Once again, awesome analysis. Proving to me you are good "people". Haha I get deeply entrenched in the films I love (as well as music) but I am much better at talking points of films than typing them out but you and I can hang any day. Great job in defending these films.

@MindBender Thank You! I really appreciate MindBender. I'm happy to know that you appreciate these films as much as I do. Not many people do...unfortunately. haha I call the people who are only fans of Alien and Aliens "Half-Assed Alien fans". They forgot the other half lol.

I loved ALIEN, I loved ALIENS, I liked ALIEN 3, I was indifferent with ALIEN Res. The end of Alien Res didnt mesh well with me, I hated the cross-breed xeno thing. Im sorry I laughed at it. It wimpered like a child and killed like a ruthless monster, wtf. Ive mentioned this before, the scene where the scientist is cocooned and doing goo goo baby talk to the xeno thing and calling it a beautiful butterfly and saying come here come here. The thing climbs up there all innocent and then bites his head off, i busted out laughing! I get people aren't going to like ALIENS for their reasons, but man I thought it was an awesome movie! I dont really get why people say cameron dumbed them down to "bugs"? Give examples of why you state this, im not arguing i just would like to know why? If you are insinuating that just because they come at the marines with reckless abandon then that is not how I see it. What I see in ALIEN is a single xeno being sneaky and covert trying to survive and in the process get numbers on his side, hence the nest it was starting. In ALIENS you see what happened once they got a nest started and started out numbering the hosts. I see strength in numbers the reason they come at them with reckless abandon and feel no threat. Another thing I read was that it took 3 or 4 bullets to kill them. Well there is nothing in ALIEN that lead me to believe that xeno was all powerful either. I mean if Ripley's little harpoon gun could penetrate the xeno in ALIEN im sure bullets could do it damage as well. Just my thoughts

I couldn't agree more Game Over Man. I hear some people complain about Aliens. Aliens was a action packed, heart pouding thrill ride. What the fuck are some people saying lol honestly. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection tend to get the most criticism but Aliens does get its share of criticism from time to time. The thing is, is that every film is different and its unique on its on take. Honestly EVERY film in the series is worth the watch, they are all fucking awesome and epic and have something to say in their own way. Honestly the people who think differently just UGH...idk man. People like that bother the shit out of me.

if you do to alien 3 what the creators of highlander 2 did for their remake, it would be awesome. there's so much you could do, just dont george lucas it. on its on it is its own movie, so dont take away from its foundation. alien res is in the same boat. if it aint broke, dont fix the some bitch

It is nice when you have people backing you Ripley Clone 8. But on the other side of the spectrum the others feel justified as well because they have others that share their opinions. That is what makes discussions like this so awesome. You get to see others points of view on things, which gives you insight to what they are thinking and why they feel the way they do. Whether you agree or not. Which makes for some dog gone good debate. :) Which can be fun when done in an adult manner(no name calling. :) But we are human and the defensive nature will come out from time to time. :)

Oh totally I understand. Thats completley true. Its just the people who shove their opinions in peoples faces and shut down any other opinion people have that drive me nuts. The reason why I say that is because Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection do get A LOT of hate from people and as a fan of the whole series I have a deep passion for each film. I'm not knocking down people's opinions but there's nothing wrong with defending your opinion in a polite manner. But I totally agree with you!

so very true game over. we are entilteld to our opinions as fans. but it also give some fans the chance to open their minds up to all posibilities. just remember we all have one thing in common, we are fans of this great mythology. and like the old vikings to their norse mythology, we want our god to kick all the other god's ass

Right On DeadCelll!!!!

and just to be a little rebellious, im going to watch my copy of alien 3 the directors cut from the quadrilogy

Well I am an honest person and have been one of the posters to say the AVP movies are downers. I say that because they are really far fetched and dont really relate well with the Alien movies. As I said I have mixed emotions about Alien Res, there are things I liked about it and as I said the end of alien res stunk it up. :) But I do own every dvd that features a xeno and that includes the AVP movies. :)

Nice same here :) I got the Alien Anthology with my blu-ray player along with the my 55' LED Samsung TV. The Alien movies are glorious on this tv.

so do i game over. i will admit that. but when i decide to watch any avp, i just forget the plot and concentrate on the action. its like drinking moonshine, harsh on the way down, but gets the job done when in doubt. res wasnt that bad, just kind of disapointed with the hybrid. the death was awesome, but still it kind of made me think of a big nasty puppy lol

kick freakin ass ripleyclone. did you ever see the alternate ending for res, its makes a bit of sence.

Yeah! I saw that dude. I actually uploaded that scene to Youtube. I thought it was pretty epic. Seeing Paris in ruins like that. Makes you wonder.

true, one thing missing though. i would have had an orange cat like jonesy walk by and kind of nestle up to ripley. just kind of a shout out to the true last survivor of the nostromo

Im just catching up to the new world. I got a blu-ray for christmas....now I have to get all my alien movies in blu-ray lol. A 55' that would be sweet to watch some xenos in action. Deadcell i am the same way sometimes I will just have an alien movie night each day of the week. Which will sometimes lead to the AVP movies. I just watch them for the action as well. Alien Res I could watch maybe once every 6months. Alien 3 I may watch that a handfull of times a year. But damn... I could watch Alien and Aliens every freakn night!!!!

co...alating...."I was wrong, so wrong..." Snorky I'm still all over this... ...Stay Tuned...

Here is Section #1 of my initial "Easter Egg" report From Part 1: ~>Just Discovering DiStaphano Alive to start it off is an Easter Egg to me! LOL. From Part 2: ~>"The referenced expression "Robo-Chump". That whole scene made me think of the Paul Verhoven film "Robocop" and Karren Allan's relationship in it with Peter Wellers Robo-Cop! I have the Criterian "X" Rated version of that film before it was cut 50 or 60 some odd times by the suits! From Part 3: ~>"Titan Max-Security" I have no idea why that expression is ringing so many bells in between my ears but it's bugging the crap outta me so it must be an Easter Egg of some kind I am not getting! From Part 4: The Whole Explanation thingy for "How They See" for me is an Easter Egg somehow cause it's just so deep and yummy !!! More to follow !!!

Thanx Li, I love that moment in ALIEN as well. Such a badass moment, with Goldsmith's howling music...while the "Big Chap" shows off his big ten inch expandable mandibles. the epitome of Science Fiction-Horror...Right there! ~N

did you photoshop the lens flare lol its good neurion

Good call Alteredstate…I did Photoshop the flare. Back in the 80s, I did everything “by hand”…and to apply a lens flare via airbrush was a very, very risky business. If it worked out…GREAT! If it didn’t…you were FRACKED! So, sometimes I’d chance it, others not. I didn’t on that particular ALIEN illustration. A few months ago, I busted out that old piece, scanned it and thought it could use a little ZIP…to resurrect it, and bring it back to life. Well, that’s the “flare” story behind illustration “Survivor.” Like Sir Ridley, I too am a fan of lens flares in the appropriate place…to make things more realistic or liven things up. Before ALIEN, they were considered a “no no” by cinematographers. Thanks for the interest Bro, ~N P.S. Check out one of my Giger-esque compositions in progress on the PROMETHEUS forums, titled "Charlize Theron as Meredith Vickers…Queen of Zeta Reticuli"

Neurion, you really do have a talent. everything you do is so life like. I enjoy all your pictures! Also, The Girl With The Giger Tattoo, that is a wicked tattoo.

Thanks BBJimmy!

Hey! thought I would start this thread back up again by saying i'm a bi-sexual male FYI lol.

& as originally stated, I as well welcome any and all females who are gorgeous, have long blonde hair, are bisexual and Lesbians, and have pretty feet, to contact me for free BBQ and Beer plus $400,000 in shopping gift cards! [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/DrkCat.jpg[/img]

lol, please speak up if you happen to be a women or if your lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, crossdresser etc, etc. Your comments would be highly appreciated!

For the record, my wife really likes Alien too and often asks me about what I'm hearing about Prometheus through this forum. She does have the release of Prometheus on our calendar on the wall. Granted, she's not on here herself, but that counts for something, right? :-)

Good point

What the Snork! Dude, seed a flying mentos to the way of snork dork! ?

I'll in hibernation till opening day. Can anyone wake me up when the time is right? Thanks.

Spacecraft only have to possess aerodynamic properties if they enter an atmosphere such as the Shuttle did. Science Fiction takes great pains to avoid this. An airplane uses control surfaces such as ailerons for rolling, rudders for yawing and elevators to pitch. A spacecraft uses reaction control thrusters for the same maneuvers. There is no need for it to even remotely look like an aircraft. A classic example is the Apollo Lunar Module. Another thing SciFi always gets wrong is firing thrusters in the direction of orbit to break orbit and enter a planet's atmosphere. All that will do is put you in a higher orbit. To break orbit, you have to retro-fire. Hope that helps.

Yes Giger was quoted as saying when Dan o bannon asked him why do you use that stuff meaning opium ..... i take it because i'm afraid of my dreams, so yeah a nice Gigeresque chillum or pipe would make for a wonderful Souvenir.

I never knew that, Wow I feel inspired! Never been down that rabbits hole myself. Here, where I live you can legally buy a herb (that is not a Narcotic) called Saliva Divinorum, now that would be interesting to ingest at the last 20 minutes of Prometheus and go from 3D to XYZ for the full Mayan 2012 effect! but really?...if I found a Jinni in a lamp and I got three wishes, one would be to snork it with Giger for a month. His concepts of the Biomorphically mechanical world are truly fasinating. One thing about Prometheus that I would like to see is a deeper journey into Gigers Alien world. But maybe, now I can go there without moving? Uhmmm and become true Space Jockey right down to full body Biomechanical tattoos!

Funny you should mention stargate, when I saw in the trailer the derelict ship sitting on the ground with it's "forks" pointed at the sky, that's the first thing I thought - this "ship" might actually be a stargate the SJ's set up on a planet and use to fly thru and navigate the universe.

Hey Alienites, Here's my latest rendition of Vicker's/Charlize's transformation into a...Giger...Alien something... Mainly the rib area. Be adding more soon. Peace, Neurion [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMETHEUSTHERONBLK15.jpg[/IMG]

That is wicked as Hell!! Love it dude. KEEP IT UP!

Thanks WARCHILD...I like your handle. It's the title of a 'Jethro Tull' (one of my favorite 70s rock bands) record. Ciao, ~N
