Question about Aliens (1986)

[NFS4]

Why didn't she just shoot the queen in the fucking head first, then kill the little bastards?

 

[kinev]

Serious. Why should I be interested in it?

MotionMan

Because this...?

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

And no, most people don't watch movies that they don't like/aren't interested in 4,345 times...

 

[Bulk Beef]

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

You want to know why? Because FUCK ALIENS, that's why.

 

[Arkaign]

Hah, so weird. I finally got my GF to watch this last night. In my mind, she was already pissed, but wiping out the the other eggs which might be hatching seconds later and causing general mayhem is probably a good aid to escaping. The alternative is to what, either stand there and die, or run away immediately in which case you'll have at least one, and possibly dozens of face-huggers skittering their way towards you/crawling up the elevator shaft?

Oh, and I lol'ed again last night at :

(1)- Half-bishop flying across the floor

and

(2)- Beast Queen knowing how to use the elevator like a boss

 

[Ichinisan]

Are you that much of a sucker for commercials?

MotionMan

You're the one who seems to be influenced by the trailer and you probably thought it was something like Avatar. I hope not!

For the record (if you're actually serious), Prometheus is a prequel to Alien, by the same director (Ridley Scott); who hasn't done sci-fi since he helped to redefine it with the original Alien and Blade Runner.

I don't think I've ever been hyped for a movie like I'm hyped for this.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Charlize Theron will ruin Prometheus. mark my words.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Prometheus midnight showing FTW!

 

[Ichinisan]

Prometheus midnight showing FTW!

Already got two IMAX 3D tickets for 12:01 AM.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Screw 3D...2D for me I think.

 

[ImpulsE69]

MotionMan

because..it's the only way to be sure.

I'd make some joke about there being other Alien movies, but alas, we already proved there's many people on these forums who have led sheltered lives.

MM - not sure if serious about Prometheus, but it could be worth seeing if you liked the first Alien at all.

 

[Ichinisan]

Screw 3D...2D for me I think.

I usually agree with this, but I haven't seen an IMAX 3D movie yet.

 

[jman19]

She probably blew away the eggs so she wouldn't have any facehuggers tailing her on the way out.

The real question is why she didn't take out the queen as well.

Don't hate so much on the third one. Check out the directors cut, that one had so much potential, aside from the fact that the movie was teased to be set on earth..

I got tired of hearing people say this, so I did. Recently. It's BAD. David Fincher is great but Alien3 is bad no matter how you slice it because the basic premise is bad.

I agree. The Fincher version is much better than the studio version.

 

[The Boston Dangler]

in this scene in the movie i am always weirded out by sigouney's bulge under the napkin she's wearing. that and her total lack of ass.

Wasn't she a dude at one time?

haha no

I am going to need you to explain your theory a little further.

MotionMan

Probably not, since I have not seen Avatar.

MotionMan

He's implying that as you've seen the film thousands of times you must therefore like it, and it's is logical to conclude that anyone a fan of the alien franchise will be interested in seeing prometheus.

 

[Genx87]

She was pissed

That did not work out so well regarding Alien 3.

[blackdogdeek]

i would consider aliens a different genre than alien and from the looks of it, prometheus.
