    Whaddya yall think of the Alien saga? Like Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurretion? I think Aliens was the best, followed by Alien, followed by Resurrection, and that Alien 3 was by far the worst. Anyway, I love em all and I have the Quadrilogy.

    Me too! :) Love'em all for different reasons really.

    In my opinion, Aliens & Resurrection are like action flicks to me, while Alien & Alien 3 are more like suspense/horror.

    I didn't love it, but I also didn't think Alien vs Predator was THAT bad. Wasn't that good either, but still.. ::shrug::

    Yeah, what were Finchers credntials at the time? I think his greatest achievement at the time was directing a madonna music video or something.

    Aliens was my favorite one... Bill Paxton cracked me up..
    AvP was horrid.. I could have written a better movie in my sleep.. The whole teaming up thing was dumb, and wtf was with the android from Aliens being in AvP..can someone explain that to me cause that was dumb...

    I think I'm just the nerd you're looking for, Mystical :)

    The reason that the android from Alien was in AVP was because he (Bishop) was the orginal guy that the android model was created from. Remember, AVP takes place BEFORE the other three movies.

    Paxton was funny as hell in 2, no doubt about it.

    Alien= Rated R
    Predator= Rater R
    Alien Vs Predator= PG-13

    Fox doesnt care about the movie itself anymore, they just want it to appeal to a wider audience...

    speaking of fox THEYRE REMAKING THE OMEN. yea... i know scary!

    I heard about that. They're going to release it on 6/6/06 -- June 6th, 2006 -- 666 -- oooooooooo! ::shrug:: Morons.

    I don't see why people are getting paid to REMAKE movies that have already been made -- especially when the originals aren't all that bad to begin with. I don't mind some of them, like I thought the new Dawn of the Dead was pretty neat, but still.. can't anyone in Hollywood think of something original?!?

    Alien is my new favorite movie. It just has that rawness about it that the others lack.

    I loved Alien 3 too. There were major production problems, and the picture suffered, but if you watch the version in the quadrilogy, they add scenes which were kinda crucial to the plot. I mostly liked the imagery in that one. It was very dark and cold. It had a feeling in the air that was definately different, so it was enjoyable. And, come on, it has a beautiful ending. And seeing the Alien as a dog-like entity was cool. Resurrection is where it got cheesy....

    I dunno. To me Alien 3 tried too desperately to have the eeriness of Alien but failed. Also, the setting is very interesting, a prison, yet the director didn't explore that aspect of the movie much. It coulda been loads better. And yes I saw the special edition iof Alien 3. It was better but didn't wow me.
