Hey James, you and Mike need to play Alien Isolation!! :D

The best Scifi/Horror series without a doubt.

[@idadru]

James and Mike should explore the ALIENS lore that is exposed via the various ALIENS and ALIENS vs Predator games.

[@KikBlava]

I'd say they should play Alien Isolation, Aliens vs Predator on the 360, or better yet, Aliens vs Predator on the SNES.

I'm sure there's a small number of professional critics who "just" watches movies....but a many of them were either film students or were involved in the industry prior to becoming critics. Even the critics who doesn't fit the aforementioned mold enjoy learning and are usually fascinated by movie production and "behind the lens" filming process. The statement "they only watch stuff" is rather inaccurate.

[@Ekulioful]

Metaluna Zombie You're kidding right? Professional film critics understand film theory and how film is made more than any amateur critic ever will. Mark Kermode, one of the more famous critics, literally has a fucking PhD in horror films. You don't think after years and years of education that he doesn't have an incredible grasp on the process? The big reason wht critics often think movies that a lot of people like are junk because in comparison to the sheer volume of film they've seen, their enhanced ability to understand what's going on onscreen with the camera, sound design, performances, and general technical altitude makes them far more likely to see all the flaws in a particular film. That's why broken, jumbled, incoherent junk like Batman V Superman was panned. This whole recent anti-critic sentiment is just garden variety anti-intellectualism, it's a bunch of people who watch film as a hobby instead of a profession feeling insecure that critics know and understand film better than them. It's just plain arrogance.

[@AlexTraven]

Cameron wanted the Marines and their vehicles to have a Vietnam type of attitude and ascetic to them, a really good choice in my opinion!

[@DareToBeDeviant]

What's great is how all the Marine cast were encouraged to hang out weeks before shooting so their antics/jokes to one another was so organic. Can't think of a better method than that. Else we get wooden actors needing multiple takes to get the mood slightly believable. This might have helped Neil Breen, Tommy Wiseau, or Uwe Boll.

That said my biggest issue with the film is the attempt to weaponize the xenomorph. Sure you can drop a bunch of huggers on your enemies home world or base but after the xenomorphs wipe out your enemies you still have to destroy them, which would seem more difficult in most respects since they’re near perfectly adapted killing Machines that when destroyed produce highly acidic blood that destroys their surroundings

[@boatstall9855]

🤔🤔

[@jmlkhan5153]

Well, we never saw the weaponization of the alien fully realized, partially thanks to Ripley's efforts, partially thanks to the Alien nature. Ideally, we would figure out a way to adapt to the use of Alien BioWeapons, probably through some sort of genetic immunization. Oh, are you a responsible, upstanding, tax-paying member of society that always votes WeyYu? Here's your immunity vaccine. Are you (not that)? Here's your fucking egg, sucker. The narrative of the trilogy is that Ripley stopped them from being able to do this.

[@nbkawtgnobody]

Not if you quarantine the planet and if the aliens wipe them out quick enough so that you only have do deal with stragglers trying to escape.

[@RepublicTrooper125]

Well thats where their orignial lifespan comes into play. Ridley Scott mentions in the commentary that the alien was dying inside of the shuttle at the end. Ofcourse the sequels went in a different direction. My headcanon is that the Space Jockeys/Engineers did design the Xenomorphs to die quickly but they mutated to bypass that limitation. Perhaps thats why they hibernate, otherwise they would die really young.

[@Tazkar]

Honestly my biggest disappointment with the AvP movie was the fact that it was present day instead of in the future and having Colonial Marines getting caught between the Aliens and Preds. That would of been an epic throw down on the big screen.

That said, having an AvP in the future could be the best idea for making AvP not a hot mess, and really fun to watch. I’m just not sure if there is a director who could pull it off currently.

That scene in AVP requiem where the maternity ward patients have aliens put in them is one of the most horrific and gut churning scenes I can remember. Those women were alive for their babies to be eaten out of their womb for an alien instead.

[@Changetheling]

That must be the best and most memorable scene for that movie; I still remember that as well, and I too thought it was real horror.

[@austinza55]

That's some fucked up shit I like the most from that terrible movies. well represented of rape

[@pumpkinbrain8952]

“That’s predator. If you haven’t seen it... see it.” Good idea.

[@goji-woji1584]

to answer your question about the Facehugger in Alien 3, it could've been a Royal Facehugger. It can lay two alien embryos in two host. One queen alien and one drone to protect the queen.

[@RossTheNinja]

Directors Cut of Alien 3 is a million times better than the standard version

[@thebatman4279]

It's a masterpiece IMO.

[@reservoirfrogs2177]

Ross TheNinja A millions times better and yet still not very good

[@servadac42]

It's called the Assembly cut. The director David Fincher had nothing to do with it

[@ScottSullivanTV]

There isn't a director's cut of Alien 3. Stop lying, please.

[@RisingBeast00]

Ross TheNinja I wish they stuck with the dog instead of an ox. It seriously doesn't look ox shaped.

[@rambo1982ful]

I would like to see what happens if a face hugger lay a egg in a T. rex

[@nickkiller-0710]

Capitaine Creps Or a dragon, actually, just imagine how badass it would be if the xenomorphs impregnated other mythological creatures, it wouldn't make sense, but I would pay to see that sort of stuff

[@Cole-ek7fh]

Capitaine Creps chickens.

[@CavangoVulgora]

or a squirrel

[@eLiFILMSinc]

Would have to be a baby rex. But would be nuts. I like it, guy

[@blacktoothfox677]

Brilliant. Alien v Jurassic park. Write to speilberg immediately. Ugh.

[@beyedubya7777]

4:28 He did a cameo in Spaceballs as the same character 😂

[@Vampwatch1462]

The thing that I like about these reviews are that they don't feel hyperbolic and simple. Keep up the good work.

[@CT-1214]

Alien is my favorite in the franchise. I just love the beginning of the film. All the sounds and ambience really immerse you and really lure you into the world of Ridley Scott.

[@ramyspindler8373]

We need a review of alien romulus right now!

[@squarefan80]

Bill Paxton, the actor who has the 'game over' line, is the only actor to be killed by an Alien, a Terminator and a Predator.

[@jayyarbrough4497]

I love the gloom of alien 3. When it snatched up the warden is one of my favorite images

[@johnphilpot5205]

jay yarbrough the movie was horseshit.

[@robmichael8136]

The special effects in "Aliens" are absolutely incredible for 1986. That movie holds up today and then some. Has to be my favorite sci fi movie of all time.

[@adamlee011]

Avp has the best looking xeno's up to that point. The under ice pyramid was cool. I think it's underrated.

[@UFOhunter4711]

Wish they hadve upped the rating though

[@rikuruohomaki3230]

"Increases her basketball skills"? Being a werewolf has that effect too! Have you seen "Teenwolf" (the Michael J. Fox movie, not the Netflix series)?

[@rikuruohomaki3230]

BTW, Joss Whedon also created Buffy The Vampire Slayer (story of the original movie, creator and showrunner of the TV series) and Angel. Those were great!

[@n3ilmac7]

I really hope 20th Century Fox reconsiders and allows Neill Blomkamp to give us the true sequel to Aliens that fans really want. Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are just so bad.

[@alanlee1355]

Disney owns it now. Sounds weird doesn't it?

[@major_lag2643]

james its almost 1 am, calm down, you get Mike to upload this?

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Yeah I upload / release all the videos. Have since 2006 :) Hope you enjoy the video! -Mike

[@bergonath8851]

It's 10 am here and today is national holiday; lucky me.

[@AdrianMax]

Cinemassacre here in México are the 3am

[@MrDjdecks]

1am isn't that late.

[@major_lag2643]

oh look, the only one who can speak proper English

[@brianduda6449]

You're description of Prometheus was EXCELLENT.

[@christopherthorne8133]

Mike, I actually applauded when you said the best SXF are done in front of camera. From one film student and buff to another, quality vid bruv

[@helgaratbone1691]

I believe Arnold’s arm is stuck in cogs at the end of T2. I always thought that was going to be the tie in to a third terminator.

[@jermowight8942]

I really did cry when she died at the end I was like 10 or 11 broke my ❤️

[@Thememester6500]

One of my favorite games that use the xenomorph as an end boss is conker's bad fur day ........ I Wish James and Mike would do a review on it one of these day

[@saewonyi]

I actually always liked Alien 3. It has it own unique atmosphere even though it scales back to follow the feel of the original movie. And Ripley's sacrifice always haunted me, tragic and triumphant, perfect ending to her journey imo

[@muzgash]

For some weird reason Alien3 has always been my favourite. I like the fact that there's only one xenomorph again and they're not firing of their guns.. that weird moment when you begin to empathize with killers and rapists. I liked those tunnel chase sequences a lot.

[@starwarsfan7726]

Its not my favorite by any means, but i will say i do think its very under appreciated for what it was able to do with all the bs it had against it behind the scenes, if alien and aliens are 10/10, i kinda see alien as a 7. hopefully the movie gets a bit more of a cult following

[@postaldude7967]

awesome good stuff thanks Mike and James

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Thanks for watching! -Mike

[@slipknotboy555]

Wacky-Alien32 Haha, that game was some fun shit. Especially with the expansions

[@ghoulbuster1]

Sign this petition or I'll follow you home and kill your dog.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I don't remember the alien from Alien 3 coming from a dog. I remember it coming from an ox...and now I just found out why. I watched the director's cut.

[@perfectcell2301]

DO PREDATOR DAMNIT

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Thanks for the upload Mike! Absolutely stoked every time my notifications show a new cinemassacre video! Hey Mike, ever play XEXYZ on NES? Had the game as a kid and I've never seen anybody show it any love on KZbin

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

Funny you ask that, I actually talked about it in an old Top 10 video I made. You can see it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIm6mJ5qpNR4Zrs Thanks for watching! -Mike

[@kuankrossdogs8614]

FLvol23 gamesack show on KZbin

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Hey Mike I saw that video a couple years ago when you made it! I guess I forgot all about you including XEXYZ because I just watched it as if I'd never seen it! Thanks for the reply!

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

kuantum ka thank you

[@joshuaperrine2019]

I can't wait for this year's(2020) monstermadness.

[@N1ghtR1der666]

the candles going out down the corridor is one of my favorite scenes in all of the alien movies

[@Cinocephalus]

IT BROKE NEW GROUUNND!!.

[@JOE40341]

DID YOU CLAP AT ANY OF THE NEW MOMENTS AND MEMORABLE CHARACTERS? WERE THERE ANY? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@angeloszormpas8427]

I CLAPPED I CLAPPED WHEN ALIENS SHOWED UP!!!

[@smileydog5941]

Everyone is gonna hate RLM because if us

[@stalebreadzz]

JOE40341 Me, personally, I think this comment chain is Verrry cool

[@MrNegativecreep07]

Is this comment chain replacing James?

[@EstebanGunn]

I think Alien 3: The Assembly Cut is actually a good movie.

[@MrNegativecreep07]

James should have spoken about that version a bit more since it is easily the superior version. Not perfect, but a flawed diamond and far better than Resurrection

[@Sp00kyFox]

with this version you can actually accept it as part of a trilogy while Resurrection on the other hand will always stay a turd.

[@BlytheG]

I consider it a trilogy with Resurrection being a what-if, alternate universe, spin-off kind of film and try to enjoy it on those terms.

[@jayboy8080]

a polished turd

[@omegarugal9283]

there are parts of the theatrical that are better, also has a faster pacing, the assembly cut is more like "nothing happens, nothing happens, someone dies, nothing happends, it`s over..."

[@marvinmobley6294]

they mostly come out at night. .......mostly

[@CarlosGonzalez-qp5wp]

Game over man game over

[@whisperingwind7]

oh man..oh man...this made 5 years ago but KZbin just recommended it to me just today...but glad it did. Awesome video, man....i really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for making this, appreciate it...and you're funny without acting and saying funny shiet...lol...just stated a fact(s)

[@alfieogden]

Ive seen prometheus loads of times and never realised it wasn't set on LV426
