Last I heard, it was sighted in the Gamma Leporis System.

Did a rewatch of the Quadrilogy, and Alien remains my favorite. I mentioned elsewhere that Alien has a spiritual aspect of horror that the sequels IMHO do not. The Alien feels more like a destroyer demi-god, designed to wipe out mankind in the most terrifying ways; turning all aspects of eros into death: kiss of death, intercourse of the mouth leading to a birth that leads to death. The Sequels tend to opt for horror and gore, and or action; but Alien feels like it penetrates the soul; the dark temple of eggs in The Derelict feels familiar and foreboding (as if we've been there or are going to be, or something in between), the Xenomorph beckons and disgusts; like man it is beautiful and violent; you in one way feel like Golic in Alien3 saying "magnificent!," and on the other hand like Ripley in Aliens, "I say we nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure."

Got carried away...

Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Feb 22, 2024, 09:55:19 AMJust a quick question that doesn't need a new thread : was Ripley on Earth when she got visited by Burke and Gorman in her flat ? She was on getaway station before that, and that was in Earth's orbit so, it is likely ?
Still on gateway.

I don't want one, I don't think it needs it, what exists I like. It just needed some fine tuning.

Quote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Feb 16, 2024, 08:01:30 AMThat being the reason I want the pre test screening pre reshoots cut, I always found it really bizarre in the past when I heard David Fincher submitted it without Chestburster sequence; then through Alien Archive we also found out the notorious Egg at the beginning also got added after the fact. 

You put that together, and that suggests to me, a cut where we only see the evidence of the presence of the Alien in aftermath up until either the candles sequence with Golic or that iconic shot.
a reimagining of the movie that has the crew finding the dog/cow dead and with a hole at the chest would be so cool tho, I def think Alien 3 could use a remake of sorts

Clearly I'd love to see that as well. What's also sad is that he still seems to hate it to this day.

I still want whatever edit he put together before the mandated changes, that would be good enough frankly.

Would have been so cool to have Fincher's vision without all the studio meddling and stuff. Sad to think we never will.

We knew that looooooong before. What was new was that it was two eggs.
