One of the things that I don't understand about the Alien movies from 3 onwards is why the company goes to such effort to find Xenomorph samples when there has always been a giant crashed ship full of alien eggs still sitting there on the planet. They've known about it since the 1st Alien and it wasn't destroyed when the colony exploded in Aliens so it's still there with thousands of eggs for anyone who wants to go get them.

[@banhammer3904]

It would make sense that they would want to keep the Engineer ship a secret. If they sent another crew out there to unwittingly become impregnated (the plot of Alien), someone else might find out about it and capture the bioweapon for themselves. They don't want another Ripley trying to blow the whistle.

@@banhammer3904 And well in the novels other companies do learn of Xenomorphs and start doing snatch and run jobs with their special operations teams. Never big teams, always expendable and if they succeed they get an egg and have a place they can sneak back to when they want more. But once you got one, as long as it becomes a Queen you don't need to go egg hunting around the Galaxy after that.

[@MrSeanmcgall]

In isolation the game, it's discovered that the nostromo flight recorder got corrupted, thus in canon, that was the last way to figure out what happened to the nostromo or where they went. Lv-4221 or so? It's data that's never been recovered, until aliens, when Ripley got found, so yes from then on, there is no excuse.

That's because, as Ragz I believe put it, Romulus was a surprise movie, not a horror.

They wanted Alien and Aliens with a smidge of all the others in their film. Bad idea, really, since it's difficult enough to make a film but then to add more genres to the product calls for way more talent than these people have. Both the first and second are different styles of movies, a horror, and an action. Melding just the two of them together is very tough, but then to do it with an addition of other films that came later, with the problem of being in said "franchise" is absolutely the thing that they couldn't do.

There were NO jobs, and I went from being a Senior IT Project Manager to unemployed with ZERO hope of getting a job, because companies all put their projects on hold or cancelled them, and everyone was in the same boat.

Pretty crappy time. It’s a shame that a majority of people still don’t know it all started with the good intentions of government who decided the reason some demographics of people don’t own homes is because banks won’t give loans. People still blame “the banks” and not the people that pushed the behavior. Now we have another economically inept presidential candidate saying the reason prices have been out of control is because companies are ALL “price gouging,” and this candidate will “fix” the problem through price mandates. If you think 2008-2009 was bad, wait until you see what happens when government’s answer to the inflation they created is price controls. A policy with well documented consequences. Terrifying consequences on the scale of the entire US economy where inflation is out of control. It’s like trying to fix a windshield crack by pounding it with a sledgehammer. I think to be allowed to vote, you need to at least understand the differences between a price-coordinated economy and a centrally-planned economy. Buckle up. We might be in for another ride.

@43:40 They're using a cloud storage solution to serve up video, like every streaming service. Costs on the cloud are broken down by compute, movement and storage. Compute is a minimal, or at least so spread out amongst all videos that one show won't make any difference, so the real costs are movement and storage. Storage is cheap. Not as cheap as on your own computer maybe, but still really, really cheap. Movement is the big ticket item in streaming, but for a corporation even that is actually pretty minimal. You could be moving terabytes per day every day and still only rack up charges of maybe $15k/year. There's some flexibility in the numbers, big customers and those with good negotiators get bigger discounts but still, it's not going to be an enormous cost if your revenue is tied to data movement. And that's the biggest tell that they didn't yank The Acolyte for the direct cost of leaving it on the platform: the biggest cost of that would only be incurred if the videos were very popular, which would mean they would be making money on it, or at least as much money as they make on anything in the complex accounting of streaming platforms.

The whole movie I was waiting for "the company" to turn up with scientist's and soldiers? How did they not also "detect" the big floating ship approaching the planet too! nope turns out they didn't know about it somehow even tho it was their own ship?

[@moisttissue6160]

I feel for theory whenever they discuss anything other than star wars

[@krl97a]

Logan - first to get Wolverine violence right, but the plot was terrible.

[@Vajrubaj]

I love it as always,but i am missing a female element,its so nice to see and heard from grl "nerds" on our side.

[@Joseph_Hornreich]

Does anyone know how I can watch these shows live

[@WayStedYou]

on the main channel when they are on

[@theequalizer9154]

KZbin should send you an alert. Just click on the notify you tab.

[@MegaSpideyman]

Just watch Drinker on Thursday at 9 PM UK time.

[@Gojeto346]

The Critical Drinker is the main channel where he goes live (usually) every Thursday around 5 pm EST, subscribe to that and have notifications on and you’ll get notified when he goes live! Then all of the Open Bars get re-uploaded onto this channel a few days later!

[@samuel5591]

Oh wow under 2 hours.. cutbacks accross the board now! Short man bad.

[@Gojeto346]

maybe the real bird in the cage were the friends we made along the way

[@NerdsNeverSleep]

Cast Sydney Sweeney as Lara Croft, and have Haley Atwell dub her voice. Beat of both worlds

[@kingvejita8827]

KZbin is really trying to bypass the compre-my addblock

[@kins1894]

1:14:50 - I remember the Event, Doomsday Clock in the comics kinda was a cross over between DC and Watchmen

[@TibiConstantine]

The critical stinker, I am kidding, don't get your knickers in a twist!

[@aejokerDa]

I loved Alien Romulus.

[@kingvejita8827]

LIES !

[@MrSlowestD16]

44:00: To what Nerdrotic is saying. It's not the storage, storage is dirt cheap, it's the CDN and balancing fees - the cost of bandwidth every time it's watched, that's the very very expensive part that keeps most video platforms from rivaling stuff like KZbin, because it's not just 1 server, it has to be mirrored and ready for fast distribution essentially anywhere where it's available, which means many servers. But usually if nobody is watching it, CDN costs for it should be low. But I guess it's also a matter of what it's compared to. 1 GB is 1GB, so if somebody is watching that that's a worse viewing experience for somebody watching a good show that may have many more viewers.

[@harrygibson3432]

Is it just me or does Star Wars theory know absolutely nothing about anything that isn’t Star Wars 😂

[@MegaSpideyman]

It's his big passion.

[@Gojeto346]

He doesn’t even know Star Wars that well, go watch Star Grift and you’ll see he’s actually really dumb and forgetful of things because he’s just started inserting his own canon and viewing the movies how they are in his insane reality. It’s why he’s taken so long to notice how bad it is. He is an actual grifter who just wants to sell his fanfiction and Chinese dropshipped lightsabers

[@truechaos2798]

Alien Romulus is currently at $226,815,007 on a budget of 80 million so it’s now made a profit kinda

[@chindleymuffin]

It's more than made a profit, when most movies spend half their budget on marketing. So in this case it's definitely made a profit, twice over from my basic grasp of maths. I would say that there's definitely going to be a sequel green lit for sure.

[@ultr0shot440]

I actually disagree with drinker for once. I will die on this hill: iron man 1 was amazing. Solid 9/10 for me, especially with how desperate marvel was back then and how much of a gamble it was.
