This looks interesting, was listening to a podcast interviewing Madoff. He sounds like he has no empathy at all
What a scumbag. I'd hope his assets would be seized or frozen so his family can't live off his ill gotten gains either
He's going to die in jail, ond son died of cancer after he was jailed and the other hung himself .

He reckoned a couple of his biggest clients knew what he was doing and pulled out billions, one died of a heart attack when he was told he had to pay it back .

Aliens is the only decent film in the Alien franchise... Prometheus was incredibly shite. New one looks no better.
Alien Is the Only Film Franchise That Doesn't Suck
Ahead of the release of 'Alien: Covenant,' we trace the deranged and distinctive history of the series.
Christ Baron, thank God the rest of the world has a different opinion.

Yep. Your post made it sound like fact not just some blokes opinion. I'm going to the new one ( free tickets to an advanced screening, how good is that ? ) despite you saying it won't be any good. be sure to check in around this time tomorrow for an in depth review.

certainSorry... Do I need to put 'in my opinion' in front of ever post just for you? Thought that would have been uneccesary in a film review thread about what people thought of movies.. but I guess not.
But it is a fact that I think all the films in the Alien franchise are rubbish except Aliens, which was great.But I wont talk about it much becuase there is nothing more douche bag than some twat rabbiting on about how he doesnt like a certain movie franchise or genre repeatedly... aye MN5....

@MN5 did you ever read about Vincent Wards original idea for the third movie?
Wooden World: Vincent Ward’s Alien III
After three years, three different screenwriters and an assortment of drafts and directors, Alien III finally began to take some crude sort of shape. Plot and design elements were beginning to take…

Aw would you ? That'd be great
( Say that in Hudson voice when he's talking to the Sarge who sarcastically offered to fetch his slippers, but I don't need to remind you of the comic value cos you like that one apparently )

As the article I shared states I reckon part of its awesomeness is the differences between each one....that idea woulda been cool.

Yeah, Ward is an interesting choice damn shame it never happened. The third one that was made wasn't too bad it just pales in comparison to the first two.

That scene in four where that fucked up alien human hybrid thing with Michael Jacksons nose was fucking horrifying the first time I saw it.
You seen this? Its equally fucked up.

Without reading the link i assume it talks about a planet made of wood, inhabitanted by monks?
It was passed on by a few directors including Ward
In the end an unknown (except for making music videos) called David Fincher directed it. Don't think it even had a completed script when he began
Must have been a shit experience because to this day he refuses to acknowledge it's existence.
I thought it wasn't that bad, just a dark and pretty depressing movie. -

Watched "Legend" last night.
It was only okay. It's worth watching for Tom Hardy alone, who is fucking excellent. Two characters, same movie, both different, and both played really well.
It's funny in parts, it's very fucking violent in parts, but overall it's not well written or paced. I liked that we jumped straight to the Crays being a thing, and we didn't go through the usual back-story, growing up poor bullshit. But events just seemed to happen throughout the movie.
Here are our bad guys, the rival gang, look how bad they are. How will the Crays beat them? Oh, well, that was easy.
The cops are on to them, this guys is relentless, how will they out wit them? Oh, well, that was pretty easy.
Look how succesful they are, how will they fuck it up? Well, that didn't take much.
Aaaaand, they're fucked now.
Roll credits.There was a fucking good movie in there, wanting to get out. Deciding to tell it from his missus' point of view was a fucking mistake, as it really seemed like the movie didn't know what it wanted to be.
It's lucky Tom Hardy carries the movie on 4 shoulders, because there are a lot of characters who have a lot of screen time who you won't even remember their names.
3 Tom Hardy's out of 5 Tom Hardy's

He was awesome. The movie was not.
