Were being Manipulated

@craigamore Agreed. But for me, the "fear of" and the "what if's" are what make this site so fun. I love reading about everybody's ideas and theories to see what conclusions so many different minds come to. And the simplicity of the xeno coming about from a mutated human, is down right creepy. To look back on the other films and think- "we did this to ourselves!" Is scary man. But part of me agrees---shut up and wait for the movie!! Lol

@Craigamore... Granted, but the simple fact is, this franchise is completely full of overt sexuality. That is what is Giger's "art" is based on. He doen't DENY that. So this is either going to be a scenario where R.S finally says, "you know what, lets go with this now" or lets just keep this is simple as frightened people battling the retro '50s blue or green skinned tall fella in a glorified smash and bang fight. Everything in organic reality has a purpose. So its either going to have to come do them simply saying, you know what, it doesn't mean anything.... its all just a weird look that our art department prefers, or they are finally going to have try to explain, the phallic this and the opening that. Oh and @Necro... Giger is a "weirdo". Probably even very emotionally disturbed as many "genius artists" are. I think his only wife in the 70's killed herself not even 1 year into their marriage. I dont think I have ever seen a pic of him where he doesn't seem to have dark, crazed eyes. He was probably refered to the "loney weird one" by kids in his school growing up as a child.

There's nothing wrong with speculating, I just want want us to pull back on the reigns of saying we KNOW what this is, how good it is, that Ridley's a genius or not becuase of what we haven't even seen yet and start acting like mature adults who can argue and specualte without that smarmy, 'well, I know it's this, just because' attitude or 'it won't and can't possibly be good, just because it won't be what I want it to be.' We sound like spoiled, insolant brats at that point....

Agreed CanadaPhil. I don't have a problem with you guys discussing it, I'm just asking that it remain tasteful is all before someone does come along and decides to be the next juvenile fool we have to kick out...that's all...no worries....

I have to admit it's sometimes difficult to curb my tongue but only in expressing or relating something not clanking on somebody or their views. I wouldn't be here if it was all about flaming people or trying to top someones clearly perverted ideas (plenty of sites for that elsewhere). The operative word in all of this is taste, or tact, if you will

ZetaReticuli You have to admit Alien 3 tried to take us out of video game marines, even if it failed. But I am with you on Aliens -- going even further into obscene Giger, sexual depravity, implied and explicit, would have made Aliens truly superior to the original. I mean, imagine the marines finding many colonist still alive with the most gruesome experiments/mutations being conducted on them instead of just one big Queen. Imagine Newt seeing her father, mother or brother with some . . . oh, I'll let it rest there, don't want to get anyone turned on or off.

Interesting with that fish it looks a bit Alien in 2nd photo. I know they found that Moray Eel have a 2nd pair of jaws to pull prey in, like the Aliens have. And scientist only discovered that a fair few years after the Alien/Aliens movies.

@craigamore If Ridley has a lot of say on what the Trailers contain i dont think he would to give nothing away, he comes across to me as a guy who gets very defencive and proud of his work and would want to keep a lid on any spoilers. So if he had a influence on what we see, well he has shown a fair amount. A fair amount that leads to a potential Story with many explanations and Speculations. I think he has done this to throw us off and i think compared to what we may be thinking or expecting, i think he will give us something thats a little out side the box. Thats a big risk and one that could be great or back fire... so who knows Slime that changes into Space Jockeys and Changes Humans into Space Jockeys and Shaws Baby Squid becoming the Mother to all Alien Xenos are a bit way out ideas. Maybe those strange ideas could be close, or who knows Ridley could have a even more bizare Story for us. I expect us to be suprised and him to be giving us a thinking outisde the box Story.

@CanadaPhil. I took a shot everytime you used the words "giney" and I want to say thank you!

Your welcome! No problem Feel... Now remember kids, drinking games can be fun but enjoy yourself in moderation. OK, the phrase for today is..... TALLY WACKER
