Project Insomnia

Project Insomnia is many things, but in this context it is simply a "braindump" of whatever I happen to be thinking/reading/watching/doing at the moment. Parental guidance suggested.

November Spawned A Monster

After waiting to see if any kids would come to our door for candy (none did... not one) we went to see the new Director's Cut of Alien. Neither of us had seen this on the big screen before (how sad!) and we both remarked on leaving how much more effective Ridley Scott's direction is as compared to more recent horror/sci-fi films, where the action and staging are so predictable and formulaic. The new edition includes a couple of scenes cut from the original release, which don't really make a big difference in the story but are interesting to see.
Before the movie was a teaser trailer for Alien Vs. Predator, which amusingly enough is abbreviated (in the trailer) as AVP. I had no idea until tonight that this was finally in production after years of rumors. The IMDb message boards are fairly down on it but I will definitely be waiting to see it when it hits theaters in August '04.
