If you enjoyed Prometheus somehow then you'll probably enjoy Covenant

I thought Prometheus was gorgeous but that all the humans were incredibly bad at their jobs, rationality, etc. Beautiful yet flawed.

Yeah, I don't know why people hated Prometheus so much? Did they suddenly think that a scifi/horror movie about killer aliens was going to be logical? I friggin' love the first two Alien movies, but they were just as silly as Prometheus, and not as good looking.

Yeah, the people didn't seem to have the most basic responsibilities for their jobs, did they? But, you only have two hours to make a movie work so common sense sometimes has to go.

Dave Maez​​ I think the main reason for the hate was just that the movie was bad. I mean, not as bad as some of the hate implied (I gave it a 48/100, whereas a lot of reviews were acting as if it was the worst film ever created which is silly). And to be fair a lot of the poor reviews stem from it being compared to Alien and Aliens which is never going to end well because those were masterpieces.

Good news though if you liked it, because Covenant is basically Prometheus 2. And I'd say slightly better (52/100 from me).

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
