I love and hate the director's cut. I love and agree that the Ripley's revelation of the loss of her daughter is a huge omission in the theatrical cut, and that should have never been removed. I also like the sentry gun scenes a lot. I really hated seeing that early scene at the camp with Newt. It took away so much of the suspense of not knowing what happened that the original Theatrical cut had intact. When the Marine's first landed it was far more suspenseful in the Theatrical cut than the director's cut. I can't stress that enough. Also I hate that they introduce the concept of the Queen in the Director's cut because it was much more of a shock and surprise in the theatrical version. For me, I love this film, and it is so re-watchable, so for that reason I never recommend the director's cut to anyone first time because more often than not the viewer wants to see more, or see it again. That is when I recommended the Director's cut so the viewer gets two fun experiences instead of just one.

Fun fact: Carrie Henn liked going down the ducts so much she kept screwing that scene on purpose. But Jim Cameron caught on that and told her she could do it as much as she wanted after they finished it. There is a picture of Sigourney and Carrie pretending they are the Queen Alien, you can see it in the extra features. If you ever watch 3 and 4, just pretend they're really bad nightmares that Ripley has in her cryosleep. That's what makes me endure them.

When they went to film the scene in the morning Newt said the water was too hot, so her and the "Alien" sat on the side bathing their feet in the water till it cooled down. Carrie Henn became a School Teacher.

Aliens is my all-time favorite movie. And I really enjoyed all the commentary and behind the scenes stuff that you were sharing with your mom. I already knew it, but I was loving you giving her behind the scenes info as the film progressed. The actor's name who you couldn't remember was James Remar. Michael Biehn replaced him because apparently Mr. Remar was having some drug issues back then that were affecting his performance. The actress who plays Vasquez is Jeanette Goldstein. She was also in T2, as you mentioned, and Titanic, as well. Cameron liked her so he hired her frequently. Lance Henrickson, who plays Bishop, was also in Alien 3, and the first Terminator film. Bill Paxton was also in the first Terminator. I believe you are right about Sigourney still being friends with Carrie Henn. Carrie is now a school teacher, last I heard anyway.

Yes, this stands as an excellent example of amazing practical effects that do indeed stand up 40 years later. There are however also terrible practical effects, that looked bad even when they were new. CGI can also look amazing. What makes effects good or bad is the effort and skill put into them. Alien and Aliens both had amazingly talented effects teams working on them, who put serious effort into their craft. Just ditching CGI and going back to practical effects will not make effects instantly good, not if you don't have the talented people to make it happen and CGI is not automaticall bad, just because it is CGI.

I prefer the theatrical releases because by leaving out some things it heightens the tension. You don't see captain Dallas cocooned and therefore you may not recognize the alien changes in "Aliens" made inside the reactor because you didn't see it in the first movie. In Aliens you will not see the life of the people living there which adds to the suspense because you don't know what happened at all and therefore almost shooting a little girl is the shocking first surprise. Even without the "Ripley missing her daughter" part that is used as explanation why she is so attached to Newt and got cut, I think every woman that likes children in a bunch of soldiers would have done the same to protect the girl. Apart from that there is not really much more, seeing some automatic guns shooting and their ammunition counter going down and two seconds of aliens screaming.

Another good movie with him that isn't widely known is "Pumpkinhead". It is basically a supernatural revenge film with a twist toward the end. Great special effects and Lance does a good job. The movie came out much later than plamned for various reasons and had almost no promotion. I only caught by chance at a small theater just before the run ended.

I do feel the need to push back against the crap Alien3 tends to get, because once you can push past the initial introduction, (which made people mad and their anger clouded how they watched the rest of the film,) it’s not a bad movie. Alien3 (1992,) David Fincher’s feature film debut, and it is very much a Fincher film. Unfortunately, people love James Cameron too much, especially people of my generation who grew up with Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991,) True Lies (199,) and Aliens (1986.) Cameron’s Spielbergian grasp of the blockbuster-Heroic story that taps into our humanity and manipulates our emotions. For most people, and I think correctly, Aliens overshadows Alien, (though I personally prefer Alien, I enjoy Horror.) One might say Ridley Scott built the toys for James Cameron to play with. I find the first three films make the perfect Ellen Ripley story cycle, a perfect trilogy. But much like “the company,” studios were so hellbent on wringing the franchise for every dollar they could get put of it, they just had to green light a fourth film. Then they begged Weaver to join the cast. The fourth film, however, I do have to disassociate from the Alien franchise while watching it, not because I think it is a fundamentally bad film but because it does not feel like an Alien film and overall seems to miss the point of the original three. But, like I said, not a bad film. Alien: Resurrection (1997,) a very French Fantasy film, it reads more like something out of Heavy Metal Magazine, wedged between Frank Frazetta, Jim Steranko, & Mœbius. Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, (City Of Lost Children; Amélie; Delicatessen,) and starring a begrudgingly Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Ellen Ripley, she is also joined by Winona Ryder (just off The Crucible and would later star on Stranger Things alongside Paul R,) Ron Perlman, (Hellboy; City Of Lost Children,) Dominique Pinon (City Of Lost Children; Delicatessen; Amélie,) Michael Wincott (The Crow & Nope,) & Gary Dourdan (CSI.) I do think Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection were miscalculations, but in terms of understanding the market at the time. Alien 3 comes out right after Terminator 2, though similar in many ways the tone of the two films do clash. After Alien3 Fincher makes Se7en (1995) & The Game (1997,) while Cameron makes True Lies (1994) & Titanic (1997.) Hollywood finds itself at a fork in the road. To quote Robert Frost, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler.” Hollywood chose Titanic, Men In Black, and Good Will Hunting, leaving little room for a weird French Action, Sci-Fi film like Alien: Resurrection, barely breaking into the top 30 films of the year, and thus the Alien Franchise would lie dormant until the early 2010s with the “return” of Ridley Scott via Prometheus (2012.) Anyway, I definitely recommend everyone checks out some other films of the late ‘90s: While Best Picture Oscars are going out to The English Patient in 1997, to Titanic in 1998, & to Shakespeare In Love in 1999, many other good films are being overlooked-in particular, genre films, which are routinely overlooked. The Thin Red Line (1998,) my favorite War Film; Event Horizon (1997,) Lost Highway (1997,) Perfect Blue (1997,) Ravenous (1999,) Slam (1998,) Dark City (1998,) Audition (1999,) Boys Don’t Cry (1999,) 8mm (1999,) etc. Godspeed 🙏🏼☺️

Burke gets darth vader level burned from the blast radius but in the end he gets saved by Weyland Yutani. He becomes the villain of the third movie.

Ripley, I consider a masterclass in how to write a female protagonist in a action-adventure or horror movie. She is strong and competent, but isn't some snarling, emotionless robot, who is awesome at everything and abjectly rejects everything feminine. Ripley is a very human character and more to the point, the writers embrace her gender, not as something to make her weak and need to be rescued, but as a source of strength. Ripley faces the monsters from her nightmares and saddles up to face the literal mother of monsters, to rescue her surrogate child. If that isn't embracing Ripley's womanhood and making her a strong character, I don't know what is. Take note Hollywood, THIS is how you write a Strong Female Character.

Please stop showing newies the director's cut! It is not the superior version of that film. It's too long, and all the Vietnam references are lost on most people, especially if they're young. I know, I know, you think all the additions are really cool, but that's because you saw the theatrical cut first! Let other people experience it the same way.

I agree and disagree. If you've only seen the extended version, it's difficult to appreciate the theatrical cut, as you notice things are missing. If you're going to watch the movie multiple times, definitely start with the theatrical cut. If, however, it's going to be a one-time watch, like for a reaction, watching the extended version is fine. Especially if it doesn't take away of the original. T-2 has an alternate ending, so don't do that one first. The Abyss is a totally different movie in the extended cut. And sometimes the original theatrical cut is simply so superior to the recut that you don't really want to watch the alternate version. Movies where it's fine to watch the extended/alternate version as your first/only watch: Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Aliens, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The original Star Wars Trilogy (because the theatrical cuts are nowhere to be found anymore). Movies where the extended/alternate version is a great addition to the theatrical cut: Blade Runner, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Lethal Weapon, Dances with Wolves, Alien (because it has a different xenomorph life cycle), The Abyss. Movies where the original is by far the superior version, and you should stay clear of the alternate versions: The Exorcist, Payback, 1408, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, The Hobbit trilogy (because the shorter the better).

Special Edition - both are director's cuts, Cameron has final cut on all of his films.

The theatrical cut of Blade Runner is also better, because the director's cut lacks the voice-over that let's you actually know what is going on. @@bloodymarvelous4790
