Sorry I disagree so hard with the Aliens 3 killing off Newt and Hicks immediately take, it sucks. Would much rather they went with the clone idea a movie early if they wanted such a hard refresh

Thanks for covering some of my favorite movies (my son's name is Ridley...). My grandpa taped Aliens and Big Trouble in Little China off of Showtime in 1987, which is probably the videotape I watched the most in my life. RE: version, my first love is the Theatrical, partly because of nostalgia, but also because I think the beginning unfolds so nicely when you discover the colony as a ghost town.

If you own the movie on Movies Anywhere, it also includes the special edition and both commentaries.

Can I offer a defense of Alien v. Predator? I don't think it's a particularly artful or thought-provoking movie, but it's fun in its own right. I think it's more useful to think of it like a move in the same vein as the director's (Paul WS Anderson) other movies--e.g. Resident Evil--rather than a mainline Alien movie. You got Sanaa Lathan, two fun movie monsters, and kind of a John Carpenter's The Thing vibe. What's not to love? The second AVP is indefensibly awful though. You can skip that.

Speaking of how fun the slide looks to do as an actor, X-Ray fed me this delightful IMDb fact during that scene: “When filming the scene with Newt in the duct, Carrie Henn kept deliberately blowing her scene so she could slide down the vent, which she later called a slide three stories tall. James Cameron finally dissuaded her by saying that if she completed the shot, she could play on it as much as she wanted. She did, and he kept his promise.”

You all forgot that there was already a perfect Aliens video game and it's called 'Halo'

Wow psyched to hear TLA get name dropped

Patrick Donges

Does this mean there will be SPECIAL EXTENDED EDITION commentaries forthcoming?

Brent Carroll

All the Aliens extended editions are on HBO Max! It’s very frustrating because it’s located below in ‘extras’ but they are there

Sorry I’m an idiot

I always assumed Arcturian poontang, was referring to just another planet where humans had already colonized and that it was humans from that colony

The Special Edition is on iTunes. It’s just in the special features. Just like Mad Max with the Blood and Chrome edition. You also auto have it if you have it on iTunes/Apple.
