Yes, I posted up a review in CineD recently: Xenomrph posted:I finished reading the comic adaptation of William Gibson's 'Alien3' script draft and... it sure was a comic book, I guess. The audio drama is a lot better.

quote:The film had an ace visual effects coordinator in Phil Tippett, who also worked on the original Star Wars films and RoboCop. But on set, the computer-generated bugs had to be simulated using some rather unconventional methods. Verhoeven used everything from brooms to poles and even himself as a stand-in. As Clancy Brown (Sgt. Zim) recalled, Verhoeven would be "jumping up and down with a bullhorn going, 'I'm a big f**ing bug! I'll kill you!'” I love Paul Verhoeven so much.

Different directors create different visions. Alien is goddamn near perfect as a horror movie Aliens one of the best action movies ever made Robocop is loving amazing

How has there not been a Robocop vs Aliens comic or game or anything? Even the most stupid contrived reasons to get that crossover would be worth it. Maybe. "Your move, creep!" *blasts Drone with Cobra AC*

that looks really good. i hope one day capcom just makes 3d versions of every character across all their games in the the street fighter 2 -> 4 fashion so i can play aliens vs predator hd the arcade version is packed with capcom home arcade releasing later this year so its not one of those licensing horror stories where a property is just lost skasion posted: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.

Is there a good Alien Isolation LP anyone can recommend? Ideally someone who knows what they're doing and is showing off the story and the game and not a shrieking dickhead going in blind.

Is the hive reveal and the multiple alien reveal done in game or with cutscenes? Those are the parts that really pique my interest. (I'll look them up on youtube after I post this) edit: jesus, just the Youtube thumbnails for people playing that game is enough to make my skin craw. You just know they're going to be screaming almost the entirety of the video. Urgh. Xenomrph's AvP lps were so good. Hey, Xenomrph, have you done a LP of Isolation by any chance?

Have I completely made this up or is there a part where the hive has entombed the ship and you look out a window and turn the lights on only to see a resin wall where space should be and there are hundreds of aliens all climbing over one another out there and... whoops, they know where you are now because of the light. Or am I remembering part of System Shock 2 and just adding aliens?

I think you may have merged both games into one! There is a bit in Isolation where a bunch of aliens are escaping the hive as it gets destroyed, clambering up and over each other to escape the inferno and then BAM! jumpscare as one hits the window you're peering out of. There's no resin wall though, outer space is clearly visible above Sevastopol station. I can't speak much for SS2 however, since I got next to nowhere in that game.
