There we have what?  Me not caring about Alien 3's choices versus the original Alien?  Yes, absolutely; on that score I am guilty as charged, and happily so.
Yes. Clearly the Alien actually shown eating is an affront to all that Alien made sacred.

You're one of those people. It all makes sense now. ;D

I never really thought it was eating. In that scene it looks like it's half biting half humping. But if it needed to eat, surely the human bodies in the xeno hive from Aliens would have been skinned to the bone, what with the large number of aliens and all...

Oh, pish tosh.  That's not at all what I said and you know it.  I actually love Aliens and like a fair many things about all 3 sequels, even if I can't stay awake through 3 all the way through.  What I said is that in terms of 'alien biology,' I go by the first film first - in that film, the alien is never shown needing to consume to grow, nor is it in fact shown to do so in Alien 3.  Therefore, your argument has no legs.  I never said anything about the alien consuming or not consuming being unacceptable - it simply was never established as necessary.  The alien simply...grew.  Same as Prometheus.  Game, set, match.

The first film doesn't give you anything to base how the Alien grows one way or the other. You're just making excuses for this film's lazy writing.

Nor does this one.  So what?

And you're demanding I adhere to a double standard that has no basis in the films.  And the really hilarious part of this is, neither one of us has actually seen the movie.

SpeedyMax, you will get exactly the film you deserve. Congrats. :)

I accept that white flag.

I don't know how I'll feel about Prometheus, how it'll play in actuality, but I like most of what I've heard, and I do know that what I'll get is a film, if nothing else, is a film I kept an open mind about.  That's enough for me.  All the pre-game quarterbacking is silly, it's just a movie.

people... chill pill! Relax thy tits.  It's just a f**king movie. :laugh: :-*

It seems that you are not applying the same sense of logic to the earlier movies....
...it seems you haven't even seen the earlier movies.
Ditto...

An open mind is a terrible thing in these forums. If you want to fit in sir Speedy, you must get negative, and quick. We must accept that Prommy is gonna be total shit, a mess, lazy and then we'll be like the rest of the cool kids! Lolz :) :)

Okay guys, can it. Move on.

I never expected the professional critics to be so generous. I'm quite surprised.
