It’s a movie quote you clueless turd. Btw you’ve been reported. For douchebaggery.
You’re an idiot. Calling suicide selfish is what it is. Victim blaming. Stop being anyway and pretending like mental illness or depression is a choice. Spoken like a true privileged asshat. I can see you now at here funeral, saying what a great guy your friend was, oh btw he’s selfish for killing himself. You moron.
Nah, you’re just an idiot and a coward. I have no sympathy for
You.
Hope you kill yourself, then we can all call you selfish. You pig.
“Unnecessary profanity”'? Where do you think you are, some f-cking regency costume drama? This is a message board department, not some f-cking Jane f-cking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your complaint and ram it up your sh-tter with a lubricated horse cock!
For me the most disturbing thing was when they kill Morrie in the car.
I would gladly enact a final solution against all members of that band.
The band Live does not matter. They’re terrible.
I think all death is somewhat sad because that person will no longer be around to talk to, but I think living until you’re in your 90s is not exactly tragic unless you die in a freak accident or something. There comes a point where death is just a natural and welcome process when you’re elderly. I think it’s more sad that many elderly are simply carted off to nursing homes to be forgotten about instead of being allowed palliative care in their own homes.
Van Halen’s first couple albums were pretty good, but they were no where near as adventurous or experimental as Led Zeppelin. They mostly stuck with the same sound, while LZ branches out into different styles in their career.
It’s a pretty fuckin stupid concept honestly. A fleet of Apache helicopters would shred these things. Also AC-130 gunships.
It all went wrong for a few reasons. Fox demanded a sequel to Aliens right away and Giler and Hill had no ideas on where to take it. Initially they wanted a script about the Company’s duplicity in using aliens as biological weapons, and even wanted Ridley Scott to come back to direct, but he had scheduling conflicts. They then made choice to go with Renny Harlin who wanted to do a “Planet of the Aliens” movie, but they realized it would be too expensive. A few other writers and directors came and went, with ideas being juggled around from an alien infestation of Earth, to an Alien virus released on a space station. One idea even had Ripley and Newt hunting aliens on some Blade Runner-esque metropolis. Then came Vincent Ward and his awful script about a wooden planet, which was the germ of Alien3. Eventually a producer at Fox suggested they just change the wooden planet to a prison planet, and voila. A3 was born. Fox made a release date for the film when they were still in pre-production.
Another big mistake was the executives wanting Sigourney Weaver back so badly that they allowed her to sign a contract giving her creative demands on all future films. She had three stipulations: no guns, that Ripley would die, and Ripley would have sex with an Alien. They balked at the last demand (saved it for Resurrection) but allowed her the first two.
Alien3 was seemingly doomed to fail from the start, but there were some interesting concepts in there. I think the best route would have been to involve the Company’s background and experiments more, combined with the Cold War theme of a hostile socialist bloc known as the Union of Progressive Peoples, which was introduced in William Gibson’s A3 script. Maybe even introduce a bigger, badder alien known as the Queen Mother. A lot of these ideas were later used in comic books and video games. In fact, there was a videogame called “Aliens Infestation” that was arguably a better sequel than any of the following films.
Fincher had nothing to do with the assembly cut.
All they knew was that they were investigating a downed transmitter, and a potentially dangerous hostile organism that was mostly conjecture might have been involved. It was basically meant to be a routine reconnaissance mission, so it would make sense to send only one squad.
It probably would have made more sense for the Sulaco to have a ship’s crew manning it, such as an engineer, petty officer, or ensign, but that was probably due to lack of budget. In the original script, Bishop was supposed to stay on board the Sulaco for the whole movie and deny the survivors any rescue for fear of contaminating the ship.
