# really?
if i'd watched it when it first came out, i would probably appreciate Alien more but, as it stands, i think Aliens is much better.

# Yup, Alien feels very close and claustrophobic
and it's supported by one of the most awesome casts of it's time.
Aliens did feel close and chilling in places, but went from small to big set pieces very quickly
(in my humble opinion anyway)
The extended version MORE than makes up for this fleeting direction though,
and makes for a much better film
(as indeed does the longer, uncut version of Alien 3, which introduces so much more, and is a cracking uncut film)

# Indeed.
Verily, you speak the truth.

The uncut version of 3 is good, is it?

# aye, plays out the story a lot more
and a nice twist which plays back to Finchers original idea as to where the Alien comes from.

# its more like the book
as above, so out with the dog idea and back to the bovine, also there is a reference to it in the original cinema version, of the waste holding container that they want to burn the alien down from the pipes and capture it, but it was never in the film, is now back in there :D

# the guns in the hallway?
loved them. i'm a fan of Alien 3 as well, purely because i like the concept of going from a well-armoured, well-trained fighting unit to a colony of weapon-free religious zealots, yet having to face the same enemy.

# Aye, Alien 3 (aka Aliens vs Brian Glover) ;)
even though I'm the 'Aliens' generation (30) i still prefer the first, primarily for its cast and feel

# i like watching Veronica Cartwright freak out
but, apart from that, it just didn't do it for me. i like more action and blowing stuff up ;)
