A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The ALIEN series lost me at the beginning of Alien3, when they killed off Hicks and Newt.
Yeah, at the beginning of Alien3, they rendered everything that happened in Aliens moot, and they did it all offscreen.
*cries*
Oh, the rage I felt when I realize that they'd just undone the last movie and killed off Ripley's makeshift family.
Wait, was I the only person who hadn't seen the SpiderMan 4 trailer? [link]
But that's...not a real trailer.
Yeah, that's not too bad, but all of that is reused footage. Still cool though!
But that's...not a real trailer.
It's a space station!
I was offended that they used material from the yanked twin towers teaser trailer. That ruined all the fake trailer fun for me as soon as I recognized the robbery footage.
I'll be contrary and say that I really liked Alien 3, despite the deaths of Hicks and Newt (which did upset me) and absolutely hated Resurrection.
I actually saw the international trailer for AVP-R at the cinema the other day and for the first half of it I was, like, "Wow, this trailer is great. What is this?". Then I realised and was all "Wait, I'm supposed to hate this, aren't I?".
I saw Alien 3 in the theatre and really liked it, I think, but I had probably only seen pieces of Aliens and never seen Alien. I don't remember much of Alien: Resurrection.
