Alien-Predator DVDs / Blu-Ray / Re: Favorite Alien Blu-Ray Ver...
Last post by SM - Today at 02:44:34 AMThe original DVD release had different menus for each film. Alien and Aliens were more elaborate. For the Quad DVD they were all using the same theme. Blu-ray had a new theme but were also consistent with each other and nicking content from my website.
Don't know about 4K releases though.

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by Nightmare Asylum - Today at 02:42:25 AMQuote from: GrimmVision on Today at 02:31:57 AMI never want to sympathize with the Alien. If we ever get to that point in the films, the horror these creatures stir within my mind would be rendered null. Resurrection almost went there with the Newborn.
I absolutely appreciate the callback to original ideas by O'Bannon but I do think that Ridley relocating the ideas of a society with art and architecture to the Engineers was the better move. While it expands on old ideas being brought back and showcased within new films, it also keeps the scary, unknowable horror of the Alien.
I would, however, love to see Blomkamp's script realized through an audio drama, comic, or novelization!
I do think Resurrection gets away with what it did with the Newborn, by nature of the creature being so significantly human via the extraordinary circumstances of how it came to be. But that's an exception, not a rule.
I'm of two minds about this whole thing we're learning here about Blomkamp's ideas regarding the intelligence/degree of sentience from the Alien. On one hand, this is way more interesting a concept than I ever expected to see from Blomkamp's project. On the other, the execution of such an idea can be incredibly tacky in execution (and likely would have been, if the Kenner mech suits and some of the hybrids are anything to go by). Who knows how it would have played on screen, or what it would have done for/to the creature retroactively and moving forward.
I genuinely do want to see this done as a comic or book or something now, though. This new detail is the first little tidbit about the whole project that's really set a bit of a lightbulb off in my head, even if it is mostly in a "What If?" sort of way.

Aye, same.
Preferably with real art, if they go the comic route.
Sal Larroca then?
there's room for Woman in the Dark in such a demented fan fiction-like narrative!

Alien 5 / Re: Alien V - Facts and Rumors...
Last post by 0321recon - Today at 02:20:51 AMTalk about dodging a bullet. Not a fan of what happened in Covenant, but you can chalk that to David creating a subspecies of the Xeno from Engineer blueprints, but what Neil wanted to...oh man. Nope.

Some of these effects are pretty rough, good thing the overall package is otherwise great. Also, this show has the most random collection of cameos ever. I completely forgot about Meg Foster showing up.
