I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

SO DAMN PSYCHED FOR THIS.

**MPFlapp** · 10-01-2012, 11:50 AM

nothing beats a lady with positive direct request -

**mattB** · 10-01-2012, 11:52 AM

Fuckin' A!

**MPFlapp** · 10-01-2012, 11:55 AM

Not watched this in a while - was a staple for years from video...

On the big screen it looks and sounds incredible...

**babycart** · 10-01-2012, 11:59 AM

Aliens are crap. Predators breed them like pheasants for hunting.

**babycart** · 10-01-2012, 12:03 PM

and Ridley Scott's not even the best director in his family.

**mattB** · 10-01-2012, 12:10 PM

Ignoring certain absurd Predator-related comments

...

Did anyone click on the image above? It's not from Aliens.
Here are some bits and pieces to get you interested:

There are many theories about how the eggs got aboard the derelict.
The nature of the derelict and its crew are a mystery, left intentionally
unanswered by the original crew that produced Alien. A definitive answer
could be given to viewers in Prometheus

If the Alien can transform people into eggs (per the Alien Director's
Cut), how does the egg-laying Queen fit in?
It is possible that a definitive answer will be given in Prometheus.

DROOOOOL

Yes, but the Alien tangent was just to appealing

@babycart - just wait fella - the (feared) Jamaican Voodoo Posse will be round

Don't want to be a wet blanket but wouldn't it be interesting (or watchable even) if they tried to make a sci-fi / action film without CG?

I don't think i've seen a CG film that didn't feel like watching a cartoon.

**mattB** · 10-01-2012, 01:01 PM

You think Alien/Aliens was only about CG?

**bongolia** · 10-01-2012, 01:16 PM

not seen Alien or Aliens, but after reading these synopses i found on the internet i'm not sure what the fuss is?

ALIEN: Ship fails to deliver cargo, crew don’t get bonus.
ALIENS: An unplanned pregnancy leads to complications.

WTF?!? Did you see an early screening?? Thanks for the spoiler mate.

**Expiry2011** · 10-01-2012, 01:22 PM

err, i think you're confused, i was talking about the original films!

**mattB** · 10-01-2012, 01:34 PM

Oops. Too keen to post a smart-arse comment.

**babycart** · 10-01-2012, 01:38 PM

I don't remember Ripley being Irish?

I watched Alien with my kid over christmas on a small screen. He thought it was boring and so dark you could hardly see anything. ISTR Aliens is a bit better.

I've also been worried about the inconsistencies in alien reproduction and life cycles. Anyone might think that they obeyed the demands of film plots rather than natural selection.

**eric-adams** · 10-01-2012, 01:45 PM

love the alien films (ignoring number 4) got the lot on extended bluray for £15 on amazon recently, intend to spend a day watching them all soon.

i spent a whole day watching The Extended lord of the rings trilogy over christmas

this new Aliens ish film looks wicked.
onle seen the advert on youtube so far though. hoping to stay away from spoilers untill it comes out

what about that budget sci fi movie from last year about the couple trecking through an alien infested mexico, from memory pretty low on cgi and holds up well. can't remember the name.

It was made by a director who started out in CGI, and I think there was quite a bit, just a bit more low key. I was fooled by a lot of the landscapes.

Can't remember any effects in Moon, but it was a bit boring and could have used a horde of rampaging mantis-faced jabberwocks, to be honest.

It was directed by his son Moon Unit.

How about running a sweep on the first cast member to be offed? My Moneys on Rafe Spall.

most people like Monsters. ill give it another go.

Skyline can sod right off though
and battle los angeles can as well

**Filthy Rich** · 10-01-2012, 02:41 PM

I thought that Ridley Scott had said that Prometheus was not part of the Alien series and wouldn't shed any light on any of that stuff? Or was that some kind of red herring?

It's a road movie/indictment of US involvement in Central Asia/ commentary on immigration policy, amongst other things.

I just worry that the director has been tapped for the next Hollywood Godzilla abortion. The octopus coupling scene was great, though.

sc fi without CGI. first Alien film. Original Star Wars. Classic Doctor who?

and many more. If ever there was a genre where more is less, this is it.

Skyline was also made by CGI whizz-kids. But in that case they seemed to decide that a script was completely unnecessary.

Glad we're actually talking about this.
I hadnt read that and it will be dissapointing if that's the case after what Ive read.
Still looks cool though.
