A fly on the wall in the Fox studios...

Rating: 1/10 (10 October 2002)

20th Century Fox studios, circa 1990:
Executive 1: `Hey I've got a great idea for Alien 3!'
Executive 2: `Great! Let's hear it!'
Executive 1: `Well, you know that Alien had one alien, and then Aliens had lot'sÂ…'
Executive 2: `Uh huh. So you're saying that logically we should have...'
Executive 1: `That's right! One alien!'
Executive 2: `Hmm. I don't know. The fans won't like that, there'll be no story development.'
Executive 1: `Yeah. But think of the budget!'
Executive 2: ` HOORAY!! LET'S DO IT!'
I must have watched Princess Bride about four times now and often daydream about being able to play the role of Inigo Montoya. Although in my dreams it won't be to avenge the death of my father, I'll be inside Fox studios shouting:
`My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed the Alien Trilogy! Prepare to die!'
