I always liked that the aircraft towing vehicle in the GTA games was called the Ripley.

I don't think anyone would accuse Sigourney Weaver of being the most effeminate actor, and I don't mean that as a slight in any way because she's a total badass in this series, but goddamn is that an unflattering interpretation.

The skin is an existing "operator" character from launch with Ripley-inspired hair and an outfit.

I don't remember specifically what the aftermath was but I do remember not wanting to watch it ever again for years and years afterwards. The IT movie gave me nightmares for a week too, and that was the only other horror movie I can recall actually legit being scary as a preteen/teen. I'd guess I was between 11 and 13 or thereabouts, but shortly after horror movies never had the same effect on me.

I don't remember specifically what the aftermath was but I do remember not wanting to watch it ever again for years and years afterwards. I watched IT with a friend for the first time during the early evening at my house with my parents home. Then my mom said I had to walk my friend home as the sun was going down. I played it cool all the way there and as soon as his front door shut I booked it all the way home. I have a weird thing with horror movies. A friend showed me the beginning of Nightmare on Elm Street (on Betamax) when I was 4 and I freaked the gently caress out. She was like "hey wanna watch Freddy?!" Sure, Freddy sounds harmless. That night was the first nightmare I ever remember having. I've had sleeping issues ever since. I didn't sleep with my light off until I was 13 years old. I still have hosed up dreams/nightmares every night to the point where it screws up my sleep so bad my doctors were going to put me on a med for PTSD (which I have anyway) that prevents you from dreaming. I didn't know that existed which is funny because they have it in the Nightmare movies as Hypnocil. Anyway, I got so tired of it by time I was 17 or so. I couldn't watch any straight up horror movies. Action horror was iffy though (I had the Aliens toys before I saw the movie). I got a few friends together and I rented every Nightmare movie and we watched them all back to back. Completely solved my problem and now horror is one of my favorite genres.

It's funny to watch clips of it now, because it actually looks pretty corny in very 90s ways. It's amazing how vivid my memories of it are though considering I barely watched it.

Voting Floater posted:I had basically the same experience. I went through a horror film phase at a similar age, which probably included my first watches of Alien, Predator, Terminator etc. Really, it was actually a friend who was a year older who was keen on them and I kind of got dragged along. Most were fine and it tended to be the more "realistic" ones like Halloween that freaked me out, but Event Horizon is the only one I can remember us not even being able to properly watch because it scared us both so bad. It was a rental so I think we felt obligated to finish it, but we kept having to pause it and literally watch through our fingers. Literally same, yeah. And I watched Alien, Aliens, Predator, all that too, but while Alien hit some of the same buttons for me, the difference between Aliens, Predator and the similar vein of this was was basically "scary but in the exciting kind of way" whereas Event Horizon, IT, and to a degree Alien was psychological horror along the lines of "WHAT THE gently caress OH GOD  " that I definitely remember making me feel like curling into an unresponsive ball IRL--which is what a lot of the characters in them ended up doing in one form or another  edit: goddamn it this just reminded me I STILL haven't finished Alien: Isolation because it's too loving stressful

Then, after frying the hive, I felt good, really good, almost like I was unstoppable......then I saw them ....1....2.....3..... nope nope nope. Turned it off after that cutscene and never looked back.

Since we’re sharing traumatic childhood movie experiences, mine was Aliens. I must have been about 4 years old and my parents sent me down to the playroom in the basement one evening while they watched a “grown up movie”—with specific instructions that I not come upstairs until they came and got me for bedtime. Of course I didn’t listen, and I walked up the stairs, cracked the door enough to see the TV, and caught the scene of Ripley’s nightmare with the chest burster. Like right where she’s pulling up the gown to show it coming out of her chest. Son of a bitch. I don’t think I ever watched the rest of the movie. Years later, I stayed over at a friends house—must have been 7 or 8, and they had “don’t give a gently caress” parents. They put on Aliens and every motherfucker in that house fell asleep in about 20 mins but me. I’ve got some ratty old half-rear end blanket on the floor of their dirty rear end living room, the AC is cranked to the max, and I’m there shivering on the floor, glued to the TV and unable to look away. I can’t sleep. I can’t find the remote to turn it off. I’ve never been able to sleep if there’s a tv on, I can’t tune it out. I watch the whole thing and when the screen turns to static I fall asleep to the most vivid nightmares of my life. This is the reason I love Aliens to this day.

The Zombie Guy posted:Just watched The Predator (2018). It had its funny moments (Keegan Michael-Key and Thomas Jane were the best part), but it was pretty Meh, given the source material that they had to work with. In the theater, during the scene towards the end when the ship is taking off and the guy's legs get cut off by the force field, my brother shouts "Lieutenant Dan!" Other than that, a pretty forgettable movie. I liked Predators more. Has there been any mention of the sequels other than Scott saying he has scripts?

When I saw Final Destination in the theater, toward the end when the girl gets hit by the bus, some black dude at the back yelled out in complete earnest surprise “oh poo poo! Bitch got hit by a bus!” The theater had been dead silent the entire movie up until that point, and then uproarious laughter. Perfect theater experience 11/10.

My theater comedian memory was watching Mortal Kombat: Annihilation and the end where Raiden puts everything back to what it was in the beginning pissed off a viewer so much he cried out "gently caress THAT poo poo!" Brother, we were all thinking that.

I kind of liked the ending of A.I.: Artificial Intelligence. Finally had that weird Kubrick feel of  that was hinted at if you knew that he was initially was interested in working on it. Then it went full Spielberg with the saccharine tone.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Fantastic casting on both counts. The authenticity and ferocity (the latter being especially true in Ermey's case, Jesus Christ) is simply something that cannot be replicated by any level of acting. The wake-up scene was great since it had all the small character details like Apone grabbing the cigar and then later on Hudson gets roasted by Vasquez / talking trash. I like how it's a similar strategy Alien used to define the characters and their personality elements before all hell breaks lose for the "creature feature" part of the film. Like how you can tell the they don't take Gorman seriously due his lack of actual combat experiences and have fun trying to ruin his serious briefing to the drop ship team.
