...That looks awesome, can't wait to get it :D
Some Screamers, there could be a Xenomorph screamer, with it's head opening revealing a hacksaw or something.
Well, maybe it is dead or just wandering what to do now, as they f*** themselves over.
What about the Thing V.S. Xenomorph ;)
This argument is rather dumb... GotG earned 5 times more than AC and it is the newer release so in a capitalist sense it is the logical thing to have 4 times more shelves for that and also at top. Don't blame Target for it's logic, as it is very sane.
Furthermore even AC's directions were capital driven, Fox wanted to introduce the Xeno as quickly as possible (to sell more toys) and this are the results. So please don't cite Biafra in defense of a capitalist product.
witch, to be fair, is about 8 people. still we are a pretty serious fan base.
i personally collect the drinking birds to put in my room.
Music is stuck in many ways. A famous and serious song from an iconic movie had drum tracks added and pasted on a friggin Nike commercial. Blasphemy!

I wish Prometheus was a perfect movie like Alien because I am in love with the idea just like the original Alien.
Woolson I kinda feel that the music scene is stuck, not evolving as it should. Probably that's why in the Alien universe there is just old music.
I'm going with 7 because Daniels swinging around on a cable while shooting 50ft or so in the air while a Xeno is running around is just badass. She then gets retracted back onto the lifter and then slides off and starts dangling again while shooting! I love it! Still, there are some good other choices to choose from.
What a great shot! Still, watching the video with audio and not looking at a picture is the best way to experience such an epic killing! I like my Xeno killings with a touch of a girl being a badass.
Woolson Agree- I am sort of set in my ways but I always seem to stumble onto something new that I like. I suppose movies are the same way.
Woolson
Its a great song, very edgy, they couldve used this in a trailer focusing on Daniels or maybe the shower scene.
That is what is great is imagining it to different parts of the movie- and I deffinitely see the connections you made.
@dk
Exactly, I listen to a lot of Hip Hop and Pop and Rock but most of it is old. I really dont like this new generation. However I like some new songs here and there.
@joylitt
My username is named after my friend whos last name is Wilson and I would tease him occasionally by making fun of his last name in a friendly way. Woolson was conceived after I read about this ancient department store called Woolco.
Woolson Don't follow charts and what is popular so much. If you like what is charted, fine. There is much more out there if you just want to listen.
@dk
Its a great song, very edgy, they couldve used this in a trailer focusing on Daniels or maybe the shower scene. Good pick
Woolson when I see your your user name I think of Eric Woolfson, one half of the Alan Parsons Project... they produced some out of this world music
@joylitt
I guess since my generation is so hell bent on nostalgia, maybe some country, hip hop, pop and retro style songs. But i bet its gonna be more trashy EDM and pop music
Woolson Here it is with lyrics. Minimal and effective- sort of how David may be thinking with what he is doing and talking about Weyland too.

@dk
I gotta get into NIN then
Woolson What kind of music do you really think is on the Billboard Chart in the year 2104?
I like The Day the World Went Away- the music is in a major key, the lyrics tell a dark tale that is ambiguous enough to relate to David. I guess we all have our favorites.
@joylitt
It would better fit for a movie like Blade Runner 2049 or some sci fi film
@dk
I chose up with the birds because they had a rousing bridge that led to the guitar solo and it sends chills down my spine when i thought about Alien. And i was thinking about Pure Imagination as well, but Midnight mightve been a better choice because of its lyrics and use in other trailers.
But ironically they have a new song called A L I E N S taking from our beloved Alien sequel lol
I guess nobody liked "Nature's boy"? That song was such a big give away about how the movie was going to be focused in David.
Found it, although someone could easily expand on it for the whole song. Thanks for the reminder.

Woolson I may have seen it but do not recall. Can you link it?
Someone made a fan made TV spot out of it that's why I brought it up
Timmy the ultramorph Good point- the echo location from the VR video with some tweaks would have been better. Ultimately, I would have been happy to have it un explained.
Timmy the ultramorph Yes in Alien 3 the POV worked better, it served the purpose of generating suspense.
Woolson Pure Imagination sung by Gene Wilder- that is great imo! The music even gets a bit off kilter to add some discomfort.
didn't we alreadt sort of see an alien pov in alien3? it just looked like a completely normal pov. I had always imagined something more like the predators infared but not as bright. something that instead of heat, echolocation. how To create this image i have no idea.
@joylitt, I stream from iTunes purchases. At home on my Apple TV. At work, when nobody's looking, on my laptop. As a precautionary measure, I also have a portable 2TB hard drive containing my most cherished movies.
A lot of people slag off Apple, but they are pretty good in this respect. For example, all my purchased movies and most apps are available to the rest of my family. So, when my son is abroad at university, he can trawl through my large collection of movies as he likes.
Annoyingly, I have a handful of iTunes movies in my Wish List that are not available in HD in the UK iTunes Store. E.g. Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. I refuse to buy SD movies at DVD resolution because I am used to HD quality, and DVDs look really rough to my eyes now.
I shudder to think about the days when I had a DVD collection. Adverts on those things drove me insane, especially when going back a few years to watch an old movie. You don't get adverts on iTunes movies.
dk what I mean is: the POV is not on the script. The running xeno is. They swapped one thing for the other, I guess to make the whole sequence more of a slow burn suspense. But it misses the mark; as you say it is not worth it.
@dk @SpaceJOC
Thinking about it, yeah and I'm sorry if I grinded any gears but there was another song by Coldplay called Midnight that really would've been a good choice. I chose this song because someone used Pure Imagination as a trailer song and it was generally known as a happy innocent song
joylitt Country Roads was an excellent choice. Problem was hardly anyone would have known if not seeing trailers first and being cued by Tennessee to Shaw's mumbling.
hox Nicely put. The more we understand the creature, the less Alien it becomes.
joylitt What you show was not in the movie- agreed. The pic I showed was from the Xeno POV and yes, it seems a bit weird. RS wanted to show something different during that scene considering everything going on and this is what we got.
I think the John Denver song was a lovely choice in the trailers. However, I wish it had been used in a different way in the movie.
