Both were written by Whedon of course.

Yes, I know.

I seem to recall reading that Whedon really didn't like Resurrection, though.

Yeah, he tried to remake Alien with his script. The studio wanted Aliens. So it did 't quite work.

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

He also wrote a climax with the Aliens in a forest on Earth, which the studio cut to his dismay, and he didn't write anything about the "newborn" and hated it.

[edit] Really makes me want to render an image of an Alien Queen deep in a creepy forest, with the trees covered in that "secreted resin."

Whedon has said outright that the crew of the Betty was a precursor to the more developed Serenity crew. He was unhappy with how A:R executed the script and refined the characters into Firefly. So...

I still think Alien 3 would have been downright awesome if they went with the Gothic wooden monastery-planet :P
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

Hard as I try, I can't find a source for that.

If I could tack a stinger onto AVP:R That's what it would be
