Eh?

Seeing as Bremner is from Edinburgh - how the hell is he supposed to talk??

A Scottish accent scarcely sounds good on anyone. Only a scarce few can wear it well. Billy Boyd and Ewan MacGregor.

Bremner . . . no.

QuoteThe line that bugs me is Miller's alliteration.

"A Power Plant for this Pyramid firing up. Preparing!"

Gah! Everytime I hear that, I cycle it in my head for a day and a half.

"Eh, Weyland, ye goat any smack, catboy?  Skag, ye ken?"

I remember hearing on the commentary that the originally had Bremner doing an American accent, but changed it during shooting.

Possibly channelling the spirit of Golic...

This one seemed a bit too much of a stretch to represent a wide variety of ethnicities.

Makes you wonder how that would've sounded if they went with the character as an american like in the Novel and in some early stuff.

lol, well now we all have opinions on the film, and we're not bashing it by being honest on what could have been done better.  ::)

Pros- the film did look very nice, set, creatures, visual effects, and action was good. had a promising plot. 

Cons- there wasn't a chararcter you could root for other then the Preds or Aliens, dialouge could have been better, it felt rushed.

IMO it's not a bad film it just falls short of the expectations we all had for it. now for the 8 mins. added to the unrated edition, I hardly notice them at all, though the special features on the dvd were pretty intresting.

At the risk of enduring another round of whining and moaning from certain quarters...

Pros - It looked good.  Nice lighting, good set design, good special/ creature effects.

Cons - Pretty much everything else.  No tension, no character development (Weyland, Miller and Verheiden all had potential - Lex and Sebastian were dull), continuity and plot glitches, etc.

When a mate of mine sent me a erm, 'less than official' version on video.  Since watched it a couple of times on DVD.

the one line that makes me want to jump off a cliff is Sebastians "Don't worry I'll get us MORE money." - :P

when did you see AVP ?

Nah, nowt to do with Sebastian.  Just that I would've screamed at mindlessly stupid scenes like that.
