If you want something really depressing and painful to listen make Corporal do The Predator by Minute.

Considering all the research and your guys' extensive knowledge of the original script et al I was also surprised there was less background information on the film and behind-the-scenes stuff discussed.
I actually found it quite hard to get a full knowledge drop thing off, with the conversation constantly shifting based on the actual footage. Was a strange thing to edit too.

Hi Xenomorphine. The quote about colour grading came from me after Colin had told me privately.Quote from: Darkness on Jun 23, 2012, 07:33:49 AM
I spoke to Colin Strause about this last year and he claims Fox refused to let them touch the DVD/Blu-Ray at all. They said the west coast prints were fine but the east coast prints were dark. So they wanted to make the movie brighter but found out after they got the Blu-Ray from Fox, that the studio had made the movie a lot darker. They never had any say about it.
Bit of a surprise cos I always thought the darkness was their choice. It's easy to blame the Strauses but they just never stood a chance with this movie.

Overall a decent first go at it, although I think you guys shit on the movie a lot more than you seem to think you did. Kind of made it less enjoyable for me than I would have liked but I understand that most people within the fandom really hate this movie and I am in a very small minority.

I'm definitely in the camp with RidgeTop of taking this movie at face value and enjoying it for what it is.
I'd say AVPR is like Critters (1986) taking itself too seriously: alien rampage on a small town with space cleaners kicking the alien asses. There is even a glimpse of an extraterrestrial place, and an alpha Critter so to speak; which is bigger and stronger
But I guess The Blob (1958) is a better compassion. I'm in the minority, but I don't like the easy way in which Wolf kills the Aliens, and the horrendous designs of such Aliens as well.
