    I think it a more terrifying movie if we got signs of life. And we kept thinking they were vicious killers

    Then we get to the other planet and they are just single celled organisms

    The twist is we are alone in the universe. O0o0o0o0o scary. M Knight Shyamalan directs

    The Alien trilogy was pretty damn great.

    I really like how they used actual art instead of throwing money at people to do it as CGI.

    So CGI can't be art..?

    No it certainly can...

    Just not when it's an obvious sell out.

    Like the new christmas carol movie.
    You've given up this argument, but I'm going to post Zemeckis' answers anyway
    You see, I think that one of the great things that we can do in the digital cinema is we can represent the classics in a way that is more accessible to a modern audience. For example, I consider this to be a graphic novel version of CHRISTMAS CAROL.
    My goal here is to present this art form to tell stories that we never had a way to do before and I use the graphic novel as an example, because animation is a magnificent art form that I’m a big fan of and that I’ve been a fan of my entire life. Live action… We are never going to replace actors, we actually liberate actors. All of the fears that you are hearing about this new art form is the same fear we heard about sound, color, wide screen, and everything. My feeling is we now have this new art form to present stories that shouldn’t be animated and are impossible to make live action.
    ... the point is to do something that you couldn’t do in any other form and you are absolutely right and that’s the fun of it. I’ll tell you the other thing that I think is really the great bonus about having what I call “The virtual cinema” or “The digital cinema” and I’m really excited that The Walt Disney company is so dedicated to digital cinema. When you think about it, it’s amazing how they are behind this. When you think of their commitment to Pixar and their commitment to 3D and their commitment to what I’m doing, it’s huge. It’s gigantic! What I love about it is the cinema is so liberated. Your ability as a filmmaker to do things that are absolutely only restricted by your imagination. You don’t have any physical restrictions on what it is that you have to do. I think if they were alive today, guys like Hitchcock and Kubrick, they would love this art form. They would love to be able to work with this art form and that’s why, by the way, the guys who are on the train are Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, you know Jim, this isn’t happening by accident.

    You know what would be interesting?

    A movie where the main characters are an extra terrestrial race of humanoid, not completely non violent aliens in like an earlier technological era than we are in right now.

    And then there is an invasion.

    But long story short the invaders are humans.

    See Humans are the most terrifying monsters of all.

    I think that the christmas carol movie looks awful not because it's CGI or 3D or anything like that but because the only footage i've seen for it was the trailer in front of wild things

    which was basically a couple super zoomy tracking shots that are obviously intended to be 'wow' shots to show off the CGI, and jim carrey says 'bah humbug' as a slapstick physical comedy punchline approximately 300 times

    the 'wow shot' thing is easily forgivable since it's a trailer, but i just have this horrible feeling the movie is going to have a bunch of SCROOGE GETS HIT ON THE HEAD WITH SOMETHING AND SAYS BAH HUMBUG IN A SILLY VOICE! moments that make me cringe

    also i'm surprised no one's mentioned guillermo del toro's frankenstein adaptation yet

    It depends. If he's just a hairy dude that people call Wolf Man, then no.

    If he's actually part wolf, then there are three options: Wolf dick, man dick or a combo dick.

    Wolf dick is probably actually the best option, because it stays inside them when not in use so it's not all flopping around when they're fighting shit.

    Actually scratch that. Female werewolf is the best, because there is zero chance of any kind of dick.
