Sorry for the derail, but I just wanted to say
Alien, is the movie that made me love "scary" sci fi. I was but a babe when it came out, but when I was ~10 or so, my buddy "borrowed" it from his parents Beta Rack, and we stayed up and watched it one night. I didn't sleep right for days. And once I did, I fell in love with the idea that Science Fiction could embody both the fantastical (say.... Star Wars, which I love), and the terror inducing.
Color me a fan of both. I'd love to see a "well done" movie series that embodied both. Even with some of the problems inherent in the later Alien Movies I love them, because of the very clear, and present threat that these monstrous aliens have.
I also love Predator, and the various sequels / cross overs it spawned, save AVP2. That thing, should never have been made. How can you take such an amazing idea (a predator being the host to an alien spawn), and ruin it with such a terrible, terrible, story / premise. Ugh.
