Orion is not something which would ever be referred to in space navigational terms.
But he isn't, he's explaining it in terms a lower life form would understand.
That quote must have been inspired by Michael Collins.
He was good against the British but didn't do too well later.

...but are you sure you have?
Mad max is worth a watch - cheap movies. The newer ones are way better, big budget, and Fury Road is superb. Blade runner stands the test of time well. We watched it again before the new one - might just watch them both again in 4k.
It’s frightening when you do the test of time,Blade runners like 44 years but still very watchable.
I suppose they choose to imagine/visualise a future which still looks futuristic,if the world building and imagery wasn’t that great we’d probably not be banging on about it.
Same with Alien and using Giegers fantastic art and the alien design,without it I doubt if there would have been sequels.
I loved how the last alien film just felt like the same world as the previous aliens with the crts.

I thought this would have upset someone by now.

Some are better than other fo'shure and Scott's own return to the franchise has been less than brilliant, the problem with all of them is the same though. The orignal's horror just vanishes. The whole premise hinges on the fact the monster is unknowable, and extreme and hardly really visible and is a reflection of everybody's deepest unspoken fears about bodies and escape and being trapped . Once you decide that it's Freddie or Pinhead, or Jason, then all that's lost.

Whilst I mostly agree with you this is, of course, working from the assumption that you want to make a straight-up horror movie and have nothing to replace that with. Aliens was a successful film by dint of it being an action movie at least as much as it was a horror flick.
This isn't unprecedented either. Whilst there's been more than a few pups in the Predator franchise, look at Prey. That's a great sequel which doesn't rely on the antagonist being a big ol' mysterious bag of WTF.
It's an unpopular opinion I know but whilst Alien is an indisputable classic I actually prefer Aliens, I find it imminently rewatchable. Which is a point in itself actually - would you say that rewatching Alien would be a lesser experience because the creature is then "known" to the viewer?
I think Alien is the better film, but Aliens it the better movie 😉
And the third best Aliens entry in the Alien franchise isn't a film or TV

Is this a rule 34 thing?
I've never seen any 'Alien' films, any 'Marvel' films, any 'Game of Thrones' or similar types of programmes.

You've missed some excellent films and tv.
Aliens was a successful film
The problem I have with the film is it's pretty blatantly racism. It's pretty obviously a Vietnam war movie (Cameron has said as much), the Colonial Marines are barely disguised tropes themselves, expecting to use their superior technological prowess to easily overcome anything in their path, they even have a drop-ship shaped like a Huey.
Which makes the Alien hive the north Vietnamese. They even have a tunnel system...
I know the above definitely applies to Dune
If you mean the original Dune ?, about 3 hours of it was left on the cutting room floor.
It was meant to be far longer, but cut down by the studio, so Lynch took his name off the credits in protest. He shot roughly 4.5 to 5 hours of footage, and a rough cut of this length was assembled before the studio slashed the runtime.
Ai on this info -
- The "Alan Smithee" TV Cut: In the late 1980s, a nearly 3-hour (177-minute) extended version was created for television. It included discarded footage (like the painted prologue and water-of-life scenes), but because Lynch had no involvement, he took his name off the credits, substituting it with the Hollywood pseudonym "Alan Smithee".
- The Fan Restoration: Because an official director's cut has never been released, the fan community took matters into their own hands. If you want to see the most comprehensive, polished version of that lost footage, look for the highly acclaimed Dune 1984: Alternative Edition Redux by fan-editor Spicediver, which clocks in at just under 3 hours.
For Dune fans. This should tie you up for the next 3 hours 😀

Ah he’s DC , TBH I’ve reached peak superhero saturation.
I’d started going back to the cinema but just can’t make the effort for them.
