Reminds me of those LED screens on bus shelters in the hottest part of summer. You can hear the fans inside screaming away trying to keep everything cool.
I loved original The Sims and lost a lot of time to it. However, I was frustrated that I couldn't match the time like in real life.
Did anyone manage to get people to work before 10am!? The Sims took ages to get ready! 😂
I presume it's the fact they're all just made on a production line like the way all T800,Cyberdyne systems model 101 terminators all look like Arnold.
The fact it looks like Ash means fans are already suspicious of it's intentions, caring more for the preservation of the xenomorph rather than human life. It's also a blatant nostalgic throwback for fans of the original.
Personally, I didn't like the fact it links back to Prometheus. The whole film has too many Easter eggs which was too distracting.
I've played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I'm my opinion, it's a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.

The company Kino Lorber previously announced that they will be releasing John Candy's 80s comedy, Summer Rental, on 4K Blu-ray in January. The boutique label has now announced that the following month another beloved John Candy movie will be having a new physical video remastering. Blu-ray.com has revealed that Uncle Buck will get its own Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray release on February 18. This film was a much bigger hit for Candy and is seen as one of his best movies. This is also the film that would give Hughes the idea to write Home Alone with Macaulay Culkin in mind.
The movie stars John Candy, Amy Madigan, Jean Louisa Kelly, Gaby Hoffmann and Macaulay Culkin. The Description reads, "When Cindy (Elaine Bromka) and her husband, Bob (Garrett M. Brown), have to leave town for a family emergency, there is only one person available to babysit for their three kids: Bob's lazy, carefree brother, Buck (John Candy). While he immediately gets along with the two younger children (Gaby Hoffman, Macaulay Culkin), Buck must change his bachelor lifestyle if he wants to be a responsible caregiver for the angst-filled teenager, Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly)."

Yeah. The opening minute had me hooked. Once they started showing that he was going on a mission, I turned off. Stop giving me an abridged version of the film!
Remember Ed Miliband? He was a terrible politician because someone took a photo of him at the precise second his face looked funny while eating a sandwich.
But yeah, Mordants the next leader because she dressed nice and carried a sword once.. FFS.
Here's a couple I posted a while back.
It's been a long time since I watched the theatrical cut of Dark City but IIRC, there's a narration by Keither Sutherland that explains a lot of the premise.
I think it's better in the director's cut which removes this and you discover the story as you watch the film.
But I've fallen for Thunder! Dare I try another?
The only one that I remember is,
How can you tell when an Essex girl has had an orgasm?
She drops her packet of crisps.
Seems a bit rubbish now I've typed that out. 😆
I'm not surprised. There was a tweet from Ed Soloman, one of the writers on Men In Black, some time ago now, showing his yearly statement of residuals on that film.
Despite making almost $600m on a $90m budget and spawning a franchise, he was informed by the statement that the film was a loss for Sony and the studio is still in the red.
Because it's not a remake. Also, Tron: Legacy was a sequel to the original Tron.
