I'd forgotten the humanoid zombue soldier guys in this. Prometheus was just a continuation of that canon.

I loving loved this game and would spend any cash I had on hand playing it on the rare occasions I would find it in the wild.

However, if you are in couples counselling, and the therapist asks if you have any questions, do NOT reply with "How do I get out of this chicken-poo poo outfit?"

If your partner refuses to open up you can say "You started this. Show me everything. I can handle myself."

I'm sorry. I don't know why I didn't even... Ripley's last trip out, the fles- the artificial perineum malfunctioned. There were problems and a-a few deaths were involved.

So, I like this read, I'll probably do something with it in my TTRPG... but is this textual in the movie?

I honestly didn't pick up a ton of romance unrequited or otherwise among the crew. I know there was a cut scene foreshadowing the Ash reveal where Lambert and Ripley are talking about how he never sleeps with anyone, unusual among the libertine crew.

It's mostly in material about the movie. There is one cut scene you can see on youtube that features this weird walk on all fours it does towards her with it's tail raised up between it's legs, it was cut for looking.....well stupid but yeah the basic principal was it was due to Kane's feelings being somewhat carried through trough to the alien in a horrifying manner. It might even play into her death as you see it's tail rising up around her legs. But yeah it's not something that really gets touched on much unfortunately.

Some of the other material about the movie is that such crews like those on the Nostromo tends to screw around, like literally, I mean what else are you going to do in space on long voyages? Especially when crew mates may change. I think Ripley even ask Lambert about Ash which might be a hint towards that.

We were pretty drunk and high and the look on her face when Selma Hayek sprouts fangs was :discourse:

I've done this once with a friend too, and the pure :wtf: look is magical. I think maybe The Sixth Sense is the last real WHAAAA curveball that I remember not being mentioned or hinted at in the previews or commercials.

Imagine going into Psycho unspoiled. Halfway through the film BAM main character murdered in the shower, suddenly you're watching a police procedural.

I have wished for so long I could have experienced this film without knowing anything about it. Imagine those 1960 theater audiences seeing it, Janet Leigh is the big star, and then she gets murdered halfway through, in an extremely disturbing (for the time) manner.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
In 1986 I was a little too young to see R-Rated movies, so I 'accidentally' strolled into the theater that was playing Aliens.

Holy loving poo poo.

I first saw Aliens when I was 7. I was aware of them thanks to ads for Alien^3 and action figures, but hadn't seen them and was a real pansy/afraid of horror movies.

So I turn on a tiny old TV-- to Fox, if I recall correctly--while bored at my grandparents' apartment. It's the scene where Newt falls into the water and gets grabbed.

Yeah. I slept well that night.

I was around 8 when I saw them. I had been whining about how it wasn't fair my mom got to stay up past me and watch movies, because I could still hear the tv. So we stayed up two nights in a row and watched Alien and Aliens lol

My dad worked at a truck stop with VHS rentals and brought home Aliens to watch when I was 7. I loved it and then watched it by myself the next morning with all my toys lined up to join me. It then became the weekend thing where we'd go get it or he'd bring it home and I'd watch it Saturday morning. It's still my favorite movie, but it's strange thinking back to how normal this seemed.

I was about 5 or 6.

My dad was a man of culture and sophistication and preferred Alien but we watched the gently caress out of both.

They originally gave the Newborn hybrid an engorged dick-vulva.

Jeunet was adamant that the Newborn have genitalia, a mix of both sexes. However, Fox was uncomfortable and even Jeunet eventually felt "even for a Frenchman, it's too much". The genitalia were digitally removed in post-production

So the alien did have exposed genitalia? That must've been interesting for the actors on set.

I was a little bitch when I was a kid. Super anxious, had nightmares all the time, I couldn't watch scary movies. I saw the toy commercials on TV before I even saw the movie. This one specifically.

After I got the toys I had to see the movie of course. It was very :stare: for me but drat. For a 10 year old me it was such a great action movie. It took years for me to appreciate..... literally everything else that movie had in it.
