Alien 3 came out in 1992. I saw it a few months ago for the first time. It's pretty good. I'd take it over Sneakers, which is an OK movie, but not as good as Alien 3. Alien 3 had that great fight with the prisoner actually holding his own against an alien for a minute being all "Is that all you got?!", but other than that I hated it. None of the other new characters were likable: you were half routing for the aliens. The little girl we spent all last movie saving and caring about dies off screen before the film starts, the hero dies, Bishop dies...it was just depressing.

I've been listening to a comedy radio station for a month or so and on iheart radio app and they announce the name after the skit (not that Joan's voice can be mistaken) and I've not been tripped up once. The station doesn't play whole stand up shows but of the skits I've listened to those five people have not been able to make me even smile. Some I turn the radio off. I know humor is different with people and some appeal and others don't. The closet common factor I can come up with (Robin Williams being the exception) is the combination of vulgar and mean spirited comedy turns me off to it. Either or I can take in a reasonable dose, but together and that being the foundation of your act is not funny to me.
