Alien: Romulus Trailer Brings Horror Back To The Franchise - The John Campea Show

[@Charlie_lives]

I wish every show would start with a two minute segment of just what you guys are watching or what you recommend watching

[@alexp601]

Or a weekly segment of that would be good

[@ardentdfender4116]

I do agree. It’s often how I discover a gem of a new show just by someone talking about it. Then I realize I’ve not heard about that show and go check it out. So I agree.

[@stevangonzalez5908]

That's actually a good idea. I regularly listen to a Playstation podcast and one of their main segments is "what we're playing" it's a nice palette cleanser and offers up new discoveries or quick discussions about what's currently out. Or even if they're watching an older show or movie I think it still offers up a good discussion regardless

[@FightFast]

I love this idea

[@simonkammeyer4334]

Paxton was so great in aliens. RiP to the GOAT.

[@edhollett7039]

Prey .....was AWESOME👍

[@Rock-n-Rolla369]

The new “Alien” trailer looks fantastic. You can tell they are taking great efforts to develop the right atmosphere and color/lighting.

[@Pkemen1]

I had a feeling this movie was in good hands from the start. As long as Disney were willing to let Fede Alvarez do it his way with no restrictions. He is an excellent director and knows how to produce horror movies at an exceptional level. I'm glad to see it looks like Disney didn't make him hold back.

[@untamed6352]

Ain't gonna lie I was doubtful when Jonathan first appeared on the show. Now he's one of my favorite guys on the show.

[@alexp601]

Heh it's like meeting someone for the first time. It's different once you get to know them

[@untamed6352]

@@alexp601 He looks like he’s drunk all the time tho.

[@macguffin3211]

Despite the price increases, I'm still paying less than I was for cable. But it is getting close.

[@richtributionprime4471]

I really enjoyed all the alien films, alien an aliens are my favourites. Alien Romulus looks fantastic and looks a winner, who knows could end up being my 3rd favourite alien film, I did a reaction to the trailer which was worth it.

[@TonyP_Yes-its-Me]

The Valjean/Javert story line was basically the basis for the old Hulk and Fugitive TV series'. The flawed hero being forever pursued by the relentless seeker of justice. Forever moving on, no peace for either.

[@benjaminwitham8142]

That new alien Romulus trailer was awesome

[@Luis-jn7qu]

I am actually starting to go to my local library and get movies and video games for entertainment.

[@LazyEyeNZ]

Awesome! Yeah I rent dvds from my library often.

[@farakhhanif]

I have been doing this since I was a kid.

[@janb92]

I’m gonna need for yall to have more faith in my boy Fede. I recently rewatched the Evil Dead remake and I’ ve seen Don’t Breath……both EXCELLENT movies

[@simonkammeyer4334]

I absolutely love the Campea squad. But it continues to blow my mind when I hear that some of you haven't seen Aliens, fury road, sherlock holmes, and many more??? Like how?

[@paulhitchcock2543]

Most streamer commercial breaks are determined by an algorithm based on several factors, and best place to cut to a commercial is not one of them. That’s why, even with shows that are available to stream that were designed to have commercial breaks, don’t have their current ad breaks at those pre planned breaks.

[@CinematicTendency]

Alien: Romulus -- It’s been on my radar since it was announced. Two or three days ago, they released the red poster. Gonna have to buy it in 11x17 inches and frame it 🔥

[@StonerWatchproductions]

😂😂😂😂i saw a video thumbnail the other day Titled "4 hrs of John Campea rants" now when John starts go off on a rant i start laughing

[@alexp601]

Yeah some people really enjoying making fun of Campea. It's a bit weird

[@StonerWatchproductions]

@@alexp601 it is, I didn't watch the video, cuz I'm pretty sure I've seen or heard all the rants already 😂

[@gv6311]

The first shot shown for The Acolyte with the green alien felt oddly enough more like Star Trek…gonna try and temper my expectations but be prepared to be surprised.

[@robertbowen6469]

In the cost of streaming, you forgot to mention the cable (internet) cartels. On top of what I pay for streaming, add $70 a month to the cartel.

[@wratched]

Not a Star Wars fan, so not invested in The Acolyte. Just happy Dafne Keen is in it and for God's sake Marvel where's the X-23 movie?

[@bajansamurai]

I'd get behind a movie where the same "Logan" universe X-23 (reprised by Keen) pays it forward by liberating the MCU's Logan from the clutches of Weapon X. How she gets there can either be because of a sentimental move by Deadpool, or reveal that she works with the "Days of Furure Past" Magneto for the same Illuminati that Wanda offed since their worlds were saved from Incursions (or ended).

[@gary094]

I am a fan of Fanning sisters.

[@chrispascuzzi5536]

Rey...you really have to watch a lot of movies dude!

[@darylthompson176]

As just a Star wars fan revenge of the sith is top 3 in the franchise, just my opinion. keep it filthy

[@Francescojg]

Not sure if it’s ignorance or arrogance, but Chef Rigo wanting a “normal” version of a foreign film because he doesn’t speak “Mexican” is utterly insane!

[@40yearoldman]

RDJ has been talking to Patrick Stewart. Once you have all the accolades, why not keep a character or 2 people are always excited to see?

[@shixter]

I only have 3 regular streamers (Canada) - Disney, Netflix, Prime. Churn on Apple and Max.

[@xsanguine8]

So, Canada gave the world pineapple on pizza, and for their hubris they were cursed to never win a Stanley Cup while playing for their own country?

[@garfieldGG]

When it comes to ads. Hulus are the worst. I got Hulu ad version just to binge shogun, and that ad supported experience was HORRIBLE

[@JAYWALKER1000]

Just the other day reactors were watching TNG and there was close up of Troi's feet while the guest star was massading them - they said, in near unison, "Who directed this? Tarantino?" Won't be surprised if film #10 is all about foot massages and peodicures.

[@checkthisout7414]

I have figured out having to NOT churn- I make my 3 girls pay for one service each - like the streamers -I can find a way! lol

[@shixter]

Alien: Romulus trailer is a Banger!!! The sound effect of the Tracker? Total Throwback!! It scared me the same as Aliens. Even though NOT a horror movie person - Will have to go to theatre to get sh!t scared for this one!!

[@mattbellgottaring2it961]

Alien Romulus. My God what a great trailer. Yes yes and yes. Lady's and gentlemen my most anticipated is now 1maxxxine 2 Deadpool and wolverine 3alien Romulus 4 long legs

[@macalcord]

I dropped Max and Disney Plus..Not getting my money's worth lately..Also Alien Romulus..First time in a long time I thought an Aliens movie was scary.

[@GreysDen]

I have no interest in the Star Wars property, the Force Awakens was the only movie I loved, didn't care for the two following or even the originals or the prequels. I did love the Mandalorian for the first couple of seasons. So I'm not really dying to watch the Acolyte but I loved the lead actress in Bodies! Bodies! Bodies!, I might tune in to see her for an episode or two and see if the show keeps my interest. On the topic of RDJ coming back to Iron-Man, I'm torn. Tony and Steve were the two characters I cared the most about but I also was the consequences of Endgame to stay permanent.

[@Itsmrluis]

“Normal version” how ignorant lol

[@frankmiller721]

John calling out the US but neglected to mention it's own VERY similar issue with racism and treatment of indigenous people.

[@alexp601]

He was just making a joke about pineapple on pizza. It's as simple as that.

[@Magdalena8008s]

I saw the first two. And absolutely loved it. From what I understand by those who saw the first 4 that the 3 and 4 are super good. The character building is spectacular. The locations. Action. Only bad thing. There is some slow parts. But I liked them as well because we got alot of character building. It does have a few scenes that look cheaper. Dont disagree on that. But its not bad by any means.

[@ardentdfender4116]

My plan this year is to wait till House of the Dragon season 2 is almost over to subscribe to MAX and watch it all in one month then unsubscribe. Everyone of these streaming service is absolutely raising prices every year and it’s just not sustainable to lots of viewers. It’s all getting very expensive.

[@alexp601]

You'll just have to avoid spoilers for a few weeks, plus you won't be able to be part of the discussion while each episode comes out. For me, I'd much rather watch episodes every week.

[@sprocket-YT]

Romulus looks like if Netflix made a new Alien movie it Just looks too clean! Yes it's taken elements of the original films but it just looks meh

[@alexp601]

I think the 'cleanness' of it might just be the high quality of the cameras and the general quality of modern films. It doesn't have the dirt and grit of the original, but that was back in the 70s. So it's going to look 'modern' even if it tries to mimic the feel of the original films.

[@sprocket-YT]

@@alexp601​​⁠also even the cast look too clean cut it’s that Netflix or streaming feel nothing looks weathered or aged yes digital is probably also part of the problem. Hopefully it’s still enjoyable but I’ve got reservations

[@bajansamurai]

It may be just a misinterpretation of the question about financial incentives to play ads (thinking he meant just trailers), but I'd imagine they are like TV ad contracts where they make money by promising companies their ads will play before largest possible audiences. If theaters can claim X number of people are seeing a cola ad, or tax prep ad, then they continue to get paid to run those companies' ads. That may even be a premium price to play in front block busters and in the ideal highest occupancy hours of the day. If there's no big enough financial benefit to running the ads, they'd have to be the biggest idiots in existance to not realize 30+ minutes of ads are a turn off to moviegoers. The ideal setup would be: Showtime is 7, with 3 trailers before the feature begins, but theater is cleaned and seating is allowed at least 20 minutes before the stated showtime for anyone who likes early entry (or got through concessions early) so ads and featurettes are running while they wait. I know the problem is that it's less likely to have as many people opt into being so early in to see ads, but it's a bit more honest and respectful to the ticket buyer, and some may.
