For me, the biggest reason to like Alien Resurrection is the fantastic set design - easily as good as that seen in the original Alien. Beautiful sets throughout the film provide, at the very least, a convincing 'industrial sci-fi' aesthetic faithful to the 'raining indoors' cathedral-like...

The problem is, Jim, that some men in some games are objectified - certainly on a purely visual level. I'd cite Dante, from the most recent DMC game. Both he and his gorgeous-looking twin brother are dreamily good-looking young men, designed by someone with a VERY keen appreciation of male...
