just thought i'd see, what was popular.. thumbsup.gif

I'm going to be honest with you, this is the only one that I've mangaed to watch all the way through. I did quite like what I saw of Alien and Alien Ressurection, but I'm not much of a gore fan, and WOW talk about over kill on the mingometer!
BurnSide
Which one was that Faire? Aliens? Predator?

My fav Alien movie was definately the second, Aliens. Mainly because of how action-oriented it was. But the first one was great for it's horror aspects.
The pred movies are a different story, they're absolutely fantastic in their own right and i find it hard to compare Alien movies to pred movies. Pred 2 was awesome though. thumbsup.gif
Disinterested
It's a hard choice really... they were all awesome! I think my least favourite is Alien 3 though.

Predator movies are AWESOME, the first being cheesy as hell, I loved it!
BurnSide
I ain't got time to bleed.

"hey, over here "...

I only compared the two types of film because of the new AVP movie, that was the only reason.... rolleyes.gif
Disinterested
No I understand that original.gif

They're all really different though.

I think I prefer the Predator over the Alien. grin2.gif
BurnSide
I've always been an Alien fan, but the Predators are freakin sweet. grin2.gif

haha well with that logic every film ever made was a vs film.
mr_halo
Aliens is the best because it has michael biehn and bill paxton in it, and they are ace, plus i love the whole marines thing, and plus the pulse rifles were good... thumbsup.gif
BurnSide
Yeah man.

State of the Badass art! Paxton was the BEST.
mr_halo
"i like to keep this handy, for close encounters", ah hicks..... thumbsup.gif
BurnSide
Hicks was cool, but to much of a typical soldier boy for me.
God i HATED that they killed him off in Alien3. What a STUPID thing to do!
mr_halo
he was killed off because michael biehn didn't want to be in the film, well so i read somewhere, he was so good in aliens, although he played the same character in terminator and aliens, i mean you could easily take kyle reese and put him in aliens and vice versa with hicks and terminator....

The most minging of all things is the alien that jumps into the escape pod full of people, and the guy who gets frozen (both in Alien Resurrection) I'm a bit of a traditionalist on the film front so I actually quite like the alien through the chest part of the original, and all the psycho analysis about it saying that it represents the male fear of birth.
Disinterested
halo, I loved Michael Biehn as both Hicks and Reese original.gif

Both the characters were the same, but they fit well. So awesome.
BurnSide
hahah i know.

It's funny how the crossed over.

James Cameron director of T2 and Aliens. Biehn in T1 and Aliens. Bill Paxton in T2 and Aliens. Bill Paxton also in Predator 2 along with the woman whoplayed Vasquez who was also Johns step mother in T2. Arnie in T1 and T2 as well as Predator 1.
Man talk about overusing the same actors!

I wanna see Terminator vs Aliens Vs predator. Woooot!
Disinterested
That'd be pretty cool. I love the Terminator!
mr_halo
who was bill paxton in T2?, i know he has a small part in terminator as a punk at the beginning, never saw him in T2, it was on the tv earlier... thumbsup.gif

actress that plays vasquez and bill paxton are in titanic aswell, another james cameron movie...

arnie and bill paxton is in true lies aswell, another james cameron film...

micheal biehn is in the abyss, another james cameron film...

bloke who plays bishop is in terminator, aliens and a vampire film with vasquez, all james cameron i believe...

he certainly have his faves..... laugh.gif
BurnSide
You're right i'm sorry i ment T1. Hicks and Hudson.

'No.. have you?'

hahaha

Screw Hicks. That poor dog in Alien 3. It was so hard to watch him suffer.

I LOVE THAT.
Everyones freakin out and he's done it so many times he's fallen asleep. haha.


Yeah, poor dog eh. What was that yellow stuff anyway?
mr_halo
anyway aliens is in the lead, come on people keep voting....eventhough aliens is the best film out of the bunch, so it will come out on top anyway...
BurnSide
A given.

predator 1
mr_halo
grrrrr..... tongue.gif
mr_halo
nobody has voted for alien 3, or the latest outing Alien vs Predator, i still really want to see that movie though, but i already know alien 3 was rather poor...
KT
i love alien the frist one the most but i love them all i dont care for predator at ALL.........
Talon

3 was enjoyable when you gave it a chance and stopped comparing it with the others (which blew it out of the water, except number 4). However, so long as it was compared with the others, it was always going to be a cheap re-run of Alien. sad.gif
BurnSide
It had it's moments like they all did. The direction they took the movie suffered but it was a good way to END the trilogy... until they brought her back. GOD.
mr_halo
yes, why did they have to do the old "lets clone her" scenario, there was really no need for a fourth movie, i can see why they did it, to make money, but they should of left it as it was a great triology, well the first 2 movies were great, and alien 3 was watchable...
Talon
Alien four could have been good, exccept they didn't take it seriously, the aliens talked to each other and showed a intellegence that went beyond the ant like mentality they had in the other movies; it had stupid bits like the alien using its second mouth to hit bottons; the monster at the end ws guff; the bit where the guy uses his chest busteer to kill someone else was like something out of a cheap B-movie. And the acting was hammy.

They totally seemed to forget 'ah, we're doing a serious sci-fi action monster movie here', and instead when with 'I think this would be coooool' no no it was just stupid.

And it was a pitty, cause the intial scenes with the military fighting the aliens had so much potential.
BurnSide
Yeah, agreed.
That part with Ripley having blood that could melt steel, and then the queen alien having a repoductive system and the alien/human hybrid at the end, okay, they were just making that up as they went along.
Talon

Most likely. If they do an Alien 5, I hope they do it like Aliens - dark, horror/action, serious. Maybe have the aleins on Earth, and have humans and aliens fighting in streets, destroyed homes, sewers etc in some kinda street war to make Stalingrad look like a local gang fight on a street corner.
mr_halo
i do not think they should make Alien 5 blink.gif , unless they let me direct it, because i know how it should be done, i'm a fan afterall....maybe i could do a prequel to alien, i mean whos ship was that, that the eggs were in?, plus prequels seem to do well usually.... rolleyes.gif
Disinterested
I think an Alien 5 would be stupid.

But I have to say I wouldn't mind seeing another Predator movie. whistling2.gif
Talon
QUOTE

But it was an alien ship, you wouldn't have any humans, which would take a lot out of the movie. I mean look at sci-fi's its always humans, or human-like species they centre on cause that what people are used to
mr_halo
for all we know the aliens whos ship it was, could of been the origins of the human race, we just don't know, i bet if they did a prequel they'd find a way of getting ripley into the film and bishop... tongue.gif

yeah a new predator film would be good, i heard a rumour once that they were going to do a predator in the past kind of movie, with the predator coming to earth during world war 1 or world war 2, or some war, i can't remember though...
Talon

Yeah, but we a dead one of the aliens, and they look weird.


I read that they aparently were going to do an Alien 5 and Predator 3, but they decide that the cost of both might not pay off so they'd be best just doing both series in a single movie, hence Alien vs Predator.
Disinterested
Doing AVP made sense.

Plus I really enjoyed it. I love the Predator! original.gif
BurnSide
I heard that there are talks between Weaver and Ridley Scott for Alien 5, the final Alien movie.

In it it would the the same as the comic and Book by S. Perry, EARTH HIVE, where Ripley is settling into her new home, and lo and behind, a man returns to earth impregnated with a queen. The aliens take over and destroy the earth. Would be HIGHLY entertaining, if done right. And by that i mean, IF done by Ridley Scott, since he did do the original Alien. James Cameron could pull it off too.

As for the new Predator, it's also rumoured, and the star rumoured is supposedly The Rock. :S Same with T3, he's taking Arnies roles.
mr_halo
the rock, oh my god crying.gif rolleyes.gif sad.gif
BurnSide
Yes.
My opinion exactly.

I'd prefer it not made, to starring the Rock.
Disinterested
Well, he's most likely a better actor than Arnold. tongue.gif
