Alien3 "reboot"?

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!!!!

yeah, thats why im intimidated to get a blu ray player, ive got so many kick ass dvds, i dont want to reinvest all that money lol. plus, i have to admit, i get a kick out of watching the old vhs lol

lol. I watch every film every week. I freakin love the Alien films. ehh AVP movies not so much lol. I act like they don't exist. I have the Alien Anthology on blu-ray and Game Over Man if you have a blu-ray player it is definitely worth your time. The quality is freakin amazing. But remember if you want your blu-ray player to serve you REAL justice you should get a LED tv, preferably Samsung. Since Samsung does create the best quality tv's out there. But yeah bro, you NEED to get the anthology if you don't have it. And Deadcell it would be kickass if you got a blu-ray player man. There a lot cheaper now and it definetally worth your money.

will definatley take that into cosideration. just wish they had more fans like us on this mountain ripleyclone. would love to have a weekly alien viewing instead of football lol

Yes I will look into purchasing the Anthology. Deadcell you dont technically have to rebuy all your dvds. The blu-ray will play regular dvds too. But if you want the ultra crystal clear quality you need to buy the blu-ray dvds for your favorites. I do have a Samsung and it is really sweet!

lol that would be fucking sick as hell bro!! My eyes would be glued to the tv every week. We need more fans like us man!

Sweet Game Over!! How big is your Samsung?

hell yeah, well im gonna crash out watching alien 3. no offense to the film, just makes my nighmares all the better. take it easy rip, game, jimmy, and all you kick ass fans, till the morrow.

Come on Deadcell couldn't the Alien viewing and Football co-exist...lol. Have to admit Im a total sports junky as well. Or we could just have Alien football! Throw the flag for excessive face hugging!

talk to you later deadcell, game and jimmy. nice chatting with you dudes. talk to you tomorrow.

My samsung is a 40' nothing in comparison to your monster.

Yeah it is about that time. Later RC8 and Deadcell.

There is huge difference between ALIEN & ALIENS in terms of tone and filmmaking aesthetics. ALIENS as directed by James Cameron is standard screenwriting 101. Now I am not saying that it has poor storytelling skills. On the contrary, ALIENS is one of the greatest survivalist action movies ever made. Ripley has a backstory, how she longs for her dead daughter, and she gets it in the form of Newt. In Scott's ALIEN, we don't know about the crew of the Nostromo. They are very well portrayed by the actors but they merely form a collective human presence in opposition to the Xeno. ALIENS has Ripley front center as the subject of the movie. ALIEN is much more emotionally distant, but also much more skillful in portraying an alien world, creating suspense through shadow-play photography & clever editing, and double-billed with PROMETHEUS is much more epic in scope.

this thread morphed into aliens vs alien3 !!!! im pro -alien 3 too but not to the detriment of the other films. i also think its an age thing, aliens for example is easy to access and being considered an action flick,(one of the best by the way) you can just switch off your brain for a couple of hours. Alien 3 is a different beast entirely - its been well appraised on previous threads. i love the fact a lot of people dont its like it partly because they dont get it. better to be loved by a few than liked by a lot. This is the best thread ive read on the matter, some good arguements and some....well lets just say limited. Most of us have been watching these movies for a long time now and the images and ideas have permeated our minds. rest assured prometheus will deliver, this is ridleys genre.

Hey guys im new here! @mind bender Ok, so you said the xenos were redused to ants and could easily be killed with a few bullets. think about it. it makes seance because in aliens, they have rifles and mimi guns, making them easier to kill. but in alien, they didnt have guns (and if they did they didnt use them) and no human had ever encountered the xenos. it all makes seance. Alien: no weapons or experience Aliens: experience and weapons plus military training that is my opinion.

i agree with everyone that said they did not like 3 or Resurrection for what ever the reasons, there were lots of things in both movies I did not like myself , but in both there were also lots of things I truly thought were great and original and thought provoking.I Thought the tunnel kills were filmed so cool in 3 and we even saw one with amazing clarity of blood from above and another as the camera dida twirling 360 as it moved forward through the tunnel in "Aliens Eye View" and we had some remarkable work done with animatronics in 3 and I also thought the fact we learned "They Swim" and John Frizzel's score were both such wonderful Little touch type things in Resurrection. I loved the interplay between Johner and Ripley and the Betty and the Guns on your arms and I absolutely loved the way they drank their scotch!

alien 3 was my least favorite. but there was good things about it. when you got to see the aliens view, it was pretty cool! the way ripley fearlessly jumped off that ledge and killed herself as the alien bursted out of he chest. cool! MY opinion of the order of alien movies: 1: aliens 2: alien 3: alien res. 4: alien 3

I agree with everybody who thought Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection were great films and could embrace them as much as the the first 2 films. I know I do. I love all the films.

Tromatizer, I remember having those comics, they were great. I dont think there is any need to reboot 3. Its over guys... Anyhow its too late Michael Bein (spelling) is now in his 50's and as for Newt, forget it, Sigorney looks great but unno... and anyhow if it was re cast then all the 3 purists would complain about that so it aint going to happen. Why not simply create a kickass Alien 5 written and directed by Ridley, Rated R, and keep the studio execs right out of it!
