I theorize the reason Ash tried to kill Ripley with a rolled up magazine was because Synthetics aren't supposed to be programmed for violence. He has no idea how to "kill" a human since it's not in his programming. The best he can do is emulate what he saw the Facehugger do. It's similar how in Aliens when Bishop is offered a handgun. He just inspects it for half a second and passes it back, as if to say "my programming doesn't let me even understand how to use this."

[@limlaith]

That's an interesting hypothesis. I thought Ash tried to kill Ripley that way was because the magazine was the most immediate weapon to hand after he had whumped her and dragged her to that table. He was clearly programmed differently, is what I'm saying. Bishop's model had "fixed" the pesky unreliability of the earlier model. 😊

I believe Ridley Scott has said it's basically a phallic thing; as synthetics are not 'equipped', this is the closest it can do. It echoes the SA overtones of the xenomorph itself, making his appreciation for the creature even creepier

Yes, and I think she also nodded at one of the drones to take her by surprise.

That's exactly what had happened in the scene. The queen clearly signaled for the drone to back off and stop, though it was clearly a ploy to trick Ridley. The Aliens are smart and crafty and not really the types to simply give up at a chance to propegate their species.

Psychology graduate here. At the time of Alien 3 being made in the late 80s early 90s, they did believe that the XYY chromosome was linked to higher levels of aggression, & higher levels of aggression was linked with higher incarceration rates. This would later be pretty much universally dismissed in the 2000s.

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

They usually have significantly elevated levels of masculine androgenic hormones (namely testosterone). It's well established that a persons aggression, motivation and confidence is strongly linked to testosterone levels. While high testosterone levels doesn't equal criminal, most populations within a jail do indeed have elevated levels of testosterone. Testosterone is generally thought of the hormone that turns somebody into a 'hero' or 'villain'. It might make one man run into a burning house and another man try to become a drug dealer and kill his competition. I'm certain that if you were to do the research that XYY is over represented in the justice system but also things like firefighting or professional sports.

James Cameron made Terminator and Aliens within two years of each other as well.

[@steampunkfox4932]

in the first Alien movie, the reason the Xenomorph is so lethargic and so much slower at the end of the film is originally the Xenomorphs were supposed to have an extremely short lifespan so by the end of the Xenomorph was pretty much on it's deathbed so that's why it was so much easier to kill at the end of the film. Also, edit in the extended cut of Aliens it's revealed that Burk had intentionally sent the colonists to the derelict alien spaceship due to Ripley's story hoping he could acquire the Xenomorphs with the intention of getting a good bonus.

Dude, the company is already aware of the potential Alien ship on Lv426 long before they even find Ripley, in fact, there's a lot of evidence that actually implies that the company already knows about Lv426 before the crew of the Nostromo are even woken from cryo sleep, just watch Ash very carefully in the first film and you will very quickly pick up on that seeing as he is assigned to the crew unexpectedly days before their mission and is the first person to point out that mother wants to talk to Dallas (with an unusual amount of enthusiasm at that). He literally directly guides every event to allow for the story to progress the way it does. It's pretty safe to say that they sent colonies to LV426 with the express intent of finding said ship and they definitely never gave a fk about loss of life in the process of doing so. Even in the second film, when 'Al' is asked by his co worker about the mom and pops survey team that consists of Newt's family, they make it very clear that the company has been sending teams out regularly to survey the planet's surface (clearly in search of the Alien vessel) long before Ripley is even interviewed about her experiences...

1) Ash didn't change the mission objective - the company always had that as an hidden priority to possibly develop biological weapon from alien life forms. Killing two birds with one stone, getting ore and invaluable living organisms. It's likely that all company cargo ships had a synthetic on board to ensure that this objective is upheld if organisms of this nature were encountered while in deep space (they probably didn't expect these highly predatory beings though) and with the main system, Mother or whatever, scouting and scanning for it. If the crew can't be brought back alive or needs to be killed (to protect the specimen) than too bad. This is just to really hammer in the horrible corporate mind set of these company people. "If the trade-off for human lives is a boat load of money then who cares if a few people die?!" Aliens is identical in that aspect. If Burke had successfully brought back the specimen, nobody would've cared a bunch of terraforming colonists or marines died. Profit is the priority, the end. Also, watch the Director's Cut. You get the first attempt at explaining how the eggs come to be, i.e. it's people morphing into them. Ripley comes across a lair (same alien-secreted resin structures seen in the derelict ship and in Aliens) where she sees Dallas half in the process of morphing and he begs for death. 2) The company lost contact with the colony because Burke, upon learning of the existence of the alien form from Ripley, sent a message to have colonists (which just so happen to be Newt's family) go check the location of the derelict ship, which they did and brought back a face-hugged explorer. They must have went back later and brought back more, because there are 3 dead specimen and 2 live ones in the infirmary when the marines get there. This is all explained in the Director's Cut, by the way. If you haven't seen that version of the film then you are truly missing out. So much more context for the connection between Ripley and Newt, because Ripley use to have a daughter which died of old age during her 57-year cryosleep. 3) While Alien Resurrection is pretty bad, it's a guilty pleasure of mine... It's so goofy! But, I genuinely like the idea of a person with xenomorph traits, like the hive mind connection, the genetic memories, acidic blood, etc., but also all the failed effed up clones... 4) Prometheus looked so promising, going back to explore the Space Jockeys - that it was such a monumental letdown still hurts to this day... I cannot even begin to explain the stab to the heart that was. The characters are so stupid and horrendously incompetent (not quite as bad as Alien Covenant, granted) and the movie happening entirely relies on them being stupid...That's... stupid. Oh and, the Engineers being pissed off we killed Jesus, who was an Engineer, 2000 years ago and that's why they want to destroy Earth, it's so ridiculous it hurts! Yeah, this weird meld of religion into the Alien franchise just doesn't work IMO, though exploring creation, and a creation meeting its creator (also mirrored by Fassbender's character) is interesting, but ruined by pretty much everything else. 5) Alien Covenant... The worst, just the worst.

New multi-hour Elvis video on a beloved horror franchise? Fuck yes, made my night. Romulus was sick, return to form for the series.

[@Elatenl]

I guess rehashing everything that has been done before and doing it exactly the same again means return to form lol

[@Jonathan-Shadow]

Romulus had amazing effects and the practical effects were spot on. Best part. However it’s a weird amalgamation of every alien film before it. It’s like each scene or set piece you could match up with any of the previous films.

Literal trash. Everything wrong with modern hollywood

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think the actor for Andy was the highlight of the film. The ending was incredible

[@jeremysmith4620]

Alien and Aliens couldn't be more different films, but manage to perfectly tie together what are essentially slight twists on a haunted house/slasher style horror movie and a classic war film implementing the trope of a top secret mission behind enemy lines where everyone is expendable for the mission to succeed. The connective tissue of Geiger's amazing design work does so much heavy lifting in these films, making Aliens seem like a direct visual expansion from Alien, building on what we saw on the crashed ship and the physiology of the creature itself. As if that isn't enough, we get an incredibly strong and iconic heroine, played by the perfect actress for the role being directed by 2 of the most acclaimed visionary directors of all time. These movies are so special, like lightening striking the same place.

[@Triforcefilms]

22:30. When you're that close to a planet, theres definitely still a heavy gravitational pull. Satellites and space stations are constantly having to maintain a certain momentum for orbital mechanics to keep them from falling to earth. A drop ship would absolutely plummet instantly if it isn't moving at least 10,000 mph.

[@FranciscoRojasArteaga-h4u]

2:17:19 What are you talking about? Big Champ was inside the escape shuttle when the Nostromo exploded, it's not like he was out in space when the explosion happened. And when Ripley burns him with the propulsions of the shuttle, you can se how he just drift away in space, it's not like he got desintegrated by them. The real damage would be the harpoon because it completely pierced him, and from Aliens we know the definitive way to kill them is dealing damage until nothing is left or completely exploding them.

[@aidenrodriguez-wb8ky]

Spot on bro 💯💯

[@shriekotbanshee]

In reality, the humans are the 👽 aliens 👽 not the Xenomorphs, the humans landed on a planet where the xenomorphs where already chilling and living their best lives until as usual the humans stuck their noses in and had the audacity to kill the xenomorphs, eggs, and the queen.

[@randallbesch2424]

@@shriekotbanshee the xenomorphs are in stasis waiting to be activated for labor only the Engineers messed up their super slaves too well. The ship was delivering them to a colony when one killed the pilot.

Aliens is the winner for me. I've seen that film so many times that I probably think it's my favorite film of all time. Even better than predator and Terminator 2. I only wish I saw it in the cinema when it forst came out.

[@shalindelta7]

Nice, Alien is my favorite movie and i love the other 3 you mentioned equally.

I fucking love Alien Resurrection, personally. It's so far removed from the core movies, timeline wise, that I love it. It's so fucking weird.

[@mikeyt708]

i watched the original alien before i saw romulus, and i noticed that the alien never actually disintegrated or died, it just got launched into space

34:00 Ripley's perfectly happy with the agreement but as she's backing off an egg opens looking to ambush. So Ripley gives a "ffs, really?" look and starts torching.

[@adamfleetwood3980]

Ripley lighting her clone on fire in Ressurection is a call-back to the deleted scene from Alien where she discovers Dallas still alive and cocooned and mercy kills him with a flamethrower. Besides the special effects it’s about the only decent thing about Resurrection

[@luckyspurs]

Newt becoming a teacher in real life is really sweet. Like just being happy having a regular life, with the one amazingly cool thing being super endearing in one of the greatest movies of all time.

[@boopdeshoop9720]

The museum of pop culture in Seattle had a Xenomorph suit from aliens 3 i believe, and a facehugger prop from every Alien movie. Walking through their horror exhibit was what made me love the tension filled dread of even the worst horror movies.

[@waltercomunello121]

34:07 actually I think the reason Ripley goes berserk over the queen's eggs is because just as she and Newt are about to leave a single egg hatches. Ripley then tilts her head and torches everything, having been pushed over the edge just enough.

[@JojokimVT]

I didn’t think that Big Chap was incinerated in the first movie. I think that it just got blasted away by the engine. Also, about Romulus, I think Andy lied about the fact that the Xenomorph won’t attack the humans due to them having weapons. Remember, he got reprogrammed with that new module Rain installed which changed his directive to match the ones given by the company which meant that the humans were expandable

[@daveyjones8969]

Explosions in space are more spherical if anything, and since it's a ship full of oxygen, there would be some degree of fire. A fuel oxidizer would create a massive fire ball too, which is almost definitely part of the engines.

I love Alien resurrection. I love it for its Jeunetness. I consider him an absolute master of cinema.

What I love about these movies (even the bad ones) is that even though the Xenomorph is the main threat there are other things to be scared of- robots, evil humans, the evil corporation and even the spaceships themselves breaking down
