October 17, 200619 yr Alien/Aliens is more my style. :ph34r: This throw anyone else off? Alien and Aliens have entirely different style and feel to them. One's a claustrophobic horror movie and the other is THE template for sci-fi action.
October 17, 200619 yr Liking both is not allowed? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
October 17, 200619 yr But are they of similar style, as Darque put it? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 17, 200619 yr But are they of similar style, as Darque put it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Broadly speaking, I would say yes. They are sci-fi horror as opposed to the supernatural bent of the Jason/Myers/Freddy films. Aliens is better than Alien 3... much better.
October 17, 200619 yr I don't see Darque's comment as saying the two Alien styles are really similar. Just that Alien series type suspense is more her 'thing' than Halloween etc. I agree that the 1st Alien was more sci-fi horror and the other more action - but both had the same kind of constant building never-let-up suspense imo. The first made me a lot more anxious/antsy sitting through it the first time, however. heh Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 17, 200619 yr sci-fi horror is what Aliens is. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 17, 200619 yr Aliens showed me the awesomeness that is Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton. Game over man!
October 17, 200619 yr "Short, controlled bursts. Aim for the head." Never has an action movie been better. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

October 17, 200619 yr I don't remember an "aim for the head" quote. I suppose I'll have to watch again. I remember it being Hicks looking over to Ripley saying "Remember: short controlled bursts"
October 17, 200619 yr I liked the whole Alien series. Aliens was the best of the four but Alien Ressurection freaked me out with that hybrid and all the failed Ripley clones.
October 17, 200619 yr Aliens was the best. The Space marines kick ass. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 18, 200619 yr Aliens was the best. The Space marines kick ass. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pssh. Aliens was what everybody thought Alien was going to be, guns a-blazin' versus big, scary aliens. Alien turned out to be considerably better than that. A bunch of blue-collar corporate slaves versus a single creature that they weren't prepared to combat. It was very Lovecraftian, very dystopian. And the DVD commentary is the best I've ever heard. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
October 18, 200619 yr Sorry got to disagree with both of you. Alien is a fantastic Horror movie. Aliens is a fantastic Action Horror movie. It's not the same thing.

October 18, 200619 yr Aliens showed me the awesomeness that is Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton. Michael... Paxton was hilarious...spittle flying everywhere as he ranted... Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 18, 200619 yr "Why don't you just put her in charge!?!" (I am having images of what was said just prior to Lady Crimson and Darque becoming moderators).
October 18, 200619 yr Sorry got to disagree with both of you. Alien is a fantastic Horror movie. Aliens is a fantastic Action Horror movie. It's not the same thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Science Fiction horror. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 18, 200619 yr Sorry got to disagree with both of you. Alien is a fantastic Horror movie. Aliens is a fantastic Action Horror movie. It's not the same thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So, which style do you like more then? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 18, 200619 yr Both. Otherwise I'd have just listed one of the two. I like both styles equally. While on the other hand, I'm not so keen on slasher horror or psychological horror for example. I like horror movies that either build tension slowly (like alien) or give it to you with a lot of action (like aliens)
October 19, 200619 yr I don't mind psychological horror. The horror that is really all in your head is kind of cool. Suspense = fun. Blood and gore = meh.
