I caught a late night showing of this one. Although I enjoyed the late night vibe at the cinema I'm afraid the film was a rollercoaster of disappointment.

I went in with extremely low expectations but by 30 minutes into the film I was very impressed. Strong cinematography, solid acting, great production design, an interesting setup. But around the time the first alien shows up, the film completely s***s the bed and becomes nothing more than a greatest hits compilation of every previous Alien film... including quoting lines from previous films verbatim and callbacks to some low points in the franchise I think most would rather forget.

I came out of the cinema and I felt such a strong sense of "What a pity. What a terrible pity." There was a lot of talent behind Alien: Romulus, they even made it on a sensible budget; they just didn't have a script worth a damn.

And btw, Hollywood's been skimming DreamLyrics again. The basic premise is a salvage crew boards an adrift research ship that's on a collision course with the ring system around a planet. Identical premise to the Alien game I ran here, INS.

Hope Mackey heals quickly! Dangit Tedted!

Hope your trip is/was wonderful, Gypsy!

Still some voters out there I'm sure! I'll wait until Monday evening to tally the votes.

Zhu

Once she is back in town, and Rory makes an appearance, she hands over a few troll claws she had found in the Troll village and says, "You said you would show me something?"

Henri

He was about to run upstairs but stops momentarily to give Miranda's hand a squeeze and says, "Mon cheri, can't wait to see you in a swimsuit." Giving her a wink, he let's her hand go and adds, "Ok, I'm going to get my costume from my room and then we can get going."

Upstairs he had still kept the bag that he brought the costume in, so he quickly makes sure it is all there and roughly folds it back up figuring the proprietors will launder it at any rate.

Pavel

Pavel makes sure that the rod is wrapped prior to placing it in his bag of holding for safekeeping.

Thanks Argus. I guess I didn't check the total on that.

Nice! Mine is on the way.

Looks like 8 is our number this round. Vote post coming up shortly.

(OOC - Was out of pocket traveling to see my first grandson all week. Sorry. Happy to move on to not hold anyone up.)

Just a quick note. Nep and I would love to target the party-split about Oct 1. Which gives us a couple of weeks for RP around Calling Horns. There are a few things you all have mentioned over time that should be done while you're here. Slice-of-life food and drink is fun, but let's not overlook the need to check some boxes:
- Meet with Tamalin to collect your reward (and any other info you may want to trade)
- Meet with Rory to exchange quest loot to show you the promised secret tunnel
- Identify the magic items you've been carrying around. With a party split you may want to know which party they should go with
- Any other random plot hooks you may want to follow up on

Well done guys!

Thanks guys!

Two kids playing in the Washing Time Machine got stuck in the spin cycle for too long.

Awesome Dugan! Thanks for doing this!
