ALIEN(Aliens)-Live Chat-Thur Jan 13,2005

[esc]

ALIEN Live Chat on MSN set for Thursday January 13th at 6pacific, 7Mountain,8central, 9eastern. email or PM me if you are not sure what time zone you are in or if you are overseas. if you are going to participate in the chat, please show up a few minutes early so you can be added to the chat window and get a couple things set up. We will be watching the theatrical cut of ALIEN as it is Ridley Scott's preferred version of the film, and not the new 'extended cut'. We will continue the fun with the director's cut of ALIENS afterward if people want to keep going.

The transcript of the chat will be posted here about an hour after the films wraps, with continuing chat happening in this thread and on MSN Messenger.

Please do not post anything to this thread until the film is finished on Thursday and everyone has watched it together. There is a thread in Software to post questions and comments and suggest other films.

There is a link in my signature below to the original thread in Software and the hotmail address that connects to the MSN messenger account where everyone has been chatting.

[Morticia]

Just to add some history -- see the prior discussion.

[Sycho]

so.. we going in 2 hours? If I don't like this movies, you guys are in shit, deep shit.

[tomdkat]

I'm "gaim" to participate, but 6:00 pm PST is too early for me as I'll most likely still be at work.

If I can join in when I get home, I'll certainly do so.

Peace...

[Sycho]

oh, I forgot the your on the west coast, well I have class at 9am, so i don't want to start any later then 8pm

[EM3]

Drunk again with a late film and a doctors appointment at 8am with bloodwork. I'm screwed and not in a good way.

[esc]

wow. and not a single comment relating to the film. anyway, transcript should be here by late on the 14th. it was pretty fun especially towards the end when i was really getting into it.

[aedavela]

It was a great time. Did anyone stay and watch Aliens?

Nevermind, answered in the thread in Software.

DanishDVDfreak says:
First time ? NICE
SephirothClone says:
i love the creation of the A L I E N logo, wonderful stuff
Sycho says:
I like how they do the title, seen it in the trailer
esc says:
very nice slow opening sequence, droning ambient 'music'
projecteightysix says:
It's not scary don't worry. its very scary when you're like 5 though
DanishDVDfreak says:
Simple, yet very powerfull
SephirothClone says:
Goldsmith did amazing music here
esc says:
0:01:05 yay! bilbo baggins is in the credits
SephirothClone says:
Ridley has really lost it
esc says:
ya, i think he had geat vision and talent back around the time of ALIEN, but now he's lost something, i coul be proved wrong in the future though. he seems to be getting alot of work!
EM3 says:
I need headphones ... I can't disturd the wife
DanishDVDfreak says:
I always liked Ridley´s movies
Sycho says:
is there any funny parts in the movie, like in the way people die ?
DanishDVDfreak says:
No real funny deaths...its not Final Destination hehe
DanishDVDfreak says:
So...who watching the Quadrilogy and who watching the Legacy version ?
esc says:
0:03:10 slooow moving shots through the ship setting the mood. you just wouldn't get stuff lie this in todays sci fi or horror films ... it just has to be BANG BANG BANG RIGHT INTO THE KILLIN' AND ACTION !
Sycho says:
wtf is moving in the background?
EM3 says:
Not much on setting the mood now are they?
esc says:
0:04:05 i always found that helmet to be super creepy. when i was young i never knew if it was someone sitting there or what and then the computer noises started and i was freaked
DanishDVDfreak says:
This is really one of my favorite openings to a film EVER
Sycho says:
why ?
esc says:
thats great the way the clothes blow back as the door opens
Sycho says:
oh nice! half nude people!
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yey...nekkid Bilbo
projecteightysix says:
woot!
esc says:
0:05:40 everyone was suppsed to be nekkid in this scene in the sleep pods, but it was changed during filming or pre production
EM3 says:
Sensors would of went nuts
SephirothClone says:
haha
esc says:
0:06:20 John Hurt is the first to wake up and he seems to really breath in 'life' there as he wakes. great shot as its his last day alive
Sycho says:
hey!! i haven't seen this
Sycho says:
smoking in space? tis tis tis
esc says:
.... and the HALON system goes off and kills them all
DanishDVDfreak says:
End of movie hehe
SephirothClone says:
exactly what I'd be doing, waking up, having a cigarette and drinking coffee
projecteightysix says:
Alien will never hold up to the awesomeness of AVP
esc says:
balshpemy!
SephirothClone says:
AVP sucked ass
Sycho says:
when do people start dying?
esc says:
0:08:20 this key entry system to Mother is awesome
DanishDVDfreak says:
86, I HOPE you are kidding !!
projecteightysix says:
yes of course haha
SephirothClone says:
it top 5 worst of the year
DanishDVDfreak says:
phew .... I was about to suggest you be banned from this chat hehehe
SephirothClone says:
how could you like that shit?
SephirothClone says:
it had no horror elements , just aliens and predators fighting
projecteightysix says:
My dad does. .... Hes a weirdo though
projecteightysix says:
he likes Godzilla and junk
EM3 says:
this remindes me of 2001
esc says:
i love how in this new print of the film Mother's lights are gold, they were always faded and white on VHS
esc says:
ya, this film is very similar to 2001 in alot of respects
SephirothClone says:
true
esc says:
very slow pace, little dialogue ...
SephirothClone says:
except, 2001 really allowed for us to feel like were in space, an endless void
DanishDVDfreak says:
This is more claustrophobic
SephirothClone says:
while Alien makes us feel confined and claustrophobic
esc says:
0:10:40 oh oh... they are off course
EM3 says:
Didn't Onse Upon a Time in the West have only 20pages of script also?
SephirothClone says:
i never heard that before
SephirothClone says:
all the face closeups and what not may have added nearly and hour or so
DanishDVDfreak says:
If you haven´t allready, watch this with the Ridley Scott commentary...its SOOO good
esc says:
yes, he usually does do excellent commentaries
EM3 says:
This has the same feeling of Das Boot for claustrophobia
Adam says:
Both tracks with him are great
SephirothClone says:
yeah, but you never feel complete fear in Das Boot like you do in here
DanishDVDfreak says:
Das Boot has a very claustrophobic feel, yes
DanishDVDfreak says:
true
esc says:
i'd have to say that Das Boot is the most closed in claustrophobic movie ever. with 2001 and Die hard up there too
DanishDVDfreak says:
We should do Das Boot someday
EM3 says:
There is something very primal about small spaces and life and death struggle
esc says:
0:13:25 wow.. very amazing effects shot of the planets for 1979
esc says:
something else about this film thats great is the sound design. when the countdown was going on there was that great echo... comes up later im the film too
aedavela says:
yeah, that echo is pretty good, also that you can't always understand what they're saying
projecteightysix says:
my dad took my mom to see this during their honeymoon
Sycho says:
lol
DanishDVDfreak says:
My mom wouldn´t let me watch this when I was younger
esc says:
mine either
projecteightysix says:
Mine either but my dad let me sneak and watch it with him once. i was scared poopless
DanishDVDfreak says:
But I saw it at a friends house
esc says:
i had to sneak out of bed and hide on the stairs to watch it
SephirothClone says:
hah, my parents never gave a fuck what i watched ... i saw my first porno at the age of 6 , and i saw Evil Dead when i was 9
DanishDVDfreak says:
lol
projecteightysix says:
well arent you just the coolest
DanishDVDfreak says:
hehe
aedavela says:
my parents just stuck to showing us tykes R-rated flicks
Sycho says:
i think it's time to listen to billy talent
projecteightysix says:
gah sycho you have no attention span haha
Sycho says:
no
esc says:
0:15:40 something else that adds to the tension and fear atmosphere of alien is that it is never really spelled out for you whats wrong with the ship, whats been damaged in the landing, you cant really hear what they are saying on the bridge, its all very vague and we are just sort of left with our heads spinning and in the dark
SephirothClone says:
totally agree
DanishDVDfreak says:
And thats the greatest way to do suspense/horror
aedavela says:
damn i gotta pause i'm about eight minutes ahead
Sycho says:
how?
EM3 says:
Let your mind run with it
SephirothClone says:
this film sorta hypnotizes you and fucks you over with these uncomfortable feelings of anxiety and claustrophobia
aedavela says:
it's like those haunted house terror flicks
SephirothClone says:
yeah
SephirothClone says:
the blue lighting is great
Sycho says:
what blue lights ?
SephirothClone says:
there was slight blue lighting roughly 30 sec ago , in a room with John Hurt
esc says:
and on the bottom of the ship
Sycho says:
oh
aedavela says:
they were playing the score to this on XM earlier this afternoon
EM3 says:
Amazing how cigarettes survived so far into the future
esc says:
0:19:40 behold!!! an actual screen, with ascii characters! not CG or updated so its more in keeping with modern times
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yay...Ridley didn´t do the Lucas thing
esc says:
did the captain just say they had weapons ?? where do the wepons go later when all hell breaks loose ?
SephirothClone says:
continuity issue is found
DanishDVDfreak says:
Those are actually kids in the suits, shot next to a model
so it looks bigger
aedavela says:
Ridley Scott's kids
DanishDVDfreak says:
yep
esc says:
0:21:25 once again, you cant see whats going on, lots of static on the monitor screens
SephirothClone says:
where were the weapons?
aedavela says:
i've always thought that this has to be one of the best 2nd directing jobs in movie history. anyone else think so?
SephirothClone says:
no
DanishDVDfreak says:
I agree
esc says:
yes. its awesome, especially if you watch some of the behind the scenes stuff and see what he did before and during shooting
EM3 says:
What's 1st
SephirothClone says:
not even top 50 for moi
Sycho says:
2001?
DanishDVDfreak says:
i'd say ... Legend
SephirothClone says:
Legend?! haha!
projecteightysix says:
I've never seen legend, ive been tempted to pick it up but never did
DanishDVDfreak says:
Legend is very cool

Taxi has been added to the conversation.

SephirothClone says:
Taxi is here?!
SephirothClone says:
w00t!
aedavela says:
uh oh, admins in the hizzie
Taxi says:
Yeah, you guys better watch what you say now.
Sycho says:
wtf a cat on the ship ?
esc says:
0:23:50 fricking cat... more trouble than its worth
DanishDVDfreak says:
Here comes H.R. Giger´s work
esc says:
0:24:39 i was blown away when i saw the cleaned up shots on the planet in this print, you could never make out any of what they are about to discover in the VHS or TV versions
SephirothClone says:
H.R.Giger did amazing stuff .... this film, his toys, his paintings
EM3 says:
What a genius he was
aedavela says:
is he dead?
DanishDVDfreak says:
No...hes alive
SephirothClone says:
the video footage stuff is amazingly scary
EM3 says:
Just Schizo
Sycho says:
wow
esc says:
0:26:15 3 little dots of light at the bottom of the ship... people all alone
DanishDVDfreak says:
These sets are AWESOME
esc says:
0:28:30 WOW
SephirothClone says:
that is quite an amazing creature shot
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yep
EM3 says:
I wish I had half the talent it took to do this
SephirothClone says:
the helmets are filled with heat / steam
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yhey almost had to abandon this
Sycho says:
so is it dead? [the spacejockey]
SephirothClone says:
yes
SephirothClone says:
extinct
Sycho says:
really?
aedavela says:
is that a chestburster frozen and dead in the space jockey?
DanishDVDfreak says:
studio execs thought they spent too much money on this...but they got to do it...the paint is still wet in the first show...Giger painted the last bit himself
esc says:
just looking in the BIG OSCAR BOOK ... nominated for Set Deign (lost to All That Jazz), won special effects. and thats it
SephirothClone says:
i know you're thinking it - DONT GO IN THERE!!!
SephirothClone says:
turn the lights off, EVERYONE
aedavela says:
already done
Sycho says:
no, never
DanishDVDfreak says:
and crank it up !
EM3 says:
Won't be able to see to type
esc says:
0:31:20 gettin lowerd into the chamber
esc says:
spooky .......
Sycho says:
i'm paying more attention to the chat
esc says:
its like he's being lowered down somethings spinal column
EM3 says:
What did they use to make the walls
esc says:
watch the movie more.. just glance here every once in a whle
Sycho says:
no
esc says:
hehe
DanishDVDfreak says:
creepy sounds ! hehe
DanishDVDfreak says:
I want a space egg....empty preffereably
Sycho says:
go back, for thr love of god go back
aedavela says:
ridley's hands [inside the egg]
DanishDVDfreak says:
yep
esc says:
a friend of mine's mother and father went to see this in the theater in 79 when she was pregnant with my friend's brother. during this scene she was so terrified she wanted to leave the theater, but couldnt get up because she was frozen. and they blame this film to this day for how screwed up he is.
EM3 says:
Move you idiot !
Sycho says:
ha
DanishDVDfreak says:
YEAH !!
Sycho says:
that was funny
aedavela says:
but not as funny as the spoof in spaceballs
DanishDVDfreak says:
omg
Taxi says:
okay, who let bilbo baggins in here?
SephirothClone says:
fuck Bilbo!
aedavela says:
and how did he get grow so big?
esc says:
0:36:10 damn bilbo, fucking things up
SephirothClone says:
the space helmet stuff is great
esc says:
great sound design on the craking open of the helmet
esc says:
the director before Ridley was going to use a liver and just throw it on the guys face... he was fired
EM3 says:
Sound and the music set the mood like nothig else
DanishDVDfreak says:
he looked like Alan Rickman just there hehe
DanishDVDfreak says:
That scanning chamber is so cool
Sycho says:
why don't they freeze him?
esc says:
you'll see
SephirothClone says:
yes
EM3 says:
haha! [if they removie it] Could kill him
Taxi says:
Gotta love that logic: If this alien thing that is attached to his face is taken off, it could kill him.
esc says:
there are so many rape analogies that can be drawn from this film
SephirothClone says:
the tightening of the tail is great, it adds so much realism to it
EM3 says:
Rape analogies such as choking for control?
esc says:
ya, and the thing shoved down his throat, the penis shape to the alien's head ... but Geiger has always had a phallic fixation
DanishDVDfreak says:
true
EM3 says:
Didn't think of that one
esc says:
the panting noises that Lambert makes over the headset to Ripley
Sycho says:
does the alien have a foreskin or was he circumsized?
aedavela says:
oops , acid
DanishDVDfreak says:
thats some serious shit
aedavela says:
anyone else notice in the sequels that the acid isn't that big a deal?
Taxi says:
They deal with it in Aliens.
esc says:
its still a huge deal, especially when you get it in the face , and in alien 4 the aliens use it to escape from those chambers
DanishDVDfreak says:
Hmm...its used as like a plot point in the 4th one
Taxi says:
I'm trying to forget the 4th one...
aedavela says:
yeah, but it should've taken Frost's head clean off, not just scarred it
aedavela says:
i'd like a pen that looked like Brett's
SephirothClone says:
i'd say Alien Ressurection was better directed than this film
DanishDVDfreak says:
hmmm...
SephirothClone says:
Ressurection was a terrible film
Sycho says:
shh shh shhhhhhhh
SephirothClone says:
but Junet's use of the camera was simply beautiful
esc says:
i liked Ressurection compared to 3
SephirothClone says:
so did i
EM3 says:
Everyone has here own opinion
aedavela says:
i liked the new cut of 3 a lot
SephirothClone says:
3 was just bad
esc says:
the new cut of 3 was fantastic compared to the original
Sycho says:
if i like this i'll watch them all
aedavela says:
you wont' regret it
esc says:
each one has a different director and style and genre
DanishDVDfreak says:
just dont expect the same kind of movie
esc says:
1 is horror, 2 is action, 3 is a drama, 4 is action again
SephirothClone says:
which is exactly why i disliked Alien3 so much
DanishDVDfreak says:
right
SephirothClone says:
it tried to be like the original, but failed
aedavela says:
i'd go with a terror flick, war movie, prison drama, and medical horror
SephirothClone says:
Aliens, I think, is highly overrated
EM3 says:
In my opinion 3 and 4 were out for the $
SephirothClone says:
as was Aliens
esc says:
James Cameron Rules! but he needs to get out of the pool
DanishDVDfreak says:
But SO much went wrong with Alien 3...I think Fincher did a great job trying to clean up THAT mess
EM3 says:
I think todays sequels come out too soon
aedavela says:
what's ash drinking?
esc says:
0:46:00 a bit of Star Trek command procedure there ... dont tell the captain anything .. just say 'something interesting has happened , you need to see it'
EM3 says:
the KISS principle
DanishDVDfreak says:
The set design is amazing
EM3 says:
simple yet effective
DanishDVDfreak says:
And it just looks like everything is working
SephirothClone says:
46:40 - it has detatched
Sycho says:
where is it?
aedavela says:
shut the door!
Sycho says:
shut it
Sycho says:
don't let in a draft
Taxi says:
They don't understand what they're dealing with yet.
Sycho says:
holy shit!
aedavela says:
lol
Taxi says:
Cheap "thrill".
Sycho says:
but there still a hole in the floor shuting the door won't do it will it?
DanishDVDfreak says:
What I like here is that there is NO suspense music
esc says:
ya, thats beautiful!
EM3 says:
Only a dead face hugger
aedavela says:
that's freaky
Sycho says:
throw it out
EM3 says:
Remindes me of a frog in Biology class we skinned
esc says:
the work they did on the inside of the egg and the underside of the facehugger was awesome. they used mostly dead animal parts because you just cant get rubber and foam to look that good
aedavela says:
... and fresh seafood .... i believe scott mentions that in the commentary
EM3 says:
Under those lights! the smell!
esc says:
0:50:05 first mention of 'the company' in the series ....
esc says:
0:50:30 dun dun DUN! Ash is unknown to the crew and captain. and he let it in against orders ... *whats going on* ?
Sycho says:
so are they on the planet ?
esc says:
they landed on one of the moons
EM3 says:
I haven't watched the commentary in a year
Sycho says:
YAH, good movie, see you all later
DanishDVDfreak says:
?
Sycho says:
they left the planet, isn't it ovver?
esc says:
yup, happy ending ...
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yeah...the rest is just credits hehe
Taxi says:
You can't leave before the dinner scene!
Sycho says:
why?
DanishDVDfreak says:
They ate the facehugger at lunch
DanishDVDfreak says:
Ooohhh...the DINNER scene...dun dun DUUUN !!
Taxi says:
Oh, just because.
DanishDVDfreak says:
hehe
esc says:
once again... no info given to the captian .. just 'come here, cant say more, its interesting!'
EM3 says:
again no info....
Taxi says:
Bilbo doesn't like to give details.
aedavela says:
sounds like my boss
Sycho says:
is the alien in him ??
DanishDVDfreak says:
No, it died, remember ?
Sycho says:
i read that in one of the threads
SephirothClone says:
i wonder what the black cat is eating?
Taxi says:
Ah, dinner.
esc says:
this was great. only John Hurt was told what was going to happen ... the rest of the actors were just told to react to what they were seeing, and Bilbo was given specific instructions on how to act. (we'll find out why later)
EM3 says:
didn't the other female really lose it
aedavela says:
yeah she wipes out
DanishDVDfreak says:
And you can just see the girl freaking out when all the blood shoots at her...she didn´t know it
aedavela says:
and then she tripped and you can see her feet in the air
EM3 says:
Classic
DanishDVDfreak says:
here we go
Sycho says:
i'm scared
SephirothClone says:
did eveyone eat dinner?
aedavela says:
the footage of this from the quadrilogy documentary is great
Taxi says:
Somebody get the Pepto Bismol!
esc says:
0:55:30 a slight heart beat sound in the background
aedavela says:
yep, heard it too
aedavela says:
oh no, not again!
EM3 says:
lol
esc says:
Fuck the pepto! this guy needs a priest!!!!
Sycho says:
HA
Sycho says:
he fine, walk it off
EM3 says:
Love the heartbeat
aedavela says:
nice
Taxi says:
Lots of quick POV changes as the chestburster comes out. Disorientating.
aedavela says:
the model's on a track
EM3 says:
Love the faint echo
SephirothClone says:
its kinda cute
Sycho says:
it does look like a penis
DanishDVDfreak says:
And there we have it...the dinner scene
EM3 says:
perfection
Sycho says:
where'd it go, i was typing
aedavela says:
to the bathroom
esc says:
it ran off .... somehere
Sycho says:
well it is a penis
DanishDVDfreak says:
One of the greatest scenes in cinematic history imho
Taxi says:
Too bad John Hurt had to leave the movie so soon. I like him.
EM3 says:
Freud would of had a field day with this movie
DanishDVDfreak says:
LOL
aedavela says:
the sound make of the rib bones cracking when the chestburster comes through....shudder
Sycho says:
wow, it's been a hour already, well almost
aedavela says:
so soon.? it's half over, hehe
Sycho says:
anything important happing soon ? i need a drink
esc says:
nothing major, go get a drink , just tracking the alien for a bit thru the ship
esc says:
knowing what we know about the Ash character, you'd think the science officer would have said they should have kept the body, but the funeral scene was a very nice 'family' scene
EM3 says:
First motion tracker
DanishDVDfreak says:
the motion sensors in Aliens are the coolest...just the sound is awesome
esc says:
1:00:40 neat little vehicle in the background, just something else that adds to the set design
Sycho says:
back .. ok what'd i miss?
DanishDVDfreak says:
not much
EM3 says:
not much
aedavela says:
just them talking
esc says:
they are just tracking it
Sycho says:
tracking what?
Sycho says:
Taxi says:
The little alien.
esc says:
the chestburster
Sycho says:
the cheeseburger ?
esc says:
ya!
DanishDVDfreak says:
never noticed that tracking sound before
EM3 says:
Spacesuits circa 1975
esc says:
are any of you guys going to watch Aliens after this? i think im going to sit it out
DanishDVDfreak says:
I will watch Aliens with you
SephirothClone says:
im watching Punch-Drunk Love after this
esc says:
24 for me, episodes 401 - 404
aedavela says:
i'm going to bed after this. early day at work
Taxi says:
I have a west wing on Tivo that I need to watch. I can only take so much death and destruction in one evening.
aedavela says:
DanishDVDfreak says:
So no one up for Aliens after this ?
Sycho says:
nope
EM3 says:
Dr's appt in the early am got to drive 1 hr in traffic for it.
esc says:
i guess no Aliens then
aedavela says:
i would, but it'd be too late
DanishDVDfreak says:
I´ll just do my own chat then hehe
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yeah...too late...hehe
how the fuck does the cat get itself into the locker and shut the door?
esc says:

esc says:
i have a friend sitting next to me who just keeps saying ' i just cant get over how fricking beautiful this set is'
esc says:
1:04:15 there is that heart beat again , and the skin on the floor
Sycho says:
yummy
DanishDVDfreak says:
They should flush their condoms ... really
aedavela says:
someone doesn't like skin on their chicken
esc says:
1:05:15 i think you can see the exact moment there where his brain turns on and he starts thiking for himself , rather than just saying 'ya, right'
EM3 says:
Rain in a spaceship?
Taxi says:
Condensation.
aedavela says:
condensation
esc says:
he is below the cooling unit for the engine and there is condensation
EM3 says:
Poor construction
aedavela says:
chains
esc says:
hoisting chains for heavy machinery, everything in this film is functional
DanishDVDfreak says:
yeah...nothing is there just to look good
aedavela says:
there is something hanging in them in the new cut
Taxi says:
The great part about these scenes is that we've known he's going to die for the past 5 minutes, but he's not dead yet...
Sycho says:
do you know every thing about every film esc?
esc says:
yes, i just plug a USB cable into my head every morning and download all the info i can
esc says:
i absorb information about films. the ammount of info i can cross reference has amazed many a man
DanishDVDfreak says:
Anyone know how to get a cat to hiss like that ?
aedavela says:
a dog
EM3 says:
Hiss at it
EM3 says:
works with mine
DanishDVDfreak says:
No...just have another cat with your back turned...and start rolling...and then show the second cat to the first one...It will do it
Sycho says:
that was kinda funny

Taxi has left the conversation.

aedavela says:
taxi drove away
EM3 says:
Basic element fire
DanishDVDfreak says:
They could also try harsh language
aedavela says:
does not compute
esc says:
pretty gold room again
SephirothClone says:
the brain
esc says:
nothing compared to Marvin The Paranoid Andriod though.... he has a brain the size of a planet
EM3 says:
I swear it looks like the room in 2001
DanishDVDfreak says:
the one in 2001 was a lot bigger
EM3 says:
Haven't seen 2001 in years
EM3 says:
that hatch looked like a camera lense
EM3 says:
shutter blades
esc says:
*beep* one lonely dot
Sycho says:
its the cat
aedavela says:
gimme kiss
Sycho says:
ha ha haha!
Sycho says:
comical
esc says:
well it scared the shit out of audiences in the 70s!
aedavela says:
scared me in 2000
DanishDVDfreak says:
Hmm..I think thet if someone havent seen this at the time around it came out, it doesn´t play as well as for us who have seen in many years ago
EM3 says:
Like the Exorcist
DanishDVDfreak says:
exactly like the Excorcist
aedavela says:
and probably not as big on a TV than on the big screen
SephirothClone says:
while I dont think these films are as frightening as they are when we watch them, realize that they do create great horror
EM3 says:
Some movies just are viewed better on the big screen
Sycho says:
like 2001?
SephirothClone says:
we may not find it scary, we may not get bad dreams, but the execution of pure horror and fright is highly effective
SephirothClone says:
well - Alien, Exorcist, Halloween
SephirothClone says:
Psycho
esc says:
hehe. we are still coolating, interesting choice of words Ash, dont make yourself sound too mechanical or anything
DanishDVDfreak says:
Some movies are best wieved either alone or with somone who too is a filmbuff...I HATE people talking during a movie
Sycho says:
then leave
esc says:
i hate that too, thats why i dont go to the theater anymore
DanishDVDfreak says:
No, Im just saying...this is proberly not the best way to see this movie for the first time
EM3 says:
True
SephirothClone says:
that guy is just ready to fuck shit up
SephirothClone says:
bandana ... gun ... black
Sycho says:
the black guy dies next?
SephirothClone says:
Alien is best on the big screen with a full audience (my opinion)
SephirothClone says:
i love watching horror films with a full audience
esc says:
ya, so everyone can scream and react together
SephirothClone says:
yep
aedavela says:
wanted to go when they had 25th anniv. in theaters, but never came to buffalo
EM3 says:
Like Rocky horror Horror Picture Show
SephirothClone says:
my theater only plays big budget Hollywood stuff, but they get an indie everynow and then
EM3 says:
At least you have a decent theatre
esc says:
Crew Expendible .. nice reveal of Ash behind sigorney
SephirothClone says:
bastard!
SephirothClone says:
fucking android!
aedavela says:
get it together girl
DanishDVDfreak says:
Ian Holm is really creepy right now
esc says:
1:22:23 another 'rape' moment, he rolls up one of the engineer's nudie magazines (by his crotch) and shoves it down her throat, suffocating her
aedavela says:
robo-sex?
DanishDVDfreak says:
I never got the rolled up magazine part...why doesn´t he just strangle her ? Not to leave marks ?
aedavela says:
what's the deal with ash and the magazine?
SephirothClone says:
i love the rape aspect esc, i never noticed it as apparent before
DanishDVDfreak says:
I still dont get the magazine bit...she could still breathe through her nose
aedavela says:
Ash's got windows 98
Sycho says:
first edition
aedavela says:
scott said something about sex in the commentary
esc says:
another rape moment... hehe Ash has the hots for the black guy. he's climbing all over him
aedavela says:
i can't imagine this was too comfortable for Ian Holm
Sycho says:
how many people alive on the ship?
esc says:
1:24:40 a very nice edit when they go to the live actor's head on the table
SephirothClone says:
3 alive
esc says:
we are looking at them now
Sycho says:
cat?
SephirothClone says:
wow, the premise is a lot like 2001
SephirothClone says:
an expendable crew sent by a company to retrive/research some sci-fi thing. Plus we have an aspect of man vs. machine.
SephirothClone says:
+ a scary alien
esc says:
actually now that you mention it yet, the machine was in charge all along and has its own orders
EM3 says:
Perfection is an illusion created by man givin him a goal to obtain the unobtainable
aedavela says:
i'd love to use this speech in a highlight film
esc says:
1:27:20 BYE BILBO!
SephirothClone says:
bacon!
EM3 says:
In violation of the 3 Robotic laws
Sycho says:
no, don't split up, you fools
esc says:
hello Mother
DanishDVDfreak says:
You cant have logic in a horror movie hehe
EM3 says:
Layer change?
SephirothClone says:
Mellinium Falcon?!
esc says:
possibly, didnt notice it .... would be a good place for it though
esc says:
it probably was. i want looking for it so i dunno
DanishDVDfreak says:
I like the pulsating sound in the background just before
esc says:
going and looking for thr fricking cat again .... and the heartbeat is back
DanishDVDfreak says:
But you cant kill a cat
Sycho says:
but you can kill a dog in hollow man
esc says:
1:30:00 intense goddamned editing here, with the cutting out of the loud banging and yeling sounds suddenly and going to her quietly looking for the kitty
EM3 says:
Editing done in a hurry to meet deadline
EM3 says:
Hit one with a car one time pretty sure it died
DanishDVDfreak says:
Yeah but in the movies...there are sooo few movies where any pet dies
Sycho says:
old yeller
DanishDVDfreak says:
I said a few...hehe
aedavela says:
sleepwalkers, bunch of cats die
DanishDVDfreak says:
I want a pet Alien
EM3 says:
Run Bitch!
EM3 says:
Serious drool problem
aedavela says:
and needs some whitening strips
esc says:
1:33:45 theres that panting from lambert that i mentioned earlier
Sycho says:
he going for a feel
aedavela says:
those screams and it being suddenly cut off....
Sycho says:
what, no multiple orgasums
esc says:
the alien wins the award for Juiciest Monster Ever
DanishDVDfreak says:
sure does
esc says:
super droolmonkey
aedavela says:
damn, lightning outside
Sycho says:
how much longer ?
esc says:
hello Mother
esc says:
less than 1/2 hr
Sycho says:
what, still 1/2 hour, there's one left
DanishDVDfreak says:
I like the complex self destruct mechanism .... In new movies, thet dont take time to do it properly...its just a big red button covered with a plastic bit
Sycho says:
yup
Sycho says:
now.. where that crazy fucking alien?
esc says:
he knows something funky is up... hes hiding
aedavela says:
hi there
esc says:
or not!!
aedavela says:
kitty.. yummy snack
Sycho says:
is he going to fix the detination?
EM3 says:
Why is it the countdown never match actually running times
EM3 says:
lol
DanishDVDfreak says:
Would be a bitch for the editor...could be done though
esc says:
YOU BBBIIIIIIITCH!! YAYAAARRG!
esc says:
*smash*
aedavela says:
hit my console will you? how bout we speed up that countdown
EM3 says:
I hate screwups like this one and in Aliens
Sycho says:
awwooga
DanishDVDfreak says:
That´ll teach that ship ! hehe
esc says:
this is such a real human monent when she is running and swearing to herself
SephirothClone says:
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BITCH!"
SephirothClone says:
oh wait, wrong movie
aedavela says:
great line though
SephirothClone says:
indeed
aedavela says:
and oscar nominated
esc says:
1:39:45 i love that where he fingers come up into frame and they are all sweaty and it looks a bit like the face hugger fingers
esc says:
forget the damn cat!!! you've got a pissed of alien on your tail !~!~
SephirothClone says:
always with the fucking cat
aedavela says:
why would the alien be pissed? he's had a pretty good day so far
Sycho says:
oh, lets save the cat so it can be blown up anyway
esc says:
all clear. must scared the alien away
DanishDVDfreak says:
Aliens are pissed all the time...
aedavela says:
about what?
SephirothClone says:
well id be a pissed alien too, i didnt get to eat sweaty Sigorney Weaver
DanishDVDfreak says:
They all have difficult childhoods...grown up WAAAY to fast
aedavela says:
well that happens when you come from a broken spaceship
DanishDVDfreak says:
They dont know their fathers either
esc says:
love the muffeled voice of mother once you are inside the ship
Sycho says:
wheres the alien
SephirothClone says:
bye bye Alien
Del Griffith says:
just enough time to get out of there
esc says:
and her ride here is quite alot like the end of 2001 when he is travelling into the monolith
esc says:
*pop*
SephirothClone says:
i think it would be better with no sound .... just lighting and movement
esc says:
theres the 2001 moment!!
aedavela says:
i like how it explodes 3 times, hehe
esc says:
i got you. i got you you sonofabithch
SephirothClone says:
movie aint over till i see me some flat ass
aedavela says:
hell yeah
EM3 says:
Diet and exercise here and a few pills
DanishDVDfreak says:
And pussy...oh...there it is
EM3 says:
A little pussy?
aedavela says:
just some crack
EM3 says:
There u go
Sycho says:
nice
SephirothClone says:
now THATS scary
esc says:
and as the final fuck you, only after the girl get naked, and exposes herself, can she defeat the monster
SephirothClone says:
yep
aedavela says:
that's how all monsters should be vanquished
SephirothClone says:
wow, never realized how erotic this film truly is
esc says:
he looks all snuggled up in there
EM3 says:
He wants to cuddle
DanishDVDfreak says:
I guess you see what you wanna see hehe
esc says:
theres your boney ass Seph!!
aedavela says:
mmm, mmm, mmm!
esc says:
now she is putting on her 'protection' ... as his slimey, lubed up shaft comes out
DanishDVDfreak says:
oh c´mon !
DanishDVDfreak says:
Sometimes I think that some people think WAAAAAAY to much
EM3 says:
full body protection none the less
SephirothClone says:
haha
esc says:
SephirothClone says:
helmet over the head
aedavela says:
i'll bet she gives great helmet
Sycho says:
penatration time
SephirothClone says:
never hurts to think a lot
SephirothClone says:
examines a film more
SephirothClone says:
now HE's going to be raped
EM3 says:
I hate strobe lights
esc says:
i bullshitted my way through many a high school paper just by making shit like this up
DanishDVDfreak says:
No, but to think that Alien is basically a porn flick it too much
SephirothClone says:
the tables have turned on the rapist alien
EM3 says:
Inter species erotic
SephirothClone says:
i dont think Alien is a porn film , but rather a statement on rape
SephirothClone says:
sure the protection stuff is pushing the theory (though it works), but the detachment/attatchment idea and the penetration stuff all point to this.
DanishDVDfreak says:
I guess one can draw any analogy one wants...
esc says:
1:51:30 now he tries to exert control control over her again by coming up close and saying BOO!!
SephirothClone says:
point to it symbolizing rape
esc says:
and she penetrates it!
esc says:
and now she gets it all hot!
esc says:
ok thats going a bit too far
SephirothClone says:
it really is
SephirothClone says:
but the funny thing is, it works
DanishDVDfreak says:
I really hope you guys aren´t serious about this
aedavela says:
i dig the music here
SephirothClone says:
reflection music
EM3 says:
Problem here. If you open the air hatch on a space ship all air will be sucked out instantly
Sycho says:
she bulcked up didn't she?
esc says:
this is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off ... sleepy time
Sycho says:
nudie time
projecteightysix says:
Did it show her tushie yet?
esc says:
beautiful last shot... kinda virgin maryish, no?
SephirothClone says:
aedavela says:
an amazing score
SephirothClone says:
i had a lot of fun tonight
esc says:
we shoudl do Aliens.... how is sunday night ?
DanishDVDfreak says:
NFL on sunday
SephirothClone says:
i think Thursdays are perfect
Sycho says:
i've had enough fucking aliens today
EM3 says:
Got to get up in 5hrs
DanishDVDfreak says:
So...anyone up for Aliens ?
SephirothClone says:
Punch-Drunk Love for me next
projecteightysix says:
haha im only guessing, but i sycho didnt like it?
aedavela says:
sorry not tonight?
Sycho says:
it was pretty good
Sycho says:
lets do aliens another time to see how i like it
Sycho says:
no aliens until my week rental is up
esc says:
we'll do it some day soon as an off-thursday movie night
Del Griffith says:
we should do a comedy like Planes Trains and Autombiles sometime too
esc says:
hehe!!
Sycho says:
or oldschool
aedavela says:
or monty python
Sycho says:
or roadtrip

Sycho says:
or starsky and hutch
projecteightysix says:

Del Griffith says:

SephirothClone says:

DanishDVDfreak says:

SephirothClone says:
I WANT THE DROME!!!
projecteightysix says:
ive never seen videodrome and no rental places carry it around here
esc says:
yes Videodrome is next thursday
projecteightysix says:
bestbuy has it but i dont feel like putting down 40 bucks for it
esc says:
DROME'S A COMING!! I GOT MY CRITERION a couple days ago
SephirothClone says:
W000t!!!
Del Griffith says:
I will need to rent it this week
Del Griffith says:
I've never seen it
SephirothClone says:
i'm going to try and get Asphodel, Marq, Noto, and Ried to join us

[Sycho]

ya, so i watch the dirctors cut yester day while surfing the net, a want to watch aliens soon, whats after videodrome, or what ever the fuck it's called?

[esc]

heres our ALIENS chat from Friday, January 21, 2005 :

.
.

heh, while i was editing this, this message came up :

There are too many gramatical and spelling mistakes in the current document for it to display properly, save all information and WORD will be shut down.

guess we suck at typing!

.
.
.

esc says :
evening everyone.

Nathon has been added to the conversation.

esc says :
hey Nat
Tomdkat says:
Hey
esc says :
hey, this is my RL friend Nathon … not on the boards yet
esc says :
change your font to an 8 point Bold plz
DanisDVDfreak says :
Wow...lots of ppl here
esc says :
most are AFK
DanisDVDfreak says :
If you type it, they will come
Nathon says :
GAH! Bad Realplayer! Let go of my DVD!
esc says :
i HATE that how RP always pops up when you put in a DVD. so the way this works is just cue it up to about 1 second in and hit pause, then we all hit play when I say
DanisDVDfreak says :
Hey esc...guess who just ordered the ALIEN HEAD !?!
esc says :
you dirty little bastard, you didnt
DanisDVDfreak says :
Oh yeah...should be arriving next friday
Nathon says :
Neat!
DanisDVDfreak says :
So my collection will soon be complete...well...sort of
esc says :
about 5 minutes... i'll be watching the SIN CITY trailer over and over again if y'all need me
DanisDVDfreak says :
Yeah...Sin City looks COOL !
esc says :
fuckin eh it looks cool... the use of color is jizz-tastic!
DanisDVDfreak says :
Yep
DanisDVDfreak says :
Verystylish
esc says :
i wonder how long it took Robert Rodreiguez to shoot it, he shoots fast cheap and dirty. i think he got most of the filming done for Desperado in 16 days or something stupid like that
esc says :
oh, we are watching the director's cut BTW
surfingelectrode says :
I don't have Aliens, but I'll still be here. It's an easier movie to chat about without having it than Videodrome.
Nathon says :
Damnit.....just got set for the TC here!
DanisDVDfreak says :
true
surfingelectrode says :
I had fun last night.
surfingelectrode says :
Videodrome is such a great discussion movie.
DanisDVDfreak says :
yeah...freaky movie !
surfingelectrode says :
And the fact that someone in the group had never seen it before.
esc says :
i didnt think we discussed it all that much.. it was all just my freaked out comments
surfingelectrode says :
I posted my usual IMDB trivia
esc says :
but i havent really read over the whole thing again yet to edit it, so maybe there was more there than what i thought
SidCupMartin says :
Hi everyone … have we started yet?
esc says :
are we all ready to get going ... all cued up to 1 second on the directors cut ?
esc says :
everyone sound offf!
DanisDVDfreak says :
im ready
esc says :
ME! alien legacy set here
Nathon says :
Must.....kill computer......slowly and painfully....Set. good to go
surfingelectrode says :
Ready, not watching.
SidCupMartin says :
directors cut? 'ang on a sec!
esc says :
k, good thing i asked
DanisDVDfreak says :
Im watching the Quad
Nathon says :
Quad here too.
esc says :
OMG! dinner just arrived battered, deep fried moose steak with buns browned in the moose steak grease and curry rice!!
DanisDVDfreak says :
nice !
SidCupMartin says :
I can hear your arteries hardening from here
esc says :
my sweetie kicks ass
Nathon says :
Lucky man......
DanisDVDfreak says :
Im just downing a burrito-thingy
surfingelectrode says :
I had a steak sandwhich
Nathon says :
Just finished sweet and sour deer ribs
esc says :
go in 10 then ....
esc says :
5 seconds ...
esc says :
go!
DanisDVDfreak says :
Here we go
esc says :
0:00:08 old fox logo
esc says :
A brandywine production
esc says :
WOOT JAMES CAMERON! … get out of the pool James
DanisDVDfreak says :
hehe
esc says :
everyone know what he is working on for aboot a 2007 release ?
DanisDVDfreak says :
Titanic 2 ?
esc says :
its Battle Angel [ something ] a live action version of a kick ass anime, with more green screen and CG than any living man can handle
esc says :
0:1:20 i never noticed before that when it goes to white there the music almost builds to a human scream
SidCupMartin says :
that ship always reminded of the old computer game "Elite". Anyone remember that?
Nathon says :
Remember it, I PLAYED that.
esc says :
0:2:30 inside the escape pod ... everything is frozen
esc says :
CRAP the aliens from ID4 have her!
SidCupMartin says :
here comes the stormtroopers
DanisDVDfreak says :
That scanning robot is cool
esc says :
that scanner looks like a gun
DanisDVDfreak says :
I remember that scanning and the scanning sound was used for a trailer for Terminator 2 in 1991
esc says :
they did a really good job giving the beginning an 'ALIEN' feel
DanisDVDfreak says :
Nice fade
esc says :
very nice model/effect on the space station
Nathon says :
Why is there always a gateway station?
DanisDVDfreak says :
Burke the Corporate creep
esc says :
0:6:00 enter Burke
SidCupMartin says :
NICE SUIT! look at that collar
DanisDVDfreak says :
Everyone has seen this before, right ?
Nathon says :
Listen to that technobabble!
esc says :
yes
SidCupMartin says :
yup
Nathon says :
Yup
esc says :
hey, sycho isnt here
esc says :
he was gonna rent this
DanisDVDfreak says :
omg...just imagine being away for 57 years
esc says :
0:7:20 oh oh kitty knows something is up … theres that heart beat from ALIEN again
esc says :
i like how her first reaction isnt 'oh no!' its 'KILL ME!'
esc says :
0:8:45 nice new extended scene in the DC
Nathon says :
Yup...all futures should have a holodeck
esc says :
the actual reason she went back out to LV426, she now has no one on earth, in the other version she goes back because of bad dreams… and because she basically has nothing else to do.
esc says :
nice dot matrix printout Burke has
DanisDVDfreak says :
hehe
DanisDVDfreak says :
Up to date printers, huh ?
Nathon says :
Yes, but the story is still enough to carry it past the slightly dated effects, nyet?
DanisDVDfreak says :
Once again the set design is awesome
esc says :
this is so well put together, the characters from the first film are on the screen behind her, but the film doesnt have that winking at the audience feel of horror movies where they feel the need to remind the audience of what happend in the last movie and show flashbacks and use the same sets over
DanisDVDfreak says :
If this was done today, they had to go over the last one to get everyone to get it...I HATE that
SidCupMartin says :
The Star Wars prequels were guilty of that. You could almost see the characters turn to the screen and put their thumbs up when the Trilogy was mentioned.
DanisDVDfreak says :
All due to the goddamn focus groups and test audiences
esc says :
0:13:10 when she says Goddamnit Thats Not All, it sounds like there was a bad sound edit there, like it was taken from 2 different takes
DanisDVDfreak says :
If some stupid clown says "I dont get it", the execs tells the director to explain it
Nathon says :
Yup.....Simply put a warning label on it: "You must be THIS smart to watch this film"
DanisDVDfreak says :
Yeah...instead of a rating, put an IQ rating on it
esc says :
Mission Impossible would be pretty high up there then
DanisDVDfreak says :
"not suitable to anyone with IQ below 50"
esc says :
0:15:00 NEW SCENE!
esc says :
MASSIVE long new scene!
DanisDVDfreak says :
I love this scene...we get to see Newt´s family...and what happens
Nathon says :
My favourite cameo! Captain Hollister from Red Dwarf makes a slight apperance! And if you don't know what in blazes I'm talking about, you should go out and watch some of it.
SidCupMartin says :
that guy was in Red Dwarf!
DanisDVDfreak says :
< kid on bike rolls by > A little homage to The Shining ?
esc says :
does everyone think all this extra stuff with the families was necessary? i mean they are in the film for 5 minutes then get the axe. i liked the intorduction of Newt better in the other version , but this still works too. Its like they want you to actually feel the weight of what has happned here, that hundreds of people were just wiped out, but you get that in the theatrical cut, and its much spookier in the DC when hey walk into an empty building
SidCupMartin says :
don't go near there... please don't go near there RUN AWAY! R UN AWAY!
DanisDVDfreak says :
It WAS cut for a reason
Nathon says :
Agree there...do I really want to know about people who are going to be dinner in about 2 or 4 days from this scene?
DanisDVDfreak says :
I can see why it was cut, but I also like to see it in the dir cut...gives you a little more background story
esc says :
0:19:40 i really like that this part has just basically the 2 kids in the truck, and you dont see whats in there and then BOOM! the father comes back plus one facehugger. Like a horror series, they could have shown the couple going back inside the ship from ALIEN, recapping whats in there, but they don’t.
esc says :
THERS THE SCREAM WE ALL KNOW AN LOVE!
esc says :
they didnt feel the need to re itterate the whole ship full of eggs and stuff
DanisDVDfreak says :
Like The Abyss for example...the dir cut is a whole other movie...Aliens is still the same movie in either version
DanisDVDfreak says :
The Abyss was filmed by a Danish guy btw
DanisDVDfreak says :
I always tell people, thay if you havent seen the dir cut of The Abyss, you havent seen The Abyss at all
SidCupMartin says :
that's the truth
esc says :
0:21:20 hey! its Gorman... that undertrained pussy
Nathon says :
Yippee! The Marines are here! Lock up your daughters......
DanisDVDfreak says :
I LOVE Vasquez line when Paxton says" You ever been mistaken for a man"..."No...have you ?"
Nathon says :
So, how exactly do you gauruntee (sp) someone's safety? If the aliens get Ripley, do they send a cheque to her....cat?
DanisDVDfreak says :
Vasquez was the surrogate mother of John Conner in T2 as well...did you know that ?
esc says :
yes, there is quite a bit of actor reusage in Cameron films... she was also a 3rd class mother in a small part in Titanic
esc says :
Bill Paxton shows up alot too
DanisDVDfreak says :
She was in Near Dark too...as was Paxton...Not a Cameron film though
esc says :
Paxton was one of the thugs in the first Termanator that Arnold beats up early on in the film
DanisDVDfreak says :
Yep...and he was beaten up again by Arnold in True Lies hehe
esc says :
Near Dark was a Kathryn Bigalow film, James cameron Wrote and produced Strange Days, which Bigalow directed… Its 6 degrees of James Cameron!
SidCupMartin says :
everything in the future is transparent
Nathon says :
Except her top. *shrugs* Oh, well.
DanisDVDfreak says :
hehe
esc says :
00:25:50 and thats the last we ever see of Jonsey ... *sad*
Nathon says :
Jonsey is NOT coming back
esc says :
maybe he will be back in ALIEN5 – cloned from blood samples taken at this facility, and he will be a cat-alien hybrid, then we’ll get to see some alien pussy!
SidCupMartin says :
does anyone have the strange days disc? i wanna wait til it gets rereleased 16x9
esc says :
0:26:20 nice 'sleep pod awakening scene' again, reminiscent of the beginning of ALIEN
DanisDVDfreak says :
Reminds me...I have to get Strange Days...only have that on LaserDisc
esc says :
i have it!! love that film!
DanisDVDfreak says :
its not 16x9 ?
SidCupMartin says :
it's non-anamorphic (I believe)
esc says :
lemme check ............ it doesnt say anything about 16x9 or Anamorphic on the back of the strange days case, and it was a very early FOX release
esc says :
you'd think all of these chains would be tied down for long space flights while the crew is asleep
DanisDVDfreak says :
They are in cryosleep...I dont think they will wake up just by having some chains rattling hehe
esc says :
well i mean that it would just be safer to not have stuff around that could cause an accident while everyone is out for 16 months
DanisDVDfreak says :
This was done with a big mirror
DanisDVDfreak says :
they only had about 4 pods
Nathon says :
Someone please explain to me how getting next to naked helps in cyrogenic sleep?
DanisDVDfreak says :
Hmm...doesn´t think it helps anything really
esc says :
0:29:15 did the sarge just say SHAG IT?
Nathon says :
Yup.
SidCupMartin says :
yep that's what I heard
DanisDVDfreak says :
I think he just might have hehe
esc says :
allrighty then
Nathon says :
There you go.
DanisDVDfreak says :
Ripley is NOT amused
esc says :
bishop ROCKS
esc says :
i can do that but i dont wanna (knife finger thing)
DanisDVDfreak says :
Me too, but not THAT fast
Nathon says :
I wouldn't do that if you paid me......
DanisDVDfreak says :
Paxton is actually a little whiny for a spacemarine
esc says :
maybe the corps pay well
DanisDVDfreak says :
"game over man"
esc says :
0:32:25 Hyperdyne systems ... Cyberdyne systems ... hrrrmmmmm ...
DanisDVDfreak says :
hehe...the synthetic person "malfunctioned"...That an understatement
Nathon says :
Hyperdyne....Thank you.....was just trying to place that.
esc says :
Ash pulled a HAL
esc says :
when will they learn? you cant give those simple machines conflicting orders. it just messes em up
Nathon says :
Bug Hunt! Bring on the Starship Trooper rejects!
esc says :
0:33:50 more smoking in space ... i think smoking is gonna kill all THESE people... just like how smoking killed everyone in ALIEN
esc says :
even ripley dies evenyually
Nathon says :
I doubt they'd let that line go nowadays.... The "illegal aliens" one.
DanisDVDfreak says :
Yep...that line would be cut...they just CANT offend ANYONE anymore
esc says :
there has been some really great writing so far... every character has been fully developed in just a few lines each. you know everything you need to know about them all
SidCupMartin says :
Just remember... in space, no one can see you smoke
DanisDVDfreak says :
I hate all the political correctness
Nathon says :
I love the way the new lieutenant tries to be the tough guy....leave the tough guy act to Vasquez
DanisDVDfreak says :
Those lifters are SO cool
Nathon says :
There was an article in Wired about people building actual functioning weight lifters like that.
Nathon says :
The weight lifting machines are As close as we're gonna get to power armour for a while
esc says :
0:38:00 "bay 12 please" and thats where the TV version always cut to commercial... i dont know why i remember that
esc says :
maybe cause i watched my recording of it like 1000 times
DanisDVDfreak says :
Ahh...a minigun on a steady cam rigg hehe
esc says :
oh ya, the guns in this movie are based on the rig set up that Cameron saw camera men wear while shooting some movies
DanisDVDfreak says :
Nathon says :
I love the feature on the weapons on the quadrilogy.
esc says :
good good docs on the Quad set
Nathon says :
Yup. That's what I paid money for.
Moppy007 says :
i agree, quad was amaaaaazing
DanisDVDfreak says :
VERY good docs...some of the best ever
SidCupMartin says :
they made me appreciate 3 and 4 a bit more as well.
DanisDVDfreak says :
The R1 packaging could have been better though. But I got some VERY cool custom covers and did 4 keep cases for it
5 keep cases actually
Moppy007 says :
ive got the R4 version, packaging is more practical but doesnt look as cool
esc says :
i love the original ALIEN doc that came with the Legacy box
esc says :
0:41:05 Express Elevator to Hell! Goin Down!
Nathon says :
Okay....there's a feminist motif beyond Ripley.....every female in this movie outlives the males by a good 5 minutes, at least.
Nathon says :
Okay, except the pilot.......she lasts about 20 seconds past the male
esc says :
0:41:50 best 'shaky cam' ever
DanisDVDfreak says :
Actually, the shaking cam on Top Gun was very nicely made...anyone seen the doc on that ?
esc says :
never liked Top Gun
SidCupMartin says :
here we go... rescue on fractalus on the monitor
esc says :
0:43:15 i wonder if the camera whack was an adlib ?
esc says :
is this a new scene ?
esc says :
i think so
DanisDVDfreak says :
It was cool how Cameron told them to design their own armor
esc says :
0:44:20 worst effect in the movie
esc says :
maybe second worst , behind one of the fly-outs through the fire at the end
esc says :
wow! they are flying over the Death Star!
esc says :
Vroom! Ripleys RV
Nathon says :
Okay....at this point, I'd be figuring that there's something wrong, call for reinforc
