Subject: RE: Alien v The Exorcist: You DecideGrasshopper.. Alien has many things. Suspense. Mood. Seemingly invincible, murderous predator. Fantastic characters. Great dialogue - "In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, we're getting our asses kicked!". Tension. Great gross-out effects. Convincingly isolating sets. But mostly... it has Ripley. Ripley, the most courageous, kickass, no nonsense, realistic hero ever. Riiiiiiipley. Say it with me. Ripley. Alien doesn't just have staying power, it has sequel power. Ever see an Exorcist sequel? That stuff shouldn't be played anywhere other than the Lifetime channel. Late at night. Like around 3am. After the Ronco infomercials. Edited by Renee 2005-10-20 4:53 PM
