The Internets are fond of quoting Aliens, but it's not because the dialogue is brilliant. - con_carne Jun 26, 08:41

2 hours in the corner. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 08:40 19
- Absolutely nobody watches "Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." and thinks "Mmmm, that's genius filmmaking." -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 08:45 7
  - *bangs on sarcasm detector* - Spawn Jun 26, 08:57
  - and yet, it's a one of the best bug hunt/future military films ever done. -- nm - Remlik Jun 26, 08:55
  - And yet, it gets quoted daily. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 08:48 4
    - Again, because it's funny -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 09:01 3
      - you're confusing funny with awesome -- nm - Beaker Jun 26, 09:01 2
        
        I mean, if you think relentlessly over-the-top movies are to be taken seriously at all times, there's little more I can say to you :-) -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 09:09 1
        
        :-) -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 09:09
- I just watched it two weeks ago. I was taken aback by how cheesy it is now. -- nm - David Jun 26, 08:40 10
  - I enjoy it as a midnight movie -- nm - con_carne Jun 26, 09:02
  - I watched it for the first time fully through on Friday and while it's better than that boring first movie, it's not a great movie in any regards imo. -- nm - Shaun Jun 26, 08:42
  - Been saying it for years...Alien is superior to Aliens. Period. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:41 7
    - Always has been. -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 08:58 5
      - I know...I have no idea how there's even a discussion about it. -- nm - Jim Jun 26, 08:59 4
        
        Even I can admit it is. But I personally love Aliens 10 times more than Alien -- nm - Jovian Jun 26, 09:01
        
        Don't get me wrong, they are both A+, but Alien just reworite movie making. - Spawn Jun 26, 09:01 2
        
        One of my more vivid memories as a kid... - Jim Jun 26, 09:08
        
        Well, not the same year, but close (saw them in theaters a little over a year a part). -- nm - Spawn Jun 26, 09:03
    - It wasn't in 1990 but it is now. All of the Cameron impersonators have made Aliens less special. -- nm - David Jun 26, 08:43
