Alien 3

I have never seen it before strangely. It was alright. The alien looked dreadful in some scenes though lol.

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

I'll admit I don't watch B&W movies, but I do enjoy this film. It's super campy, and it's a great thriller.

Its one of the slowest moving films in the franchise, but the acting is superb and nail biting. You can cut the atmosphere with a knife as it builds up to a finale, Ripley has a real hard time in this film. well come to think of it, I suppose she has a hard time in all of them LOL.

This is what I liked about the all the alien films, each one was entirely different to the next.

Would recommend the 'aliens V predators' films as well.

I liked Alien 3, but I really hated how they fridged Newt and Hicks.

Fully agree with you on this. Alien 3 also had a score that I found to be good. Better than it has any right to be. If I'm using the right phrase.

3 Body Problem - Netflix

By the same showrunners that did Game of Thrones (Benioff + Weiss).

I thought overall they did an excellent job. They adapted a pretty hard sci fi book set completely in China into a reasonably easy to understand sci fi series split between the west and China.

I've seen some grumblings about the invented characters and so on, but personally I think they did the storyline justice whilst making it understandable and entertaining for TV. It works well.

I'd recommend it to anyone who likes genuinely intriguing sci fi done well.

9/10 for me. I definitely hope they do a season 2 and 3.

If you put your conspiracy hat on, ever since the books came out in China, many in the West has wondered if the Chinese Communist Party had deliberately put the books out to subtly inform the Chinese people of the coming of aliens to this world soon, which is the subject of the books.

The reason being is that all best seller Chinese books must be approved before publishing, so the Communist party did want the books out. Hmmm! makes you wonder
