The WoF/Aliens Parallel

[Hurrikane]

Just something silly I noticed.

The WoF is following a progression set in place by the excellent Alien series of Movies.

Let me state my case:

WoF 2007: Smaller, lower scores, but groundbreaking, original, unexpectedly tense.

Alien: Lower budget, smaller cast, groundbreaking, original, tense.



WoF 2008: Bigger, bolder, more people, more teams; HoFs and thrills aplenty.

Aliens: Bigger cast, more action, bigger budget.



Wof 2009: Subdued response compared to previous year, full of close battles and amazing scores despite this.

Alien3: Darker, more claustrophobic, genuinely scary.




WoF 2010: Hopefully the best of the lot, using lessons learned from 3 years to make it near perfect

Alien 4 Resurrection: Biggest budget, incorporating elements from previous films to make a purpose built spectacle for the eyes.


See what I'm saying?

Great parallel; as huge fan of the movie, and of the WoF Competition I can only agree with you.
Let's hope it will work out for 2010 the way you've envision it; however, I'm a little concerned that if WoF follows the Aliens series... it will "die" after that.

I don't like that ending .

I agree with the assessment and can only hope for a great WoF next year. I am sure from experience it will be better then ever, Hurrikane

nah, then comes "WoF vs. Predator"


Aw Hurricane, WoF will never die out

2011 you should do something EXTRA special, since its the 5-yr anniversery

I am a veteran, and yes, this edition is not the best.
Things to do:
- Sign an agreement with MA for those fucking spawn or return at the old no spawn hunts.
- mmmm this would be a great thing.

WoF vs Predator..... I really like that


Given a lot of thought to next year already, I think preparing for 2011 might be a little over-doing it

WoF / Terminator & Batman:The Dark Knight

Eh you could run this parrallel with our films

Let me state my case:

WoF 2007: Smaller, lower scores, but groundbreaking, original, unexpectedly tense.

Terminator: Lower budget, smaller cast, groundbreaking, original, tense.



WoF 2008: Bigger, bolder, more people, more teams; HoFs and thrills aplenty.

Terminator 2: Bigger cast, more action, bigger budget.



Wof 2009: Subdued response compared to previous year, full of close battles and amazing scores despite this.

After terminator 2 terminator 3 was rubbish i turned it off after a few mins. So we Switch to Batman:The Dark Knight here
Batman:The Dark Knight: Darker, more claustrophobic, genuinely scary.




WoF 2010: Hopefully the best of the lot, using lessons learned from 3 years to make it near perfect

A film so good it's not been made yet : Biggest budget, incorporating elements from previous films to make a purpose built spectacle for the eyes.
