Well then my prayers that he does in fact direct A5 will nullify at least
yours. :) How many does that leave?

Wow,and i thought i was the only pleb on this
scummy dirt-ball who hates ALIENS!.

James 'Piranha 2' Cameron took the dark and mysterious beauty of the
A L I E N movie and turned it into a mindless shoot-em-up...J.C.What a
Fartknocker.

2nd Greatest movie ever made...Beavis and Butthead do America.

B-B...Felicity Kendal kicks ass.

mostly lurked for the last few months, then thought i'd share some
quadrilogy info just in case it hadn't made it here yet. the ng was so dead
for so long i wasn't sure if *anyone* really kept up...so essentially i came
aboard with the intent of info sharing...

/me dons flame suit - i'm a big fan of alien 3, super excited for the
upcoming extended cut. i won't use the term "directors cut" since i'm not
convinced that fincher really had any input on it nor have i read anything
official that he did. alien resurrection was a beautiful film visually but
i really didn't like the story and the aliens themselves (design) were weak.
h.r. gigers beautiful vision was destroyed... alien rules. aliens was fun.
if a 5th film emerges i want ridley at the helm, with o'bannon and shusett
writing, h.r. giger back designing the alien(s) and james cameron sitting at
home...and of course sigourney kicking ass.

Wow, you're a genius.

Fox knows that more people will come to see an Aliens movie if it's got
Ripley in it. A sizeable portion of the audience for any Aliens movie is
gonna be composed of people who looked at the ads in the paper, saw
Sigourney Weaver's head, and said "I saw the last one, Sigourney Weaver's
back.. I'll see this one too I guess." These are the idiots I refer to.

I am not one of those people. I will see an Alien movie no matter who stars
in it. I would rather the other half, the "idiots" who don't care about the
aliens so much, and are seeing the movie because it's the new thing this
month with a star they've seen on Entertainment Tonight, stay away. That way
the franchise either dies, or they decide Sigourney Weaver is not a draw,
and so try something else.

I'll see any Alien movie, even if it has Ripley in it. I'd just rather it
didn't at this point. I had no objection to Ripley being in Resurrection,
until I saw what they did with her character.

Do you people honestly go to see "Sigourney Weaver kicking ass!" or do you
go because you like sci-fi, Giger's designs, the high-level art direction,
etc.. ?

Rent the movie and turn it off with twenty minutes left, you cheap bastard.
It's a pretty decent flick up until that point.

Glen...

I gotta say...

You really shouldn't *pan* something you've never seen...

Oh, I KNOW my opinion is tantamount to hard evidence.. but still...

I can tell you've not been here long! ;P

Btw, I think Ripley in the movies is a bit naff and she's holding the series
back. For me the films are about the Alien and not Ripley.

That's because it IS really bad.

Enjoy the first three films. When you see AR:se it kindof ruins the saga for
me slightly.
