QuoteI bet because of its appearence. I wanted too, the first time I watched it.
That, coupled with the way it acts...everything about the damn thing was just...what's the word I'm looking for...stupid?
QuoteBecause you didn't read enough behind it.
I have rewatched this move so many times in an attempt to like it, and it is the
only movie with aliens in them that I have not grown to like. The
only one. Despite all my rewatching, and despite all my english lectures hammering into me techniques for analyzing works of literature and art, I never saw said message. I mean, the first time I saw
Alien I immediately picked up on the rape undertones that so many people, even in these forums, haven't picked up on. This newborn does such a piss poor job in conveying the message you say it does that I don't hate it because of the tampering that happened to it, nor do I sympathize it: I hate it because it is just plain stupid and not in keeping with anything in the alien franchise. So they may have intended to send one message, but they ended up sending another.
QuoteIn fact I said after a viewing, which means the whole film. Plus we already had seen the different eggs.
The eggs were practically the same as every other alien film. Nothing different in the slightest, save for minute design changes administered by ADI to make them for...
lively.
