Mister Speaker posted:I saw both Alien and Aliens in large-format at the Toronto Cinesphere a few months back, and the audience was animated as gently caress, hollering after "get away from her you bitch!" and a handful of people were reciting Hudson's lines as they happened. Scrub. You’ve clearly never experienced the spectacle that is Grease with Olivia Newton-John Travolta singing “Summer Nights” on the big screen. Oh-wallow-wallow-wallow-uh. But I digress. I’m now thinking about firing up a Gloom server. If I can dig up the mod files and that r1ch open source version of Quake 2 maybe I’ll set it up and link it here.

Its been a while since I've seen it but I think Bill Paxton plays a hyper religious dude and has his two young sons help kill people who he deems as demons. It's good.  Mr. Paxton. Unironically one of my favorite actors.

Alien 3's production was such a wonderful clusterfuck, it's amazing it turned out kinda comprehensible. Like they were faxed script changes from LA while filming in the UK and at one point there was supposed to be a wooden planet or something? David Fincher was just handed a bunch of footage after other directors were sacked and the studio basically said "make it work, good luck."

I can't remember looking forward to a movie for actual years and being that loving disappointed. The first PR wasn't amazing, but it was fun as hell at least, the second one just sucked out loud, felt like a direct to video sequel.

Thinking back to when I was much younger, the menu screen from Super Metroid has a really Alien vibe about it that makes the game seem way scarier than it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l34aHGb2_8

Yep, this actually creeped me the gently caress out as a kid so much that I would leave the room while someone else was putting on the game. I was thinking of the last reply I made re: Grease and now I'm sort of riffing on bizarre crossovers with the Alien universe and other popular films in my head. Like if the body in Stand By Me had a completely unexplained chestburster wound, or the Beatles were running away from a horde of xenomorph drones instead of groupies in A Hard Day's Night.

Durzel posted:There used to be an Alien experience thing at an arcade in London back around 2010 where you were dropped in with some people playing as Marines, who get ambushed by Aliens, etc. Naturally it was poo poo your pants terrifying. You would need just the right cocktail of drugs to make that seem real. Not sure what exactly. You gotta account for synergism. Ice (meth) + weed + benzoes + LSD + MDMA + alcohol may do the trick for unwilling suspension of disbelief.

She'd never seen it before and she guessed most of what was going to happen next. It kind of made me realize how different pacing in movies was back then compared to more recent films. Aliens later this week. I can't wait. Anyone over 30 finds Alien too slow.

Pennywise the Frown posted:AvP and AvP 2 are two totally different movies in my opinion. AvP was more of an adventure film. The main hero is the one you know from the very beginning of the movie. It's a big mystery for half the movie and you discover why the Predators hunt the aliens. The ending is... interesting with the hero with the alien armor/weapons and teaming up with a Predator so the predator ends up being the GOOD guy. That's actually a major plot in the Alien vs Predator books.  The character (Machiko Noguchi) is a recurring character in a bunch of the comics/books that followed, so it kinda makes sense for them to crib that for the movie. As to AvP:R being darker, if you didn't realize it when they show a facehugger attacking an 8 year old in the first ten minutes, I mean...

Boring game tie in: In Watchdogs 2 the millennial hipster hackers have a back and forth about something or other because they name drop LV426. But it's real ham handed and they get into an argument about who would win Predators or Fred Flinstone or some other cringe worthy attempt at seeming "hip" Play Watchdogs 2 if you want. It's alright, I guess.

Mister Speaker posted:What has fewer degrees of separation from the Alien universe: The Matrix, or Grease? Serious question. Grease for sure. Alien ostensably takes place in the future of the "real world" timeline that Grease also exists in. The Matrix posits that humanity has been living in a constructed world that could be the far-flung past or distant future. It could take place in any timeline. Ours, its own, or even the one where Link fails to defeat Ganon.

Metroid was unambiguously inspired by Alien. The big evil dragon Samus fights is called Ridley even. The countdown you have to escape at the end of most Metroids is straight from the movies.
