I just got a puppy not too long ago and I named him Hudson after Bill Paxton's character. I also just recently learned that Weaver was nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for Aliens, and that is cool as gently caress.

Going to pick up Labyrinth after all this talk and praise of how hosed up it is. And I wasn't saying we should go back and replace all special effects in old films. Just touching up the one from Alien 3 because it was so badly hosed. I wouldn't change Arnie's rubber head or stop-motion T-800 for the world.

Pennywise the Frown posted:drat that looks fun. Although if you think that looked fun, check this out. You guys have to watch this video if you like this game. gently caress, I actually remember that map. It was good as hell if you were playing an alien. There was a game mode called like infection or infestation or something like that where everyone was except for one alien and if you got killed you respawned as an alien and it was loving rad on that map. e: lol I got so excited at the mention of my favorite map that I posted before I watched the video. Infestation mode was absolutely awesome.

Phobos Anomaly posted:Alien 3 is my favorite alien movie. Honestly if Alien 3 had nothing to do with Alien, it would have been pretty cool. I liked the harsh industrial aesthetic and Weaver and Dance's performances. There were a few problems with the structure later in the film but it mostly doesn't work because of the dumbass retconning and downer vibe that clashes with the end of Aliens.

 Someone said it comes with the directors cuts as well. Not a bad deal for all of them. Someone also mentioned that they should eventually go on sale for $5 each

Phobos Anomaly posted:Alien 3 is my favorite alien movie. It was my favourite for a while too, when it was the only one I had all to myself after I'd recorded it on VHS (with terrible signal!) at the age of 9 or something. To go on a bit of a tangent, it was weirdly cut for time too -- to compensate for all the loving ad-breaks (thanks ITV), a bunch of minor stuff was missing from scenes altogether. One example being Morse shouting "gently caress!!" after Andrews gets pulled up into the vents. Removed for the sake of saving 5 seconds of broadcast time.  The SNES game was pretty cool though, even if just to run around blasting aliens instead of actually doing the missions properly. In hindsight it was way closer to Aliens than Alien 3, but whatever. In any case, it was better than that loving horrible Megadrive/Genesis version, which might as well have been called Ripley's "Stumble & Tumble" Adventure Playground for all the slopes it made you fall down because of the poo poo scrolling.

Just finished AvP 2010.  It was actually pretty fun. Graphics hold up just fine. I can't find any way to do any sort of local MP. Not local of course but I can't see a way to set up a server or anything. This is the PC version btw.

for real, though, am I the only person who loving hates the facehuggers in the AVP games and would legit appreciate some way to just, like, remove them from the game entirely they're basically just little crawling jumpscares, and not only that, they're jumpscares that work on some primal level every single time for me

I mean, goddamn, they took the "it's dark!" part too literally and it's impossible to tell what the gently caress was going at at times.

Justin Godscock posted:AVP2:R is the worst of the entire Alien and/or Predator series by far. At this point part of how I rate sequels is based on how negatively they impact previous, better films. Prometheus 1&2 are such black holes of series-destroying gibberish that they could rank perfect 10s in every other category and still be bad. Fortunately they're also just very bad films I'm general solution nothing of value is at stake. Requiem is a weird one in that it somehow makes AvP1 marginally better

Floodixor posted:Some replicas (for the most part) of what Sigourney Weaver wears at the end of Aliens when she decends to find Newt and F up the queen: I've had 6 pairs of these Alien Stompers over the years, I never paid more than $50 for them either. One pair I have are all over Scotchlite reflective and only something like 56 pairs were ever made. I've bought so many because they're INCREDIBLE mountainbike shoes, the soles are cut in a way which makes them insanely grippy on flat pedals. I wear them until they fall apart... I still have 3 pairs on the go including those reflectives. ...but then they released those full size $300 ones and instantly all of the Alien Stompers which were previously easily attainable are now priced up in the hundreds on ebay.  *edit: speaking of Alien Stompers, Hanon Shop which is where I bought the reflective ones one for £37 are having a £159 prize draw for these Bishop versions (which he wear in Aliens, ignore the nonsensical blurb about them being prototypes for Ripley's). It ends in 24 hours!! https://launches.hanon-shop.com/collections/launch/products/reebok-alien-fighter-bishops-dv8578    Olympic Mathlete fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Apr 24, 2019 |

So I read the Dark Horse adaptation of Gibson's Alien 3 and also skimmed through the script. I feel like I missed something, but is there ever a reaon given how an egg ended up in Bishop's hibernation pod?

I'm an idiot. I figured out how to create a multiplayer game in AvP 2010. The modes are Survivor, Deathmatch, Predator Hunt, Species DM, Infestation, Mixed Species DM, and Domination. I don't know what any of them are besides a decent guess.
