Oh boy. Aliens has been my favorite movie since I first saw it in theaters. I will argue to the grave with anyone that it is the best sci-fi movie of all time by a mile. However, I don’t think anyone can deny it’s been all downhill for the franchise since then. Will this new one bring back some magic? Hope springs eternal, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
We do see a pulse rifle however. Last edited by NickyC; 06-04-2024 at 02:46 PM.. |

My favorite films are The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
I have been a fan since a child of the books and the movies (although modified from the book) are probably the best adaption of all time. I collect all the weapons and armor from the films and have an extensive collection of special custom pieces. Anyone else have LOTR up there at the top? |

The memorable quotes from Aliens are basically never ending. It was also a master class in having a diverse cast of actors, including a female hero, without making it looked forced or that an agenda was at play. You believed Vasquez was a badass. You believed Ripley was an absolute unit. Man do I miss 80s action cinema!

Yup, that Vasquez actress is quite feminine irl, she did an amazing job butching it up in that film.

I was never a huge fan of the movies-- but I could hold my own on the books. I wore more than one box set of paperbacks out in the '70's-'80's and still have a leather-bound copy of LOTR on my bookshelf. R.

Amazon - Rings of Power I watched about 15 minutes of it before I threw in the towel. Way too much liberties taken with established lore for me. Not interested in the show - maybe its decent fan fiction. It did have nice visuals and effects but that was it for me. |
