How David created the Xenomorphs...which I thought I wanted to see onscreen again until I watched The Crossing, which rekindled my interest in the Engineers, the Black Goo, the Deacon and Paradise. Shame the whole story probably wont ever be told.
Apple is quickly becoming the Disney of streaming and may ironically even surpass Disney itself someday. Every Apple TV + show (whether I liked it or not) has a production value level and core message beyond Netflix, Amazon and Hulu’s streaming shows. I like all of those too but only for certain specific shows. They are more like flea markets where you find some great hidden gems. But Apple and Disney are like a world class department store and have brand power that people trust and you know what to expect. This is a long game Apple is playing and they will win even if it takes a decade.
If you asked what anyone thought of Game of Thrones and Westworld after their first seasons they would also say there was nothing memorable. Even hit shows like Breaking Bad take several seasons to ramp up and become cultural touchstones. It might take another few years and a dozen more new shows but Apple will eventually score a major hit. They already have a better hit ratio than Netflix and it’s only their first year.
Not many besides Spielberg but most directors also take to producing in the later stages of their careers. Directing is for the young trying to make a name for themselves. The real power has always been the producing which is all I expect Ridley Scott to do for Apple.
Hell no. Should have been ended after Aliens. Sequels, the blight of good movie making. The only thing worse is remakes.
Absolutely ^^this^^
