Obviously, you're not putting the little girl in charge. And yet in retrospect, maybe that would be the best decision.

Yeah, this got the biggest audience laugh of any lines when it first came out in 1986. I can’t even remember how many times I went to see it, but this got the biggest one every time. “Get away from her you bitch!” got an overall bigger reaction, but it was more squeals of excitement and cheers.

My favorite line in the movie is...  Ripley lays out her plan which is completely logical and Hudson just says immediately fuckin' A. She's god drat right. Let's do this poo poo. edit: timestamp corrected, hudson does a 180 in 2 seconds lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnHmUk_J6xQ&t=22s Pennywise the Frown fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Sep 10, 2023 |

redshirt posted:That was one of the most brilliant parts of Aliens. You got all these gung ho Marines with lots of guns, and Newt is like "it won't matter". And she's right, and super smart, and hides at all the right times. That's one of the things about the marines, you can tell they don't really know what they're doing and that their real job is mostly putting the boots to colonists.

So what happened to the hamsters in Aliens? We see hamster cages when they are first entering Hadley's Hope. Did the Aliens get them, Newt eat them to survive, or was there a hamster colony safe and snug somewhere before they got nuked for no reason.

Icon Of Sin posted:Alien has an increasingly-desperate crew still grieving the gnarly death of one of their own, while also trying to dodge the thing that ate its way out of his chest and is growing at a frightening rate and picking off the remaining crew one by one. No blood found when Parker recovered the flame unit, so the assumption is that Dallas got taken somewhere while still alive (and probably going to become another host, somehow). I wonder, given how fast the thing grows, if the crew ever worried about or considered that it could get too big for the Nostromo itself? FOr all they knew, that fucker might get 30 feet tall and start busting holes in the ship. Or, they could use it's enormous size to their advantage by staying in small tight areas.

I don't know if it was an acting choice on the part of the background extra or a direction but the hand reaching into frame to get the paperwork back when she dramatically snatches it up to accentuate "this bullshit" and her pulling it further away before slamming it back on the table is absolutely inspired.

I reinstalled AvP2010 last night because I felt like playing a xeno and I don't think there are any recent games that do that. It's fun. Gonna do the campaign until I get bored which will be pretty fast probably.
