Yup; I mean aesthetically she is literally Kenner Ripley. 😂

The M41A pulse rifle is cool and all, but resurrection has a gun in a thermos. A GUN...in a thermos. Iconic. 😎

I love Christie's wrist guns. My favourite.

Quote from: gold on Apr 28, 2024, 07:48:00 PMThere is a reason the M41A (lower picture) is an icon of SciFi history and the upper picture from Resurrection was forgotten.
The reason is the M41-A was named and given multiple loving closeups and a walkthrough of its use and features in the film. Its design is only a small part of why it stuck so well in people's minds.

After all, if it was just the design, you wouldn't have thought to ask

Since it's the same weapon, very slightly modified.

For me the question wasn't even fair, the first 1979 version is the best Alien movie. I like the haunting atmosphere of the first film, the horror elements, the theme changes, the development of the actors' characters as the story progresses, the details, etc. Otherwise, the film is exceptional in the world of cinema.

Aliens comes in second, but it's hard to compare Cameron and Scott's films because they represent different film genres.
James Cameron's Aliens movie has a strong action and hero vibe right from the beginning, lots of guns, macho action, lots of aliens, lots of everything...compared to Ridley Scott's Alien movie, I think Cameron's Aliens has too much of everything.

Alien 3 was a good try, but is overshadowed by the first two Alien movies.
What about Alien Resurrection...that's a movie that shouldn't have been made at all.

"David8" movies have been less noticed by me. Sure, they're well done and everything is ok, but...there is something about them that I don't like, I don't know what, maybe it's the plot and xeno birth idea that I don't really like - I can't say.

I'm waiting to see a Romulus movie, but I think it's just a teen slasher movie in space without any major plot content or more aliens in the story.
I expect more from the TV Series than from Romulus.

You mean Apone and Drake, who were taken down pretty quickly in the Hive, and Hudson, who needed Ripley to tell him to get a grip?

They all play/are macho from the get go, how they get dismantled has not much to do with it.

The last version of the Aliens movie (bluray, 4K, remastered using AI, UHD, HDR, grain reduced, etc). Is incredible. Absolutely incredible.

I watched it today on the new iPad M4 (with that crazy good screen and using True Tone so the colors adjust) and it is amazing. It's weird but it feels like you are there on the set. There is something about correct color (especially skin and incandescant lighting mixed with TL and set lights) that switch on your brain. In addition to HDR. It's very hard to explain but Vasquez walking into the main concourse A on HH you can really identify every light source separately from her skin (which looks a normal skin tone).

JC did an unbelievable job on the recent remaster.

I had to tell her. I've been delegated to respond to the bait so:

I was expecting more barely-contained fury and a caustic retort.
