Spoilers for a fun sequence in Alien Isolation & a nice throwback of sorts: When you board the Anesidora whose interior is based heavily on the Nostromo, there's limited lighting at first, then you see what looks like an Alien right in front of you...only for it to be just a part of the ships' equipment

Livo posted:Spoilers for a fun sequence in Alien Isolation & a nice throwback of sorts: Hah! Yes, I remember that now that you mention it. I just about jumped out of my skin. I also watched Alien last night. Unfortunately my small(er) town doesn’t show old films so it was at home, but it’s still an all-time top three film for me.

I read the first two issues of the Burke comic and I'm not wild about 2 aspects. The company 100% would have covered up the real events of lv 426 to the general public. And they are trying to give Burke any level compassion for others. He was an irredeemable remorseless piece of poo poo from the start. He sent the knowingly colonist there to get impregnated in the first place. I could buy the "saving my wife at any cost" aspect though.

redshirt posted:What if? question: Could you save the mission to LV-426? If so, what would you have done differently? And try to be reasonable with hindsight. Icon Of Sin posted:Mission could’ve been a partial salvage if the dropship had stayed airborne, rather than landed and an alien got aboard. Bishop would’ve had all the time in the world to study the xenos, and WY probably would’ve gotten better data out of it MarcusSA posted:They could have just nuked it from orbit. We're all forgetting that an egg and possibly two facehuggers appeared on the Sulaco completely inexplicably. The xenomorphs work in mysterious ways...

Doctor Zero posted:I recognized it too, but I started to doubt myself when it didn’t attack. I think it’s there for people to see or not. It does blend in pretty well with the equipment if you aren’t looking for it. Yeah the main takeaway with that scene is just about how well the creature blends into its surroundings. Some folks will be caught off guard, others might be like "isn't that the alien's head? ...or maybe not. OH poo poo" and still others will be all "hey the alien is right loving there, you better move your rear end, Sigourney Weaver! There, see? What'd I tell you!" And I don't think any of those is a more 'correct' reaction at all. The post-self destruct scene with Ripley casually hitting switches in her undies has gone on for so long at that point that even first-timers watching in 1979 KNEW the creature was still alive and chilling in the shuttle somewhere, it was all about waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Yeah, that too. I was thinking, “okay why aren’t the credits rolling?” And also “I should probably be enjoying seeing an adult woman in a skimpy top and undies but I am way too terrified for that.”

Mister Speaker posted:Also, they need to make that RC face hugger into a real thing you can buy. I can think of so many people I'd freak out with it. See, this sounds like a fun prank idea, but you spend hundreds of bucks on that thing, and one of your friends freaks out and absolutely destroys the robot in a panicky frenzy Try to film it when it happens though!

The Sulaco was absolutely INFESTED with Bishop androids. Every time a Marine walked into a room there was a bishop crawling into the pipes, playing the knife game, or offering cornbread with a goofy grin. Burke just pre-programmed them to stick random alien poo poo to bulkheads when the dropship came back. Botta bing, botta boom, Alien 3!

redshirt posted:I really hated that story twist. It just doesn't make sense. Yeah, it always bugged me and was very lazy writing compared to the first and second movies. The queen was in a small compartment of the drop ship, then immediately chased people around for a few minutes in one room after stepping out into the Sulaco. It was observed by said people, Bishop, and the audience from the point it exited the dropship to the point it got flushed. So either nobody bothered to check the tiny space it dropped out of in the dropship for a couple garbage bin sized eggs or this gigantic monster dunked eggs into the ceiling ducts with stage magician level slight of hand skills while chasing Newt.

I think I've asked this before but isn't there the sound of an egg opening at the very end of the credits in Aliens? I might have imagined it but I thought they always had that Easter egg sequel tease in there.Rappaport posted:See, this sounds like a fun prank idea, but you spend hundreds of bucks on that thing, and one of your friends freaks out and absolutely destroys the robot in a panicky frenzy Yeah true. I'd even settle for some rubber facehugger models to just hide in cupboards and stuff so they fall on people like the dead one in the first movie.

i don’t think cameron was even thinking about a sequel at that point. the egg sound in the credits was probably the studio wanting to put a “james bond will return” in there.

Could a facehugger lay an egg in a T-800? Would the alien be like a mechaxeno? Or would it be like a normal xeno with a fleshy skin sack covering on top of it?

The robot is absolutely horrifying, but this compromise would still be incredibly mean. Of course if you have access through friends or work, you could 3D-print something like that, even that preview image is extremely  That particular model even has a kind of weird mouth for extra ick.

Awesome! Now we need an Alien film from the xenomorphs' perspective where Ripley is petting Jonesy while telling a Praetorian xeno about her evil plan to destroy their hive ala Blofeld.
