July 19, 200817 yr I thought A3 had problems, but it also had great atmosphere and didn't pull its punches. AR was just weird and went nowhere. Edited July 19, 200817 yr by Whipporwill
July 19, 200817 yr Alien 3 bored me to tears. Alien Resurrection was intensely dumb but amusing in low brow sort of way. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
July 20, 200817 yr A:R also has Ron Pearlman, which makes gives it bonus points for sheer awesomeness. I thought Joss Whedon's script was decent, and I certainly see the smuggler crew as a prototype for what would eventually be Firefly.

July 21, 200817 yr Hey did you guys know Ron Perlman played Lord Hood in the Halo games? Now every time I see his face I'll think of Hellboy instead of the UNSC General. EDIT: Holy **** he plays in Fallout 3 too! Edited July 21, 200817 yr by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

July 23, 200817 yr EDIT: Holy **** he plays in Fallout 3 too! Eh, he's been in all the Fallout games. Legend has it he threatened MCA's life once. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

July 23, 200817 yr Actually it would have been awesome if Whedon would have done a TV series about the smuggler crew from A:R instead of Firefly. Don't get me wrong, Firefly is ace but Ron & crew were a lot more badass. And who knows, maybe a tv show set in the Alien world would have proved to be more popular than Firefly.
July 23, 200817 yr Found it So it's getting late, there's only time in the studio for single takes for most of the lines. Note that I'm not there for this, but I get to hear the recording later on from our overly-delighted sound engineer, Fred Hatch, who says, smiling, "hey, you have to listen to this, Avellone." Our audio director is getting Ron through his lines, when Ron hits one of my unintended alliteration minefields in one of the end sequences. He does a few takes, getting madder each time, until he finally says, "Who is this Chris Avellone guy?" At this point, I realize that because I am a formatting nazi, I have put my name at the top of each page of the script in case the audio director had any questions. As this sinks in, Ron exclaims. "I want him dead. I want his family dead. I want his dog dead." BTW, I don't have a dog, but if I did, it would most likely have been peeing on the floor like I was doing. He calmed down, though, and I continued to empty my bladder in the floor of Fred Hatch's office. And that is the day that I always made sure to read every line I wrote out loud just to make sure my imaginary dog would live to see another day.

July 23, 200817 yr I had a line for Revered Brother Poquelin in IWD that was read by John "Crypt Keeper" Kassir. I hadn't read it aloud to properly gauge how it sounded. He tried it a few times and then stopped to say, "This is the wordiest ****ing line I have ever read in my entire life." Yeah, table reads are a good idea. twitter tyme
