"Alien - The directors cut"

Interesting to think what the reintroduction of Dallas turning into an egg will do to the continuity of the series.

Oh, it doesn’t matter as Alien 3 was the last good one wasn’t it?

While I admit Aliens is one of the best, Alien 3 is my personal favourite.

Resurrection had it's moments but the cross-breed ruined it for me.

I couldn't watch Alien all the way through when I was young and I spent about 10 years avoiding it. When I eventually did watch it I was a bit disappointed to be honest.

quality - you managed to put the entire 8 hour plot(s) into a couple of minutes reading, perhaps we should have a thread for this....

Brad Douriff

Evertime I see him I think "The plan!"

Perlman is a dog-man. He really looks like a dog.

I thought, next to Aliens, it was my favourite. A maniac Sigourney Weaver, not seen since she was The Gatekeeper, enjoying being feral.
Ron Perlman & robo-Pignon, Brad Douriff, underwater Aliens, 25ft basketball backwards throw, Micheal Wincott's gravel-voice and lots and lots of wet Win-on-a-Friday.

Well, a slightly less naff hybrid would do nicely. Jeunets direction was nice however, and Perlman and Pignon were excellent as always. Perlman has got to be the ugliest bloke I've ever laid eyes on. Lets hope he is as good as usual in hellboy.

Loved the descriptions of the films :)

I thought Resurrection was excellent.
But then I enjoyed Reloaded. Ron Perlman & Dominique Pignon in an Alien movie, what more do you need?

Alien - "Why did we wake up early?" "I don't know, let's walk around that giant alien ship and get John Hurt egg-faced" "Wow, John Hurt exploded. Now let's crawl through airducts for an hour" "Phew, just blew it out the airlock. That was lucky"

Aliens - "Go back to that planet Sigourney Weaver" "No, they'll kill me" "We lost contact" "I'll go back then" "We're Space Soldiers and are hard-as" "Damn, we're all dead except for the android, ironic huh! Remember in the 1st movie, the android was evil, he's good in this one! Eh?! Eh?!" "Game over man! Game over!" "Phew, I blew it out the airlock, that was lucky"

Alien 3 - "We're Space Prisoners" "There's an alien here" "Shoot it, no wait..no guns" "Ah well, let's run through corridors shouting, we're all bald and that will make it hard to identify between characters!" "Hello, I'm the android from the last movie, the good robot. Except now I'm evil again! Twist of fate eh?! Cool, no?!" "I shall kill myself with my alien baby, with no airlock"

Alien 4 - "We're Space Dustman, give us some money" "No, look, an evil Sigourney Weaver clone! With alien DNA!" "I'm Win-on-a-Friday, a waif robot" "I'm the gravel-throar dude from The Crow, remember me!" "I'm Ron Perlman, I'm cult-cool, here's my French sidekick" "Quick, Sigourney Weaver, ironically embrace that which has tried to kill you and destroy your foster daughter alien thingy"

In truth, resurrection was poor. I completely switched off when that guy took a hole in the head and reached back to pick some of his brains out and look at them before falling to the floor. The whole film was utter toss.

Thats the boy.

What was the one with the big gay-ass baby-alien at the end, and Ripley was it's mother? That one was crap. Alien, Aliens, and whatever the other one was that wasn't crap - they were good.
