That's not strictly true, because your post still sounds wildly off base and insane.

You guy's boy Ridley Scott is actually directing one. While on Ridley I can never understand why anyone prefers Blade Runner to Alien. THAT is a hell of a film.

Alien was freckled bollocks. Confirm.

Uh-oh, someone's talking sense. That isn't allowed here.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to be able to both read and UNDERSTAND the words I've written to be able to know what I was talking about.

Make a circle of salt around your keyboard and say "comprehension" backwards three times and you're in the club, buddy.

Edit: When you translate what I wrote into Polish does it really change all that much?

slightly different genre, though
Maybe some people just prefer artsy-fartsy noir to scifi-horror

Well if you dig the whole Neo-Noir thing I would recommend "The Element of Crime". It's a post-apocalyptic neo-noir mystery/thriller from Denmark shot entirely in sephia. As far as I'm concerned it takes Blade Runner in atmosphere, cinematography, mood and character development any day of the week.

Ha, you never know what to expect from a Lars von Trier movie, though I haven't seen any from before Dancer in the Dark(which was total bullshit), but I really loved Dogville.

I actually haven't seen any of his other stuff, just The Element of Crime. Have you seen Manderlay? Apparently it did so poorly in the box office he couldn't fund the third part of the trilogy. Still, I hear they are both brilliant.

I liked both Country and The Assassination. Nothing new, just movies that were shot very well. Certainly not masterpieces, but still enjoyable. 'Nuff said, I guess.

Naw, I walk by it each time I go to that video store to rent a movie, but I can never convince myself to rent it. I always move away to the "old movies" section. And I hate sequels with different actors than the first one.
