the predator honor system is mostly just expanded universe bullshit that wasnt supported in the first movie imo. the Predator likes to hunt people. so he brings a laser gun and a cloaking system to hunt people and while these weapons may not be the best predator technology has to offer it still gives it an unfair advantage over its prey just like how a gun and camouflage give a hunter an unfair advantage over game. when Dutch outsmarts it he has also managed to break its guns and cloak so it decided to fight in hand to hand combat because what else was it going to do at that point? It might also make a cool story to tell other Predators...

What version did you watch?

Here’s a discussion topic that I don’t think has made the rounds in a while, what version of the movie do people prefer, and why?

I prefer the theatrical cut but my “ideal” version would have elements from both, and maybe some of the other deleted scenes that didn’t make it into either cut.

i prefer the theatrical cuts of Alien and Aliens because they have better pacing since imo most of the scenes included in the director's cut are really unnecessary and slow the movies down.

i agree its a cool scene but is also unnecessary to the plot and slows the escape sequence down to a crawl

Is the end of Critters 4 a riff on the end of Alien3?

You have a formerly good character come back as the villain at the end.

they came out too close together for it to be anything but coincidence

Alien Resurrection is mostly ruined by Whedon's "every character is a white male teenager" dialogue. It's got great character actors, it succeeds in being hosed up poo poo, but it has a hard time emotionally resonating because it's written by a man-child and like SMG says it ends up corny and pointless.

Weaver had wanted Ripley to end up loving an alien since at least Aliens IIRC. It's not exactly waaay out there that you could declare that subtext is for cowards when it comes to the penis monsters.

i agree

So it's saying the US was correct in trying to remove an infestation of insects and the only problem was that the US underestimated them?

I never thought that Cameron was making Starship Troopers just played straight.

George Lucas made the Ewoks an NVA/VC allegory, but still gave them the agency to decide to help the Rebel Alliance. And he cast the Evil Empire in the role of the US forces in the jungle.

the directors cut of aliens is too bloated imo. the only scene that i think was important and shouldnt have been cut from the theatrical version is the stuff about ripley's daughter the rest is just unnecessary imo

The point isn’t if Vietnam can or can’t be classified as a war, that’s liberal pedantry, the point is the US foreign policy that gave the US the excuse to instigate a civil war in a third world country is the same now as it was in the 60s. The “Vietnam war” for the United States never ended, it just rebranded and shifted demographics.
