"You knock that shit off, Hudson!"
Another great scene. Apone laying down the law.

MemberOvomorphMay-11-2012 11:02 PMOf course the Bishop's knife trick, the first battle and the scene when the queen part two the poor Bishop...

MemberOvomorphMay-11-2012 10:14 PMIt should come natural to Apone. I'm pretty sure Al Matthews served in the Marines as a Sergeant. "Another glorious day in the corp."

MemberOvomorphMay-08-2012 12:51 PMThis is the topic that finally brought me to join and post....
Favorite scene is "Game Time", from the time they cut the power until Vasquez takes one for the team. The highlight for me is watching Hudson go from always whining to kicking alien a** and then going down like a man. I used to watch that scene every morning to wake up and sometimes still do.
If that doesn't get it flowing, nothing will.

MemberOvomorphMay-08-2012 1:01 PMMy favourite scene is when the marines start scouting the colony. Those empty corridors with only hints at what might have happened, and the suspence of not knowing what they're going to find.
And it's also a hat off to Alien.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

MemberOvomorphMay-08-2012 2:31 PMthe scene where bishop is crawling inside the pipe up to the processor. gives me the chills. its so long and so narrow, makes me sick just to think of it. claustrophobic.
not to mention when they cut it open, he looks both ways before entering, just to make sure theres no big bugs crawling around.
ALIENS THINK HUMANS ARE ALIENS

MemberOvomorphMay-08-2012 10:48 PMMine is the powerloader vs the alien queen. James Cameron must have liked it himself too as he recycled the scene from his very first film "Xenogenesis" which also shows the inspiration for The Terminator Hunter Killer tanks.

The scene I refer to starts about 7 minutes in.

MemberOvomorphMay-09-2012 6:45 AMBishop piloting the drop ship away from Hadley's Hope after Ripley rescues Newt just before the place goes up in a 40 megatonne nuclear fireball!!!
"Punch it Bishop!""

dallas!dallas!
MemberOvomorphMay-10-2012 12:32 AMEverything with Hudson is gold.
But my favorite is his bit when Bishop volunteers to pilot the drop ship.
"Yeah, good idea, Bishop should go!"
Cracks me up just thinking about him nodding his head and saying that line.
And of course, his reclaiming his manhood and giving it to the xenos. The child inside me still vainly hopes somehow Hicks will pull him up this time.
Even Aliens haters have to love Hudson. And if they don't then screw them.

MemberOvomorphMay-11-2012 11:10 AMI like when Ripper's takes command of the APC. You could just feel how sick she was of seeing people die because no-one would listen to her (Ash telling her not to go out after Kane, Dallas abusing her for not opening the airlock, Ash disregarding her order, Ash wanting to keep the organism, corporates from Weyland telling her they know best, colonial marines telling her they know best, etc).

MemberOvomorphMay-11-2012 11:17 AM@dallasdallas,
You are right, if you don't love hudson, something is wrong with you!
BUT, I am going to have to nod with @yotoddy and go with Sgt. Apone.
I am former Military, and my favorite part is when they come out of cryo-sleep and Sgt. Apone sits up, put's his cigar in his mouth and immediatly starts barking orders!... LMAO! I use his lines at work and around the house to get my kids getting after thier chores.

Kane77
MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 12:54 PMyeah, the Prometheus crew isnt the marines..they have an extra personal trainer after cryo-sleep..lol ..no camparison to Sgt. Apone and his cigar ..LOL
another nice one:
[i]Newt, wake up, we´re in trouble..[/i]

MemberOvomorphMay-17-2012 9:32 AMFor me, the scene that always gets me going is when Ripley, alone and armed with a pulse rifle/flamethrower combo, is in that elevator descending into hell, all for the love she has for little Newt. Knowing that she is the only hope that kid has, she straps on her gear, steels herself for whatever horrors lie ahead, and takes off after Newt. The score during that scene really puts you in the mindset with her, that you're getting ready to face something terrible in the hopes of saving that poor little kid. There are many scenes in that film I love, but the power of seeing Ripley prepare for war just hits me every time. Her maternal instinct, whether you're watching the theatrical or director's cut, is emotionally engaging as a viewer and you're rooting for her to pull off what appears to be the impossible.
I'm also always moved when she first finds Newt's wristband. You can see the pain of loss on Ripley's face (truly earned her Oscar nod here) and then that mixture of joy/relief and momma instinct kick in when she hears Newt scream upon seeing the facehugger egg hatch.
I know many here hate on Aliens - why, I'll never know - but I don't think any of you can deny the emotional impact of this sequence. If you do, you're just drinking too much Haterade!
