And STEED was talking about good sequels, which ALIENS was, no matter if
you like the genre or not. :yep:

But you are missing my point; that not all art is equal. Comparing Kubrick with Cameron is like comparing Crime and Punishment with as issue of Uncanny X-Men. Both have words on paper, but their intrinsic value is not the same. In this thread the topic is the befoulment of something that was directed by a master of cinema. James Cameron does not fit that bill.

Oh, I agree with you. :yep:

Just pointed out that (atleast to me) STEED was talking about sequels in general. :salute:

It is a marketing ploy to catapult off the success of the previous.

Not passing premature judgement, just saying I see throught the ploy.

Good thing I wait for netflix or Redbox, movie tickets are bordering on extortion.

(especially with the internet, and some of things a driven man could find if he looked, if you catch my drift. Theatres should really be nicer.)
