Alien 5

Lol I had almost forgotten about that bloody white alien thing. Nearly.

On par with the predalien as being g a shit monster.

And has anyone actually ever watched Aliens vs. predator 2 all the way through?

I did and I have the emotional scars to show for it.

Haha Alien 3 is not a bad film for a directorial debut by David Fincher - who disowned the film because of the shit they made him do to it, it's potentially amazing, and defiantly part of the canon.

Has anyone ever made a good part 3 to a classic movie?

Yeah, Goldfinger was the third James Bond movie ;D

alien 3 would be pretty good if it weren't for alien and aliens.

alien and/+ aliens stories was perfect. alien 3 just ruined it for me completely ...i don't even want to talk about alien 4

imo, another good alien movie could be made if they approach it seriously, meaning back to the roots and go from there. the alien: isolation game set the fire nicely, if they would be willing to follow the example. so, sequel of either alien of aliens would be fine with me.

alien 3 was the first one i saw, on TV late night, alone, 12 or so.. definitely left an impression lol, the fan grinding thing, the messed up Bishop...

in retrospect a bit meh with the jail monk rape gang n all, but nice bleak athmo at least..

i like 4 better than 3

let's have a moment of silence for william gibson's original draft to Alien 3, which would've been truly amazing.

Is that different to the Vincent Ward version then?

Apparent 8 different writers were commissioned to (independently) write scripts.

Here, find out more at the fucking Alien vs Predator wiki (lol).

Aliens was shitty, too. I mean it was nice until meeting aliens, then all this war zone (aliens fucked them up good but of course they could totally escape out of the dead end trap with firepower) and beehive's large motherfucking Queen bullshit came and completely destroyed the alien aspect of Alien. Giger himself said something about how Alien 3's thing was better than Aliens one despite fucking him over in production.

Though Alien numero uno is probably drfiting around in my top 5 films of all time, I'm no geek on the franchise whatsoever. My interest starts and finishes with this film (and the sequel). I do think there is massive potential for more Alien films but you need to draft in serious writers and concepts and not just marketing men and accountants. That's the inherent problem with Alien TM surely?

I read this a few years ago, had a very prominent role for Hicks again (Biehn always watchable.) Probably the weakest of the scripts though, it just never held my interest like the other alternatives.

Fair enough, but keep in mind those were first and second drafts. Try to imagine them massaged into a final product.

Alien is an horror movie.

Aliens is an action movie.

Alien³ is a drama.

Alien 4 is a comedy.

 

Edit: the Aliens versus Predators are documentaries. Or maybe musicals. I dunno.

It'll be total shit, as if this isn't obvious?

 

I don't think the contemporary creative industry is able to produce something which can properly connect to the original film.

Fashion, marketing, technology, are all very different now. This will be utter shit, like all the other reboots, games etc.

So much truth in this post that it hurts. Guys, Hollywood is dead. You can't expect anything good coming out of it. It's filled with people with no taste and the few that have it are totally controlled by system. They want to appeal to everyone and make the most insipid products. It's not cinema anymore. We have an entire generation who grew up with videogame narratives writing films. Games aren't turning cinematic, films are turning into videogames.

If Prometheus had come out in 1986, people would have a drastically different opinion of it imo.

Alien 4 had great set design and fun actors

Peak Winona

I'd love to see Louis CK mutilated by an alien in an awkward way.

But much more than that, if I'd put a comedian I'd clone Gervais and have him die miserably all through the movie.

Sam Kinison vs a Xenomorph would've been pretty gnar

louis is fantastic etc etc

 

i assume you have heard all the arguments by now.

 

i like gervais too, people get confused and think you can't be funny unless you're this weird idealistic personality that doesn't exist except in really boring people.

Actually I can't picture Louie not making the scene funny. I get what you're saying but I really want to see Ricky terrified and in agony. I like him or liked him a lot but it's a thing he's too content with himself.

Sweeping generalisation that has been valid since Hollywoods conception and is no more valid or correct now.

makes me laugh every time Millenials pass final judgement on society.
