Alien Romulus was not bad.
Enjoyed most of it. The franchise still creeps me out so enjoyed that.

for me the human baby thing was dumb as well as the super fast growth of both the alien and the baby

Yes to the spoiler material.

One of the best scenes in one of my all time favorite movies. Steve Park crushed this.

Hear that sound? That is box office failure.


When will they learn their lesson? Is virtue signaling more important than turning a profit?

I didn't know this...

========================

Though many films have gone through difficult or taxing production periods, The Exorcist had a rather extensive list of tragedies and deaths related to the film's production. Disaster after disaster kept plaguing filming until finally a priest was called upon to exorcise the set.

Perhaps the most bizarre occurrence during The Exorcist's production was the electrical fire that burned down the set. Set ablaze by a pigeon that flew into the light box, the fire occurred during shoots for the infamous exorcism scene. The film was put on hold for six weeks while the set had to be rebuilt. According to director William Friedkin, this is the strangest occurrence that made him question if the film was genuinely cursed.

But the fire was far from the only tragedy to happen during the film's production. Jack MacGowran, who played Burke Dennings in the film, died unexpectedly after contracting influenza. Vasiliki Maliaros, the actress portraying Father Karras' mother, also died before the film's release. What's especially creepy is that both MacGowran's and Maliaros' characters die in The Exorcist.

As if the deaths of MacGowran and Maliaros weren't terrible enough, their deaths weren't the only ones associated with the film. Other actors lost family, including Blair, whose grandfather passed during the film's production. Altogether, nine people related to the production are said to have died during the making of the film.

A ridiculous argument I saw on Facebook this morning is discussing whether Fast Times at Ridgemont High was a Boomer movie or a Gen X movie.
