They were able to give him supplementary training towards that goal. Keeping your eyes open through the shot is a fundamental part of proper marksmanship so that's what he was taught, proper marksmanship. hell yeah. I wasn't arguing. Robert Patrick did a phenomenal job.

That was great, thank you. I really like how he described him playing the T-1000. He wanted to look human, but something being... "off." Something slightly wrong with him. That's a great description.

They didn’t use Jones, what the gently caress? Edit— and if they’re going to use the chestburster, they might as well have used an actual screenshot from after it pops out of Kane. 4/10 good idea, sloppy execution

There's two toilets and a shower. I also like that with this layout that the captain and first officer get comparatively spacious almost 10 square meter quarters to themselves, and the other four are double bunked in two 3.75 meter quarters. Built in crew resentment.

roarpower posted:it really made a difference. Got forgotten just like everyone else in a CC role Robert Patrick also created his own unique take on the terminator instead of trying to copy Arnold's version. Also makes sense from a story point of view since the T1000 was designed to be a more advanced infiltrator unit and blend in better than the older model. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgibX4BCYBw

Is there a canonical/semi-canonical source for how much a synthetic costs in the Aliens universe? One of my players wants to play one, and I'm fine with that. But they are a rough and tumble just-barely-keeping-her-fueled freighter crew and I remember reading that a synthetic like Bishop is prohibitively expensive, so I'd want to help her come up with a background that makes sense (right now thinking she was "salvage," as well as play up all the things that would come up with grubby truckers with minimal security having what some scoundrels would consider a king's ransom in easily stolen and re purposed hardware, that kind o thing.

Ive said this in the Cinema Terminator thread, all Terminators after Patrick just copy him. Stern looks, walking slowly to them, etc. To make Terminator scary again, make the Terminator use pysche out tactics. Crying children sounds to lure people, tries to frame others as being terminators by dripping a bit onto them and looking like skin was blown away showing the metal skeleton beneath, tears off legs of people and uses that on him/her self to make it look they are human ("look hes bleeding so he cant be one of them"), taunting targets in order to unnerve them during combat, etc. Make the Terminator more TheThing, and holy poo poo you have a great film.

Owlbear Camus posted:Is there a canonical/semi-canonical source for how much a synthetic costs in the Aliens universe? No idea about actual figures, but in Labyrinth a freelance three-person family (and their two hired hands) on a small transport ship had their own botany/pleasure synth (Judy? Judith?). I've also heard mention of mass-produced strictly military models and basic laborers like the Working Joes, so there are definitely different manufacturers and models. I imagine a science officer on a corporate mining vessel or secret military mission would be far more costly and specialized than a manual laborer or 'companion', but that's like... Ferrari-level poo poo. Maybe your synth could just be a well-loved but high-mileage 2003 Civic with some tuning and one of those noisy fartcan exhausts.

Maybe the synth PC could be an older refurb? Police will sell off their old beat-up cars at auction when they get a new fleet, right? So maybe your PC synth was a top model ten years ago, and when the owners upgraded, they just memory wiped the old model and sold it off. Or maybe the synth was being transported as cargo on a ship that got in to trouble, and was kept as salvage? In order to offset the advantages that being a synth would bring (speed, durability, accuracy), you could balance it out by giving the player a random chance of having a slight malfunction. I'm picturing something like Pops in Terminator Genisys, where Arnie sometimes had his hands lock out or not respond properly. A older, refurbished synth would be bound to have a few glitches, right?

Most people realize Aliens is a killer title, but I still don't think it gets nearly as much credit as it deserves. Just... Aliens. That is simply a masterstroke of brilliant elegance right there. And it's just so freakin' evocative, too. No one has to ask "so what's the deal with this Alien sequel, what's it about" because you hear the title and you know exactly what the concept is and your mind immediately starts forming images trying to fathom just how much higher the stakes have suddenly been raised. And it's all accomplished without numerals, no subtitles, not even any extra words, just add one single little letter at the end. Like the academy should've invented a special Oscar that year for "Achievement in Film Title Creation" because lord knows Aliens deserves it.

Cameron had called a meeting to discuss his "next project." Everyone knew Cameron had written a treatment for Alien 2 that nobody would touch because Alien was not a massive financial success. Alien 2 was not on the table. We expected a professional pitch from Cameron, an outline and a treatment of what he had in mind with a cursory budget; perhaps a couple assistants to run a slide show. Instead Cameron walked in the room without so much as a piece of paper. He went to the chalk board in the room and simply wrote the word ALIEN. Then he added an 'S' to make ALIENS. Dramatically, he drew two vertical lines through the 'S', ALIEN$. He turned around and grinned. We green-lit the project that day for $18 million.
