    Alien vs. Predator would be awesome if it was just thousands of predators and thousands of predators waging war with humans with rakes in the middle. That would be the best movie of all time. Nothing but death, destruction and Alien kicking ass

    I still remember going to see Alien. I was 18, and a group of us went to San Francisco to the (now defunct) Northpoint theater. The theater had at the time the largest screen around and sat ~1,000. It was sold out!
    Just simply an incredible group experience. When the chestburster erupted people went apoplectic. Literally girls ran screaming down/up the aisles.
    I have seen several great movies in packed houses: Alien, Star Wars, Predator (an experience in itself I will discuss somewhere), Pre-release different cut of Fatal Attraction, Batman, Blazing Saddles, The Hunt for Red October, and the group experience really made them even more memorable.

    Randall, it was like that when I saw The Mist. There theatre only had ten people in it so I could hear each persons reaction separately. This one woman was always going 'OH MY GOODNESS!' and it fit perfectly with the movie. Everyone on screen is screaming and fighting and here she is 'OMG!! NO!!!!'

    Another great aspect of Alien was that without the internet, and with the studio restaining itself by showing trailers that didn't give away ANYTHING, the movie was a true experience. We went in with no warnings, no preconcieved notions, just the raw eyes wide open ability to be shocked, scared, enthralled in THE very moment.
    Additionally, the HR Giger set pieces were so beyond what my limited 18 year old mind had ever seen as to be not only jaw dropping, but (I'm sure intended), mildy erotic. The sense of them entering a scary, dangerous, lethal spaceship that was evocative of sexual genatalia, yet so very very dangerous brought to the screen the frightening parts of my own teenage sexual awareness.
    Perhaps TMI, but that's how it was.

    The most recent aliens have been my faves (the last two) so I'm stoked about a new one!

    I have always liked the Alien movies and wish I had the boxed set. I actually watched them out of order. I remember watching Aliens with my dad and brother (video not theater ) and then watching Alien all by myself on TV at night while my parents were out somewhere ( ). They were awesome and still are.

    The box set is one of my prized possessions. It has a full DVD of extras per movie, the theatrical release and the director's cut of each movie and an overall special features dvd. Interestingly, Weaver is not interviewed on any of them. The audio commentary on Aliens is fucking awesome, heaps of information on there regarding production problems and set issues that James Cameron and his producer-wife dealt with on the UK set.

    It also has screen tests for some of the actors in Alien, including weaver. Ripley was originally intended to be male but they changed the gender after a few early drafts - Veronica Cartright (Lambert) was originally going to play Ripley but they were so impressed with Weaver they changed them. Thank god

    Ryder is interviewed as part of the special features for the 4th movie. Its pretty funny in light of her clepto issues that was all over the press about 10 years ago - at one point she says something like "I've been such a huge fan of the movies since I was a little girl - I'd find myself just stealing props from the set when I was working". The interview must have been before hew little troubles with the law.

    How gross is this:

    The face hugger carcass that Ash autopsies was made using fresh shellfish, four oysters and a sheep kidney to recreate the internal organs.

    Aliens is one of my all time favorite movies.

    No one can ever say..."Get away from her you bitch!" the same way again.

    I didn't like 3 because the girl didn't live I really wanted her too.

    I got severely stoned yesterday and watched Aliens and Predator back to back.


    Oh yeah, Newt annoyed me too. I was routing for the facehugger in that medical lab scene!

    Carrie Henn is one of the main commentators for the Aliens audio commentary version, and she admits to hating that line aswell. She said "Thats all the other kids would say to me in the playground after that, I was so embarassed" - bahaha

    The director's cut of the 3rd is a vastly different movie - there was alot of flak between the studio and David Fincher regarding the theatrical release. Fincher's cut is about 40 minutes longer and includes entire plotlines that are cut out of the theatrical. The ox instead of the dog is one (and even though the dog scene is pretty horrible, the alien bursting out of a dead ox hanging in the middle of an abbatoir is pretty cool too), Ripley is found first washed up on a beach and then the craft is found, and the prisoners manage to trap the alien in their storage facility, before the crazy guy kills the guards and lets it out. I think it makes a much better movie.
