I knew before going that his character's fate wasn't a good one, but I clearly thought it was more graphic than you indicated here. I enjoyed the film, but...wow. Just imagining that thing using all of its constrictive muscle power to hollow Reynolds out from the inside, breaking bones, etc. even now gives me chills. One of the things that I didn't like about the film was how invincible Calvin was. I mean...nothing could kill this thing. At most, you could induce conditions that would somehow allow it to go dormant. I don't know if they could even do a sequel to the show because it's so unkillable. It's almost like...what's the point?<br /><br />Congratulations to Theresa on her book.

Looking forward to your comments about Ghost in the Machine *G*.<br /> <br />I am giving the newest Alien movie a skeptical eye. Alien and Aliens were excellent. But they went too far with Alien 3, Who Cares and Alien 4, Search for a Good Script.<br /><br />A to Z is wonderful, exhausting, informative, overwhelming, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. and sometimes expletives. <br /><br />Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-15803574890345983962017-04-03T09:37:23.385-04:002017-04-03T09:37:23.385-04:00Hi Alex, I completely forgot about the A to Z Chal...Hi Alex, I completely forgot about the A to Z Challenge this year, I have no idea how April crept up on us :( <br /><br />Glad that you moving away from the internet for a few days, I'm doing the same.<br />Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-15497801662729751522017-04-02T21:09:35.523-04:002017-04-02T21:09:35.523-04:00I would say that "Before I Fall" sounds ...I would say that "Before I Fall" sounds like another instance of the book being better, but really, isn't the book always better? :P And I hadn't heard much of anything about "Life", but it sounds like I'm not missing too much.Mason T.
