Um...racist?

I was trying to find a "That's Age-ist" gif, but I had to settle for this one.

Ziggy is Homo-Superior (the coming race).

Any road up I'd be interested to see if there is any direct connection between the end of Prometheus and the last flight of the Nostromo.

Was Nostromo diverted on it's return journey to Acheron because of a company suit unearthing information about the earlier story?

Ash was put onboard the ship before take off so it seems unlikely to me that it was a standard Ore collection that by fluke discovered the derelict's signal.

What makes you say that?

Someone could get very offended if you basically called them racist when you meant something else.

Well, I was responding to something you were saying, and I just figured that you knew I was kidding.

But I know what you're saying.

^This is why we aren't allowed to have nice things.

Prometheus talk please.

Bingowings; let's hear your reasons why Aliens is overrated.

DON'T LEGITIMIZE HIS HATE WITH LOGIC!!!

I have.

I agree with Bingowings.

Alien is a masterpiece, a work of art. Every frame of film has you the edge of your seat.

Aliens is mostly just mindless action, mostly.

I am WONG just like Bingowings.

Fixed!

I understand why some people prefer Alien.  But to call Aliens mindless action is...well...mindless!

Some of those pics seem to be the opposite of what Ziggy's experiencing.

Yes...he's experiencing racism.

...

Er...speci-ism?

I liked Alien vs. Predator.* I think that it has a lot of potential as a storyline.

Certainly, Alien is still the best of the series, but there's nothing wrong with Aliens. Haven't seen any of the others.

Overrated isn't the same as crap.

It simply means overrated.

Cameron copied Ridley's lighting and much of the plot points but the tone is more comedic and cheesy, it has some awful special effects, the score is terrible...mostly and the choice of aspect ratio really does make the film look a lot cheaper and less epic than it needed to.

It's a solid action film (one of the best of the decade) with some really fun moments but it's not in the same league as the really troubling handsomely mounted horror of Alien.

Bizarre as it may seem I thought the first AVP was much better than it really should have been with the premise and all (the second one is everything I expected the first one to be).

It's more Aliens' cousin (guest starring those Rasta crabs from Predator) than Alien's.

But BACK ON TOPIC.

What about the backwards stretching story thread in Alien?

Ash being on board couldn't be just a coincidence.

Aliens really isn't much more than a silly action film.
