[QUOTE="Kai Lord, post: 1597930, member: 3570"] Not wanting rock music in an Alien film /= not liking rock music. And I realize AvP isn't going to be high drama, but neither was Resident Evil, and the Marilyn Manson crap wasn't appropriate there either (and there, yes, I did find the music to be crap in and of itself.) You want that music in a Bill and Ted movie? Great. Transformers the Movie, well okay for nostalgia's sake I'll let that one slide too. And I knew AvP wasn't going to be great, but now that I see P. Anderson is most likely sticking to the crap sci-fi score of Resident Evil, I see they aren't even [i]trying[/i] to make it great. Or good. They don't care about continuity with the Alien franchise, they don't care about what music's appropriate for the genre, they're not even aspiring to the level of [i]Freddy vs. Jason.[/i] I'm glad some of you are happy they set such a low bar for themselves. Me, I look at all the supbar premises and genres that have been released in within the past year (Freddy vs. Jason, Texas Chainsaw remake, Dawn of the Dead remake, etc.) about franchises that nobody cares about anymore and the production teams actually went to great lengths to honor that which made the original characters and situations so compelling to their fans. Who knows, maybe the trailer is misleading and AvP will have a lot going for it (yeah right.) But if that isn't the case, and we've got facehuggers pumping their fingers to heavy metal electric guitars, then I'll probably retch in my seat. I mean, Freddy vs. freaking Jason actually had a passable script and execution. Sure I wouldn't call it "good" but they did about as good a job as you could expect or hope for for such a nutty concept, and they ended up pleasing a lot of fans from each franchise. But Aliens and Predators are infinitely cooler and they're getting the "Torque" treatment? Wow, way to aim for the fences. [/QUOTE]
