Also JUST started Aliens and I just want to say I ****ing hate James Cameron. This has NONE of the feeling of Alien. This is supposed to be as good as the first one? It's so melodramatic and spiritless. **** James Cameron, seriously.

EDIT: His use of fading scene transitions makes me want to vomit.

I'm making my bf watch Dogtooth because he hasn't seen it in exchange for Gummo which I still haven't seen.

I think it's overrated too tbh, but it's still a hella fun action movie, though Cameron did a better job with Terminator 2. Just don't watch Aliens like Alien. At least it did what more sequels should do rather than try to clone the original.

I really hate James Cameron. This is not going well so far. This is not what I wanted after loving Alien and Blade Runner hahahaha.

EDIT: I don't know how he manages to make even giant set pieces look like they're made out of play dough but by god he's done it

EDIT: Honestly this is the worst

Each of the 4 Aliens movies had a very different feel to it. Aliens was the action movie. You might not like it, sure, but the fact that it doesn't have the feeling of Alien is not a bug, it's a feature, so to say.
Personally I love Aliens, or Alien 2 as the movie is called here. One of my favorite movies of all time.

I definitely like the first one a lot better, but I still think Aliens is a good movie in it's own right. The first one is horror, and is remarkably grounded with how convincingly realistic the characters are. Every time I re-watch it, I'm impressed with how timeless it seems, how good it looks, how great the actors are at bringing their characters to life.

The sequel is an over the top action movie with smartass dialogue and explosions. For what it is, I consider it a classic. The only flaw of the movie that matters to me is how it drags a tiny bit in the end, since it has like three major action set pieces in the last 30 minutes. All super hero and action movies do that now, of course.

Just gonna assume that English plural conventions aren't appreciated in Poland?

Polish translators are a special bunch. They couldn't care less, as it seems. The best example of this is the movie Die Hard, which came out as "Szklana Pułapka", which translates to "The Glass trap". It made some sense in the 1st movie, but only then. This
But that particular can of worms deserves a separate thread. If you want some more idiocy and bizzarro crap, see this: Polish movie posters.
I don't think anyone would guess what the artist was smoking, but I think he should stop. This is the Alien poster as it was promoting the movie. Back then importing actual posters was virtually impossible, banned as "capitalist propaganda", so they came up with.. well, you be the judge ;)

All of those are amazing. I like how C3PO with the bottomless, black pits for eyes somehow comes across as a Lovecraftian horror.

They span like 50 years and were made by various artists, so they're rather uneven.. Many acclaimed artists created these, often as a middle finger to the censor. Sometimes not. You can read up on it a bit, if you want.
