...That's exactly what I said you suggested in the post you quoted. :huh:
 
Ah, it's good to be back....

So, what's new with you guys? Has anyone picked up the DVD yet?
 
Thanks & I really hope I, myself enjoy them as I love watching special features on movies to see how they were made and what work went into making them as I aspire to be a movie writer one day myself.

Btw, aren't there two different versions of the DVD?

Well, I'll be trying to get the DVD with the best special features.

Any word on AVP3 yet?
 
Damn, I was hoping to get a little more info by now. I hope we get something new and fresh, like with the Predalien. Like a lot of other people, I don't think the next one needs to take place on Earth but if it does take place in space, we still need some humans.

The film isn't balanced. The Predator just keeps owning Aliens left and right like in AvP:R.

That's because the Aliens suck and the Predators kick ass! What the Predator needs is a more worthy opponent, like a Terminator or Rambo. Now THAT'S a movie!

As I've said before, the aliens need to be made stronger than they have been in the last two movies. I want them actually putting up a fight and not being killed so easily by human weaponry.

Btw, I want to know: How long can facehuggers survive after coming out of an egg if there is no host around?
 
my guess is a day or so. in order for it to live longer it would need to eat and i doubt it has a digestive system. that's probably the reason why it needs to transfer itself to a host instead of just growing into an adult.
 
Well, I know that it can live if it's put into one of those things the Predator's had them in AVP:R but I just needed to know how they would live without one. Also, I don't know where I read it (might have been here) but can't the facehugger technically be considered the alien's true form since it takes the form of it's host when it attaches itself to someone?
 
I doubt facehuggers are meant to be ambulatory for a long time. Still, who knows? O'Bannon wanted the Alien itself to be able to live for centuries, and Ripley only portrayed it dying after it "laid its seed" in Lambert. For all we know, they can go into stasis like the eggs and Aliens can.
 
Interesting...but there's one thing I don't understand....if Aliens take the form of their host, why the hell do aliens look that way? Is it simply because of their genetics?
 
They inherit traits of a host through adaptation. That is to say that they take the best traits for survival in a foreign environment. I think AVP: Requiem's PredAlien was screwed up by the studio in that department, but that's already done and over with. The point is that we really don't know what they look like. For all we know, a freak Alien that hasn't taken any traits would be a larger, metallic chestburster. Or not. Who knows?
 
Would it be too far fetched for a facehugger to attach itself to an Alien? Maybe then we'd get it's true form. As for the Predalien, I agree although I did like the design and I felt she was cool but if we do get another Predalien, it needs to have a more updated design.

no, what im saying is (essentially) NO HUMANS... period... just two hours of predators and aliens tearing the crap into each other and colonial soldiers (with very little dialog, no names, no scenes between each soldier)... remember how great the first 5mins or so with the surreal fx were in AVPR? and all the human-less scenes in AVP1 were fantastic... im just saying, no humans could equal a great AVP film

that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard... seriously.

The thing that most people who present that theory forget is how the chestburster incubates. We see in Alien 3 that the chestburster grows with veins and tissue connected from the host to itself; essentially, it's the chestburster forcing the host body to "provide" for it.

There's three issues with the "facehugger implanting an Alien" possibility. The first has to do with what I just mentioned. Fully grown Aliens don't seem to require food; when there isn't something to kill, they simply go dormant. So an adult Alien lack nutrients in its acid blood or tissue to allow a chestburster to grow. Another more obvious factor is the concept behind the Alien- it's always out to screw other living things, but there's no in-fighting unless they really need to kill one of their own to escape like in Alien: Resurrection. Plus, the final assumption: That the Alien is on its home environment, where a pure version might be useful (if even that, since it may be that they evolved acid blood due to being the prey of a greater creature).

With all those things in mind, I don't think we'd see a natural occurence of a "pure" Alien. Still, who knows what science could do in future films.

I never thought about that but I guess it wouldn't be able to happen due to the acid alone. Still, it's a cool idea if anything else.

So, which fictional characters would you like to see a facehugger attach itself too?

Agreed, who the hell wants two hours of just non-stop action? Sure, action is good but with no dialogue being in the movie, what'd be the point of making it? It really is a dumb idea.
 
If a Facehugger ever tried To Attatch itself to another Alien,They could just Destroy it with their inner jaw,Aliens are immune to their own blood :oldrazz:
