Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: Re: Well that was crap

[quote name="Mischief Maker"][quote name="fabio"]The screenwriter vessels, fresh off of not acting like any person would, then go on and claim to be scientists while doing stupid things that no scientist would. Take a shot every time someone, including the biologist, only cares about basic biohazard precautions <b>after</b> they open themselves to contamination.[/quote] From a bad movie review site written by a real-life scientist taking a break to cover "Alien," since so damned many bad movies have followed in its wake: [quote name ="And you call yourself a Scientist!"]For me, Alien contains an irony both beautiful and frustrating.
