Soooo I have been writing reviews for about ten
years. My wife's review of Alien puts everything
I have ever written to shame.

"Alien is a move where nobody listens to the smart
woman, and then they all die except for the smart
women and her cat. Four stars."

The attitude of the Space Marines in Alien II certainly fits that, too.

Have they fixed the spelling of "movie"?

It's pithy, but it's not a very accurate description
of the story in Alien. It's not really a movie where
people die because they made stupid decisions or
didn't listen to advice.
