I just picture a bunch of marines just popping into existence onscreen so the squad keeps getting bigger as they get more panicked.

At that point in the script they’re just boarding the APC, which means Marines are appearing out of thin air inside the vehicle. That makes it a lot funnier for me.

Kramer and Rocky costumes, specifically those incredibly cheap kids costumes with the names on them so people know what they're supposed to be

We never see them appear they just step into shot to say their line. They're not in any previous shots but they're in every subsequent one, with the APC becoming increasingly and visibly crowded. When the door opens they all fall out in a pile.

Well that's certainly something.

Ok goon project. We're going to make this extended scene. I have $10,000 to fund it.

Have we talked about the upcoming Alien prequel with Scott at the helm again? Any speculation as to what it's going to be about? Like I'm kinda prequeled out, but I'm also not going to pass on more stories in the alien universe.

tracking shot as he looks through the glass into the nursery at a crib labelled "Ellen Ripley." This is in a very, very special light and you can just see how this little girl would have taken in some very, very special information from this.

You see, there is more to Elly's Special Destiny than how well you understand it yourself. Elly may feel you must understand it in order for you to care and be loved by her but really, if you are a father, you care about your wife, your kid, your baby, and it is not that easy of a task to go on with the business of loving each other and trying to solve problems for them.

I am not telling you that Elly is perfect. There is something a little bit, what it is called, in the recesses of her being that is so much like an angel from Heaven that is quite beyond, far beyond even the very basic concept of marriage (though this child is very much within the basic...

DIALOGUE

INTERIOR, Maternity Ward, April 16th, 2012

"I remember when I was six I was very young and there was very few things in life I missed. The first time that I went away on a honeymoon and I was five months old, I thought I was going to lose someone so I was happy to go to sleep on the bed and wake up and I saw a large golden retriever named Gus staring at me with its eyes wide open while holding my hands and I thought, 'Oh my God, this is someone I should see my father' and the next thing I knew, Gus was on top of me and he was licking my hand and trying to rub it and he was very gentle and he kept saying, 'I love you...oh my God! I love you...' and I was thinking, 'Oh, he loves me' and then I think I knew and I said, 'Gus, come in, come in, come in'.

"I told my dad what had just happened and I went right out and did some shopping and he was home and I didn't know what to think. The day that I left he went looking for me and said, 'I've got you looking good at our house and you look like a nice boy, but, you know, my mom has told me that you're going to see him as soon as possible and I think she had said this when she came back."

Not sure that Gus the Talking Dog is the right character for an Alien prequel but I’ll roll with it.

Do you think Ridley Scott knows how bad the scripts are to his prequel movies, or do you think he's all "gently caress it this how I keep an unlimited budget to try out any filmmaking technique I want."

I feel like that's both the correct take and an unanswerable question, duder. We live in the sad times of cash-outs and unlimited cheap CGI.
