Aliens. They mostly come out at night.

Aliens is an anagram for "saline". Alien is not. Therefore, win.

salt of the earth you are lumpy

I don't understand how anybody could not still love Aliens. I still absolutely love it.

 

yep it's great. better than alien.

 

Thank fucking christ somebody around here is sane enough to say that. Alien is fine, but Aliens is truly timeless. I can talk all the (valid) shit I want about Cameron and nobody will ever take Aliens from him.

Both films are 10/10 for me. I am glad they are so radically different but both are equally superb. I watched Alien and Aliens last week for the first time in about 15 years and both still slay.

If I had to choose 1 film though it would be Ridleys version, because of the sheer amounts of silent, shadowy menace. That sort of thing gets my imagination running more than Camerons shoot 'em up.

It's each to their own I guess.

Love the David infomercial. It's looking like my favorite aspect of the movie so far.

 

Has anyone discussed the possibility that...

David will interface w/ the alien lifeforms and the resulting offspring will become the bio-mechanical giger styled aliens that are eventually encountered in the original film series? It seems like a possibility in keeping with the xenomorph's tradition of taking on the characteristics of it's host.

 

 

I think that would be a very fascinating revelation, should it turn out to be true.

Nice idea, I think that

quite interesting...

I find many species to be interesting, including porpoises, swine, a variety of arachnids and other creatures. Some of the smallest, most insignificant creatures are the key to evolution.

For example, were you aware that a large multitude of insects do not rely on muscles, but on a fluid inside of their exoskeleton that works similar to hydraulics? This, in some ways, could prove to be beneficial for a species’ survival.

i asked him if he was designed to feel sexually attracted to humans, and if so, did he have a sexual orientation?

That David promo was awesome, I can't wait to watch this

felt-ch asked: Hello David, I was wondering what your "blood" consists of. Do you have a synthetic liquid cooling compound pumping around your body, or how do you work?

 

 

I use a micro-pressurized hydraulic actuator system along with frictionless joints to achieve maximum reflexive mobility. I have thousands of small fans distributed in specified locations throughout my body that allow the heat to exit through my synthetic skin in the same manner that my human counterpart would exude body heat.

Fishing to see if he has acid for blood!

LOL at the "your hammer would break" comment

If this isnt official, someone is spending an awful lot of time coming up with pretty robust answers so far

LOL! I wondered if that was you!

It's great that they're allowing the daft questions and answering them with a straight face though. I had a good question which I've now forgotten... sigh

Going by that underlined answer, I'd guess it's not official. That answer seems like someone trolling.

yeah i thought that.... small fans?

lol

James Cameron is a co-founder, and presumably public-face, of the galactic mining business, Planetary Resource Inc. Cameron is Weyland?
