And Where Did The Violation Cobra Fit Into Their Plans?
Dad finally worked up the nerve to watch Prometheus. That movie gets more absurd every time I watch it.
Dad, however, was determined to Figure It Out. I told him my theory about the Engineers,* which is moot because I'm still not convinced that this was, in fact, an Alien movie. Dad decided that the other movies make a lot more sense when you realize that the xenomorphs are engineered bioweapons. We further figured that they had all SORTS of fun things going on in those goo-canisters, although for the life of us we can't figure out what the point of the glop that makes one guy disintegrate into mold while the girlfriend he had sex with C-sections out a squiddy little Just Plain Hugger would be.
The upshot, though, is that now he wants to watch the other Alien movies, so we caught Aliens last night. And possible Prometheus subtexts aside, watching Forklift Ripley vs. Alien Queen is always time well-spent.
*Namely, that not all of them see eye-to-eye. See, the guy at the beginning "seeded" our planet or whatever with human DNA in direct defiance of his buddies, who were not so keen on having another intelligent race who might challenge them. You know. LIKE PROMETHEUS DID. So he was all for creating humanity, and they ... were less interested and decided to wipe us out. I have no idea why it took them so long to get their shit together. Physics?
