I'm glad I bought the quadrilogy dvd set back in the day because James Cameron is working hard to erase the theatrical cut of Aliens from reality. I happen to prefer it.

I'd say watch it once just to know what they did with it. It's not good though.

>>69864417

It's not that bad.

I consider the first AvP the third best Alien movie, it's worth the watch in my opinion.
>>
>>69864431

Directors cut > theatrical cut

Same for Terminator 2 and for Avatar. You'd think it was a pattern, but the stuff he cut from Titanic was really bad.

Best kill - Dallas. Jesus fucking Christ how tense is it? When he finds that skin the alien had shed as it grew I tink that would be the point to nope of there. Then he hears the alien moving around overhead.

A few years ago I was working in a warehouse and had to go look for something by myself. I went into this huge, dimly-lit space full of shadowy machinery and just thought "fuck this".

Just rewatched Alien Resurrection, having seen it when I was 9 (fucking nightmares for years).

It's 100% crap. Nothing to salvage, no good kill, no interesting twist. Wynona Rider is atrocious in this.

The "masterace" alien at the end looks like a retarded albino and dies by having his ass sucked into space.

Overall terrible. Plus it looks like Amelie with Jeunet's fucking yellow/green imagery

Below is possibly the very best alien site I've ever seen, along with the old Nostromo files. This has BOATLOADS of model photos/production stills, collated by a (real) crew member. Once I went looking for it, I found it again.

http://www.zen171398.zen.co.uk/Alien.html

Let's recap who's in the movie Alien is notable for its extremely small cast, even once doubles and stunt people are accounted for. The actors, to their credit, did pretty much all their old 'stunts':

PRINCIPAL CAST (7)

Sigourney Waver, Tom Skerritt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, Veronica Cartwright, John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto.

THE ALIEN (3, being one actor and two stuntmen)

Bolaji Badejo, Eddie Powell, Roy Scammell

DOUBLES (3, being Ridley's two sons, together with a son of photographer Derek Vanlint WHOSE NAME I HAVE NEVER FOUND:)

Jake Scott, Luke Scott, _____ Vanlint (male)

VOICE ACTRESS (1, Mother)

Helen Horton

ANIMALS (4, courtesy Animals unlimited. 4 cats were available to portray Jones, but I still can't tell whether all 4 were used in final footage, or some lesser number)

It is. 2 is a dated 80's action flick filled with lame quips and messy action-sequenses. 3 is a flawed, yet decent attempt at recreating a tense, claustrophobic sci-fi horror film.

It also retconned the comics where Newt and Hicks make it back to Earth and the former is committed to a psyche ward and the other is basically an outcast in the military before a bioweapon's lab brings a queen to Earth and cause aliens to overrun the plant.

Also Newt fucked an android.

I have a question, why does the Chestburster get through what is one of the hardest bones in the human body? Couldn't it just wiggle down 6 inches to avoid the rib cage?

I never understood where it got the power to break through the sternum. With that sort of force the thing should just shoot out like a cannon from its host.

Yeah I think it shouldn't have been as bashed as much as it did, but there's still a lot of shiting writing in it, like all the scientists being told that they are traveling to an alien planet for some reason, yet none ask why, or what their job will once they get there. All we get is "hurrr I need the job because it pays well". Sloppy writing at its best, as per usual from the hack that made Lost

Weyland-Yutani signed a joint agreement to colonize and terra-form the planet with the Marines.

The Marines footed the bill for the materials, and the security, of the sight, while W-Y provided the labor and technical expertise.

In the end, the Marines would get access to a terra-formed planet to establish a base of operations for force projection throughout the galaxy, and W-Y gets the right to harvest minerals.

Whedon wrote the script, very much in his style (full of witty, quip-spoutting characters). Jaunet wanted to film it in a serious tone with a bitter dark style. and he didn't even knew english very well.

The biggest flaw Ridley made with Alien is that he never resolved the bonus situation.

The movie starts, and in one of the very first scenes, we hear about issues with the bonus situation, so you know it must have been important. It had me curious right off the bat, and scene after scene came, but they never discussed the bonus situation. I figured that when Kane was in his coma, Scott would have taken that opportunity to finally discuss the bonus situation, but the next thing you know, we get the chestburster scene, and the alien arrives, which was cool and all, but I couldn't help thinking to myself "what about the g'damn bonus situation!?".

Then, one by one, the alien starts killing the crew, and it was at this point that I figured Scott wasn't even going to address the bonus situation, which was fucked up, but I held out and figured that Ridley wouldn't let such an obviously important plot device go unresolved. But no. He did.

When we finally lose Parker and Lambert, I knew we'd never have the answer. The ending was cool with the "lucky star" shit and the ejection from the shuttle, but all I could think about was how I would be left forever wondering about the bonus situation, and why it never got resolved.

I hate Ridley Scott for that to this day.
>>
>>69880616
Yes, it was very annoying.
>>
>>69880616
Even in the extended cut of Aliens when she's with Weyland Yutani for hours she never once brings up the bonus situation. What unrealistic bullshit, in real life if I was on that space station I would have asked.

3 is what happens when you attempt to go kino while being pressured to make an action-adventure film. Some of the cinematography for Alien 3 is beautiful. The crash landing at the start of the film in the special edition is just achingly beautiful - shots of a grey, industrial wasteland by a coast, a monk walking through it all. The tone, when it's allowed to be true to the original ideas behind the film, is somber, introspective, solitary.

There's so many things that are good about the film but which are just overshadowed by the executive decisions. The direction is great, the performances of the leads are excellent, it nails dark sci-fi just as good as the first Alien did - but it's still, on balance, a mediocre tending towards poor film.

Out of all the films I've seen, 3 is the one that I feel most disappointed about, purely because it really could have been the most artistic of the trilogy but was ruined by the fact that FOX wanted another Aliens (which I also enjoy, but which I blame for ruining 3).

If you're a fan of Alien, it's excellent. They nailed the aesthetic, it really feels true to the original Alien.

I've heard from people who aren't fans of Alien that they enjoyed it, but were frustrated with pacing. Admittedly, it does have the annoying tendency of ramping things up and deflating it for about 10 times in a row (Amanda probably has the worst luck of any video game character, ever), but that never really feels like it detracts from the horror of the game.
