QuoteSo you are telling me i need to know your opinion on something when you decided to ask me to elaborate on my opinion?
Yes. My desire was to start an conversation (again these usually concern
two opposing opinions) and so I provided you with the relevant information. I'm sorry you are unfamiliar with this common method of interaction and I will take the necessary precautions in future.
QuoteSorry but i do not function like that
Clearly.
QuoteGuess what? I dont read minds either, so when some dude quotes a piece of my comment and replies by rewriting what
he just wrote recently you know what i think? I think he just rewrote what he just posted recently.
I elaborated on an earlier post to clearly express surprise in regards to an opposing opinion, a commonly used attempt to provoke a conversation. If that wasn't clear enough then I really can't help you.
QuoteThat "chaff" is the key to explaining why the scene is happening.
But my problem is not with
why the scene is happening but the image conveyed to communicate
how the scene is happening. Something which you have failed to grasp post after post. Hence 'chaff'. Anything I omitted could be concluded in the salient quotes I posted.
QuoteHow do yo think wild and untamed animals behave? I believe i did ask you where do you live because you have some strange ideas about how wild things should behave. Apparently where you live wild animals when not sleeping are running around screaming throwing poop randomly. Is that the case? Could you please tell me where you live? I mean..... you do have a TV right? There are endless nature shows showing people handling wild beast pretty much like i picture David doing it. You are on the internet! Go search for vids! This is true, i am not lying.
What an absolute clusterf**k of a paragraph. Clearly you have no understanding of the point that was made. I suggest you take a step back and reread a few posts back for a better understanding. I made the comparison to a wild and untamed animal/ beast to convey an image of pure ferocity, in contrast to Spaihts evocation of the image of a harmless
kitten like facehugger. I wasn't making a general point on the entire animal kingdom.
QuoteIt's subdued because it does care about Dave. This is one of those words you decided to throw away as chaff.
Which word in the sentence
'It's subdued because it does care about Dave' did I omit as chaff?
QuoteHe isnt allowing it to do anything, the creature is just hanging out because it doesnt see anything to attack, but when it does... it does.
Again, completely devaluing the ferocity of a creature, relegating it to the role of a droids pet, no longer spurred by it's simple and 'perfect' desire to breed. Again (and again, and again, and again), I understand
why, I simply do not not like
how.
QuoteBut that's not the image Spaiht's sells at all.
Exactly. That's my point. The image of a wild creature is something Spaiht's could have sold with the same reasoning but instead turns the creature into David's pet. You'll get it eventually.
QuoteIn your mind, but in my mind, as well as anyone reading this, your made up idea is just your made up idea.
I guess if someone can misunderstand and blatantly overlook as much as you have they could reach a similarly ridiculous conclusion.
QuoteLet me get this straight............... you say you dont read minds yet you are having a conversation with me and making points using a post made in another thread? How the hell was i suppose to know this?
Seriouly, EL OH EL.
It's clear you are just fuming on this stuff.
So essentially, I'm cheating because i have previous knowledge of the scene? I wasn't aware it was a requirement for us to have the exact same information before beginning a discussion. I thought discussion was a process of learning. Does your pedantry know no bounds? I wonder if you could write yet
another inane paragraph without actually assessing any of the content posted. My vote is yes. Yes, you can... and will.
QuoteFirst, why are you replying to the same thing twice?
A mistake. I imagine you can stretch that over another three of four posts.
QuoteIn Aliens.....when Burke released the Facehuggers in that lab...... they clearly were not in an egg and they clearly werent actively jumping around trying to get into people's faces or else Ripley would have notice them...... so what where they doing? Could *GASP!* they have been relaxing in a corner because there were nothing to do?
Oh the pure terror of it.
Do you not see how the very things you are suggesting devalue the pure terror of a creature solely motivated by a need to reproduce by showing it chillax in a corner. Also the creatures in that scene had only just been released (hence the still rocking movement of the empty statsis tubes) and they're already on the search for a host. They're already in attack mode because their sole purpose is to reproduce via hostile means. There's a reason Ash refers to the species as 'perfect'.
In relation to the Alien (and it's species):
Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor...
unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.
It has no need to relax or any need for emotion or any such unnecessary states. It's a hostile breeding machine and that alone. If it isn't attacking it's dormant (egg). It doesn't just wander aimlessly.
Quote*GASP!* What were they doing!
Looking for a host. That is exactly what the scene tells you. Have you seen Alien or Aliens recently? I recommend you familiarise yourself with the content before posting again.
