I really need to watch Alien 3 and Resurrection again. I've only watched them once each, years ago.

I really need to watch Alien 3 and Resurrection again. I've only watched them once each, years ago.

Not sure which version on A3 you watched but, IMO, The Assembly cut is he best version by far.

I could never quite connect with Resurrection but I couldn't tell you why

I believe I watched the extended cuts for all of them (including  Aliens) when I watched them as one.

I rewatched the theatrical cut of Alien 3 recently and it pales in comparison to the Assembly cut.

I just wish the Blu-ray had a secret third option. "Assembly Cut but with the dog-burster".

And if more people got tnis they would understand Alien3 is amazing.

For similar reasons, Alan Dean Foster's novelization is more satisfying than the forced Fincher cut. Key characters don't simply vanish. Right, Golic?

I think horror rather overdosed on dead dogs myself, which is why the victorious survival pooch in INDEPENDENCE DAY positively pushed my applause buttons. In the Foster novel---and the assembly cut, if memory serves---the first alien of ALIEN 3 bursts out of a freshly dead ox.

Is that the version where Newt and Hicks are not dead?

 

[Set Harth]

They're really not dead.

As long as we remember them.

For me, the Hicks-Newt funeral cutting to shots of Spike being 'burstered is far more effective than cutting to a slab of barely identifiable dead ox. It's wrenching and it's supposed to be.

Elliott Goldenthal's score here is magnificent. I was low-key obsessed with the Alien 3 score a few months ago and couldn't understand why I was so damn depressed all the time.

Even for bird-owners like me. I never could stand hearing real or imaginary upset dogs. I wish I'd never watched THE FLY II for similar reasons.

Probably better than the film as a whole. I do question reusing the ''Wreckage and Rape'' piece for Chris O'Donnell's narrow escape in BATMAN AND ROBIN. You might call it ''James Hornering.''

If Bones says it, ''WE will.''
