They don't come along very often. True event films. We've had plenty of 'Alien' sequels, but this is our first real shot in twenty years at a truly great 'Alien' movie. Does Ridley's return to the universe of terror he established in 1979 astound? Or does it merely confuse? Or something in between? The two Epimetheuses talk this thing deader than a chest-exploded Engineer in this week's episode of Little Snack. Discussed: some nice, non-chestburster-related Apple news, brief movie reviews from Facebook, Bear Trap's befuddlement upon discovering which planet is NOT depicted in 'Prometheus', Monolith's fascination with the meaning behind the mysterious first scene, the reason Bear Trap wasn't totally present for that scene, other movies Ridley may have inserted subtle allusions to, Idris's greatness, how Fassbender's David is like Hopkins' Lecter, Lean-esque moments, pointlessness and how it might apply to 'Prometheus', and lots and lots of questions. Questions that need answering, but probably won't be. Enjoy!
