joylitt Is 4K backwards compatible with blue ray or DVD? I could research but figure here it is more conversational. 

I bought the 4k combo from Walmart because it was a little bit cheaper. But I ordered an internal 4k drive for my multimedia PC from Amazon because not even Frys sells it in the stores. Now crossing my fingers to see if I can get it to work because it needs very specific hardware specs.

At least we saw the Runner die. With the other movies- they always get sucked into space and we can't ever be sure. Well, except for the Newborn.

DK - I greatly prefer "Brick and Mortar" stores! They might not always have what I desire - however, when they do, it is such a treat! :)

alien 3 I think had the best death.

surprised you didn't include the queens death from avp.

LoL (gagging noise.)

Lol! They probably just moved AC back to where it was. Not illegal. I imagine that many GOtG discs will go on sale soon or eventually wind up in the bargain bin. 

I don't even bother with brick and mortar stores for movies or music and I imagine many others don't. We get stuff online.

from then on, I convinced every person that i knew to watch the whole series. now, I think it would be safe to say that Our school has the largest blade runner/terminator/alien fan base of children in the state of wisconsin. witch, again is not saying that much.

I applaud you

also, some of the time, the xenomorph was completely covering the piolits veiw of his surroundings. imagine driveing a car with a xenomorph on the hood. i imgine that you wouldent be driving perfectly.

Thank you for the responses. I never considered the xeno "attacking" the claw. I will re watch scene.  I suppose I never considered it because I figured it would bypass the metal claw to go after the meat of Daniels.   Thanks again!

saw alien when I was nine. loved it.

I think David did upload himself into Walter's chassis.  He had the same facial abrasions as Walter from their fight.  No need to fake those, as Daniels never saw them. 

Walter's neck did heal after David plunged the recorder into it; but the sealing of near lethal damage may be a safety protocol that does not apply to other injuries.

David (now in Walter) did know Walter's security code; so he probably also remembered the cabin, and was just messing with Daniels--letting her know who he was, after it was already too late for her to abort the cryo-sleep cycle.  David would do that.

On the other hand, David and Walter could share the body; with David being able to manifest himself anytime he likes.  Like dissociative identity disorder, with David as the dominant personality.  When Walter is allowed to exist, he would not remember what he had done or said while David was dominant.

Uploading himself into Walter would also fit the Paradise Lost mythos; if David is supposed to be the devil, makes sense that he would possess somebody.  Even pretend to be the "good guy," getting humans to place their trust in him, while he is planting the seeds of their doom.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.  I hope the next Alien movie is a direct sequel to Covenant.  I'd really like to see what happens next with Daniels, David, Walter and the embryos. 

I fear David will do to Daniels exactly what he did to Shaw (as he promised), but I hope somehow she dodges the bullet.  Might be nice to see Walter reassert himself somehow, perhaps with Daniel's help.

wait. you guys are all adults? i am in eighth grade. no joke.

DK - I agree. If war was not so impersonal - forced combatants to behold what they have wrought with their hands - perhaps our appetite for battle would abate to a degree.

"Freindship definitely over". I can't let you out to contaminate the ship even though I got sprayed in the face with his blood and am out here.

That's a lot of homework- thanks for sharing.

Nice job Ati :)

Cool. All of this information being thought of and worked on but not added directly to the movie really stings of a missed opportunity to me. Prometheus was the same way. I'd rather sit through a 3 hour movie that is full of detail than a 2 hour edit rush-job.

Better than the scary things i see on the news.

drucea, thanks for sharing that.

That's funny because when I was in second grade... everybody and I mean EVERYBODY knew about and/or seen Alien Vs Predator. That's the power of that movie 

IRaptus Alien 3 Xenomorph was tough af to nail down. It was like it knew what they were trying to do. Even then, after having hot metal poured on him he was still rearing to go.

The Runner in Alien 3 was another good one. It never really got to show how physically resilient it was, but it proved an elusive, cunning, and aware hunter. Coupled with its speed and agility, it was damn hard to kill.

That's awesome, I've been watching these movies (Predator included) since I was like 7 or 8, and I've a couple of friends who like em as well, I'm sure I'm one of the younger ones around, if not the youngest one in here btw,  I also had an argument with one of my teachers about how good Prometheus really was lol. 

The Alien in Covenant got fried by thrusters and shot at before finally being crunched and even then was still trying to kill Daniels before it's demise. Tough son of a bitch if I say so myself. Tougher than the Xenomorphs in Aliens at least cuz they just had to be shot.

I think the best kill is the first Alien. It really show how difficult to get rid of the xenomorph is. How it get harpooned, and yet after that comes back to finally get repelled by the Narcissus' thrusters. So resilient you have to ask yourself: "is it even dead?" I really hate to see dismembered xemomorphs, getting crunched like cockroaches. That is not my idea of a "perfect organism".

@dk

Lol...well, I wish we could have in-depth conversations on Alien, but it seems like the extent of that kid's ability to elaborate on his fandom was "...I like the alien because it has an extra little mouth that shoots out." Still, good taste in movies for a kid!

@Ingeniero

Lol! When I got home and told my husband I had A L I E N fans in my class, his first response was "Haha, don't play favorites!"

@BigDave

Haha, that's awesome! I saw Child's Play once when I was like seven, and it didn't scare me any, but A L I E N really would have because I had a legitimate obsessive phobia of UFOs and Alien abduction at the time.

@Jonesy

Haha, in my dreams, Jonesy! Last year I showed Willy Wonka and one kid was just horrified. I'm not out to traumatize anyone's kid, lol.

Second day of school, I'm super tired y'all! Not going to stay up all night on the forum tonight!

But, earlier today one of the A L I E N fan kids got a case of the giggles, and couldn't get it together. I told him "Good thing you weren't drinking milk or it'd be coming out of your nose right now. ...You'd look like that broken robot in A L I E N."

Obviously that exacerbated his case of the giggles, lol.

That is really uplifting :-) Have them in pairs, as a project, and have one blow into a flute and the other finger to inspire creativity! No need to thank me ;-)

@IRaptus

Haha, yet it's always the uncool old farts whom you'd least suspect (but probably should have)!

IRaptus When Ripley was embracing the Newborn he whispered with longing in his voice... where is Starlogger? 

I cri evrytiem

Dark Nebula Now I wanna see someone re-cut Shrek into Covenant lol Can you imagine Shrek climbing all over the lifter? XD

Lawrence of Arabia that scene is pretty brutal too lol. Yeah I agree, If you turn the volume up real loud just as its skull breaks up and sucks through the hole I think you can hear it whisper.....starloggggggeeeeeerrr I loved you.....

XD

Dark Nebula nice one!

Alien: covenant, crushed by crane

Starlogger The Alien baby loved you too, I think he even said your name before he was sucked out (;~;)

The ugly abomination Alien baby in Alien Res sucked out the hole is my favorite because I LOVED seeing that thing go away and suffer in the process. What a stupid piece of work.

Or the poor Newborn being sucked out into infinity 

;~;)/

7. David is gonna mutilate her in the name of perfection :D

Ah, we have spam cooking here....

sosse

I thought this was about the Xeno killing humans

That will be our next topic :)

Im starting to run out of idea's though....just trying to keep things fun and interesting while we are in this dry patch between Covenant and pre-production of Awakening lol
