Best Horror Film Round 1A: Alien (1979) (8) vs Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) (57)

[Petty]

I don't know who said it wasn't horror. Of course it's a horror movie. I used to like it until I got older and realized just how unfaithful it is to one of my favorite video game franchises of all time. It's kind of insulting that the series was allowed to go on for so long as all the subsequent movies were much much worse than the first two.

I also highly disagree with the idea that Night of The Living Dead is a terrible film. It hasn't aged as well as most movies, but the plot and character development is still sound. It has some iconic scenes and while a lot of it is dialogue driven, it's supposed to be the point. These are people who have zero idea what's going on and don't know anything. Charged by a platitude of infighting these guys continually make terrible mistakes that cost them their lives. To think that the least likeable character, Mr. Cooper, was right the entire time, is pretty funny in hindsight. Add in the unintended subtext of civil rights and you have a movie that's more than the sum of its parts.



As an aside, don't talk to us about superiority complexes. Was it not you who tried to bitch me out for thinking WrestleMania XIX was better than X-Seven? Oh yeah, it was, because you couldn't handle a difference of opinion then. So spare us your holier than thou act, bud.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

That's about the extent of the fucks I give.

You cared enough to reply, so obviously you do.

No one should be railroaded for this nominations, but I like to keep everything in the open when I do it.

You can keep it doing it your way, though. Just throwing my two cents out there.

Yeah I wasn't knocking the way you do it lol I like how comprehensive your posts are for the women's tournament but I'd probably never get these posted if I put that much effort into it and this way if people want to be anonymous for an unpopular opinion they can...but i think most people on here have no problem owning their unpopular opinions anyway

 

[Petty]

I know you don't like the truth. And if I give you some more truth I'm sure you would have that hit "fraction" button faster than WWE actually giving a fuck about it's product too.

Clown.

Your opinion isn't truth, dude. Who has the superiority complex now?

 

[Smart Marx]

First thing's first; opinions aren't facts. You're entitled to yours, he's entitled to his, and I'm entitled to mine.

It's also not helpful to basically beg someone to infract you. Isn't there a less confrontational manner in which you can disagree?

 

[Petty]

My opinion of you is indeed the truth.

But we will save that for another day.

I said what I needed to say. We don't need to derail the thread anymore.

Stay classy.

 

[Smart Marx]

No more of these barbs flinging at each other.

Keep it about the thread topic and keep it classy as you suggest or things will get official. Please and thank you.

Again, whether or not you don't like me is not truth. I don't like you either because you're extremely confrontational over the smallest things and over matters of opinion. I don't actually care if you nominated RE: Apocalypse. I don't like the film myself and if you do, okay. The fact it's going up against Alien of all films though makes it extremely unlikely to move on.

:skully

I'm actually a big fan of Apocalypse, but I don't know if I can vote for it over Alien.

I am honestly surprised Resident Evil isn't being remade as a scary horror movie with the RE7 story.

It'd be interesting, but I think the thing with First Person Horror games is that it's hard to replicate the sort of tension or sense of dread on film than it is on a controller.

OMB trying to ruin Resident Evil for me.

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

I do like the Resident Evil movies cause Mila is a snack and a half but the first one is prob the most horror of all the movies the rest took a turn too Action sci fi feeling for me.
