I'm not very fond of any of the Alien films...

Screw you, asshole!

Kidding.

But seriously, that makes me sad for some reason. One of my ex-girlfriends who was generally into some really great stuff and typically had great taste in films refused to watch Alien because "the aliens were gross" (which is funny, because when it came to violent imagery, simulated or real, that girl never so much as flinched). I told her she should just give the first one a chance and she admitted that one of her ex-boyfriends talked her into going to see Alien vs. Predator with him and that was the only chance she felt the series needed from her. What a dumbass, introducing her to the series via a horrible spinoff only a lobotomized individual could enjoy (apparently, he really liked it, go figure). Wow, I haven't spared a thought for this girl in ages, but am still bothered by this.
