I was being sarcastic, but yeah it would probably be better. Superman is rubbish anyhow, puppet of the US.

Fox To Reboot Alien
Why is Fox rebooting one of the most successful franchises in movie history? Because of money, and the need to return to the "single alien on a ship" plotline...
Fox feels that the idea of having a bunch of Aliens on screen does not work. So Fox is going back to the one "Alien on a ship" idea we all saw in the first installment Alien. This one Alien picked off the stubborn somewhat snobby crew until only Ripley was alive and available to kick that Alien's acid dripping jabroni jiving simple arse.
What? What did you say? It doesn't matter what you said! When heavy hitters like Michael Costigan, Ridley Scott and even Tony Scott are on board to produce and have asked Carl Rinsch to get above the camera and bring a new Ripley to the silver screen, it would seem that the powers that be have their minds made up on what direction this updated version of Alien will go. Its almost hard to call this a reboot, simply because we saw this idea in Alien. That's what the trades are calling it but I am way more comfortable with calling this a remake.
Wondering who Carl Rinsch is? Me too, I found out that he is commercial/music video director and does work for Scott Free Productions, who is also producing the remake.
Not sure how commercial and music videos relate to one of the most horrifying space story's of all time but hey, its all about who ya know in this business.
I guess the next question is "Who will make a good Ripley?"
UPDATED 6-1-09: Looks like Tony Scott (Producer) delivered some Alien news to Collider.com over the weekend.
The highlight is of course Tony confirmed that this new Alien film is a prequel and not a reboot. I repeat; a prequel and NOT A REBOOT. Tony is not to sure what story they will use but thinks it might swirl around how the Aliens took over the colony in Aliens or how the Alien ship came to land on that planet in the first place.
Tony has also confirmed that Rinsch will be directing. The cameras are expected to roll before the end of this year.
Well, that's more like it. 
Or who created them in the first place?
God did of course. 
I thought they were an alien experiment gone awry?

I don't think so, the first time we see their host it was on an alien ship. Probably just a parasitic being that roams the universe concurring other species.
Much like politicians, if they had a spaceship.

They attacked the....God what were they called... Space Jockey? Race which is what the prequel should be about.
I'd like to see them invade Jar Jar Binks planet.
Every time I think of the above, I smile a little.

LOL! Naboo and infect Anakin that'd be a twist in ep 3.
"Ashes To Ashes" - Fanmade Bat Movie. French but looks pretty stylish. Similar in look to Sin City. Pretty gory to. Haven't watched it in full but will later.
This has nothing to do with the BBC series of the same name.

That...was...disturbing
Did you watch it all already? Was it any good?
It was well made and visually impressive but over the top violence. I had a hard time watching it. But then again I can't watch Saw movies so I didn't like it.
