They said I could watch it too, the menu freaked me out so I went to bed being able to hear the movie and it scared me half to death.
Buying Alien dvd in Tesco, you must be British then. 🤣
I've done the same.
It was a WHS Smith for me! Exact same store I also got the Legacy boxset from as well!

Quote from: Acid_Reign161 on Today at 02:22:56 PMWelcome all new members! 😃 I am *loving* the influx of new Alien 3 fans here!! (It's my personal second fave after the original regardless of which cut, and I've long said is a misunderstood masterpiece, regardless of production issues / studio interference). Happy to see it getting more recognition here on the boards! 😃
UK here also (fun fact; my hometown was the filming location for the beach of Fury 161)
I keep meaning to make a pilgrimage up to Blast Beach but I struggle to find the energy as I got older/lazier! lol
Quote from: Acid_Reign161 on Today at 02:29:57 PM@Corporal Hicks - just thinking on the above post /out loud; but any chance of emblems for the boards? (i.e. something like Order 937, Squad 426, Cult 161, etc (that sort of thing, with titles collectively voted by members) so members can easily find "their people"? 😄
I'm not shooting down, as ultimately would depend on the software and Darkness, but what would that be in regards to? Just displaying a favourite film?
Yes, just your fave vibe really :-) The movies in this franchise are so varied in style and atmosphere, and I had noticed that whenever certain movies in the franchise are brought up in topic, it quickly becomes a debate on "how bad they are" with people keen to voice what they *don't* like - not just for Alien 3 and Resurrection, I see a lot of it with the prequel discussions too😅 Whilst it's great to debate these things, (and the diversity of opinions in threads are what makes this group so great, with everyone being attracted to the franchise for different reasons) I thought perhaps it might also be nice to sometimes engage more with those "in the same crowd / similar mindset" - there's a friend list option, and I don't think I've utilised it yet, mainly because we see all of our regular posters in all the threads daily anyway. The idea was just a display signal to others, to gravitate towards discussing more of what you love, as opposed to defending what you love.. 😅 that sorta thing really. Think of it like having a slytherin or hufflepuff symbol next to your name (whatever those are, I don't do Harry Potter 🤣 first analogy could think of, lol)
