AvPR vs A:R

[DoomRulz]

I was able to, because she didn't act like Ripley at all. When I removed my Alien fandom from the equation, it was just a film that had Sigourney Weaver in it.

How does Ripley act? Running from Aliens scared? Coz that's more or less what happened in Res.

[SpaceMarines]

For one thing, she doesn't say shit like "Who do I have to f**k to get off this boat?"

[DoomRulz]

See, Res had dialogue unlike Requiem but geez, it was sometimes just as painful as Requiem's lack of it.

I guess the whole thing about her being mostly Ripley, but kinda not all Ripley...

Oh, why the f**k do I bother...

But it wasnt Ripley. Not that I defend or would ever defend Resurrection which I consider one of the dumbest if not the dumbest scifi movie in history, but what Weaver played was one of 8 mutant clones (sounds like something from Marvel comics or cheap scifi flicks not Alien saga) created from dead Ripley's blood, with a cliche personality of an 80s tough guy and stupid X-Men superpowers

It was Deadpool's mother.

That's exactly what I'm saying. It wasn't Ripley. Which makes it easier for me to forget that it was an Alien film. It was just some sci-fi movie with Sigouney Weaver in it.

So you're cloning a woman 200 years after her death, and you expect her to --

Uh.

Oh, why the f**k do I bother...

Words cannot say how much I agree.

[SpaceMarines]

Uh.

You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I didn't expect her to act the same. In fact, I'm glad she didn't, because it made it easier for me to forget that it was supposed to be an Alien film.

As I said, it wound up being a mediocre sci-fi film with Sigourney Weaver. If I think of it as an Alien film, my piss begins to boil.

[DoomRulz]

You said she didn't act like Ripley and that was a problem for you. Sounds to me like you did expect her to.

[SpaceMarines]

I'm not sure what I'm saying anymore.

All I know is A:R as a film = okay.

As an Alien film = shit.

Both are insults to filmography. The only saving grace of A:R was Ron Perlman and Brad Dourif (you know, the guy who actually treated Ripley like a person and not a dog like the other scientists?) and AVP:R was just messed up on so many levels. The saving grace is The Wolf, the Aliens and the Predalien. But the characters? The plot? the setting? the predator homeworld??? Noooo....

She was a meat by product.  How should she be treated?

I'm in the middle on this one. While I chose Alien: Resurrection only because I see it as superior film, I do find AVPR more entertaining.

Why isn't "They are both poor" winning.
I worry about you guys
