    Sucked is being nice. The two was never meant to run together. But fans was wanting the two coolest monsters to fight it out

Season 4 is one of the best supernatural drama seasons of television that I've seen. I used to think that the first Terminator sucked until about a month ago when I watched it again for the first time in 10+ years and now realize just how smart the movie was.
    I liked Angel, the series finale was killer but left you wanting more. When you watch Alien, you'll feel the same way about it like you did with Terminator. At least I think you will.

    Yes and no. Res was a little over the top

    Beat me to it

I remember watching Alien when I was younger and it scared the shit out of me. Aliens was bad ass and still made me jump. I can watch both movies over and over without being bored of them.

    I think he tried to make it more like Aliens was. The goofy retard-strength alien getting sucked out of that hole at the end was hilarious. I remember not liking Alien 3 but I just IMDB'd it and it said David Fincher directed it...maybe I was too young to enjoy it. I really need to watch them all again considering the only ones I've seen recently are Aliens and Resurrection. I don't remember shit from the first one and very little from the 3rd.

    Remember, there are two "races" of Predator to deal with...the "hunters" and the "killers". (The "killers" were introduced in "Predators"....and in the comics they have xenomorphs somewhat domesticated so they can use them as a hunting dog of some sort).

    Scott has said that anything else created after the alien franchise has nothing to do with his movies.

    Weyland-Yutani corporation also happened to own the ship Nostromo in Alien, and the colony in Aliens.

    Weyland-Yutani also happens to be one of the companies represented by Wolfram & Hart in Angel (As seen in the Episode "Harm's Way.")

    I saw it in Imax at Northpark the day after the hail storm. I thought it was a pretty good movie.....but it definitely brought more questions for me.
