After James Remar got fired, Michael Biehn’s agent called to ask if he had a passport, then he was on his way to England.

I hadn’t seen the deleted scene before of the colony pre-disaster. Agreed it was good to cut for pacing, but cool to see how the place was run.

The Aliens tabletop game is infamous for having a ridiculous amount of calculations for a simple rifle shot. Zack Parsons wrote up an enjoyable adventure where Hudson and crew battle a wizard: http://www.thebadguyswin.com/2017/03/aliens-adventure-game-1991-the-hunt-for-elminster/

When I first watched I had no idea Paul Reiser was going to be evil. When he turns off the camera feed, so great

I saw Prometheus without watching the trailer and thought it was ok. Covenant was utter garbage.

Agreed it is cool when Blade Runner and Isolation take the effort to replicate tech and the timeline. That bugs me about Star Trek Discovery, their monitors and equipment is better than on DS9.

The podcast I Was There Too has a fantastic two part interview with Jenette Goldstein. I think one part is available for free and the second is behind an Earwolf paywall, but worth it. So much Aliens info!

I saw both Alien and Aliens in large-format at the Toronto Cinesphere a few months back, and the audience was animated as gently caress, hollering after "get away from her you bitch!" and a handful of people were reciting Hudson's lines as they happened.

The best moment of audience reaction I've experienced in a theatre though, was for The Matrix: Reloaded on opening night. Remember that cliffhanger ending right before RATM kicks in and the credits roll? Imagine a theatre packed with 300 nerds, many in hilarious cosplay, simultaneously groaning and yelling in something between anger and appreciation. It was palpable.

Good audience reactions have been making a comeback. A Quiet Place, Get Out, and 10 Cloverfield Lane all benefitted from having a great crowd.
