It won’t make any difference.
I may be synthetic but I’m not stupid.
As far as I’m concerned Newt, Ripley, Hicks and Bishop not only made it home but lived happily ever after. 🖕
Watched the Siskel & Ebert for James Cameron’s Aliens. Siskel gave it a *thumbs down* 👎 because it was non-stop action and put a kid in peril for too long a period of time. Even Ebert only barely gave it a thumbs up. 👍 Signorney’s performance was great but the film was too horrific, too disturbing for him to actually recommend seeing it. No joke.
Aliens is one of the best sci-fi action movies OF ALL TIME. Amazing how wrong these guys got it.
JtsW@gedeonm I don’t agree with those reviews. But I also don’t really like Aliens. I can recogonize the craftsmanship, but my problem is:
Alien is a perfect horror film, with an almost Lovecraftian terror of the unknown and incomprehensible. It’s strange and gross and unlike anything else. Cameron’s sequel is basically Starship Troopers without the satire.
I also adore The Terminator and dislike T2 for similar reasons.
**I know I am extremely in the nerd minority here.**
