Alien Covenant is not a good movie and we should stop watching new Alien films because it is so bad.

I laughed hysterically at this:

In response to the request: Can someone please explain David's motivations during Prometheus and then Covenant??

"He hates daddy because he made him to pour tea. So he decides he is better. He then decides he can create better life. But instead of creating intelligent life, he steals existing tech and does not create anything. And instead of being a great being, he comes up with a semi intelligent parasite species. He does not create anything and what he comes up with is not half as capable as the engineers creation (humans) or human creation (david himself). It is totally idiotic and makes anyone with half a brain say "what the ****fuck? This makes no sense?" Covenant further confuses the David storyline with the opening. So David had these superior thoughts from the moment he "woke up". But he does not do anything about them for 50 years until he happens to find black goo. Now all of a sudden he becomes a mass murderer. It is pretty *******fucking stupid. David is really smart write, so why does he not understand he is not creating anything? We know the black goo turns even worms into alien like killing machines. Sooooo him mixing black goo, which happens to do anything the script seems fit for it to do at the time, is not creation. Fires burns, so if I take fire and start using it to burn things, the end result is not a creation, it is just what fire does to things. The fact that this is lost on David totally ruins the entire driving force of Pro and Cov. They suck, and the Daddy issue android thing sucks."

Broadly agree with most of what ya'll have said. I see we're all on the right side of history on this question.

I thought prometheus was confusing but intriguing and it had some cool scenes. But covenant took everything that was interesting about prometheus and just threw it in a dumpster fire and gave us the most generic and predictable plot possible.

Let's talk about victim shaming.

Re writing my original comment cus im getting a lot of feels

I'm sorry to hear about your horrifying experience. The cultural climate can be tough on victims of sexual violence right now.

That said, I think that the president had no place to say anything about it but the facts. The mocking tone he used to describe her testimony was inappropriate and really unnecessary.

The issue the op is dealing with isn't whether or not cavanaugh did it. No one posting in this forum has any secret knowlege of that.

Neither does Donald Trump.

Not knowing the truth of the situation, would it have been right to block cav's appointment? Maybe, maybe not. I dont think i feel comfortable about it, but fair enough if you have the opposite view. The point is, Trump isn't making fun of the falseness of the accusation because he doesn't really know one way or the other. He's making fun of Ford for the act of accusing. Thats why trump is wrong.

Fine if we want to give a respected judge the benefit of the doubt. But even if it comes out tomorrow that dr. Ford's accussations are completely false, the president has no reason belittle her in a public forum. Leave that bs for the sean hannity's of the world. He's the goddamn President.

When Trump says this stuff he's not crapping on sexual assault victims, though they're the ones immeadiately hurt. He's crapping on every single one of us and yes we should all be embarassed. He's got a big damn mouth he needs to stuff it at least one time for each time he lets it do whatever it wants.

Furthermore making fun of accusers does nothing to help the falsely accused. It does not validate them. Only evidence and truth can do that. And the falsely accused dont find making fun of their accusers funny either. If you laugh at that you're taking pleasure in cruelty. Which is fine, we all find jokes in bad taste funny sometimes. But trump isnt a stand up comedian and he's making light of something he should take deathly serious.

Incorrect, (and trust me on this), it no longer matters the age of a person. There are players at every age level.

Tip: Don't have ***sex with a guy too early. Don't be afraid to wait ten dates. If he likes you for you, he can wait.

I personally would suggest waiting until after marriage. Why? Because, it's a big deal. If you're willing to give it out, there will never be a reason to remain loyal to you.

There are players at every level but if a guy has never been married at 40 and is looki g to smash on the first date thats kind of a red flag for the woman who's trying to settle down while if its a 20 year old maybe you can overlook those hormone infused decisions. Also most twenty year olds are just not ready to settle down as a rule.

I don't know how old you are, but if you're in your early twenties, and you're dating guys you're own age, it's going to be tough to find a guy who wants a serious relationship. And the other problem is...they'll all pretend like that's what they're looking for. They're not. They want to enjoy being single.

Ever notice that cannibals are always painted in a bad light in movies?

Yeah, I was gonna say Hannibal.

Cannibalism usually implies murder though. Both incest and cannibalism also carry connotations of "unnaturalness" that murder (by itself) often doesn't for some reason.

It's funny, take Jamie Lannister. What's the skivvier part of his character? The fact that he attempted to murder a child on a sociopathic whim, or that he has consensual ***sex with his sister?
