1. When you come to think of it, the xenomorph are very similar to insects, namely some kind of wasps who lay eggs inside their prey. They also have traits of a universal hive, with the queen and all. I know the main theme of the movie is that humans are their own worst enemies. but, since Facism have traits of a big and dangerous hive, with the mass of people who would kill and be killed for the sake of something bigger than them without thinking, i wonder if the creator also wanted to warn people from facistic ideologies by comparing facists to insect-like aliens.

2. Good to hear your friend is in better terms now :-). Your father is indeed great. And he came out like his son, which make him both a parent i wish to have and worthy for the links i sent. Maybe you read "Fable". Similar to "Police Legend", it's about fairytale characters who live their mundane life. While "Police Legend" is very different from Fable, i give them the respect of fellow fairytale breakers. Both you and your dad might like it.

3. Saw "Life of Pi"? So it's a book (and later movie) about a guy who was lost in sea after the ship whom he was over board sinked into the ocean. First, the story shows Pie with 4 animals: Zebra with a broken leg, female orangutan, hyena and tiger. The hyena devoured the zebra and the orangutan, minutes before the tiger did his duty as an apex predator. Pi was left alone with the tiger and tried to survive both the common dangers in being stranded (hunger, storms and being caught in a cursed island) and the force of nature who shared the boat with him. However, later we hear the true and sadder story. The "animals" were actually Pi and 3 more people. The zebra was a sailor who broke his leg when trying to get to the life boat, the orangutan was Pie's mother, the hyena was a racist cook and the tiger was Pie himself. The fights between the tiger and Pi reflecting Pi's considerations of taking his own life. The cook became a cannibal (first he killd the sailor, ate him and used the rest of the dead body for bating fish. Then, he tried to eat Pi after the latter failed at catching a sea turtle). Pi was forced to kill him after the motherless bastard killed Pi's mother. When you hear how the cook stabbed Pi's mother to death after she protected her son from being eaten, you just know the cook can make sense as ghostface. And playing this role make me consider Gerard Depardeiu as a possibility for Tweedle Dee.

4. IMO, demoting a strong story like Pinocchio to so called "child friendly" is not a very dignifying thing to do. Children can survive hard cartoons, as long as there's a good realistic ending. Don Bluth knew it. As soon as Disney knew it, he started to make decent movies. And the worst part? Most people know only the Disney's versions and might be misguided about these stories forever. I can give you an example from today, when i talked with someone about Cinderella. It became an heated verbal argument. From some reason, some people cant axcept the plot holes in Cinderella and keep on believing she was a victim. That's exactly what Cindi Tremain want people to believe.

5. Freddy and Jason make a good cross-over, but not sure about the Deadites. The Deadites are from "Evil Dead", right? i dont know of the "evil dead" are more zombies or demons, so the right choice for a cross-over should be either Freddy or Jason, not both.
