Ironic given that they are the most un-mammalian creatures I can imagine. Except I guess the silly comic book guys imagined them pretty mammalian.

If you must design a woman-xenomorph, either make it out of ovaries or at the very least make it look like a voluptuous Venus Figurine.

Watched Aliens for the first time in a long time. Never realized before that from her perspective, the queen is just having the worst day ever. Things were going great, lots of hosts for facehuggers, plenty of peace and quiet to lay eggs. Then these assholes come along, gently caress up the nice warm reactor, murder most of the drones, and then this crazy lady sets the hatchery on fire. What the gently caress? So the queen follows her to space, just to try to find out what's going on, a small robot gets in the way so she gets rid of that, then an even bigger robot comes out of a closet and falls on her and then pushes her into space. Just sucks.

Evil Dead remake was pretty good. I’m reading that synopsis as a “first encounter”, hence my skepticism, but maybe I’m wrong. I’d like to see Resurrection’s “corporate experimentation” revisited

They're all grumpy middle-aged people griping about their paychecks. Barely any of the Marines in Aliens come across as 'young', either. IDK if any of them were supposed to be fresh recruits, but they don't act like it. Anyway that's just to say that I think the concern about the word "young" in the plot synopsis of the upcoming film, is warranted. I certainly don't want to see an attempt to turn the franchise into some YA poo poo where teenagers save the world.

His one line in the last supper being that he's going to bed early instead of partying because he has a fever and "I'm burnin' up", so loving good lol

I'd like for it to be dealt with more directly - e.g. the xenomorph saying "This is for the uggos!" as its inner jaw punches through the actor's face.

Gripweed posted:yeah Dutch won because he became more of the jungle than the Predator was  There are a couple of threads that come together there in the end: Dutch realizes that the Predator only hunts those who are a threat, saving Anna when she picks up the rifle, leading to his discovery that the creature uses thermal imaging to hunt (mud-covered crawling out of the river he fell into). Dutch realizes that a one-on-one gunfight is useless due to the monster's agility, camo, general durability, and weapons. It becomes a neat reverse of where they're at during the start of the film, with minimal knowledge and maximum firepower. Pretty much everything that made his squad the Rah-Rah Sexual Tyrannosaur Badasses is meaningless: guns, muscles, machismo, overconfidence. Dutch has to instead rely on simple traps, misdirection, tactical planning (and a shitload of luck). Dutch succeeds where Billy failed, probably because Billy was treating it as some kind of 1v1 with an equal foe while the Predator was still in Hunt mode. As mentioned before, Dutch doesn't actually fare very well in the knuckle-duster fight, but he's prepared so he's not pinning all his hopes on being saved by raw manpower and muscles. Probably the best part of the ending is that chiasmus of Dutch going from Prey to Predator, with the same happening to the monster.
