Rank your favorite ALIEN.

Yeah, I could never see him as the dog alien after that.

See, even with all the bonus/changes to the opening and setup shots, when I saw that ox getting pulled in by the two prisoners, I had the epiphany. I had always heard the alien in A3 referred to as dog/ox, and never even knew the reason. Again, I call myself an Alien fan? Well, I really always, ever since the original release, felt how the hell could such an enormous alien burst out of a regular sized rotweiller (sp.)? This made so much more sense (if anything can make sense in an Alien film) and set the tone for what I was experiencing with the new (to me) version of A3.

Love this film, and will be viewing it again soon, after I have had time to digest what I have seen the first time.

Also, dammit, the new version has made wonder if I should start looking for a Sideshow Alien3...

 

[Reaktwon]

I couldn't believe just how different the directors cut was compared with the theatrical release. The ox does make more sense than the dog to me as well. David Fincher had much bigger plans for the movie but Fox got in the way and put a crimp on that. Apparently there is still a great deal of animosity from him towards Fox. I don't think he had anything to do with the directors cut. The whole thing was a bit of a dogs breakfast from the start, but at least the directors cut gives us a better idea of the direction the film would have gone without the studio interference.

Yeah the ox makes more since and the extra scenes make the movie much more coherent than the original.

 

[Reaktwon]

Watched A3 last night, I never get sick of it.

A1
A3
Aliens
AR
AVPR
AVP

 

[Hex]

I love the start where it continues on from Aliens.

 

[Reaktwon]

Would have been nice if Hicks and Newt had survived.

 

[Hex]

But then it would have been another movie.

 

[Reaktwon]

A better one. Seriously though, I think the directors cut is the only way to go with A3; the whole dog thing was just silly.

Current ranking:

A1
A2
A3
A4

 

[Hex]

Oh, I agree - the dog was a rather silly concept. I could never understand how such a small animal could contain that large chest burster.

 

[Reaktwon]

I think the ox was the original idea but Fox execs thought the dog was cooler.

 

[Hex]

I read that somewhere, too. At least we ended up with the extended cut. Have you got any pics of the ox and dog?

 

[Sabres21768]

I think the ox was the original idea but Fox execs thought the dog was cooler.

I think that putting it in a Rottweiler was meant to make it seem meaner.

I prefer the ox myself.

 

[ElArtEast]

The first is definitely the best with Aliens coming in a close second.

 

[Reaktwon]

The whole ox scene is a whole lot cooler, too. A3 is at the top of my list right now.

 

[Hex]

It's right there next to Aliens for me, I love the feel of the movie and the world they created - it's very close to Alien in many ways. Wouldn't you agree?

 

[Terminator_Fan_Game]

i really cant decide between alien and aliens...

 

[RIDDICK]

I love this classic trilogy!
*Resurrection sux ant's balz*

However if I still must choose only one... then I give my vote to "ALIEN".
1) All began from it!
2) It's Ridley Scott!
3) It's Giger!
4) It's a terrific si-fi!

And ofcourse...

 

[Reaktwon]

Much love for Sigourney Weaver!

 

[a-dev]

I have love but I must say I've never had "I'd like to ____ her" love. Thats a mystery to me.

Funny, my brother fixed my G/Fs laptop after it contracted a virus from the Hot Toys website and I'm now back using it - but while it was out of commission I was on an older laptop with wonky keys. The 'a' didn't work and every time I was posting I had to copy and paste 'a' - very frustrating but I got used to it - So used to it that I'm still finding myself trying to copy&paste the damn 'a's ......ok maybe not LOL funny.
