DVD Collection #4: Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Alien Ressurection

Yes, it's true...I own them all...even Alien 4, which some people say is the worst one, but I liked it. By today's standards, the Alien Quadrilogy isn't really scary, but it's an enjoyable monster movie...about monsters that think and they also remember Ripley over generations. She must be a special lady.

The only part I thought was strange is that the Aliens never age...over thousands of years they look exactly the same. I also feel like, because of the changes in filmmaking technology, that the Aliens in Alien Vs Predator are cooler looking and more advanced than the Aliens in the original. But that was just a battle movie afterall and the Quadrilogy is a scary alien movie.

Who would win in a fight? The alien from Alien or the aliens from Independance Day?

WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE: OK, If I were the main character in the Alien movies, I would have done everything the same as Sigourney Weaver's character except for cuddling with the Alien at the end of Alien 4. It's true...I would have attacked it in the first one to save myself, I would have been pissed that it survived into the second movie when clearly I had thrown it out an airlock...so I would have killed it again. I totally would have thrown myself into the lava at the end of the third one if I had one of those damn things inside of me...just waiting to crack my chest and pop out. And well...how exactly did they recover her DNA after she had one of them inside her to create a clone??? Don't ask...just watch and pretend it makes sense.
