With such ease. All fans needs is even the flimsiest of excuses. Really.Monterey Jack wrote: I bet a lot of fans would gladly sweep Alien 3 and Ressurection under the rug for a genuine sequel to Aliens. Those Dark Horse comic books from the late 80's and early 90's would make for a great template to follow.
Hell, there's any number of things like those DH comics for example that would be way better than what was done.
Case in point:
Fine by me. Newt wakes up and it was all a horrible nightmare. They got stuck in suspended animation for way too long for (fill in the blanks here.) Beautiful. Easy, clean, you have a lead that's a fairly decent actress and can kick ass and has enough of a name to be a new franchise lead.AndyDursin wrote:I'm with you on that.

Works for me.

Imagine her as Ripley's heir apparent. Newt grown up. It works. I can see it.AndyDursin wrote:Aaah Summer, always nice to see her smiling face

Looks like a street date of 6/12 in the US, according to Digital Bits.AndyDursin wrote:There's no certainty Mike but based on based experience, I've got to believe what will trickle out here will be the exact same as what's on there. Unless they supplement it with even more content, but I doubt that. It has remastered transfers of 1 and 2 (with DTS MA), 3 and 4 -- every one has deleted scenes and trailers, and I believe commentaries sadly by an elderly (and forgetful) Donner and an uncredited moderator (I only heard parts of the 1st one, and it's painful). The 5th disc is exclusively the new documentary.Mike Skerritt wrote:Andy, from what you know is the eventual US release of the LW set going to be the same as what's available elsewhere? If so I'll gladly shell out $36 to Amazon UK and import the thing.
They might put more on there BUT given how little interest they've shown in it -- basically squatting on it for over a year already -- I'd go ahead and import it if you're interested. Certainly the price is undoubtedly better now than what Warner would charge for a 4-film release in the U.S. -- about $25 shipped from Amazon UK:

And a $70 MSRP which means probably $50 or so...will be cheaper to import it unless you want to wait for a sale to drop it down eventually.Mike Skerritt wrote:Looks like a street date of 6/12 in the US, according to Digital Bits.

I still have never seen that. I was too busy to watch anything today, but this day last year I watched 500 Days of Summer (or was it the year before?).Monterey Jack wrote:The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005): 9.5/10

It's the only cinematic love story I can personally relate to in any way, shape or form.

That and Role Models are two of the funniest comedies of the last 5-10 years IMO.

God, ROLE MODELS. That's the kind of movie I get sucked into every time it's on, and every time the Marvin Hamlisch line KILLS me.AndyDursin wrote:That and Role Models are two of the funniest comedies of the last 5-10 years IMO.

Gets me too every time -- it's just so inspired, from the Hamlisch line to the whole bit with Ken Jeong eating in the Burger King-like joint before the medieval role playing finals.Mike Skerritt wrote:God, ROLE MODELS.

The same director/writer has WANDERLUST coming out next week with Rudd and Jennifer Aniston going into a hippie colony or something like that. I wouldn't have much interest but with the same creative team I'm planning on seeing it.
