I never saw Boiler Room but understood it's a similar premise. Worth checking out?
The movie doesn't work if it doesn't go "supernatural". You want a movie about a kid poisoning a family? That could be ok but that's not what this movie is. This movie is odd, uncertain, mysterious, and frightening. It's fucking beautiful.

What does that mean?
It means these people have too much time to devote to the most useless of things.

"Alien 3 is probably one of the most unfairly maligned movies in existence. Yes, killing of Hicks and Newt was a major letdown, and it wasn't as good as its predecessors, but at least it wasn't campy."
Yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with Aliens 3. I hate what they did to Hicks and Newt. But, the Alien universe is not like Star Wars or Star Trek. It's a cold, rough reality. It doesn't give a shit about what good people deserve or the happiness they've earned through their victories. Death can come for anyone at anytime. That said, it's real hard to get over how they treated the survivors of ALIENS. It's realistic for the universe they created but it's almost unfathomable how anyone thought this was the right direction to go. Even so, Alien 3 is miles better than that pos Resurrection. At least I can take Alien 3 seriously.
I knew that clip was going to be Kim Flowers' ass. Well done.
At the end when Greg's like "You made your own movie! Do you know how many people have done that?" And Tommy in all seriousness says "A thousand."
I had the same thought. This isn't The Dead or Phish where every show is a completely different set list. U2's set list would be nearly identical for the entire tour. They're not really a band people would follow on tour.
Yeah, we have a bunch of armed soldiers to contain and fight any threat that breaks out what happens when that threat does happen? They immediately send them off the ship. WTF?
Have Gun Will Travel
The Rifleman
Maverick
All are really good though with Maverick it depends which Maverick you get, Bret and Bart eps are usually good.
In Alien 3 we see one of the eggs hanging upside down so it's probably attached with the xeno's secreted resin. That resin was strong enough to secure fully grown humans to a wall to allow the facehuggers to impregnate them. Stands to reason that it could remain intact due to the vacuum. We even see Ripley climbing out of the airlock against the force of the vacuum.
I'm not saying all this was planned by the filmmakers or makes the most sense but I can suspend my disbelief for this one.
The Queen ripped free from her ovipositor to chase Ripley. I have absolutely no trouble believing that there was an egg or two still in her when the process was interrupted.
On the Sulaco the Queen is alone for a while Newt hides under the floor and Ripley is getting into the power loader. She could have easily deposited some eggs somewhere in the event she didn't survive.
Lemonade, that cool refreshing drink.
I read it too and IIRC it ends with her staying at a cabin with him. I don't know where the poster above you get's that she was "repulsed by him" in the book.
Great film. Insanely rewatchable.
Yeah, there's Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, who is the Batman on Earth 2. Here's the wikipedia page on the DC Multiverse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse_(DC_Comics)
There's alternate versions of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. on most of them.
I love this movie too but I really wanted to comment to say this is one of the most thought out, polite thread discussions I've ever seen. If only most other people acted like you fellas the internet would be a much better and smarter place.
DC Comics is all about the multiverse and alternate versions on infinite Earths. In fact, many of their crises involve these infinite Earths. This is nothing new nor anything they stole or copied.
Phenomenal film. Superbly acted, directed, written, and shot. A beautiful piece of art.
Absolutely watching. Good to have it back on the air after that cancellation BS.
Hahahaha, I'm totally complicit in a major sex scandal cover up, hahahahahah!
Tom is fucking great. In another world a good man perhaps but in this world, Tom.
