Question about Aliens (1986)

[MotionMan]

Why did Ripley bother to flame, blowup and shoot the mommy alien's eggs if the whole place was going to blow up anyway?

MotionMan

 

[Malfeas]

She was pissed.

MotionMan

Because she was pissed.

 

[cKGunslinger]

I think she was pissed.

 

[Howard]

Because rock salt.

 

[clamum]

I've thought of this too. The answer: she was pissed.

 

[olds]

Because a professional killer leaves no doubt. Just like in Dudley Doright when Snidley Whiplash ties the chick to the train tracks and leaves. Then the chick gets loose and he has to start all over again.

Once they are down, double tap to be sure.

 

[cKGunslinger]

Because rock salt.

Dammit, Howard! You have to let the thread gather a few more replies before you throw that out. And I wanted to do it!

 

[MotionMan]

Yeah. I gathered she was pissed. I was just wondering if there was any other reason I had missed in the last 4,345 times I've seen this movie.

MotionMan

 

[Printer Bandit]

Don't quote me, but I think she was pissed.

 

[Kadarin]

Has anyone mentioned that she might have been pissed?

And that rock salt sure does sting...

 

[amdhunter]

Because she needed to take a piss. She didn't want a baby alien climbing into her urethra.

 

[tboo]

She warned the queen to back off & let her through with a few warning shots from the flame thrower over the eggs. The drones did back off but then one of the eggs opened so Ripley let loose.

I thought about that, too. Did the queen have the ability to open the eggs, or was it just bad timing?

Getting ready to watch Prometheus, OP?

I recently watched Alien3. You should definitely skip that one.

No - Aliens was on TV this morning. And, I have no interest in Prometheus.

Alien 3 did suck.

MotionMan

Alien 3 did suck.

MotionMan

Serious?

 

[MotionMan]

Serious?

Serious. Why should I be interested in it?

MotionMan

 

[Albatross]

Because she liked her eggs scrambled.

 

[Phoenix86]

The face-huggers go straight for the first human they see, one hatched. I didn't get the impression the queen made it happen, bad timing!

Oh, and she was pissed.

 

[HAL9000]

Serious. Why should I be interested in it?

MotionMan

How much time have you got?

 

[MotionMan]

How much time have you got?

It takes me almost no time to ignore a post, so, take as much time as you need.

MotionMan

MotionMan

If you don't get why you should want to watch prometheus then you have no appreciation for film.

 

[MotionMan]

Are you that much of a sucker for commercials?

MotionMan

 

[HAL9000]

Are you that much of a sucker for commercials?

MotionMan

Nope, and as it happens I've only seen the one ADVERT for it, I've been looking forward to it for the last couple of years long before any ADVERTS were aired.
