We definately have different taste, I cry like a big pussy at the end of T2 every time. Love that movie so much, including all the sentimental parts.

Aliens is one of my favorites too, it's just non stop OTT action from start to finish and I love Ripley's relationship with Newt. Plus giant penis headed murderous beasts tearing apart dumb spess mehrens... what's not to love?

Titanic... you're missing the whole point of the movie... screw the sentimentality and visuals... it's got Kate Winslet in the nip! Yum. She was one perfectly endowed young lady.
Suppose we just have to agree to disagree. As old and tired as the expression is, I think it serves a purpose. After all, this is an issue that revolves entirely around each persons subjective input.

And I LOVE the first Alien.
The "xeno-phallic" imagery, the male's latent fear of rape...it has all these connotations of Freudian terror.
Aliens on the other hand reduced the idea to a bug hunt.
Not that chilling, I'd have to say.

As for Winslet...she's no Michelle Pfeiffer.

Maybe not, but she has nicer babylons.

I agree wholeheartedly with you on the first Alien, everything about it was great. The natural, improvised feel made it feel so much more real and terrifying.

As for freudian terror, let's not forget the vulva shaped face huggers that IMPREGNATE the men... that's some clever, clever design by the ever wonderful Mr Giger.

Not really, it all looks a bit too... colourful? I don't know the right words. However, I'm prepared to be proved wrong by it, just like most films. Except for the next Twilight film, unless Edward comes out of the closet and then spends an hour of screentime dying, slowly and graphically.

Ehem.

But yeah, it looks too garish really, funky blue elf people? ok, Cameron may be off his rocker. I don't think it will be as good as the Alien films or T2. Aliens was on film4 the other day... love that film....
