Aliens without the Amanda scene just isn't the same movie. It's such a thematic layup I'm amazed it didn't make the theatrical cut.

Does anyone have the link to that online shop that makes screen-accurate reproductions of Dallas' jacket and Brett's hat? I did a quick search for 'hat' ITT and the CineD one but couldn't find the link, just photos of someone's order.

Hmm, no, that's close though. The site had bespoke Brett's hats that looked really good, and Dallas' jacket, and they were pricey. I think the hat was $55. They also had replica ashtrays from the Nostromo.

I am just a little excited. $775 for the flight suit, on the commentary didn't Ridley say they were just actual flight suits they dressed up a bit or something? Can probably get the real thing for a lot less. I might actually get that Nostromo patch though omg

Would you rather fight a hundred duck-sized Leatherfaces, or one Leatherface-sized duck  Face-huggers are small but disgusting, but I feel like a kitten-sized xeno would be adorable. Until it ate my face off, of course.

They're still chaos elementals though. I haven't read much of the extended xeno universe, but the movies make me think that I couldn't make buddies with a xeno, even if they were teeny-tiny.

I once had a feral kitten get inside my house when I lived in the country. Tracking that thing down and getting it back outside resulted in getting a lot more hosed up than I’ve gotten in fights with other humans.

I have scars from over ten years ago from trying to help an adult kitty adjust to a new home, but because they'd been abused by previous 'owners' i.e. worst scum on Earth, the kitty was very much afraid of humans, and everything else, really. But that kitty didn't want to murder me, he wasn't even going for any major arteries, he was just so, so afraid all the time  A kitten-sized xeno, on the other hand, would go for the kill, right?

Almost a third of that video is about fuzzy murder babies being helpful to humans. Would a tiny xeno tell you you have cancer, or would it burrow into your chest and eat everything it found? Hmm?

Cessna posted:I can only assume the cat threw up the chestburster onto a rug like a hairball. Yeah if we just go by the films it's reasonable to say that cats are a natural predator of the Xenomorph and probably don't feel particularly threatened by them overall in addition to a fear of cats being a deeply genetically programmed aspect of the Xenomorphs. Like in Alien when the xenomorph encounters Brett, instead of eating or/and eggmorphing him right there he immediately grabs him and flees upon realizing Jones is there and not looking too happy. Then later in the film when the Xenomorph encounters Jones a second time, even though this time Jones is securely locked in a cat carrier, upon realizing it's Jones the Xenomorph immediately bats the entire carrier away in a panic and flees to the escape ship. It seemed more than happy to just pick the crew off over time until it saw Jones again.
