien movies. Second, Prometheus was the only interesting thing from this franchise since the closing credits of Aliens and it's been abandoned to return to the same old tired "alien kills crew" we've seen dozens of times in movies, tv, and video games. It isn't scary anymore, the alien isn't scary anymore, and what are you going to do for the next 6 movies? Where else can you take the story? Scott is really overestimating the value of this franchise.

Six more Alien movies? Nothing more than public masturbation...
Hey if Xenomorphs are your thing that's none of my business but cinemas are not the place to jack off. Wait until it's out on VHS or whatever.
