"Marines! We are leaving!"
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 08:31 PM by WilliamPitt
I'm watching the special DVD edition of 'Aliens.' *Such* a good movie. I haven't seen it in years, and the extented version is phattt.

"Get away from her, you BITCH!"

2. Cameron knows how to put a story together
Terminator 2 is an excellent example of how to keep the action going

3. Yes! Its way cool!
I bought a copy just last week. The additional footage should have
never been deleted IMHO...adds so much more to the story.

I also picked up the special edition of Escape from New York...
another classic!

4. About fifty US Marines were in the audience
When I first saw Aliens. It was when I was stationed in Korea.

They loved it. Cameron got every Marine joke on the money.

They loved the battle royale at the end too.

She played an internal affairs investigator who questioned Jack about his drug use.

33. You bring up a good point, Will.
Alien is, clearly, the more intelligent of the two pictures. Where as the second film relies on big explosions and cheesy dialogue to satisfy its audience.

Truly, this is a microcosm of the classic debate between intelligent art house pictures versus big budget hollywood blockbusters.
