Egg on Sulaco

Someone needs to bring David Fincher to the next podcast and ask him about it.

ALIEN³ The Final Cut

[Kel G 426]

If I remember right, that sound is actually of an egg peeling open, which would make it even more consistent with Alien³.

HOWEVER, that was just put in for shits n giggles. It was never meant set up a sequel. It's non-diegetic (if I'm using that word right) ambience.

Debatable

Diegetic or non-diegetic's interpretive.

My interpretation is that it's no more literal than the credits we see scrolling up the screen.

Especially as Cameron has flat-out said as much.

Then David created the Alien and the Alien regenerates.

Nope, I'm wrong.  I just listened to it with my earphones and it was the coolest thing.  I could hear the facehugger scurry from one ear to the other!

You hear it at 2:40.  Also, I want to say that this is a beautiful piece of music.

[The Old One]

It is indeed.

I really need to finally buy the Aliens soundtrack at some point.

I honestly don't think the Aliens Soundtrack is all that, but I would recommend;
#1 La La Land's Alien³ Album #2 Jed Kurzel's Covenant Album #3 Intrada's Alien Album

I know Covenant divided opinions (to say the least), but I defy anyone to not be a fan of The Med Bay/Backburster track.

Dead Civilization. <3

Facehugger. <3

Chestburster. <3 <3 <3

Yeah, I know.

I picked up the recent expanded edition of Alien 3, but I somehow managed not to get any of the scores before then. I think I had the odd track from Aliens that I got via... dubious means back when I was a student, but wherever they came from I seem to have lost them ages ago. I really should get the soundtrack albums from at least the original four films.
