They also said an era before green screens but Star Wars was using blue screens years before this. Aliens uses a ton of rear-projection, as did The Terminator, which accomplishes the same thing. Of course King Kong used rear projection in 1933.

[@luthermcgee432]

She should have.

[@coolcat6303]

I don’t think it had anything to do with being PC back then. The Academy simply didn’t give out Oscars to Action/Sci-Fi actors or directors because they didn’t consider these films to be works of serious art. Ignorant thinking but that’s how it was. Especially considering the caliber of acting that Sigourney did in this film. That kind of bias is also why Spielberg, despite all his incredible films in the 70’s & 80’s, never won an Oscar until he did Schindler’s List.

Bitch please". Not some indecisive bullshit "like "should I or shouldn't I". Wtf, Michael Beinn! How many times did you NOT watch this scene??

I think he thought the same, I think he was hoping others would cue in and that he wouldn't have to suggest this expletive, but he realised they weren't sure what exact moment he was referring to.

[@angryjalapeno]

Actually what happens is the queen gestures the guards to back off. The queen allows Ripley and Newt to go. Then Ripley gives the look and flames everything. An act of vengeance for all those human lives the aliens had taken. So Beihn has it right.

[@Dustie1984]

A Jalapeño Actually what happens is first the queen seems to let them go when Ripley threatens her with the flamethrower (by shooting a flame in the air and then pointing it at an egg), but when they try backing out one of the eggs suddenly opens, showing the queen is actually treacherous - that's why Ripley gets pissed and flames the nest.

[@angryjalapeno]

The queen can't magically make the eggs open, right? Eggs hatch on their own. If it were an "ambush", the queen wouldn't open an egg right in front of Ripley; it would be behind her instead. It just so happened that an egg hatch. And that triggered Ripley's fury.

[@tubenachos]

Somehow George Lucas ignored this.

[@nebtheweb8885]

There was no CGI. Nothing like there is today. Processors were not power enough, and there was nowhere the memory needed to do Computer Generated Graphics. They used miniature models. Computers back then were mostly text driven programs and crude stickman graphics. They had no power to generate graphics you see in today's movies. Even within the Alien movie at the beginning, you can see this in their supposed future control panels guiding the Nostromo. The only graphics they had, even in the imagined state of the movie, were mostly text driven. Even "mother" was text driven. As for Green screen, it was crude and even in a finished movie you could tell it was green screen because everything in the foreground had a black outline around it. George Lucas, in his star wars movies used stop action photography to make his "Walkers" vehicles move. In later releases of those star wars movies he did add computer graphics though.

What an amazing cast! The world is less without Bill Paxton, he is considered my favorite actor! Loved his films and pretty cool how he was from my home state TX! He seemed like such a great honorable and special individual. He will forever be in my heart R.I.P. ❤🤠✌🙏🎥

[@kimcapri9178]

Yes I was heart broken when I heard. That year was rough for me and my family in general, especially between me and my husband. Prayers to his family still for such a loss of a global talent and Giant in the biz.

As a young girl, Sigourney Weaver became my hero and role model. For the first time, a woman was the strongest of all and even smarter than an alien creature. Absolutely brilliant!

[@Luciferus200581]

Not strongest... just more acute and driven to survive... and being all that without having to bash males for whatever feministic reasons. Great character and how a female protagonist should be.

[@JarrettMazza]

Yep, and don't forget a great leader.

[@CLASSICALFAN100]

Far better to have real-life role models, such as 2-time Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie, or Daniella Ryf (3-time Ironman Triathlon World Champion), or psychiatrist Dr. Louise Jilek-Aal, a protege of Albert Schweitzer in his jungle hospital: Here's some more info about each of them.

Dude (or sis? Whatever ;-;). The entire point and reason we watch movies at all is for the "what-ifs". To get as far away from reality as possible and let our minds wonder. Sure, it's great to succeed in real-life and all, but successes in fiction are successes in fiction for one simple purpose; to be better than the successes in real life.

[@cordyone]

Looking back at Aliens, its just nice to see a multi-racial and gendered cast that came together because it worked for the script, the story and the dynamics of the characters...and not because of some forced, over-corrected, woke agenda that takes the viewer out of the movie and leaves them with a sour feeling of being manipulated at the expense of art.

[@oliver.n278]

So true!

[@mrorangepeel659]

That’s because this was made in 1986 and all of this division between white and black people wasn’t been orchestrated by the left and the media. The world was a happier place in the 1980’s.

[@BeazleyStudios]

That's what happens when talented people make the movies. It feels natural/organic and you accept it as a natural part of the story.

[@IncandescentDaD]

There would be some right-wing morons who would disagree with you. The fact there are women soldiers and people of color at all in this movie would be "woke" to them.
