I'm hoping that I'll be back in SA next weekend. If I make a session that will be the second one this year... Sigh.

Nope, that's still a work in progress. I do have a potential job lined up but I also have a financial safety net if worse comes to worst. All things considered, I'll be glad to be free of this place.

Man, that film went through so many script changes and director changes. I still like the film.

In the comics, they have ranks, different xeno type, hive system, queen's rite of passage and so much behaviour/intelligence.

But it would be interesting to see Hicks and Newt instead of Ripley (or Ripley being in a coma). The Queen Facehugger would be interesting to see. But the whole alien universe isn't explored much in all the films. All we know in each film is they are there, and they are ready to fuck things up. Aliens is the only one that really showed us some information about them. Alien 3 showed us that it can impregnate other living things...other than that...they're still a mystery. While in the comics and games, they have more time and space to explore them more. I hope they really reboot the series from Alien Resurrection onwards...while sticking to the whole futuristic army they did in Aliens. Or even a bridge story about how the Coloney fell apart would be cool too. Love the series...sadly AVP killed it...AVP 1 wasn't too bad (it's fun to watch but not to take super seriously like the original series)...AVP2 was abysmal...fuck the brother straus. they promised us futuristic army at first, then they thought "what's more scary than aliens in space? aliens in your backyard..." and the replace everything with CGI. At least AVP 1 they build the 50 feet Queen :D On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 4:46 PM, Ilitirit Sama <ilitirit@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:ilitirit@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Watched 22 Jump Street last night. I liked how it makes fun of itself and kinda breaks the fourth wall (lots of quotable material), but then just like in the first movie it deteriorates into a steaming pile of double dog shit as it approaches the ending. When I got home I watched Alien and Aliens again back to back. This article on Alien 3 told me a lot about the movie I didn't realize (eg. they started filming before the script was even complete): http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/06/alien-3-a-haunting-failure I think I'll watch the Assembly Cut they talk about later tonight.
