A worse idea than seeing Aliens 3 or Alien Resurrection before the first two.
I have it on good authority that Aliens 3 is one of the best horror movies of the last 20 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I saw Alien 3 before the first two. I really liked it.

Which is the aliens movie that was the AIDS allegory?
I could not finish that one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hope it's the second one, because that would be one seriously screwed up perspective on AIDS.

On the one hand, the idea of Paul Bettany playing an angel with automatic weapons is very hot. On the other hand the jerky stop-motionesque animation in the red band Legion trailer is exactly the sort of movement I find the creepiest in horror flicks. Other than the swarming sea of rats.

BT - definitely not the 2nd one. I love that movie and saw it multiple times.
It is the Alien movie where an alien gets in a cat or dog and the alien comes out looking extra weird as a result. Washed out colors. Not the aliens with Wynona Ryder.

Wow ita, creepy animation notwithstanding that movie looks awesome.

le nubian -- That's Alien 3. But it's not about AIDS; that's just silly.
It's about abortion.
Hey, the Village Voice said so. (Yes, I know.)
I have not seen it since it was in theaters; I should give it another look. I remember that it was not a good movie at all, but it did have some moments I liked. (The dog being one of them.) Which is Fincher for you.

I was a little iffy on it, cool concept aside, until the last minute or so, which had lots of things blowing up and angels using their wings as weapons. Now that was good stuff.

I liked Aliens 3, too!
