Re: Aliens Date: January 01, 2006 08:17PM |
I'm fan. I bought the Alien Legacy Collection(All 4) at a
yard sale. I actually like Aliens('86) better.
Carrie Henn, aka 'Newt': [www.imdb.com]
Her today: [cinema.castlerock.it]
I heard that her parents didn't like the way things were going
in the acting field and wouldn't let her act anymore after
Aliens.

Grateful11,
Well, I received two CDs: Alien and Aliens from my S/O for Xmas. I don't care for other ones. Hopefully, there will be the last one that will blow away all of them
10 years ago she gave me an original movie sized Aliens poster for my birthday. Still have it wrapped in the original wrapping. My only regret: Did not buy the Alien poster and Lt. Rippley action figure. As an art major I admire H.G. Giger's art work.
Regarding Carrie Henn, perhaps, her parents made the right decision.
Kap
SoCal for now.

My ex girlfriend had never seen the original Alien so I rented the DVD so we could have a Scary Movie Night.
I was looking forward to the scene where the alien jumps Dallas. You only see him for a moment but I always thought that was creepy as hell.
The moment came.
She laughed.
I never heard the end of it.

I agree with the parents decision but I bet she could make
fan appearances and make some extra dough. It looks like
that Ripley action isn't all that rare or sought after.
They don't go very high on eBay. You could pick one up cheap.

Re: Aliens Date: January 01, 2006 09:15PM |
One of the best sci-fi action movies EVER.
A friend and I must have seen that movie 40 times...
At one point at a group-of-friends get together, we started watching it and hit "mute"... my buddy and I started providing the voice-overs...
We weren't 100%... but close enough for some of the other guys to think it was creepy... (or did they say Geeky...).

Re: Aliens Date: January 01, 2006 09:55PM |
I saw Aliens in an honest-to-goodness theater this past summer -- at the Arclight in Hollywood, no less. (Local movie buffs know that the theaters at the Arclight are as good as they come.) Unfortunately, they seemed to have used an original print instead of one run from the master used to make the DVD. The sound was mono only and the image was not up to 2005 standards. It was still great to see it in a theater again, though.
It is what it is.
It is what it is.

NosX,
I love the ArcLight, and go there often as I can, but the print they had of Aliens was really bad, I don't know why they used that print, and no stereo, that was crap.
I originally saw it at the Pacific Cinerama Dome in 1986.

Aliens is my favorite scary film.
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
