Didn't she torch the eggs only after she saw one opening up and ready to spit a facehugger at her?
Yeah. And Ripley even gave a "Oh why did you have to go and do THAT?" look before she opened fire.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

What the heck happened to Michael Biehn? After The Abyss, I never saw him again. Did he run over Cameron's dog, who then got him blacklisted, or did he become a stay-at-home dad, or something?
Just checked IMDB (forgot about Planet Terror!), and he's been busy, but how did he wind up in bad movie land?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Biehn's worked steadily just in increasingly crappy movies and TV. Doesn't have a lot of range, so he keeps playing variations on the type you saw in the Cameron movies.

That dog's got some mojo.

(I'm sorry, but it was just sitting there, begging to be pointed out. Dog. Begging. It's a sickness.)

Oh, look. Rob Thomas is promising a movie of his cancelled TV series. Why do I have trouble believing it?

Saw The Artist with java and loved it. I think it helps that I just started watching a bunch of Hitchcock's silent films--the movie opens exactly like The Lodger. In a way, Dujardin's character is very similar to the one he plays in the OSS films, except with a dash of Gene Kelly.
The only thing that threw me out of the film was towards the end when the music in the montage-y part sounded so familiar and I finally figured out it sounded like The Lord of the Rings.

Saw The Artist with java and loved it.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I liked Hugo well enough, but I got a lot more, emotionally, out of The Artist. Odd, that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought that Hugo was trying really hard to be a nostalgia piece, whereas The Artist just WAS.
