How come nobody has made a huge 4 HOUR documentary about the ALIEN movie? Did it not have the same cultural relevance?
Are you gonna watch this? I liked ROBODOC and this might be even better.

why would anyone pick the jar
Good morning sir!
>How come nobody has made a huge 4 HOUR documentary about the ALIEN movie?
Most of the cast is dead and Ridley Scott is a massive douche
If you haven't watch Blade Runner with Syd Mead's commentary, it's awesome. Tons of info. Ridley was a master of photography but he really had an amazing crew on that set.
One thing to note about Blade Runner is that Rutger Hauer's performance saved the idiotic script and Ridley's Hamfisted Jesus imagery which would fail if it were for any other actor.
Rutger is based. Ridley still doesn't know what he wants to achieve with Blade Runner.
>Ridley still doesn't know what he wants to achieve with Blade Runner.
I'm sure he'll figure it out with another 2 to 3 Director's Ultimate Final Masterpiece Editions
Ridley Scott is a monotonous hack and Alien and blade runner were blessed with a hardworking and gifted crew
>4k release is simply the 2k bluray release upsccaled and smeared with DNR
great job cameron
at least he's not a moron praising Pajeet movies. All that diving compressed Jimbo's brain. Ridley's movies are still watchable unlike Avatar 2.
Legend
Someone to Watch Over Me
Black rain
1492
White squall
GI Jane
Robin hood
Exodus
The counselor
Etc etc
>What brain damage from heavy metals does to a dumbass like ridley.
Ridley Scott frustrates me because sometimes he shits out a not great movie that still looks fantastic.
White Squall and Legend are amazing films. Also, GI Jane, Exodus, and Robin Hood, while flawed, are still kino. Frick anybody who disagrees.
Negative IQ take. I'm sure Exodus is the most watchable movie of the decade. That and don't forget "I'm gonna have to science the dogshit out if this unsalvageable dogshit movie". Truly in a league by themselves. Literally. Leagues below 3000 meters of dogshit.
The only fault I have with Aliens is that Giger wasn't brought on to do more designs. Cameron's crew did astounding engineering work, but showing Hadley's Hope was a mistake, even for an outline of Giger's ship design. And considering they did not have a clue how to twist the formula they just added bunch of tubes to Alien backs and had the mother be a real spindly creature with fricking giant stingray ellipsoid head. It works but it's really stock.
If anyone had the balls to truly follow Giger's designs there would be an extremely phallic Aliens movie with breasts. The threat he envisioned was always one of weird sexual violence. Think of Grace Jones merged with a Praying Mantis.
Ridley fricked up the Universe completely by explaining the Engineers so I'd just completely ignore that. Just set it around a small Alien temple based on Giger's spray paintings.
Giger approached the production of aliens but was rejected by Cameron. The king of the world wanted to design the alien queen from scratch and he got it.
From what I heard Cameron had presented an idea for another alien movie to Fox and they rejected it in favor of Alien vs Predator.I'm very curious to know what Cameron was cooking with this movie.
The engineers aspect is my least favorite element of the alien mythology.
>The king of the world wanted to design the alien queen from scratch and he got it.
he did a good job tho.
Got a source for this? I agree for engineers, but Giger's engineer design is the single most memorable aspect of the franchise.
>Giger's engineer design is the single most memorable aspect of the franchise.
not really. nobody really cares about it. they just see it as an origin piece. only ridley scott focuses on it because of his god obsession.
The real reason he rejected gigers sexual designs was because he wanted to a large audience to watch the movie. Alien was already a genre b-picture with a big budget. And JC's ideas were more in sync with the yuppie homosexuals hill and giler. Plus maternal imagery is more positive and reinforcing for the audience and brings in the female audience instead of more wieners and phalluses which would have alienated audiences further.
yeah honestly giger was a good jumping off point but the guy was a depraved pervert
Somehow he may be the proto-hentai addict but of course in his case it's not hentai but it's antichrist inspired imagery like satanic depiction of rape with emphasis on bizarre looking phalluses and orifices.
You make that sound like a bad thing.
Nothing more depressing than when they dredge up the old folk's home for some bullshit documentary full of trash everyone knows already and inconsequential tidbits.
>no Paxton and Matthews
They waited too long to do this...
im sure they honored them
>no Crowe
I'd trade half of them for Bill Paxton.
>How come nobody has made a huge 4 HOUR documentary about the ALIEN movie? Did it not have the same cultural relevance?
half the cast is dead
they weren't always dead
You gonna stream it for Cinemaphile when it comes out?
>You gonna stream it for Cinemaphile when it comes out?
lol no go buy it
So they just take Superior Firepower, the already perfect and greatest behind the scened doc which already has interviews from the mid 80's, 90's/early 2000s and just add interviews from the 2020s and also the Bill Paxton tribute?
>So they just take Superior Firepower, the already perfect and greatest behind the scened doc
it's a whole new doc like ROBODOC you dumb homo
Please pull out JC's wiener from your mouth before speaking. can't understand a word you're saying.
JC isn't making this doc you dumb homo
No you just like sucking on his wiener you low IQ slackjawed homosexual
Too bad Alien 3 wasn't interesting enough to warrant cast interviews decades later
>Alien 3
we just want to move on and pretend that didn't happen
>4hour+
nice
It's often forgotten Weaver is a nepo baby, probably because she isn't israeli and it's okay when gentiles do it but not when it's israelites.
What the story behind this masculine looking hag? I thought she didn't have any connections.
I thought she was israeli
she's genetically russian israeli (israelite) numbnuts.
she has the classic look, like the chick who played Gozer in og Ghostbusters.
Older Ukrainian phenotype = Ashkenazi/Khazarian.
>she's a israelite!
...oh hi, Ivan...hitting those Moscow posting quotas? I picked you up from 500 meters away squealing in whatever gibberish it is that you call a language.
>she's genetically russian israeli
Neither of her parents are showing that, anon.
She's a mix of British, Irish and Dutch according to wiki
>How come nobody has made a huge 4 HOUR documentary about the ALIEN movie? Did it not have the same cultural relevance?
they kept asking about the bonus situation
What’s the point? The behind the scenes documentary that was on the Quadrilogy discs or whatever that box set was called back in the day went through everything you could possibly want for a documentary.
SPUNKMEYER WE ARE ROLLING.
absolute keks will be had
I hate behind the scenes shit.
Then leave, child
>child
>hates behind the scenes shit
Nah, I'd say it's the other way around. Adults just want to be entertained / see something they haven't seen before / keep up with current ideas being promoted / watch out of morbid curiosity. Rather, it's children want to know all the ins and outs of how something was made, since they're still ignorant of the details. Adults already know enough and don't care anymore.
You're a moron trying to sound smart speaking about things you have no idea about. Frick off to the marvelslop thread with the rest of your braindead kind.
only saw the avp and the Prometheus movies, put on the first one the other night and it was so boring.
Who wants to sit through a bunch of homos discuss a shitty movie/franchise for 4 hours?
reminder she was just a rando who happened to survive in Alien and wasn't some superhero
yeah so?
so many people of coin, fricking hell...
>people of coin
wat
I love Aliens because it's simultaneously structured much like Terminator 2 - although Cameron did not do Alien, it has the same relationship with it as T2 has with T1.
>ordinary female protag becomes action hero
>the movie is one big chase
>robot from the first movie is now an ally
>original threat is now so present it seems impossible to overcome
>persistent nuclear threat
>psychiatric assesment
>(foster) parents die a gruesome death
And it mixes squad combat for good measure (even Michael Biehn is there, like it's the future and he's leading marines against Skynet). Other than that, it also looks like a Kurosawa movie and I'm not sure if the great man from Japans ever addressed it. Especially the way Cameron uses the weather effects, even when indoors. Wind is constantly blowing, something is dripping, arcing, you can feel the dirt, grime, vent air, atmospheric pressure, it really does feel like an alien world or a partly as a post apocalyptic scene from Ran mixed with a village in Seven Samurai.
Oh and I forgot it has near-exact elevator scene.
>Biehn looks around the interview room
>Michael Biehn: Where's Basque?
>Old man fear scream in the background
>Jeanette Goldstein notices a palestinian protestor and pulls out an uzi
>Goldstein : Ehhh lets rock goyim
>Goldstein kills the protestor and another guy working on the set
I don't wanna watch elderly people, they just look pathetic
