    aliens was one of the best movies ever. Sad to see them not able to come up with a decent movie to follow it up with. 3 strikes already.

    Except that one of the more interesting directors out there is a former music video guy, so they aren't 100% bad.... just 99.9999% bad.

    yea i kinda knew that the humans would team up wit the Preds. They are intelligent beings who can understand language, while the aliens are just animals. it seems the Predetors have some kind of honor code wit which they follow.

    I guess the movie slogan is true: "No matter who wins, we lose"...

    GOD I'm disappointed

    Who are you talking about? Spike Jonze? I know he got his start directing skateboard videos or something.

    Spike did that great video for Beastie Boys' "Sabatoge"

    mrpaige is probably refering to David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club, Alien3)

    Fincher did a lot of music videos,
    these are probably his best work:

    Paula Abdul's Straight Up & Cold Hearted
    Madonna's Vogue & Express Yourself
    Aerosmith's Janie's Got A Gun
    Don Henley's End of the Innocence
    George Michael's Freedom 90

    I read that Fincher was so pissed at studio interference on Alien 3 that he walked off the project right before they were about to edit it.

    Yeah I hear the Directors Cut of Aliens3 is pretty good.

    If you are a fan of the Alien franchise, you have to see the special edition of Alien3 that came out relatively recently. It's not a "director's cut" because Fincher did not want anything to do with the movie even after all these years (I wish he did change his minf though). The new version adds a lot of original footage back and drastically changes the movies tone and atmosphere by adding a lot more character development. It's actually becomes more of a thinking man's movie than the theatrical release, which was IMHO a major disappointment. Fincher is a great director (Seven, Fight Club), and it is too bad that a studio battle let a possibly good movie turn down right ugly.
