According to this:

Sigourney Weaver mentioned on a late night show that Louis CK wants to be in it and "wants to die 'in a terrible way' in the new Alien movie". They could just make him watch Prometheus...

Watched Alien: Covenant on an airplane.  If you're wondering why I'm not launching a new thread (lookin @ u, ED) it's because A:C suuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkked.  It was worse that Prometheus. By far the worst installment of all.  It was so bad, I was getting angry by the end, but only finished it out to post here (there was a fair mcguffin at the end, but it's so predictable).  The Alien is now all CGI and the oppressive claustrophobic design of the Nostromo and the awkward cumbersome Moebius-designed spacesuits are all gone, given way to stuff that looks like any other sci-fi.  It's now reduced to a mediocre horror film, and the jump-scares don't even work, it's mostly splatter.  Gone are the Freudian perversions of Giger style (if only Gigi worked on Lovecraft films).  Gone is the chest popping suspense, replaced by dumb splatter gore.  Gone is any sort of tension or plot consistency. The 'origin' of the xenomorph is so painfully stupid.  Just when you though Star Wars would be the king of crappy prequel series, the Alien franchise steals it away and makes you love Jar Jar.

You know what?  I could go on and on about all the blasphemous crap that happens in this film, but I'm going to stop here because it doesn't deserve it.
