And if it truly came off that way, I apologize. It had a ton of challenges in the making of it and was pretty much undone by Hill/Giler but the version closest to Fincher's version is pretty boss.

I "inherited" from my older brother's comic collection (ok, stole) the first two issues of what I think is the second series that begins with Hicks, Newt and Bishop on a spaceship, which has VERY James Cameron-esque visuals. Even though they're all available digitally I still find it fun to hunt them down at comic conventions so I can complete the story some day.<br />I'm also glad someone else quotes "Guess she don't like the cornbread either" other than me. I laughed so hard when you played that clip as I'd only mentioned it on Twitter the other day. Spooky!<br />Thanks for another great show!JimJamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376410657723784147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-30355258786799156182015-07-26T12:25:54.851-04:002015-07-26T12:25:54.851-04:00the aliens in Aliens are terrible,dudes in not ver...the aliens in Aliens are terrible,dudes in not very good rubber suits.<br />Aliens is my least favorite film in the series,Macho bullshit for the brain deadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-10215446197669176942015-07-26T12:15:00.818-04:002015-07-26T12:15:00.818-04:00Can I just say how awesome it is that you talked w...Can I just say how awesome it is that you talked with Mark Verheiden? His Aliens comics are fantastic and they're honestly films 3-5 for me, especially since Resurrection is oddly similar to Nightmare Asylum.

Then again, you used terms like "damsel in distress" and "prince coming to save her" a number of times, which leads me to believe we see it from different directions. You are looking for a fairy tale, good guys vs bad guys. <br /><br />I think it is made abundantly clear by the prison setting, religious overtones and about a billion lines of dialogue that in Ripleys story, and I feel this is her story despite what char may be in focus, we are beyond good and bad, right and wrong, it's all rather blurry.<br /><br />There are so many points you made I disagree with. You say Ripley does not show enough emotion about the death of Newt and Hicks -- she asks to be killed and commits suicide at the end, I'd say that is pretty strong emoting, our plucky little survivor gave up. So many strong chars are killed of without ceremony -- exactly. This is their world -- cold, dark, unkind. Compare the warm and joyful "breakfast" meal that opens ALIEN 1979 with Ripleys "Breakfast" in 3. We are not in that world anymore.<br /><br />I could go on and on. You complain about conventional plot elements then complain main chars get killed against convention. Make up yer mind! This is not "Another Alien Movie Out of the Alien Movie Machine". It is as you said an outlier, a different type of story.hecramseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672409024971136994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-18542385556487171232015-07-24T08:53:23.931-04:002015-07-24T08:53:23.931-04:00Added an errata section.
