Alright, perhaps I'm extrapolating here, but this sounds like the sci-fi equivalent of all the media over the years made by someone who saw Twin Peaks and didn't take any lessons away from it other than "weird imagery".

If pressed I'd pick Frankie every time, but I will admit to having a soft spot for a lot of Celine Dion-era soft-rock mall-mom music.

Man, I can't believe I missed this, thank you!

Shit, no, I didn't even know this came out!

You know, I was just having the inverse of that discussion the other day - I watch a lot of subbed anime because I'm weeaboo trash, and the thinking is that this way we don't have to deal with shitty dubs, but what if the original voice acting also sounds bad to native Japanese speakers? I may never know, and it's an

FUN FACT(?): The muzzle flare of the original weapons wasn't big enough for Cameron, so the design of the pulse rifles stems solely from the production having to conceal the fact that they're all built over old-school Thompson submachine guns (the Tommy Gun of lore) because only those produced a muzzle flare that

I met Michael Biehn last year at a convention and he seemed pretty convinced, so…

Imagine the Asari from Mass Effect, but not blue and tentacle-free.

Wasn't it briefly called "Starbeast" or something?

Bishop is a ripped bald guy with a chain gun, Apone is in a T-shirt and jeans, Ripley has like skinny jeans and some kind of claw machine…the only one of those that looks like the movie aesthetic is Hicks, and even then he doesn't look a fucking thing like Michael Biehn.

Aw, I love the auto-gun scene! It's the perfect example of showing how the Marines can't rely on "the usual stuff" for this one, even if it maybe does go on a little too long.

No, it's just the internet. What are they going to use, harsh language?

Die Hard follows the same logic, and I don't feel like you really get that a lot in movies these days.

Ghostbusters was made two years earlier for $30 million and I really have a hard time deciding which one holds up better. (admittedly, the special effects in Ghostbusters 2 are WAY better, but…)

It was sort of the reverse of the Blade Runner problem, which ironically affected the guy that directed the previous movie in this series.

Whoa, wait, which one is this?

This is probably just me, but I've always liked to look at it as having INTERNAL logic, if that makes sense. Ghostbusters is my favorite example of this; no, that technology doesn't (and likely couldn't) exist in the real world, but they do a decent job explaining how it works within the world of the movie, and

This and Evil Dead 2 are my favorite examples of that. You can't leave, due to reasons, and now you're stuck there with whatever it is.

I've always meant to watch that and I keep hearing it sucks but I have no idea why! Someone elaborate on failure to me!

The last time I quit a job I really hated I sent an email of that scene to everyone I liked that worked there. Within six months the company would fall under massive international legal troubles and would eliminate most of the jobs in the department I left. I felt terrible, but I can't say I didn't warn them.
