A lot of good threads today, but can we take a moment to talk about the bonus situation?
>>70217847
Can you just fucking die? Thanks.
>>70217847
niggers don't get bonuses
>>70217847
We aren't gonna talk about it and you're risking forfeiture of all shares.

Reminder that this negro was right about everything but no one Iistened to him
Just rewatched this last night.
Do people legitimately think this is better than The Thing?
>>70219409
They should of just frozen him
>>70219486
Yes, because it is.
>Talking to a guy recently
>Mention that I rewatched Aliens recently
>He replies 'Aliens? Never heard of it'
>I reply 'Y'know, Aliens with Sigourney Weaver. The movie with the space marines fighting the big black monsters with penises for heads. Surely you've heard of it?'
>'Nope, is it new or something?'
I was kinda surprised. Not so much that he hadn't seen Aliens, but that he knew literally nothing about it.This guys was about 20.
I feel like Alien is so deeply entrenched in popular culture I can't imagine you could go about without at least being aware of it. There are so many movies/video games/toys/clothes etc. It's a huge franchise.
I also felt kinda jealous though. Imagine seeing Alien for the first time if you knew absolutely nothing about it. What a fucking amazing experience; especially seeing the chestburster scene.
>>70219486
The Thing has a low budget feel to me
>>70219803
Did he know Predator?
>>70219486
They're literally on par with each other.
>>70219896
I didn't ask, but I imagine not. When I said Aliens was an 80s film he replied that he hadn't seen a lot of movies from the 80s
>>70217847right
>>70219409
They're both up there. Which is better is hard to say, it's up to personal opinion. Let's just say they're both very good.

I was talking to a "movie buff" friend of mine and asked if he was interested in watching Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein. He had never even heard of mother fucking Frankenstein. I even showed him Karloff's picture and he knew nothing about it. I can understand not seeing the movie, but the Frankenstein monster is on par with Mickey fucking Mouse in pop culture.
I haven't played vidya in like a decade but my brother recommended the Alien Isolation game based on my love for Alien.
What a fucking based game. The atmosphere is absolutely incredible. It literally feels like you're in the movie if you play in the dark with headphones. The plot setup with Ripley's daughter is really contrived but if it's just an excuse to play through Alien's set pieces I'm fine with it. The thing I really loved is Aliens pretty much invented the whole space marine concept that Halo and a million games have ripped off since so they would be totally justified in making a shitty space shooter but they went full on with dick riding the first movie and only the first movie.
Anyway there's a scene where you find a recording of Parker complaining about the bonus situation and I laughed my ass off. It's new original dialogue recorded by the original actor too.
Also I just had the thought there should be a /tv/ approved vidya guide.

I knew an incredibly sheltered girl in HS who literally had never heard of Star Wars. It was incredible. She came from years of homeschooling where she was only allowed to read the Bible and a few approved history books.

>>70219803
Do they live in a cave or something?
>>70219803
If he was around 20, then he was probably born a couple of years before Alien: Resurrection was released, so I'm not surprised
>>70220098
Fuck off.
>>70220204
It's not bizarre to wonder how someone hasn't heard of such pop culture mainstays, especially Frankenstein.
Anyway, the movie buff friend was Iranian and a huge fan of Buñuel and Polanski. So I guess he kind of gets a pass.
>>70220098
Yeah man, you got the "Last Survivor" DLC, right? Being able to explore the Nostromo in photorealistic detail is amazing!
>>70220098
One of the best games of the decade famalam
>>70220378
YOU ARE BECOMING HYSTERICAL
>>70220098
Definitely worth picking out of the bargain bin

Starship Troopers was published in 59, you jackass.

Tippy top kek.

No. NO. Fuck you! You will NOT turn my favourite movie into shitposting and memes. DELETE THIS THREAD RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
>>70217847
you are fucking right. when you 're right, you 're right.
>>70219220
wait, how do you know about the Weyland-Yutani merger thing? was it explained in Prometheus? also, if Yutani held 51% ownership, shouldn't it be called Yutani-Weyland instead?
Damn, you got me in an Alien mood, I 'll probably watch it right now.
>>70223040
Brand loyalty. They needed to keep it familiar.
>>70222618
In the book the marines have nothing in common with what we see in Alien, the Starship Troopers movie, and Halo. They wear power armor that launches shoulder mounted nuclear warheads and can jump over buildings with ease.
don't need to thank me, I am as stoked as you.

Let's get the thread back on topic.
>>70226172

>>70219220
