I liked Aliens: Labyrinth because I'm a huge fan of Killian Plunkett's art. Also Aliens: Salvation for Mike Mignola's art. As a kid I liked the 1st 2 Dark Horse Aliens volumes, though the art in the 1st one by Mark A. Nelson didn't resonate as much as volume 2's Denis Beauvais.

Gargamel Gibson posted:Yo, Xenomrph (and others), what are some good recent Alien comics? FWIW I liked Dead Orbit, thought the William Gibson Alien³ was interesting but a bit meh, and thought the Defiance series started out strong but kind of ran out of steam at some point. Any other newish ones worth checking out? For comics, I really liked Aliens: Dust to Dust. For novels, Aliens: The Cold Forge is good stuff.

I listened to Cold Forge on Audible. It was pretty good. For some reason I picture Dorian as Christoph Wlatz.

The first comic issue of Alien - The Original Screenplay came out today, it has some of the same beats as the main movie we know and love but a lot is different from the characters to their ship being called Snark. Yeah, really. The Alien ship is different and so is the space jockey who can be seen on the cover:

Hey, how old were you when you saw Alien, Aliens, or read any of the comics? Think about that for a second. I rented Aliens from the library at age 9. "Are you sure?", they ask. Dammit, I've been looking at the thing the last ten times we've been to the library! The huge smiles on my parents' faces should have clued me in. It did not. The body horror was what got me. Yeah, the product is terrifying. The process is worse. Grandma just died of cancer, so it seemed to me like the disease personified. Walking, stalking death. The cats freaked me out for weeks after we got to Hicks peeping through the ceiling and I noped out behind the couch. Now I love the whole concept. Anything by Jodorowsky is a huge hit with me. Metabaron, Incal, it always touches on the squishier, darker side of things. Brzezinski, Giger, Nabakov, Ballard, Grant Naylor. All good. But there is hope and a degree of normalcy in all their stories. The exomorph, though. That has always been, for me, the avatar of pure malice. No light there. Tetragrammaton, insane stuntdrivers, the Polymorph, all these things can be overcome. Not the bugs. They just kill your rear end. So. Thinking about Aliens, balls on your face ain't that bad.

I must have been about 8-10 years old when I first saw Alien. It was a really good memory. A family friends' family was having a big cook out in their backyard and they had a big projector. This must have been the early 90s. I remember I tried smoked salmon for the first time from a fish with the head still on. I wasn't a fan. I think it was the eyes looking at me. Well we watched Jaws on it, and that's a different story. To this day that's still one of the best movies I've ever seen (besides Aliens). When we finished that my friend's dad took us up into the attic to pick another movie. My friend wanted Superman but I saw Alien and thought, hey this has gotta be fun. ET was great! Yeah.... It was a party of adults so my friend's dad went with Alien. I was scared shitless but I'll never forget that experience. I don't remember the first time I saw Aliens the whole way through for the first time. I do remember watching the last part of it in my parent's bedroom and I was freaking out when Bishop got ripped apart and my mom trying to calm me down saying he was the good guy. Then I saw the power loader thing and that was just awesome.

You're good people. Everytime I get in a work truck it feels like the loading dock scene. "Where do you want it?"

My ex is freaking out about the idea of letting my 9.5 year old kid watch Predator. I don't remember anything overly horrible with that movie (?) but I could be remembering that from seeing it on TV so much and not remembering the cut parts. He's seen T1 and T2 plus Alien 1 and 2 with no side effects. I haven't seen uncut Predator in a while but worse thing I remember is the skinned soldiers.

The attack on the rebel camp is pretty ’A Team’ in terms of violence. I think the giant hole in Blaine and the son of a bitch’s arm getting blown off (along with the skinned and gutted bodies mentioned earlier) are the icky bits. Profanity I’ll trust imdb here: quote:24 uses of gently caress (in which 8 are paired with mother), and 2 in Spanish, many uses of poo poo. Other words like bitch, rear end, drat, goddamn, hell. A couple uses of stronger language like pussy, human being, cocksucker.

Predator is definitely gorier than Aliens. Aliens saves the really gory bits for the guy who bleeds cum. Torquemada posted:The attack on the rebel camp is pretty ’A Team’ in terms of violence.

Apparently, Predator earns it's R rating mainly from a ton of f-bombs and graphic violence. I honestly don't remember the language and thought "You're one ugly motherfucker" was the isolated fbomb but, like I said, grew up watching it on TBS and mainstream cable channels so of course it was cleaned up. I made the same mistake with Terminator 1 and had forgotten a few "adult leaning" segments in that one since I had mainly watched it cut for TV. My boy hears me say "gently caress" probably ten times a week so whatever on that but I don't want to get blindsided by some insanely grisly scene I had memory holed either. He wants to watch Robocop and that's a hard "no" because yeah. Maybe Starship Troopers. I think he'd like that. And speaking of watching movies with kids (and this has nothing to do with the thread) I showed him the original Clash of the Titans last night and, whoa. There's a naked breast feeding scene in that thing right in the beginning which I didn't remember at all. I just let it go with no comment and he didn't ask about it but I always thought that movie was rated PG. Was not expecting titties.

Ha on Clash of the Titans, same thing happened to me. I watched with my nephew a year ago and was hyping it up. My sister ask about the rating, yeah no problemo, it's PG. boobies. That was the first thing he said when she asked how it was. As a kid we had a recording of Predator on VHS, watched it about everyday. It was the TV version. Bought it a few years back as an adult and oh boy is that way better than I remember. Let the kiddo watch it.

Wait how old does a kid have to be to see Robocop? I'd have said 10 is definitely fine.

They stopped it at the acid tank scene, they wanted to stop it at murphy's death, thinking it was too much for us. We thought it was hilarious and wanted to see it on rewind.

Last year, I showed Predator to my class of 18 year-olds at an all girls Catholic school. They hated it.  They loved Terminator 2 though. This year, for the film production assessment, I used some of Martin Asbury's Alien 3 storyboards as exemplars, putting them up against screenshots from the film. Somehow, I didn't get yelled at by head of faculty for that. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Aug 9, 2020 |
