That basically sums up that situation, I think.
Also: Prometheus. Oooh baby, I can't wait for that one!

awesome movie poster friday - the ALIEN edition!
That's right, making good on a promise of yesterweek with these posters from the Alien series...and man, these posters have me wanting to dig into the movies again. Well, the first two, anyway. Maybe the third, which I like if I can keep my brain from screaming YOU DID WHAT TO NEWT AND HICKS the whole time. Alien Resurrection...now, that one I really have no desire to watch ever again. I don't remember hating it, necessarily, but I can't say I enjoyed it. For me it's kind of the equivalent of getting food poisoning from chicken chow mein or what have you- perhaps it's nothing against chicken chow mein itself, but rather the bad experience has my body fighting with everything it has against trying it again. I found a DVD cover for the film that features one quote on it, no tagline. The quote, from People Magazine: "Resurrection rocks!"

Also: Prometheus. Oooh baby, I can't wait for that one!

I love me some Alien! Gonna have to break out the box set :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite franchises, although I hate that Cameron took the horror out and replaced it with silly action scenes. I'm so glad Prometheus is setting things right again.
ReplyDeleteOne part of me says, "Cool. Human, Alien, and Synthetic." The other part says, "Snicker. Blood, Piss and Semen."
ReplyDeleteThe worst thing about the third Alien film was it's name. Or at least the way it was rendered. Either they were suggesting that this wasn't just the third Alien movie, but it was Alien X Alien X Alien. That doesn't make much sense. The other option is that it was subtly the third Alien. The small three is just so non-committal.
I love the Polish Alien poster (number 6). I'd love to hear the story behind how the artist got it so wrong. (The poster is great though.)
ReplyDeleteDamn these are awesome. So many Alien posters I never saw before.
ReplyDeleteThe Ghanaian looking posters are awesome, my favourite is no#6 with the ribcage face.
ReplyDeleteHaving recently watched the quadrilogy box set I found I only like the first one now. I could've sworn I loved Aliens but the crew reminded me of Team America World Police and the little kid screaming none stop kinda ruined the film for me.
Some films are best left as a nostalgic memory, the extras in the box set are good though.
"Snicker. Blood, Piss and Semen."
ReplyDelete^ What a perfect describtion. But anyway I love me some Alien also.
Hi Stacey, I think you were following my Necrotic Cinema blog. Or at least I seem to following yours :) I had to change the URL for a couple reasons. Things will improve for me but the drawback is I lost all my followers. If you like the sick site can you refollow me at:
