Probably in junior high, I don't remember any detail but I distinctly remember thinking it was cool that the local library had Aliens novels. I remember reading all three in the library at secondary school. Good books. Had some relatively explicit sex scenes in them if I remember right.

BBC channel is playing an Alien marathon again today. They did last night and also a few times over the past few weeks I think. BBC knows what the gently caress is up.

Crocoduck posted:Stephen Perry was ridiculous about that poo poo. The Man Who Never Missed was cool as gently caress, but the rest of the Matador series got into some very kinky and abusive sex in way, way too much detail. He toned his poo poo way down in his Alien novelizations,. Even for a series with a strong Geiger influence he could go much too far, and has.

Like Alien is to Aliens, The Terminator is a horror film while T2 is science fiction. The Terminator has more tension & fear of Arnold coming after Sarah & Kyle. T2 has you wowed by the T-1000.

I usually prefer the action movie sequel like t2 and aliens were always my favorite out of their series but yeah t2 starts to feel goofy after a while The police station scene in Terminator is just fantastic. Robocop is the best one though, that is probably my favorite movie of any genre/decade

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Robocop 2 because it was the 1st R rated movie I saw in the theater. I begged my dad to see it & he finally relented. He dutifully watched it along with me & enjoyed it too.

For me the problem with T2 is the lack of tension. Everyone knows that Edward Furlong is not gonna get torn apart by an evil robot. Terminator is at heart a slasher movie where a woman alone is menaced by sinister, armed vagrants. It’s inspired by this post-Watergate stuff like Halloween or Assault on Precinct 13 where American society is collapsing and the murder of women and children by these chaotic forces is completely within the realm of possibility. It’s easy to envision a version of the movie where Sarah just ends up dead. T2 has a completely different worldview. basically what im saying is, John Carpenter should have made T2 skasion fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Aug 9, 2019 |

I would watch a whole bunch of versions of action films where the main character gets murdered in the first 15 minutes. T2 but the T1000 gets the kid and the rest of the film is looking for a lookalike orphan to Be John Connor Aliens but Ripley gets aliened right out of the gate and everyone runs around freaking out because they lost the specialist Robocop but... OK that's already robocop

Robocop, but Murphy doesn't get killed and the rest of the movie is the scene with prototype Robocops killing themselves from Robocop 2 stretched out to an hour and a half, each prototype killing itself and the people around it in increasingly outlandish ways.

I like to imagine John Conner personally briefing Sgt Reese on the fact that his mother is hot, and bareback rawdog sex is the only way to feel anything.

"Now listen here, Pvt. Reese. Mom's kind of a freak in the sheets. She'll want to take it in the rear end, maybe have you finish in her mouth. DO NOT LISTEN TO HER. You give her a good old-fashioned creampie. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

I used to LOVE T2. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Now, I think I like The Terminator more. It's much more horror driven. I also played a Sega game as a kid and the terminator crawling after you was terrifying.
