Well, AvP took in $38 million this weekend; I’m sure it will more than cover its $60 million budget in domestic and foreign box office runs, not to mention video and DVD.

I guess that’s good news for Alien 5; thanks Paul for not killing off the series. Please let it be Ridley Scott or James Cameron!

On a side note, check out this book:

Plus, I have an autograph and a piece of the movie coming this week. How in the world did I pull that off, you ask? If you order a box of the movie cards, each box is guaranteed to include one of each. Not to mention a complete set of the cards 😀 They’ll go great in my album with all the other ones.

Hmm… nice find!

I don’t think they ever actually stated breakfast in the film, just that it was one last meal before they went back into the “freezers”. Apparently Kane decided to take the “last meal” part a little too literally 😀

However, an important point is that the difference between night and ‘day’ in orbit around LV-1201 (if it is breakfast [they were drinking coffee] ) may be shorter than that around Earth. So the Alien could have been born in far fewer ‘Earth hours’.

Apparently I’m a bigger fanboy than Paul Anderson claimed to be 😀

And it took a while for Kane to “hatch”. Remember, first they had to get him back to the ship (a few kilometers if I remember right), then he had the thing on his face in the CRT scanner thing, then everyone was off doing other crap to get ready for takeoff. Then it came off his face and died, and then later still he woke up. Then they all got ready for chow, and an uninvited guest decided that a free meal was too good to pass up.

Alien: Resurrection was decent until you saw the tlaughable Newborn 😀

Yes, you’re right. I was re-reading the transcript, and it’s night when they get Kane onto the Nostromo, and when they’re settling in for breakfast in the morning, his chest bursts.

Heh. I got 11/11. It accused me of being a Predator 😎

You could get a pretty good idea. Kane was in sick bay for at least a few hours. The same timeframe holds true in Alien Resurrection as well. Remember, Johner and Christie are sitting watching TV and chilling for a while. And Elgyn does ask Perez for a few days for his crew to relax on the station. We do know from the movies that Aliens can go from chestburster to killing machine in short order, the only thing is that in humans it takes a while to “grow”.

You bas****, how dare you get 11/11? 🙂

Yeah, but did they say that Kane was in sick bay for a few hours? I actually liked Alien Resurrection quite a bit.

i posted detalied link on facehuggers work earliar based on the first movie which has some juciy facts on it if u read that u realise its impossible for them to come out in anything less than 3 hrs let alone few mins.

The anchorpoint essays are speculatiion; I’m speaking strictly from the movies, Ripley in the original Alien never kept track of how much time since incubation it took for Kane to move to the chest-bursting stage. Also, it mentions in the Anchorpoint essay that the time to go to chest-bursting depends on the Xenomorph’s metabolism, and that in turn depends on its source of food, which could vary from victim to victim.

Nice review SOC, glad you liked it.

I don’t think they ever mentioned in Alien how long the incubation period was for a facehugged victim, did they?

Also, can’t wait until Blade: Trinity comes out. 🙂 Yeah, I’m a comic book fan.
