Alien Anthology/Blue Ray
I'm watching Aliens now.
I saw Cpl. Hicks and remembered that I'd bought a camo vest at a used clothing shop that had "Hicks" on it many years ago in L.A., so I pulled it out of my closet.

'Tis not the same as what he wore.
The story would have been much cooler if it ended up being a prop. Oh well.

Watched the 2003 director's cut of Alien 3 with him, today. I wanted to give him time for the reality of Corporal Hicks and Newt to sink in before I showed them getting erased in the first 5 minutes of the next movie.
I'd forgotten, the director's cut is actually a much better movie. It has time to breathe and everything makes a bit more sense. I had forgotten they removed the alien bursting from her chest at the end. Wonder why, seemed ok that she held on to it as she fell in the original.
Tomorrow Alien: Resurrection, assuming his school is cancelled because of the cold, again.

It's best everyone forget that piece of shit existed.
EDIT: Wait, wait, wait. Cancelled due to cold? Buy some coats and antifreeze. Wuss.

Hell, as far as I'm concerned there have been two Alien movies and one Predator film.

Stephen Spielberg made Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, that doesn't mean Jaws sucks.

That's different. Jaws is proof that Steven had talent at one point.Leisher wrote:Stephen Spielberg made Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, that doesn't mean Jaws sucks.

Most human beings not composed of mostly hatred and bile think Whedon has made a few decent movies and TV shows.
I can assure you that The Avengers was a really good movie.

No disrespect to the kid, but #1 is for adults with an attention span and who understand characterization.
I'm sure most kids would rank Jaws 3 above Jaws because of Seaworld, 3D, and the higher body count.
