Good lord folk. I swear you're determined to make me either quit or have a brain aneurism. Tone down the attitudes, please. Remember you're talking with subjectivity. I don't want to see comments like "could use a cognitive abilities exam". You wont stay around here long if you do.

It goes for everyone. Stop being so offended when someone shares an opinion you don't agree with. There's no need for the hostility in your responses. We're all adults, taking time out of our busy lives to discuss something we're fans of. Something we're passionate about. That passion doesn't need to come out as hostility. Let's remember that.

1 and 2 are my favorite films in general not just as Alien films.

Yep. That's what happens when you bait a badger.

Quote from: gold on May 18, 2024, 01:59:23 AMLol, I don't care what anyone thinks. It's lightyears beyond the previous release.
Good for you, There's a lot of things that I disagree with you on, like ACM The true sequel to aliens and Neil aliens Movie should've happened.

As long As you don't massive dick to anyone, then I won't have a problem. But I do admit that I am a bit judgmental. I'm doing better with That behavior, but it still there.

It's great that you enjoy it :-) You'd be hard pushed to find many people who'd agree with your assessment however. Incorrect colour grading, a waxy de-grained image with overuse of DNR /oversharpened image... to paraphrase Blue; it's not even really Aliens anymore, it's an AI's interpretation of the movie.

QuoteBut hey, all change is bad right? Nothing can be improved ever, and what does the guy who made the movie in the first place even know.


Well, evidently, he does not know his own fanbase, based on most movie collectors, videophiles and the entire internet's reaction to almost all of the 4k UHD releases of his movies, which all suffer the same criticisms, or he wouldn't approve the shyte that has been churned out lately..

QuoteIt's actually funny, I heard this place was a cesspit of people who hate anyone who has a different opinion.

I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here with that outlook.  ;)


QuoteI can only laugh. Think what you like. I respect your opinion. But I couldn't care less what you think of mine.

For the record, most of us were just having a little fun; For context - you have a lot of what would be considered 'hot takes' here (which is perfectly fine; it's nice to see diversity) though like many places, we have had our fair share of trolling here, and you just happened to make several consecutive posts that mirror recent/past debated topics here 😂 - you'll have to forgive the suspicions.

QuoteEdit: anyone who has read the final chapters of ACMTM and doesn't see Lee was insinuating that 341-B was evil, could use a cognitive abilities exam. I bet 80% of you haven't even read it and have no idea which sentences I'm referring to.

lol, I dare say lots of us own the Technical Manual and know the final chapters very well (I certainly do) it's referenced here often... you'll find we have all kinds of fans here, some have even worked on/with the franchise in an official capacity. Claiming that anyone who doesn't agree with your personal interpretation of a book [that presents suggestions from WeYu employees as they attempt to piece together events, and debate hypotheticals whilst looking at the evidence] must require a cognitive ability exam may lead many to believe you are one of those hateful cesspit dwelling opinion haters you mentioned. 😉 Welcome to the boards.

Quote from: SM on May 14, 2009, 11:31:55 PMAnd we're all thankful you weren't producing Alien3.

Yeah.  Everyone loves the drama of "And it was all a dream - everything you just invested in the last 90 minutes was pointless".

Why are you so hostile towards me?

I take it this is an official personal attack and an insult to my intelligence?

Isn't that your job @Local Trouble?

Got it sitting next to me. Those insinuations are there, I just ignore them coz they're lame and don't improve the films.

It is not even a native 4K scan but an upscale of the master used for the prior 2K release.

With further DNR and AI interpreting details frame by frame with no continuity so totally invented "detail" pops in and out of existence. Such as being unable to determine whether pores are facial hair or one and the same from scene to scene.

It's only good looking if you think the store mode they have TVs in's good  looking. Just horrendous "dynamic" trash.

It's funny how people have such a hard time even seeing a post that has a different opinion than your own. You just have to bite don't you?

I used to have a conspiracy theory that every once in a while the mods need a troll to keep the debate on the boards going. Of course I don't take such nonsense seriously. ;D

Na na na... this is 100% a wind up... 🤣

In the last few threads I've read in quick succession, this person;

1; cites the CMTM as reason why "Bishop is evil"
2; endorses the 'Aliens' 4k UHD picture quality
3; Praises 'Aliens Colonial Marines'
4; Laments the loss of Neil Blompkamp's pitch.

If this isn't fishing for bites I don't know what is. 😂

You almost had me, @Local Trouble - this is one of your trolling accounts/personas like Ralfy isn't it?? You shall not get me to bite. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
