[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1601226, member: 812"] Smack, smack, smack. Hey, if by Alien FRANCHISE you mean, "Three quarters of the Alien movies made so far," you need to say so. My mind-reading powers aren't up to that task, I'm afraid. If a portion of a FRANCHISE includes a film that is campy, then statements to the effect that the FRANCHISE isn't campy are incorrect, unless they specify that the campy element isn't to be included in the FRANCHISE. But I'll agree that until we get to [i]Alien: Resurrection[/i], the FRANCHISE wasn't campy. But it sure is now. You may want to pretend that movie never happened, heck, I may want to pretend it never happened, but it did. So the FRANCHISE is officially a source of campiness nowadays. For someone to be faithful to the FRANCHISE, they need to acknowledge the campiness. This is why I welcome an Alien film that ISN'T faithful to the FRANCHISE. You can't be serious about this. You're honestly suggesting that no good action sequence was ever scored to rock and roll? Cause what I heard in that trailer sure wasn't anything I'd call "heavy metal" -- it was plain old rock and roll, loud and fast and hard. And you're going to insist that no good action sequence ever used loud rock and roll effectively? II'm just very very surprised that you think this isn't common practice in action movies. What about Limp Bizkit's version of the Mission: Impossible theme in M:I 2? That was WAY heavier than what I heard in the AvP trailer, and it worked great. The alley fight scene in [i]Charlie's Angels[/i], to the stylings of Prodigy? Heck, check the soundtrack to [i]The Matrix[/i] -- oh look, it's Rob Zombie, it's Prodigy, it's Rage Against The Machine... I mean seriously. [/QUOTE]
