You'd have godzilla xenmorphs instead like how when they return to earth after a long time in Planet of the Monsters and the entire ecology and every animal is Godzilla-adjacent

For only $864 you can shoot a xenomorph at the range. No lie, I kinda want this.

The nature of Etsy is that reviews for all products by a seller are shown on every page for that seller, with a link to the product that was bought. I got a really nice Weyland Yutani logo tee from Etsy a few weeks back, much better prices there than those merch sites like Last Exit.

Been thinking about Aliens Fireteam a lot. It's a really good game. Haven't been this pleasantly surprised since doom2016. E: only complaints are you can't see poo poo through flamethrowers (who cares because it looks awesome) and I want more maps old beast lunatic fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Sep 10, 2021 |

Last nitpick is I wish they could've used the movie soundtrack. The stuff they have isn't bad at all it's just that tuba heavy action music is as much "Aliens" to me as the pulse rifle sound.

Speaking of Aliens music, I'll always remember first seeing the ending and realizing, "Holy poo poo THIS is where that music comes from!" Up to that point I had honestly thought "Bishop's Countdown" was just some kind of generic library music made for use in movie trailers and such. I was instantly filled with pride that such an iconic piece of media history came from Aliens (I'd already been a fan for years having seen Alien and Alien3). What's everyone's favorite trailer (or whatever) to make use of Aliens' score? I think mine's Misery: https://youtu.be/XHQ9CPRfDsw

David Copperfield gets points for not just doing a needle drop but giving us a sampler of the whole Aliens soundtrack album. Thanks, Mr. Copperfield! https://youtu.be/4DcxK19Lx9E

The soundtrack is clearly well-composed by someone who respects the source material, but yeah it's a bit much at times. The orchestration during Giants In the Earth felt like something out of a Star Wars game.

Because it was James Horner's MO to basically cobble together his scores from his previous work and random classical pieces (something he was shameless and unapologetic about - the guy was doing samples and mashups in orchestral form before it was even a thing), it means trailers were using Aliens music before Aliens even existed! https://youtu.be/XIKOY7ZASlU

Chunks of Aliens' score in particular are from Horner's score for Wrath of Khan and it owns that the music is so effective in two sci-fi movies that couldn't be more different.

Goldie Hawn thriller with the dad from Home Alone? Bishop's Countdown makes it work. https://youtu.be/YjRVKP1pGPM George Clooney. Quentin Tarantino. But the REAL star: Aliens music. https://youtu.be/6RF0hYk7tc8?t=51s

Even as a Horner fan it's hard not to think he's just being lazy when you hear him reference the same Russian ballet for the tenth time, but in the Star Trek II & Aliens example you can kind of see his point that you didn't necessarily have to be so strict about melodies in an hour-plus movie score whose main function was mood setting and pacing, because they each come off as very distinct works despite all the similarities. In this clip Horner tosses in portions of his Ceti Alpha V music from Star Trek, Khachaturian's Gayane ballet suite, and his Wolfen theme all into a blender and sets it to a pounding military rhythm. If it's plagiarism it's at least creative plagiarism, and drat if it isn't effective: https://youtu.be/aHjRQJZsUGg

The M56 is particularly satisfying when you realize you can unlock and look away and it will still fire at your target.

Yeah I don't mean to poo poo on the soundtrack because I do love the obvious care that went into parts to make it sound alien-y. If I could have some of the movie soundtrack I'd like it in adition to instead of a replacement. I think I've decided i'm only going to use the flamethrower with friends or solo because i just can't not feel like an rear end in a top hat using it. An awesome rear end in a top hat.

I get a giggle every time a friend gets pounced by a Prowler and I declare “I WILL SAVE YOU” and then use the flamethrower to get it off my friend. I’m helping!

I don't like the flamethrowers, but I've come to love the flame turret. It's really great at mopping up all the chaff that makes it to your line.

Hey friends, is there a particular blu-ray pack that includes Aliens director's cut and the assembly cut of Alien 3? I have a friend that hasn't seen the movies and I want to make sure he sees the turret scene in Aliens, and assembly cut isn't nearly as bad as the theatrical release. Also, in case this hasn't been posted yet: NERF pulse rifle
