Ahhh nuts. Apone was one of the best bits of an already excellent movie.

RIP sarge.

RIP

Al Matthews, the real-life military man who portrayed the no-nonsense, cigar-chomping Sgt. Apone in the sci-fi horror classic Aliens, has died. He was 75.

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.

^That's one approach to art, but certainly not the only one. Good luck to anyone trying to nail down what art is.


I dont think annyone was evan making an argument to what art is or is not bit weard to bring that into things.

before when i said "interms of artistic merrits" that was not me saying on a scale of weather it is artistically valid or not.

personaly i think everything can be "art" in gneral sence of the word , but realy its one of those words that initself dosent have a comonly agreed apon meaning so u would have to specifcally say what you ment by the word art and then evaluate if something matched the criteria you set up at that piont in time.

SO true. The double standard some vegetarians present is ridiculous. Also, veggies who wear leather are quite intriguing ethical conundrums, aren't they? This is one of my favourite of theirs.

Psh, like we all wear Cat sweaters and rock Peta bumper stickers.
I personally avoid dead animal flesh because i'm not a lion or vulture.
Don't you think it's strange we're the only animals that have to cook other animals before we eat them. (Or risk food poisoning, worms, death)
Also, I don't think the criticism is quite justified.
Vegetarians only eat plants. So why would one go purchase or have meat lying around just in case?
You guys are probably omnivorous. So you'd expect an omnivore to have a few vegatarian options about.
Likewise, if at a "Carnitarian's" house, is it appropriate to give them guff about not having any vegetables in the crisper drawer? And question why they have house plants?
I understand the joke, but if you put thought into it.. it doesn't quite make sense.




most omnivorous and meet eaters are susceptible to the same worms and problems with meat . but if u kill something fresh its normally fine , you don't actual have to cook Manny meats , Fish, Beef,Dear,Lamb,spring buck, maggots , lavee , so long as you get it fresh.

due to the way we kill animals and store them and genraly dont eat fresh fresh it dose make it safer to cook alot of meets but this also applies to vegetables and other non meet produce. I think Rice is actually one of the more common ways for people to get serous food poisoning Evan over meat.

I think in the case of most meats the more you cook it the more you actually lose from the meat where as with most vegetables light cooking increases there nutritional value as what is lost is replaced by the ablity for the stumach to better digest more of it.


Im just looking forward to the time we can grow meats so that we don't have to deprive creatures of life in order to eat something tasty and different from vegetables. Its also a shame that in most western cultures its frowned apon to eat larvii and bugs, when they make an excellent food source and also consume waste , would make far more sence than killing large wasteful and relitavly intelligent creatures like cows.

why oh WHY ARE PEOPLE so stupid. u just make it as it is eligal to buy kidi porn ore look at it its the same as geting drugs realy there is no way you will ever stop the suply compleaty you just arest people that are cought doing it.

granted its hard to catch people whio just get porn on ther pcs but you wouldnt need to catch them to fix the problem targeting the end user has never realy worked in these kind of things anny way what you do is targit the pedophiles that actualy take the photographs of the kids in the first place. if sumone buyes pedophilea from them it will be tracable evan if thay recived it so you just make that clear and make srue when u bust a pedo you make it reli public and allso trace where his photographs went and bust the people he sent them 2.

allso yah its very hard to stumble on child porn evan if you are searching for normal porn due to the simple fact that if a child porn website got anny sort of trafic it wud be essily tracable and be shut down. the closest thign to child porn you might stumble apon is ethor older woman that look younger and protend to be kids ore websites that belong to countries where the porn laws are sub 18.

wb indeed
Abscense was noted and wondered apon.

Putting sumone to death in a developed counrty is a compleaty ubsurd and eval thing to do. i cnt belive annyone would think that killing sumone is the corect actioin to take for annything sumome has done.

allso i belive it costs more to put people to death than to hold them for life ( in manny casses )
mestakes are made and inosent people are put to death
you canot lern annything about sumone and why thay took there actoins once thay are dead
i havent seen anny evidence to sajest killing people reduces crime

the only time death pental makes sence would be when you are in a limitid situatoin like u cnt take hostages ore you simply donot have the means to ceep sumone who is potentaily dangerouse to people in a an enviroment that would keep them and you safe

i cnt belive people actualy put up with the fact in some states thay have death penalty i would have thought thousends apon thousends of people would protest it whats up with americans that thay dont do annything about sutch blatently obvously stupid things.

just watched it so stupid how thay constantly go on about how porn is bad sure there will be some people who are "adicted" to porn but the vast majorty of people will just watch porn every now and then and evan if thay wached it 3 times a day as long as it dident intafear with work ore other important thinks in life i feal to see what the problem is. a documentrys foundatoinal idoligy should not be bassed apon an asumptoin this documentry is bassed on the asumptoin that porn is bad for you with no actual brake down ore analisis on weather porn is good ore bad for you.

fucktard*ehem*. Isn't this also the same song for once apon a time in china?
