Ian Holm was incredible in Alien especially the subtly of his manipulation of the crew / false reassurances and how he successfully delays the crew from uncovering the Company's real agenda.

He didn't know half of you half as well as he would have liked; and he liked less than half of you half as well as you deserved.

Been thinking about Aliens lately, and had the audiobook pop up on my Youtube feed. Really enjoyable so far, and it's fun to get some new perspectives on the characters and events. The author really builds up the "Ultimate Badasses" angle on the Marines, so I'm looking forward to listening to poo poo Get Real in the atmosphere processor...

If the audiobook is the novelization, the good news is it’s narrated by William Hope (aka Gorman), the bad news is the novelization omits all of the swearing that was present in the script and movie. Apparently this was done by the editor after Alan Dean Foster had written and submitted it, and he was pretty pissed about it.

They've only just made it to Acheron, so the REAL colorful dialogue is yet to come, but there was definitely a tasteful "gently caress you, man" during the awesome "anytime, anywhere" exchange.

Woah, I had no idea either. I just figured she had darker skin and the whole movie is pretty dark.

Has anyone ever heard of the Deathlands series?

They're pulpy post apocalyptic action adventure books that were turned into audiobooks that I used to listen to when driving a lot for my old job.

I downloaded paid the full $3500 price for the series from graphic audio recently and have been going through them again, and was surprised to hear them suddenly saying "stay frosty" and then a couple books later someone actually says "how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?" and it warmed the cockles of my heart.

It's crazy how much the profanity adds to that script and how jarring it seems when it's absent. I can't believe any editor would ever be happy with "Get away from her, you!". Hudson's death scene also loses all of it's impact, and his story also goes from being somewhat of a redemption arc to just another random casualty. I wonder how much of his freak-out was scripted and how much was Bill Paxon just being an awesome actor and hamming it up?

Paxton confirmed that he improvised the “game over” line, among others.

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!

Its true whoever mentioned seeing the sequel first torches the suspense of the original, NEVER allow friends or loved ones to suffer such a fate.

Alien3 is an OK film with flaws that struggles with the burden of trying to live up to its predecessors, and David Fincher and the cast and crew that worked on it deserve massive respect for being able to complete it in spite of the ridiculous circumstances they had to work in.
