Why ALIENS Is the Mother of All Action Movies

CrushBugsays...

I love that they used the scenes from the Director's Cut of Aliens in here.

I got a chance to talk to Carrie Henn who played Newt, and a comic and entertainment Expo where they had the Aliens cast reunited. It was the only movie she acted in and she is currently a school teacher in California. I spent about 15 minutes chatting with her and her husband, as there weren't very many visitors at her booth. Good times.

I have only one complaint. Calling "Get away from her you bitch!" the most famous line underplays the fact that this film is chock full of the most quotable lines in film history.

Compared to just about anything Apone says, also Hudson and many from Hicks, that line is pedestrian.

-"I like to keep this handy, for close encounters."
-"How do I get out of this chicken-shit outfit?"
-"Game over man... game over!"
-"Well why don't you put her in charge?!"
-"Me and my team of ultimate bad asses are here to protect you!... We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks," etc.
-"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure."
-"A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal's a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade - I LOVE THE CORPS!"
-"What do you want me to do, fetch your slippers for you?" etc. and "Look into my eye......"

I'll stop before I end up pasting the entire script.

Edit: One final complaint - i consider Aliens to be tarnished by associations with modern wonder woman, which IMO was indicative of the abject failure of rich Hollywood males to produce a worthy female superhero.

Dannym3141 is so right!

"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?"
"No, have you?"

"I don't know which species is worse-- you don't see them fucking each other over for a percentage."

"I guess she don't like the corn bread either."

Another ALIENS quote related to ants: "Maybe it's like an ant hive..." "Bees man, bees have hives." "You know what I mean. It's like one female that runs the whole show." "Yes, the queen." "Yeah the mamma. She is bad*ss, man. I mean big." "These things ain't ants estupido." "I know that."

Sorry, missed this question from before.

No, I totally forgot. I was having such a nice chat and we said bye like friends and it was about 1/2 an hour later when it struck me.
