Re: What would you do with Alien 3 and Resurrection?
The first comic and by extension the novelization of it were...okay. Not great, just OK.
I did like the concept of using an all-android crew to do research in alien infested areas, placing no humans at risk.
But the ideas got dumb pretty fast in both the comic and book series; almost like Kevin J Anderson was writing them.

Well, the guy that wrote them also wrote the Shadows of the Empire novel for SW. Although the "giant elephant man ex machina" part was a bit corny, I liked the stories of the first two novels.

Re: What would you do with Alien 3 and Resurrection?
I kinda liked Aliens: Apocalypse - The Destroying Angels, if only because it gave us a beautifully rendered glimpse of a space jockey colony world without totally raping their mystique. It also made the aliens and the SJs billions of years old, which I liked.

If you liked the SJ, the new Alien prequel is supposed to expore their origins.

Possibly. Ridley Scott is doing it himself.
This is my signature. Soon a fan-boy will use it for an ad hominem.
Re: What would you do with Alien 3 and Resurrection?
I don't think it's possible to explore the origins of anything while maintaining mystique Hopefully Scott won't mangle the franchise too badly. Also, I don't know if the rumours about Natalie Portman are a pro or con...Without totally raping their mystique?

Ugh. Natalie Portman is prequel-poison.
Re: What would you do with Alien 3 and Resurrection?
AND, if rumours are to be believed, she's supposed to be a Colonial Marine General *insert howling laughter here". However, she is also hot, so I may be willing to accept this without Aliens fan rage.

Fuck me.
Did they learn nothing from Winona Ryder?
I don't watch the Alien movies to masturbate to hot chicks. I watch them to masturbate to violence and gore.

I also heard a rumor that there will be a sequence were the aliens force two guys to sodomize each other (seriously, I can give you a link and all). Perhaps we should, y'know, wait for something official?

The "Alien Harvest" script? It seemed a bit er... creative, but you never know.I also heard a rumor that there will be a sequence were the aliens force two guys to sodomize each other (seriously, I can give you a link and all). Perhaps we should, y'know, wait for something official?
