Nightmare Asylum

In my mind the crew of the Nostromo are still in cryo, heading to Earth.

In my mind Roby is still aboard the Snark 2 lifeboat, heading for Irth.

In my mind, Lt. Doolittle is still surfing his way down into the planet in Dark Star.



Alien isn't canon! What are you guys, crazy?

Resurrection blows Prometheus out of the water.

...

Yeah I said it. :laugh:  I just give it more points for being a complete story and having less noticeable plot holes.  Not trying to bait anyone, you sensitive asses. :P  I was also honestly more moved by parts of Resurrection, like Ripley facing her clones, than Prometheus, and some parts scared me a lot more than anything in Prometheus.

Res would've been in a different league had the newborn been something wicked awesome.



Fair enough.  In my mind, Res doesn't exist because the concept is silly and the series ended perfectly with Alien 3.

But different strokes for different folks and all that. 8)

Res? Alien 3? What are these movies you speak of?

As far as I am concerned, Ripley and the others are still floating around in space.

In my mind it's ripley and jonesy float in space.



In space, no one can quench your thirst like a Ripley and Jonesy Floatâ„¢

so sad.

clearly an evidence, that scott became senile.


Oh I dunno. I expect he can still capitalise his sentences.

Seriously? Is that all you could think of to say? Of all the constructive arguments and ideas floating around here, you decided to poke at his capitalization?

Grow up.

Whoooosh!


No, just at the hypocrisy. But hey, apparently it's fine to call someone senile in your world. Nice.

But if you can think of a constructive argument or idea to counter what I'd consider basic abuse please enlighten me with your mature analysis of why you support the theory that Scott is in fact senile.

Evidently not then?

But when FOX says they want an extended cut, magically there will be 2 hour plus of footage that makes perfect sense to everyone.

You already have a 2 hour plus cut.

I've been watching a fan edit with most of the material back in and it still a the same boring but pretty film as before. A extended cut will not help this movie. It's the same as the AvP extended cut, nothing can make up for a bad script.

That's a really pedantic way to miss his point.

Not my fault if he chose a dumb way to make his point.

Just perpetuates the myth the Fox forced Riddles to keep it under 2 hours.

Lucky he has you to defend him though, eh?

I have also been watching a fan edit with the deleted and extended scenes re-inserted and I respectfully disagree.

Some of the smaller scenes, like "We are no longer alone", "Our first alien", "skin", and the like bring a greater sense of continuity to the film, making latter actions taken now make sense in terms of the broader narrative, instead of being things that just happen.

Janek Fills Vickers In and The Engineer Speaks both bring a sense of depth to the film that was missing before, and the latter just about changes the entire point of the film.

Extended scenes like the King Has His Reign scene between Vickers and Weyland bring character to those that had little.

The alternate Fifield Attacks brings a sense of consistency across the title's creature design that I didn't realize the film was lacking until I saw it.

And that's just the ones I remember off the top of my head.

I definitely think an extended cut is the better cut of the film.
