1 year agoI don’t understand why today’s standards require background for everything. We don’t get Ripley’s backstory in Alien and it’s not needed. Even in Aliens, we only get her backstory (her having/outliving a daughter) in service of the plot and themes.
I hate being forced to sympathize with characters because of their tragic backstory. Why not write a compelling character through their actions? Tight plots with no filler are where it’s at for action movies.
If I’m using the computer I’m in a program. If I’m not using it, it’s asleep. Don’t really get the point of anything other than solid black.
