it's totally a gothic haunted house film in space. it pees all over aliens.
At the same time Aliens is awesome, too. It's really amazing that two so very different but connected movies exist in the same series. It's easily one of the best sequels of all time, up there with Empire Strikes Back and Terminator 2.
this is evilbore. fair isn't part of our acumen!
i like aliens, but it gets way too much credit from the fanboys. then again, i liked fincher's alien^3, so what do i know!
I also forgot that Alien is the byproduct of Jodorowsky's failed Dune movie. If it weren't for that crazy, crazy bastard, we would have never gotten Alien. Alien was the first script O'Bannon made after Dune fell apart, and H.R. Giger and a few of the other key Dune people ended up working on Alien.

He said he was going to do Dune until it fell apart on the BR doc.
Both films need to be on Blu-Ray discs and appropriately located near my crotch.
I need to watch Alien 3 now that I have it.
Really? What would he have done? What did he do before he directed shit? I am guessing he was a directory of photography or something along those lines.Yeah. On the doc he said he was supposed to do it and really wanted to because he thought it could be like his own star wars but it fell apart.
It's been forever since I've seen this. Such cream dream casting. Harry Dean Stanton, aka the cult leader from Big Love, Ian Holm aka Bilbo Baggins, John Hurt aka The Elephant Man and Sutler from V for Vendetta, and Sigorney Weaver, that, uh, bitch from Aliens. And that whore that played Spenders mom on the X-Files. Something Cartwright or something. And that dude from Picket Fences wwhose name I don't remember. Basically, I know who everybody in this movie is, and that is awesome. Now where be the pale space vampire titties? That is this movie, right? Where be them tittays?
Word.
And the airlock in the second one.
That's because they both used Moebius work. Though I think Blade Runner didn't have his direct input.Both films need to be on Blu-Ray discs and appropriately located near my crotch.
Tell me about it. The movie is astonishing to look at. The set designs are :o and much like Blade Runner, they are sooooo far ahead of their time.
Alien 3 still pisses me off that they killed Hicks and Newt off right at the beginning. Hicks was my favorite character. :'( It's been so long since I watched it that I don't really remember much about it at all.In a way it works with the series as a whole. Each film has Ripley starting off completely alone and further into the future. Also in each film the connections betweeen Ripley's character and xenomorphs gets closer. In the first she simply fights the alien. The second film has her mothering Newt in the same way the Queen protects her kin. The third film has her giving birth to the creature, and the fourth she actually is part xenomorph and does the naughty with one.

Did you get this in HD? I don't want to rewatch any old movies nowadays unless they're on HD. It's not that they suck on DVD but I find the experience to be more rewarding when it's in 1080P.
