I just don't connect with the "oorah" machismo Colonial Marine stuff. Never did even when I was younger, and still don't. At one point, before the prequels, my ranking was the order they released in, but I got older and my tastes shifted.
I'm not much for the idea of the military industrial complex. I don't personally care for war movies. Same reasons I don't care for the Brotherhood of Steel faction within the Fallout franchise, another property I also adore.
I just think Alien as a whole has bigger and better things to say rather than riding on the nostalgia-based coattails of the second film. There's already so much expanded media based on it, and that will never change because Money.
That being said, Aliens is still my second favorite Ripley story next to Alien³.

General Film/TV Discussion / Re: Riddick
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Today at 11:45:54 AMI actually quite liked the 2013 movie (though my heart lies with Chronicles, first and foremost - love that big meathead Space Conan riff 
).
Riddick (2013) actually really nails the pulpy tone that I'd love to see a future space-set Predator movie shoot for (crossing my fingers for Badlands!).
Hurry up and announce that Patrick Tatopoulos will be on board for this one. The synopsis mentions a monster!

Last post by BigDaddyJohn - Today at 11:40:44 AMQuote from: Corporal Hicks on Today at 06:03:23 AMAs much as I wasn't keen on Riddick, I did really enjoy the first two, and I'm quite eager to see how this goes. I should look to see if the games are available on Steam or GoG. I know they were always well praised but I never got to around to them when they came out.
Escape From Butcher Bay is really cool, although it might be a bit old now graphically and gameplay wise.

Something I already noticed in the design is that it has way more teeth than most Aliens, the little cable connecting the chin and head too, and the return of the back spike of course
Maybe it's the angle of the shot that gives the impression it has more teeth ? But it's possible it has more teeth.

The more time passes, the more I become tempted to slip Covenant up a notch so that it is at the same level as Aliens and Alien 3 on my own list.
