You seem a little upset?
QuoteBull.
What do you base this on? You seem to have read these books. Where's the USM?
QuoteRight out of Sea of Sorrows, or are you trying to say the Auriga was in Aliens?
I didn't suggest any such thing. I'm quite clearly talking about "the characters and setting that Resurrection created". That has completely gone from Sea of Sorrows. The USM collapsed towards the end of the 24th century, and Sea of Sorrows is over a century later where Weyland-Yutani has regained it's former glory. And then some. The setting is akin to Alien and Aliens; not Resurrection.

Who is this "They"? Citation required.
Fox. If they thought they could make succesful Resurrection sequels, they would've. They haven't. They instead moved onto AvP and Prometheus. And now when talk of sequels comes up - it's not a sequel to Resurrection. They planned to at the time because the pre-release buzz was very positive. Didn't pan out though.
QuoteGive me examples of people who were specifically approached to make a sequel to A:R and refused because they didn't want to make a sequel to it.
See above. If Fox thought there was something in it, they would've pursued it.
QuoteI swear you aren't reading what I'm saying. It's simple: It took 33 years for them to pick up and make a sequel to Return of the Jedi, does the time taken to make a sequel to a movie have anything to do with lack of desire to make a movie? No. The whole argument that it hasn't been touched in nearly 20 years is ridiculous. If your premise is false, then what you are saying is false.
You seem a little upset? You need to compare apples with apples. There was a huge audience out there who were dying to find out what happened to Luke, Han and Leia. There is not a huge audience out there wondering what happened to Ripley, Noni Ryder, Hellboy and that guy in the chair.
On the other hand, lots of people would like to revisit Ripley, Hicks and Newt.
