Oops yeah, I should clarify.
I was talking about the elongated head that looks alienish and the claws.

You even think of hinting at any of it and we'll track you down and tear off your fingernails one by one while forcing you to watch AVP 2 on loop.I know the entire plot
Kind of wish I didn't know the ending
The Space Jockey ship in Alien was there for a really long time though, the space jockey with the heart burn was fossilized or something so I assumed it took place waaaay before

Knowing the plot or story doesn't ruin anything for me. Seems like this is true for a lot of people:

I read the leaked Prometheus script that's floating around. Still not sure if it's legit, but if so it just made me want to see it more since the story seemed interesting and fit well within the established universe. Now I don't have to be concerned that it'll be a huge mess and whether my money will be wasted on it. I won't spend the next three months having to avoid spoilers. I'm still really pumped to see the movie and the visuals that go along with the story.

I haven't read the script but I've seen some craziness related to it. And been told the plot because I begged for it. But now it hurts because I can't see it in theaters for MONTHS!
I tease my one friend a lot because he keeps reading spoilers and I smile because they are so off sometimes. I think a lot of them are fake thanks to random people who worked on production.
Imagine watching Alien knowing about the chestburster and that the unlikely Sigourney Weaver would be the only survivor. Still great, sure, but definitely not as tense.
Prometheus is one of those rare films where there isn't a big name actor that you know will be around 'til the end, or a threat we know everything about, or a novel it's based on. It's not a sequel, it's not a remake. I have no idea what to expect. Even if you still enjoy the movie, because of visuals/music/acting, you're obviously not gonna have half as good an experience watching it as someone who goes in blind. The reasoning you give for reading the script seem so weird. If you can't live your life normally without worrying if the movie will be bad (which there is zero reason to think) you've got issues.
But to each their own. Just don't hang around here giving 'subtle' hints to the direction of the story like some of you over-curious dudes tend to do.
Brilliant. I needed a good laugh for the day. THank you, sir.
Are you talking about the txt file containing spelling and grammar errors on par with a mentally handicapped 8th-grader? Yeah, that one's totally legit.
Big name isn't always a gaurantee of survival. Samuel L Jackson surprisingly got killed off really early in Deep Blue Sea, then again there's the trope of black people dying first... but then LL Cool J was one of the two survivors...

that little Memphis Reigns/Sculli exchange made me laugh out loud at work. Well done!

Good catch. There was probably only room for 6 characters though.For the record Weyland Yutani goes all the way back to the original Alien, though it was without a D. It shows up on the Nostromo monitors in a couple of scenes.

Alien on blu-ray is freaking astounding. For 30 years, I never had any idea that "Mother" was actual something like MU-TH-R; never noticed that stenciled on the panel near her terminal until last year.

Me too! And predictably he ducked out!

uh, what?
only GAF would get so offended about not liking a company name from a movie. Grow up children.

You got burned. It's as if you know nothing of the Alien franchise.
I got burned, eh? Yeah, big time man. I remembered something wrong and apparently offended people down to their veins. I'm such a bad person huh.

Just signed up for a new trailer premiere @ Disney (Anaheim) on Saturday the 17th. Ridley Scott will be there for Q and A.

Didnt duck out, just don't spend every waking moment on here. I mostly just lurk and never post.

Well it started when someone told me to kill myself when I misremembered the name of the company in the franchise. Huge overreaction if you ask me.

Same thing happened tI the TDKR thread.
Well, not exactly, but it did turn to shit rather quickly.
I'd rather people not bump threads like these for non news.
The 'bug hunt' term is fairly common military parlance for search and rescue I think, so Hudson could just be talking about the missing colonists

A question for fellow Alien fans. Where do you stand on the "Kane's son", "Kane saw it" dialogue debate. Some claim that Ash says the latter, others that he says the former, which lends credence to the theory that the Alien inherits more than just the physical aspects of its host. The Alien takes on Kane's subconscious memories which leads the Alien into 'exploring' Lambert.

It's always been "Kane's son" to my ears, not sure I was aware there was a debate. I know from what I've read in old interviews and maybe The Book of Alien that the folks behind the scenes were really into the overall idea of the alien literally raping Kane, impregnating him, and Kane giving birth.
EDIT: I just checked the script, no form of that line appears.

Do you mean the smartest thing ive done? I guess you are trying to be funny here but failed.

I was referring to what you said in that post. Said. Not did.
Forgive me if I don't consider you to be impartial on the matter.
I think he was reacting to the idea that you were saying Aliens was equivalent to AvP and shouldn't be considered canon.
Lucky sob.
You didn't just "misremembered"....
You "misremembered" with authority!

I've been wondering here, will any of the girls in the movie fall in love with a space jockey? That would be cool.
Dangit! Missed out. Would have gone for sure.
Why would AvP not be considered canon? Predators are part of the Alien universe.
Because the films are garbage and Ridley Scott doesn't give a shit about Predators in the Alien universe.
I know there is no unifying body for canon in the Alien universe, unlike Star Wars or Star Trek. That being said, I do not personally consider the AvP series canon. It was a bullshit money grab by the studios, set in modern times as it would have been more expensive to set the film in the future. the inclusion of WY in AvP is weak thread of connection to the original series. It was quite obvious that the people who wrote those movies knew nothing about the subject manner.
i don't count Alien: Resurrection as part of the series either. to me that movie felt more like a avp movie than a proper alien movie.
No they're not.
No, they're mash-up started in the comics. The Alien films are distinct from them, despite the posturing of the AvP ones as being prequels.
I know they started with comics (and then a rather brilliant video game - two of them, actually), but as far as the lore, they're worthless. Crossovers are designed to appeal to fanboys of those franchises. They are rarely meaningful in any way.
I meant to quote Zzoram, not you (fixed now). We agree. Two posters starting with Z was too much for my early morning brain to process.
Except the first reference in film was with Predator 2, so you could argue that the established relationship began way before those horrid AvP movies.
Except the Predator films aren't a part of the Alien canon or universe, so whatever that garbage sequel did was meaningless.

I'm gonna make like Milli Vanilli and. . .
Blame it on the Reign, yeah yeah!
Not only did he "forget" proper Alien lore, but he doesn't know how to use multiquote to reply, meaning. More shitty replies.
Shogmaster is totally going to blow Ridley Scott. It's Ridley Scott and his girlfriends fake boobs have scarred him for life.
Meh. That was an Easter egg for fans. Like the ETs in Star Wars episode 1 galactic senate. Does not cement an absolute connection
Of course, but it is a more credible link (if you wanted to make one) than those two POS movies. I have no problem with the two sharing the same universe. I don't think a lot of people would if the two properties were handle with an iota of respect.
And Predator 2 was awesome.
