I love aliens

You can just see some studio exec having said “I know these are both space monsters but we can save a few bucks shooting it in a forest instead. Maybe at a high school?”

Sigh.

What I wanted was a Cameron-directed entry starring both Schwarzenegger and Weaver (and reportedly, Cameron DID want both actors to appear in an ALIEN sequel of his design, but as with T3 the studio balked at his schedule).

What I got was something on par with the better comic books.  The acting wasn’t so great, they wedged the Lance Henrikksen character into the mix, and some found the relationship between the main character (strong female, ripley type) and the Predator laughable.

I kind of liked it – though I suppose the ideas boded better than the execution.  The concept of the ancient temple didn’t quite work for me, though I did like a little dash of THE THING in my AvP.

Mostly I loved seeing a kick-ass quality Alien Queen square off in full CGI glory in T-Rex style battle mode, against a Predator.

Hey, I had fun, and the story held up a lot more than Freddy Vs. Jason (which was also fun, but took itself much less seriously.)

I have not yet watched this trailer but could not be more excited.  I can only hope Eric is in LA so we can see it together.  I don’t think any of my friends out here give a fat turd…

Now let’s buy Aliens horror clix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I roll acid spit and do 5d damage to your marine!!!!!!
