Hello im Infected and from Holland and a big fan of the Predators and Aliens franchise. (except for Alien3,Alien Res,AVP,AVP:R, the movies because in my opinion they did not stay true to the serieus and the franchise)
Welcome, and in a guilty pleasure kind of way you like those movies now.
So that has changed over the years, as much as i dislike the fact that i didnt get what i hoped for in those movies, they all went on their own paths introducing things i didnt like, like the guns in Alien: Ressurection, the Ripley clone superhero stuff the Call android and the baby alien thing at the end. Would the movie be better if they changed the soldiers into colonial marines, and Ripley into a pile of meat suffering in a tank somewhere, and changed the baby alien end scene? no i think this movie never had the power and depth to become something close to the or better say to my alien world.
Did AVP and AVP:R had that potential? yes i think they did, especially AVP: Requiem, would they have left out the predalien and the powerglove thing and used a better story, then sure it was for some maybe the worst of them two, but it could be if they handled it good be a better movie then Predator 2 and Alien Ressurection, its mostly a lack of a good story and vision,
AVP:R looks good in every way, as long as you can see anything that is.
Did they introduce things you did like? yes some parts are just pure fun, the grenade that rolls into the escape pod with the xeno and the soldiers.
The little whiskey cube that turns into liquid.
The baby alien thats being sucked through the little hole.
Alien 3: i like the industrial cold look and feel.
In the AVP movies there are a lot of things i like, the predators look, the ending of AVP:R with the plasma caster being handed to Yutani.
Some oneliners i will never forget "its better to have it and not using then to need it and not having it" "We just passed the psr, oh i wanted to take a picture of it" and offcourse the Spanish guy giving his lame "hunters moon" Casanova line.
And the line about the girl and the father drinking on the top of the mountain by Weyland.
But besides those movies, how did i experienced the time on this site? very good, with some bumps in the last months, but thats life, we go up we go down, as long as we keep moving.
Did a lot changed in the 7 years as a member of this site? in my personal life yes, a lot, in 2010 i would never have thought that what happened, happened.
And about this site and its people, i see a lot of time passes for us, when you look back at the time some people became a member on here, and some are still here and still hoping and waiting, its incredibe how true and loyal people can be.
Here's to another 7 years, and i hope for us all we will be delivered with some good movies, toys and video games of our beloved franchises.
