That's retarded and you don't know what you're talking about. They're both about equally good, for different reasons.

A month or so ago they were showing Alien on AMC and I recorded it on my DVR because I hadn't seen it for like 30 years. It was a little slower than I remembered, but still good. Later I was showering and the cats decided to race all over the upstairs and I was sure it was an alien coming for me.

Nah you're still wrong. It's great. I mean, it's a sci-fi/horror movie, so obviously most of the horror part is gone after the first watching, the but all the sci-fi is still there and still just as good as ever.

Other than that they're mining raw resources from outside the solar system, which is not believable, and then it's from a solar system several stars removed, which is super not believable. But other than that, it's all solid.

That's always been the plot though iirc. At the very least the xenomorphs have always been treated as a bioweapon even in the absence of their creators.

What has that got to do with discovery channel aliens-are-responsible-for-human-civilization crap? Where was anything like that in A1-2?

No poo poo; I showed Alien to my girlfriend who at the age of 30 hadn't seen any of the films as she's usually really squeamish about scary movies and (despite her frustrated interjections of "Don't go down that scary hole and stare directly at that egg at close range, fuckwit! Aarg, why don't they just leave him out there he's clearly hosed!)" by the middle of it she was saying "Yup, we're definitely watching the second one", and then at the end of Aliens she was saying "Those were great, are there any more sequels or movies set in the same universe?" and then she asked me what was wrong because I'd started crying real hard but real quiet.

At *least* Alien 3 ends the series on the correct note: everyone who has ever come into contact with the aliens dies. At least they got that right.

I will give them the faintest praise in that the DVD release was at least a unremarkable-to-middling movie as opposed to the theatrical cut where among other things the queen bursts out of her as she's jumping into the molten steel and she breaks its neck on the way down what the gently caress.

But gently caress them forever for killing off Newt and Hicks and rendering the entire second film worthless.

good news for you, neill blomkamp is going to make his alien fan film where he brings back newt and hicks and ripley and they will all be old and it who cares.

The fact that it has such achingly beautiful production design, such a wonderful cast, and a solid concept (even if "Chariots of the Gods" is loving old hat). That's what makes people so pissed when people go "well I liked it you can't expect more."

I like Prometheus because any time you mention it, nerds start completely sperging out and posting huge page long rants about how it's terrible and you're wrong to like it and that Ridley Scott actively betrayed ~the fans~ and lied to them.
