same here, 4 should newer happened not mentioned this :-?

I kinda liked 4. It was enjoyable in it's own way. Better than 3, anyway.

3 was not perfect but it was great ending for for the whole trilogy, it makes it sad/dark etc. 4 as it self was not bad but completely out of tune when it comes to previous ones, thats why for me it was made for three parts, just great tough/sad jurney of Ellen Ripley.

True, #4 has a very different vibe. The new Alien movies also have a different vibe than the first 2. I hoped for more.

Steve McGerrett made a lot of money doing it. No children and the state of Hawaii runs he's millions estate. I guess he and his wife wanted it that way.

Just finished reading The Fiddle is the Devil's Instrument: And Other Forbidden Knowledge by Brett J. Talley. It's a collection of 13 short stories. I'd recommend it for people who might want to get into Lovecraftian literature, and may find the source material too intimidating. It's an easy, quick read, with a more modern approach but with a very similar Lovecraftian structure to all the stories, which will feel very familiar to those who know the source material. It's well written, like all of Talley's books, and worth checking out.

If your wives or girlfriends try to convince you to watch la la land, don't do it, take arsenic or fake a heart attack so you don't have to watch it.

Do you like Musicals? I really don't enjoy musicals that much but I actually thought Lala Land was bearable to actually enjoying it a little. If someone suggested watching it again I don't think I would be extremely excited, but if you have to pick a movie to watch to appease the wife then you can do far worse than lala land. For example any of the period pieces that have invaded television (Poldark, Downton Abbey, blah blah blah).

If there was a musical based on AC/DC I would like but I'm not a musical guy, I'd prefer a chicky rom com to this.
