BTW, the pointless babble threads are aplenty, but, like me, you can just as easily go onto another and find a few favorite threads in which the conversation is to your liking. Eat the Meat and Spit Out the Bone as the saying goes....

Double-post removed....

@Grin, FUN!!! fun would be David8 replying to me on twitter !!!, instead of evading my questions !!...damn android

actually...thats a good threat to start, brb

I agree that the trailer give away more than the actual length of the trailer due to the fashion in which it was edited (doesn't take any imagination to fill in what happens between certain flashes). I think RSs point in doing a trailer this way ias to bombard the viewer with visceral imagery in much the same way that Event Horizon did during certain sequences. Great point and I'm glad that you've decided to stick around and "plays well with others". ;)

I dont know why im angry, this is the only forum where I get angry over stuff, usually I don't care, just wish there was less AVP banter!, god I hate AVP

I believe most of us here don't like AvP mixed into our Aliens universe although the first AvP by itself was a nice ride (2nd was total excrement and I don't think too many here will disagree). Same with Predator. I loved the first one and the second one had merits as well. I just prefer my Batman and Superman to be in separate movies....LOL.

Also, realize that the reason AvP comes up a lot is because the newest generation of Alien enthusiasts have entered the franchise through that door. They're not like the bread=n=butter of this community that saw Alien, Aliens or Alien 3 in the cinema. In addition, the recent AvP game has brought a lot of interest into the Alien franchise. I loved the game, but once beaten had enough. They did a great job with the marines play-thru and it was a trip being a predator, but nothing topped running on the ceilings as an alien.

Why continue this pointless arguing when Grin has already backed off?

im not arguing, i made a statement.

Belladonna's conjecture about the Alien having a specialized secretion that could soften the material on the helmet enough for it to enter and do it's business makes the best sense, all things considered, including PLOT!

I agree. Facehugger secretions can be quite foreboding.

thanks! thats the only thing i could think of that made much sense. even human saliva is somewhat digestive, less digestive then our stomach acid. i bet the face hugger has more then one secretion as well.

The face hugger might even detect the chemical composition of the barrier material (e.g. plastic, glass) and synthesize a compound (“acid”) on the fly that will penetrate that material and not harm a biotic. If the hugger is a biomechanical weapon, which has been intentionally engineered for the purpose of impregnating a living host, it is quite logical that that feature may be included. Someone a couple of pages back suggested that the material may have ‘broken’ on impact, but I remember an inside shot from Kane’s perspective that shows the hugger’s ‘throat appendage’ writhing wildly between the helmet faceplate and its body as the visor melts. Did I imagine that? As for the ‘problem’ of supposition and speculation on this board... That's the only reason I'm here, really. The film is in the can. It's going to be what it's going to be and beyond what I'll see in the trailers, I don't [u]want[/u] to know what happens in the film until I see it. I'm glad the shots are out of order. This is a work of FICTION. It is all 100% imagined. But, it is out of these kinds of "fictions made real" (in print and on screen) that humanity ends up deciding our own future, because it is ultimately only our imaginations that motivate us to continue living as members of a eusocial collective. We imagine horrors and then try to avoid them by illegalizing them, etc.. We imagine miracles and then invent the tools to make them real or prove that they are in fact impossibilities. I wouldn't have it any other way.
