Hey guys, what did I miss?

Lowtax: Uh, mods, we can't have any dissenting opinions in GBS. I want you to probate posts from everyone.
Mods: You heard the man.

Also goons: Get away from her you FUCKMAN.

*Lowtax is ejected and screams while floating into the void*

Or something like that, anyway.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.

Do chest bursters not have acid blood or something? At most Jonesy could self sacrifice or flush it out but he's not a dog.

I'd like to think Jonesy would treat the chestburster like a cat treats any other prey, snapping their neck (? spine? I dunno loving it up somehow) and leaving it for the crew to find, as an offering, versus ripping it to shreds

which I suppose cats do also but I'm used to the farm cats I used to hang with, who would cleanly snap necks and leave things on doorsteps

The chestburster popped out of Kane, ran across the table, and jumped onto to floor.
What they didn't show was Jonesy batting it around, tossing it up in the air for 15 minutes before knocking it up under the couch and wandering off to go barf in Ash's shoes.

That explains why the Alien leaves Jones alone when he finds him in the cat carrier later. Even fully contained, the Alien knows that Jones is not to be hosed with - killing machines recognize killing machines.

I don't even consider myself a cat person, but I absolutely recognize that on a particular scale, they are near perfect predators, bordering on super powered. That gets them my respect.

This is the greatest thing ever.

“Aboard the USCSS Nostromo, Jonesy leads a simple life enjoying The Company cat food and chasing space rodents. Until one day, his cryostasis catnap is rudely interrupted. The humans have a new pet and it’s definitely not housetrained.”

Dead loving serious, there are three species on earth that kill for reasons other than defense or food: humans, dolphins, and the common housecat. They are literally nature’s serial killers.

Jonesy should've been a character in the AvP arcade game, but perhaps he'd be too powerful

DLC for Alien: Isolation maybe?

Cats don't always kill things for fun, sometimes they kill things for practice so they can kill things in more fun ways in the future

Also they don't have to obey the laws of physics. I've seen my cat do some jet li bullshit just playing around with his toys. I swear to God they can do straight up smash bros double jumps

Cats also don’t have any bones, in actuality they’re amorphous blobs with some cartilage that gives them a vaguely cat-like shape sometimes.

My cat once took the shape of a small Chinese style dragon and intercepted a thrown remote control, thus cementing the grudge she has against my roommate to this very day.

This was inevitable - why would Disney outsource comics for something they own when they have their own in-house comic studio? They did the same thing for Star Wars.

I don't give a poo poo what anyone says I love superhero movies. Marvel did an excellent job with the stuff they did and the Alien franchise can't possibly get any worse with them behind the wheel.

I'm still holding out for that Neil Blomkamp-directed Aliens sequel that was supposed to have Michael Biehn and Carrie Henn onboard before it evaporated. I mean, the guy only really knows how to write one movie, but he sure does love cool future guns and tech and that stuff would be right at home in an Aliens sequel.

You guys are losing sight of the reality around Alien movies.

There are only two. Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986).

I don't know why people insist that there are other movies. This is so nuts. I mean, listen - listen to what you're saying. It's paranoid delusion. How - It's really sad. It's pathetic.

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.

Can confirm.

I let my 9 year old watch Alien tonight and it was crazy cool watching him go from bored to death to biting his pillow. He liked to poo poo during the escape pod reveal and tension payoff was totally worth it.

Aliens he'll probably like more but without the setup it wouldn't work and he was in NO HURRY to watch the sequel believe it or not.
