You don't want to exclude the cat from the bonus situation or she might sell you out like Jonesy did in Alien.

One of my fav films, definitely in my top ten..."Aliens" is good too although not better than the first one, although a lot of people say it is.
I won't give any spoilers about the moggie...you'll have to watch it again!

Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection.

Never understood all the criticism of Alien 3.

Waited years for what was touted as a great prequel in Prometheus and it was bollox, as were Covenant and Romulus.

There's still room for another great Alien film but can't see it coming any time soon...the latest manifestation, the tv series Alien Earth, sounds a death knell.

Re: Cat insurance

Ridders did two first class films and a near masterpiece in his first three but I don't want to watch anything by him again.

I was going to recommend that.

Most if not all of this is incomprehensible to me but I work on several computers using UBlock and it works very well.
'uBlock Origin (uBO) is a CPU and memory-efficient wide-spectrum content blocker for Chromium and Firefox. It blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, annoying anti-blockers, malware sites, etc., by default using EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's Blocklist, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, and uBO filter lists. There are many other lists available to block even more. Hosts files are also supported. uBO uses the EasyList filter syntax and extends the syntax to work with custom rules and filters.'

I've got a few ad blockers, including Ublock and don't suffer from any unwanted ads, even on youtube which I hear so many people go on about, saying it makes vids unwatchable because of the constant ad interruptions.
I'm not that computer savvy but the ad thing is an easy fix...in my experience, anyway.

They won't let me on-site unless I disable my ad-blocker.
