Despite Fede Álvarez having the best film of the week, there are some critics he can't convince.

The Alien: Romulus director briefly took to an Alien franchise subreddit this week to chat with fans about his new sequel, but moderators weren't having it, flagging Álvarez as a cheater in a post announcing that he has been "permanently banned" from the subreddit.

“I got banned from the ALIEN subreddit for trying to impersonate myself,” he wrote on X with a laughing emoji, sharing a screenshot of the post.
