@atrlus i, for one, am glad you commented. often i find, when dealing with people of her ilk, that the best you can do is put the information out there in a serious, logical way. Even if the conversation goes nowhere (as it often does in these cases), people see it, and are affected by it. thanks for speaking up.

hicks and newt were the most boring characters in the world. a quick death was too good for them. alien 3 took ripley to a much more interesting place as a character, without all all the baggage of the first two films. best in the series, by far. also, ron perlman isn't jesus. for fuck's sake.
