She wrote the novelisations of Aliens: Labyrinth and The Female War, that's a decent pedigree IMO. This new book is supposedly similar to the fap-worthy Colonial Marines Technical Manual. |

Co-wrote them, with Steve Perry, but yeah, The Female War is easily the best book. PRORDERED! |

Quick lurker post... Audible have a new audio dramatisation of an Alien based novel(la) http://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Sci-Fi-Fant ... B01D0FHRQQ "As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey." ....with Rutger Hauer, so it must be good right ? seems pretty good 1hr in. it appears there may be versions available at your [local library] |

I bought a copy of this book a few months ago when I saw it in Waterstones but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Never really got into audiobooks though, for me they're like video tutorials - unnecessarily annoying, as I can't go at my own pace. |

Still some annoying things, but not terrible. I felt much the same way about it. At the cinema, it all looked great, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would, but watching it a second time, it's not bad at all. Although that Scottish woman's acting still grated |

Maybe. There's plenty of sweet-ass bits, though. The whole thing with the two engineers being cut off and having to spend the night in the structure was superb. |

| Post subject: | Re: Alien and Aliens |
It always seemed to me that they took a great explicitly 'Alien' film and cut and chopped it until they had a confusingly mediocre 'not-Alien, honest' film. There are some really good ideas in there. And Charlize in tight clothes. |

Read the original script, before they buggered about with it. It'll fully restore your disappointment with the film, and add 25% FFS! on top. |

| Post subject: | Re: Alien and Aliens |
Silliness of the characters aside, what makes Prometheus great is the spectacle. Scott is one of those directors who builds sets and tries to direct as much of the action in camera as opposed to green screen and cgi. I've watched Prometheus about three times now, I know it has many shonky moments, but I've always enjoyed it. One of the criticisms of it that never made any sense to me was how Charline Theron dies at the end, as that engineer ship (at least according to Alien and the shot when they first enter it), is at least 100 feet wide if not more (it looks about 10 storeys high in Alien) and she'd need to be pretty fucking quick to get out of it's way. |

Hmm. It's apparently Alien day, if you do American configuration on the date, then it makes sense. I've read that Fox are going to stream the first 15 mins of Alien: Covenant at 6pm on the official website. Alienuniverse.com Don't bother entering any of the competitions as they're US residents only. |
