Just bought this today for the bargain price of £19.99 ... It has the original version AND the director's cut version of Alien! :D Also features an introduction by Ridley Scott, featurettes and audio commentary, the first draft of the original screenplay, and documentaries! Looking forward to watching it, which I'm about to do now! :D |

What's that Bob Burns Alien Collexion? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, guess what? Amazon.co.uk are selling this for 8.99! And yes, its the Special edition featuring both the new directors cut and theatrical version (take note George Lucas) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the set is great. quite expensive, but one of the best dvd-sets I've encountered. crammed full with extra's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't mind, since I feel it is worth £19.99 ... Yesterday I picked up AliensSE and Alien3SE -- the pair for £19.99 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not getting the 4th one :) |
||||||||
|

|
ThE thing is, in Aliens, the 57 years later bit actually occurs in Ripley's DREAM ... I don't believe anywhere else in the film it says it is 57 years later! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I already had AlienSE, and it was Buy One Get One Free, so I would've had to either NOT get a Free DVD, or get one I already had! And I only went out to look at the hookers. |
||||||||

the Bob Burns Aliens collection is an interview with Bob Burns, the guy who keeps hold of pretty much every single Alien (and all other sequels) film props he has built a massive museum type thing in his back yard to show it all off, it's brilliant i wish i could have some of the stuff he's got :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
while that is true, later on (in the special edition) when burke and her talk in front of the fake nature screen they say how old her daughter was when she died and how long ago she died, and how old she was when ripley initially left, and the math works out. so even though it was a dream, that aspect was still fact. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are correct mate thank you for making that clear to anyone who disbelieves the fact that Aliens is set 57 years after Alien :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK - I wasn't disbelieving, merely seeing if there were other pointers to the time-lapse :) cheers, John |

i love aliens! :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
there are little inconstancies in the whole saga, but i can't quite remember them all! lol it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come out at night.....mostly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too, it's my fave out of all of them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the commentary on the new aliensSE is outstanding. they're really funny. and insightful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"alien" wins, out of the series. for reasons I refer you to one of the older "alien"-threads. :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer Alien also, Alex :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alien is very very good in fact, i'm gonna say Alien and Aliens are level headed in the race :) they are both directed brilliantly, and the design of both of them is brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a man of taste! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they are both extraordinary, but aliens really just kicks my ass. |
||||||||

i am DYING to get hold of a decent working (as in moving parts) replica of the M41A Pulse Rifle heheh i'd get it converted to fire real bullets |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

I've built my own Bishop android. just pouring in the pints of milk as we speak. |

heheh *girly voice, a little smug* "well i have a class two rating" |
||||||||

|
|
heheheh are you gonna chuck it at the floor in silly positions too? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I spent a lot of time collecting enough clear plastic beads and cooking spaghetti, so.. NO ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe you like the word NO don't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's all sprout's fault. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Why do I dislike Aliens so much? Help me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a lot of macho stuff centering around adoration of army culture? I mean, I don't mind it that much, but I can see how someone could get annoyed by that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You won. Also, the characters are all extremely annoying and predictable. And I hate this film. T___T o__O |

I wish I had a little Newt all of my own! |

i used to love aliens above all of them but as i've got older i like it less and less and realise Alien is easily the best one. I even prefer Alien 3 to Aliens now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o.u.c.h. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

alien 3 is underrated. i think it has a cooler atmosphere than 2. it's just weird in its own right, even without an alien running around killing people. its too bad cgi was so terrible back then. its not scary enough. the first film is absolutely the best... |

pantamalion speaks the truth. away ye nay-sayers |

alien: the like of which ain't made any more.. fantasic - story is superb - script is excellent - FX are timeless aliens: perfect sequel....i.e totally different to first but continues the story flawlessly - my fave most quoted script ever - i absolutely love Gormans character...he's so underrated - "ok... listen up!" - "now move it people!" - "Ripley, what the hell are you doing?!!" Apone is fucking great - "Hudson..come here. COME HERE!" - "Nobody touch nothin" - his shift from badass drill sergant to confused squad leader is brilliant I could go on and on..... Alien cubed: - Nice style, story not bad, script is totally crap though - Bishop at the end was a nice idea but not pulled off amazingly well alien 4: directors commentary - 30 mins into it, by Sigourney Weaver "and this is where the film turns to utter utter shit and we ruin the entire fucking life-cycle idea cos i get too controlly. I apologise to all fans and I hope 'Aliens Vs predator' will make up for it but i doubt it" My last word: Story plus script equals good movie.. not fx, budget, etc... we have our brains for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I even prefer Alien: Resurrection to Aliens. Really. Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there was hardly any CGI in Alien 3 watch the Special Edition Alien 3 DVD and find out how they did it |
