I've seen the extended version of this movie over 80 times.

(80 * 2.5) / 24 = 8.333

A full week of my life consumed by this masterpiece.

It's yet to have gotten old.

Bill Paxton's performance is amazing. Sigourney Weaver's performance is amazing.

The clever use of models and tricky camerawork make for a look that is so much more pleasing and original than the CGI laden shit of the present.

So not crap it isn't funny.

When did this come out originally, 86? My dad took me to see this when I was around five-six years old. My first "R" movie and I had nightmares for weeks, still don't know what my father was thinking. Not Crap. Today, I slightly prefer Ridley Scott's Alien but not by much....

The rest afterwards though? Total crap.

Yeah, it came out in '86.

That reminds me:

I was walking through a local thrift store the other day and I nabbed the original Aliens VHS for twenty-five cents . It's not nearly as long as the extended version but it's nice to have.

I have the vhs also, been meaning to upgrade to the DVD. It is supposed to have a lot of deleted scenes left over from the old laserdisc.

Alien and Aliens are rotting apples and exploding oranges.

Not even in the same star system as crap, especially the special edition with the auto rifles that show the ammo countdown.

NOT CRAP! GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!

I want to like it, I just don't.

One of the only things the third movie got right was killing off Newt.

It's 2:50 AM where I live.

I just pulled my 4 year old son out of bed and beat the living shit out of him.

I told him it was because I had evidence that he had been stealing my booze while I was sleeping. I supported these claims with pictures that I drew on the backs of my personal business cards. When he argued that doodles of stick figures doing the Macarena on the back of a 2"x4" card don't prove a damn thing one way or another, let alone warrant such a vicious ass kicking, I beat him harder.

Anyway:

I'm not going to be so bold as to come out and say that this beating had anything to do with you voting Crap on such an amazing movie.

I'm not going to come out and say that this is a warning to anyone else who would dare to vote Crap on such an amazing movie.

I'm just not going to do it.


(Kidding.)

Aliens is so much better Alien. Aliens is so much better than most things in general. Absolutely not ever crap.

Mostly one of the best films ever. Mostly.

I LOVE ALIENS SO MUCH THAT I WISH I WERE A SPACE MARINE INSTEAD OF ME, AND THAT I WERE IN THE MOVIE EVEN THO I WOULD PROBABLY DIE!
