Watched Alien (1979)

It ruled. Though the creature is kind of underwhelming in this one. The movie is at its best when the alien is off-screen. Still the best in the series. Everything else about it is great.

Edit: The face hugger obviously rules

Alien is in my rotating top 10 movies of all time

Masterpiece and better than Aliens in every way. Only a fat retard would say otherwise.

I haven't seen Aliens forever. Aren't the aliens better realized? (While everything else looks bland.)

WWAWD Tom Skerritt?

It's just a dumb pew pew action movie and I haven't bothered watching again in years. The thing that makes Alien so good is the atmosphere and isolation. Also making there only 1 threat works better than multiple xenomorphs. The video game Alien Isolation is PFG because it focuses on those things.

I thought about AntH too. It's so long ago that I watched the movie for the first time, it was before AntH got obsessed with the guy.

I really don't get why it's considered a classic like the first one. Some people even think it's better. I remember being completely bored when I watched it and felt no need to go back to it. I'd even put the newer ones above it.

I agree that the first one is much better. Not sure about the secondary antagonist though. Ian Holm's devious android was pfg but I also liked Paul Reiser's Jew.

Alien is pretty much superior to Aliens in every way. Aliens is really not even a good movie and ruins the franchise by turning it into a mindless action shooter film instead of science fiction and body horror. Old school fans of the franchise know that pretty much everyone liked Alien 3 more than Aliens. But now that reddit tier fags run all forums and social media they praise the stupidity of Aliens.

Only bad moment in Alien is when Dallas is in the vents and the alien hugs him to death. That stupid alien throwing its arms out shot looks embarrassingly bad. It is so obviously a person in a costume. No idea why they left that in. In Aliens they actually had a scene of an alien in the vents climbing down which was far better looking.

Back when Cameron wasn't a fucking huge low-t faggot. Do "the abyss" next and realize how fucking queer avatar is in comparison

Great movie. And in this current era of over the top “powerful women” characters, Ellen Ripley is a great example of a strong female lead without hitting you over the head with yaaas queen dialogue or comical bullshit. If they made this nowadays they’d have her knock out the alien with a punch and say some quippy line about the patriarchy, probably.

 

[Dog Eater]

I’d have fucked her right in her 12 year old boy body vagina back in the day.

 

[Brooke Shields]

okay then

WWAWD Life?

Absolutely, casting a female in this position served to further stack the odds against the leads survival, adding to the tension.

Its one of the best films ever made. A critic once made a comment about how nothing happens for about 50 minutes. That's why modern films feel so flat by comparison, you have to build a world, let it breathe and then turn it upside down before you start with the horror shit

Me: THANK YOU!!!!
I still love Aliens, but it's below the first and third in my book. I'd put it on par with Resurrection, which I also enjoy for the fun haunted house ride it is. Brad Dourif fucking rules.

Predator and Event Horizon are very much the same. Almost an hour before the real monster shows up. Predator is almost two movies in one. They have the mission against the Russians in the middle of the jungle. Then the fight against the Predator. Event Horizon is basically half of them exploring the ship and losing their sanity. And then doing everything that they can to get away from the ship.

In the first hour of Alien you learn a ton about the characters and the ship. And when you rewatch it knowing that Ash is a robot and working against them it is even more interesting. You even see Ash drink some of his motor fluid at one point.

In my opinion Aliens expands the lore in a good way, but aside from that it blows in comparison to Alien.

Have you fellas seen Outland?

I haven't watched it in forever, but you can easily assume this movie is happening in the Alien universe, just has drugs instead of xenomorphs. I think a lot of the people who worked on Alien worked on Outland which made it have a similar aesthetic.

It's also great because the other woman in the movie is a hysterical whiny cunt.
