Alien Prequel & new BlueRay anthology release

I'm really pissed off with this prequel crap. The Alien films are among my favourites and I think it's appalling that they're taking away the enigma and mystery surrounding the space jockey. Muppets.
 
I am in two minRAB about this.

Firstly I love the first two Alien films. I don't like the other ones, and have managed to tune them out of existence inside my little mind world.

So I will be open minded about the new film. If it is great, I shall love it. If it is not great, I shall forget all about it.

All these spin off's are unable to affect the greatness of the first two films, and so their greatness shall prevail, whatever else happens around them.

When is the box-set out? Even though it does have the dodgy sequels, it seems like the only way for me to own the first two films on blu-ray for now.
 
do we really want to know about the 'space jockey' though? Personally, I couldn't give a toss, some things are best left to the imagination, I thought Scott would have been the first person to appreciate that concept.
 
The Aliens comic series had a very good storyline about the spacejockeys, and what they were doing with the alien eggs. I wouldn't write them off just yet brother.
 
Any Alien movie is good with me, the original and sequel are so untouchable.

Unless they're planning a Christmas Special and have the cast dress up and sing - nooo, no producer would be that dumb.:D
 
Why do they keep changing the logo around? And now they have changed it from Quadrilogy to Anthology. My god, settle on something and stick with it!

The prequels should be interesting, I know nothing of the Space Jockey or what they were doing with the Aliens, so if we get a great psychological horror/action fest like we did with the first two films, then I'm all for it personally. :)
 
but aren't we just going to end up with yet another film about one alien species fighting another alien species? These creature features are very captivating.

At least Scott's directing it, the problem is he's not very good at handling sequels.
 
I think he wants to reclaim the series in the face of the godawful AVP movies.
It seems they couldn't reach an agreement on doing a sequel which is a shame. Alien Resurrection had a cliffhanger ending of sorts did it not?
A prequel isn't the best idea but he has promised to return to the dark atmosphere of the original which bodes well. And the door is open for Giger to add new creations too.
 
I doubt Ridley would want to do a sequel seeing as how awful Alien Resurrection was and where it left the franchise. Doing a prequel was probably the only option, unless they did something to make it seem that Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection never happened, but they wouldn't dare do that.

Maybe an Alien 5 could be set in the 200 years between Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection, dealing with another group of scientists sent out to LV-426 (maybe from a rival company to Wayland Yutani) to get some Alien samples and run into trouble but end up discovering something about the Aliens themselves that Ripley/WY don't or didn't know which gives it a whole new element...
 
well - why make one Alien prequal when you can make 2....

and as far as sequal stoires go - i am loving what i have read about the Aliens:Colonal Marines game (hopefully) out later this year. its set after Alien 3; A group of new Colonal Marines go and find out what happened to the Sulco mission, go to LV426 and even Fiorina 161 (not quite sure how a story could develop from that, maybe a second queen facehugger was aboard the Suloco and utilised the bovine stock on the planet)...

not one to re buy any DVD i already own for Bluray...but i have always said to myself i would make an exception for an Aliens boxset (i am hoping they have made a better version of the extended version of Alien3...the alternate version was good, but the missing bits looked shocking unrestored)

and yes...i want that rediculiously expensive limited edition!!!! when is it out?
