This doesn't really suit the other film thread. Not saying that one isn't fun.
So I post it here --
Poster for the new Alien movie directed by the dude who did the 2013 Evil Dead "remake" and Don't Breathe. I imagine a trailer is on the way.
Would have rather had Neill Blomkamps cancelled film:
Michael Biehn is the 20 million-dollar-salary-per-film action hero that never was.

I THOUGHT HE WAS A MACHINE
Another thing while we're on the subject of Terminator 2.
It's crazy (not that crazy) that the deleted scenes from The Last Action Hero didn't show up until the 4k UHD release. And with them, one additonal Terminator 2 reference that I found funny to discover. 30 years after TLAH film was made.
2017 above - no grain and Dr Silberman is very waxy. It looked so extremely bad when I saw this one in both 3D and 2D back in 2018. Like a videogame or one bad upscale (@Rubysdad @Santos L. Halper - keep an eye om that Single Video Theory upscale you are doing instead of going back to the film elements). A shot from a 35mm print scan below.
Mistakes in the grade also present. Now the future scenes are in a monochromatic blue with even the lasers being blue. Also lack of grain.
And that is why one of my life goals since I was... eh... 25 maybe... has been to get to see a screening of Terminator 2 on a film copy (35 or 70mm). I have had the chance to watch a copy from 1984 of The Terminator on 35. Even with the 80s swedish subtitles present which was cute. But never the sequel.
The movie did not disappoint and over delivered. Amazing!
Loved that dude. Was so excited when I saw he was going to be in The Rock, and then 30 minutes in, my hopes dashed.
Would have loved to see that Blomkampf sequel just for Hicks and Ripley, but to be honest I’ve lost a bit of faith in him as a director. Still would have watched the hell out of that.
Alien and Aliens are my absolute favorites. Having met Ripley herself on one occasion, Sigourney is awesome! If you are a fan, highly recommend the two coffee table book size Making of books on those two movies. Stunning. Tons of info, pics, and background on the two projects.
Cool to hear you story! I saw it first in VHS here in Sweden, so must have been in 1992. And I was 7-8 years old.
I remember it very well.
My mom used to get films on VHS cassettes copied off the TV from my aunt that had "movie channels". Me and my brothers had put on one of those cassettes and seen a bit of a big shoot out scene in a big city.
We asked my mom if we could watch the whole film. She thought we were talking about Terminator 2 which she has just bought on VHS (the film we had seen was Predator 2 I realized years later) and argued with my dad if we would be allowed to watch it. My mom won. We got to see it. With her fastforwarding through the more horrific things in it.
We later watched it like at least once a week for several years.
I feel like the effects on the queen are pretty stunning. And I always love Michael Biehn, Lance Henrickson, and of course, Mr. Bill Paxton. He is definitely the shit. Or for you Weird Science freaks, the Chit! 😜
As a super nerd here. I love Dark Horse Comics’s first 3 volumes of Aliens comics, especially the first two volumes. They are a direct sequel to Aliens, with Hicks and Newt as the main characters. First volume dealt with Earth, Weyland corporation, and the consequences of trying to monetize/weaponize the aliens. It did not end well. Good stuff.
IF THERE IS ONE TIME YOU SHOULD GET POPCORN IT IS NOW
Alien 3 is just such a good looking movie. And you have all these british actors acting with such authority (like the actors did in the first film) instead of everyone being "Breakfast Club"-goofy like in Aliens.
But whatever. Their idea of putting the films in the hands of "artists" were pretty cool. Inlcuding part 4. This obviously stopped with AvP.
Seems that test screenings has been luke warm.
David Gordon Greens Halloweens trilogy was bafflingly bad and misguided.
The poster just arrived:
Exorcist III is amazing. If anyone hasn't seen it. With George C. Scott going crazy.
One should be wandering around, outside, while doing that. Avoiding movies and mirrors, imo.
Would have loves to see a movie following the 73 one with oroginal cast coming back. But I don’t think having young girls being possessed is the answer on how to do it exciting.
