You should definitely try the first.

You seem really torn up about a guy with a move called the superman punch is making superman references

We need to tie this back to Wrasslin'
Time to review the WWE films selection, then again I don't wish death on Stro so maybe not.

I...totally disagree. Alien is a masterpiece of psychological sci-fi horror and has the best mood of any of the movies. Aliens is a marines and guns wankfest that is still a pretty cool action flick.
I'd go D&D > Liar > Ace Ventura 1/2 > Mask > Forever
Truman and Cable Guy I think are too different to rank with his prime 90s flicks. Batman Forever is basically Jim Carrey playing an amalgamation of all of his other 90's characters with a touch of 60's Riddler thrown in

We should refer to Reigns as "Big Blue" as Vince will no doubt have issues understanding.
he was a decent Riddler but I hated the movie
Truman was so damn good I love it so much

UniSol: Regeneration is my favorite. The final 25 minutes is beautiful.
I really don't like comic books and super heroes and the movies and TV shows generated by it all.
I think Jim Carrey today would make a better Riddler than 90's Carrey. Also having a better script/director would help. Carrey as Riddler should have been a much bigger slam dunk than it ended up being, it's possibly the greatest fuckup Schumacher made with Batman. He pretty much needed to simply copy/paste the animated series Riddler into the movie and be done, but didnt
The thing that made the Bond movies interesting to me was that I'd never seen them. When you bring up all these other big franchises, I've seen them all so many times.
Also I'm about 30 minutes into Austin Powers and it's actually less funny getting the references. It's barely even a parody. It's just a straight rip off almost on the level of the X Movies mixed with weird Canadian humor. I can't tell how much of me not finding it funny now is due to age or knowing the Bond stuff now. It's just so...mid to late 90s.

I absolutely hated Regeneration. I kept hoping for something that never really panned out.
idk man, seeing those trailers for D&D2 makes me wanna puke. He's so old and the jokes seem so out of touch...
This is a great idea!
D&D2 was better than "When Harry Met Lloyd" at least
I like GAF Hiatch's new gimmick
Alien is incredible. Maybe a 10 out of 10, that movie. I have Aliens on Blu-Ray, but I haven't watched it yet. I'm afraid it's going to be a Terminator 1/2 kinda thing for me. I really enjoyed the first one, but the second one was just kind of eh. I also have the Alien game. Should I play that before or after Aliens?

Alien Isolation really only jives with the first Alien. Dive in right now if you want.
Watching Aliens before playing Isolation won't affect the game what so ever.
I'm legit shook by the slight Terminator 2 hate I'm seeing around here though.

Aliens is the best out of the series imo. Can't go wrong with Alien either.
I thought it built up to the third act perfectly. I love everything about that movie. I need to watch it again.

A guy comes in here and reads this shit.
Alien is a masterpiece and puts Aliens to shame. Puts a ton of movies to shame.
If we're looking for franchises that stro might not have seen, I'd throw the Gamera series out there for consideration
Despite being in the same franchise (and a sequel to the first movie) I find it really hard to compare Alien and Aliens mainly because they're completely different genres from one another. Honestly the smartest thing Cameron did with the sequel was turn it into an action/survival movie, a second horror movie wouldn't have worked at all.

If someone hasn't seen Lethal Weapon 1, 2, or 3 they should fix that. 4 is shit, fuck that movie. And fuck Jet Li unless he's in Once Upon A Time In China.
I don't hate Terminator 2. I just thought it was kind of mediocre. I also watched Jaws for the first time not too long ago and thought it was boring. I'm a weirdo.
And I think I'm going to get a new TV soon, so I'll probably wait to play Isolation on that. I guess that just gives me more time to put off Aliens.

Once Upon a Time in China series is pretty fun except the one entry where they have a Jet Li replacement. It has the best wire fu around.
edit: wait, turns out there were two with the replacement guy
People just hate Cameron after Titanic. They want to see him fail....but he just can't.

I think the whole "faster than a speeding bullet" spiel is famous enough to get a pass no? Most of the audience knows what he's talking about without it being too niche
Only with less sound effects

Well don't put it off - Aliens IS dope. It's just completely different from Alien. It is the big-budget action movie compared to the original thriller. It's just two different worlds, and both of them are dope.
I guess I just don't like that Cameron's two most successful movies are his two weakest and most predictable ones.
Man, the Gamera series might be the weridest movie series I have ever seen, no serires has had the quality shift that they have had.
That's sometimes how it goes. Most accessible is most profitable.

Aliens has just been iterated on so much by everything that it kind of loses its impact.
Not the movie's fault, but when even a film makes it way to theatres with the Final Fantasy name and is just following the same ass Aliens template you get a little bitter feeling toward the whole thing. Still like the mother vs mother climax, though.
Alien is just a masterclass in tense, suspenseful filmmaking and even featured a nice surprising wrinkle with the

Personal Fave Five movie for me right here. Laughed so hard I cried in the theater on opening night.
Profound impact on my life, no joke. Even wound up marrying someone who looks like Lai (I tell you that's the perfect name for her, what, did she tell you we're smuggling people in containers?).
She was yummy.
Just the best movie. Fucks dudes up with bike pedals. Statham the god.
Yeah, that's why I was referencing more obscure stuff. Superman is pop culture legend, Batman is pop culture legend, the rest occupies some weird nerdverse that has somehow broken free of its ghetto and rampaged through the rest of pop culture today =/
Yeah, I just wish Cameron would go back to making more Cameron like movies. I just want to travel back to 1992 and get Cameron to make a Terminator vs RoboCop movie featuring Arnold Terminator vs Weller RoboCop.
The air vent with Dallas?
I actually think Isolation is best played on easy mode, to be honest. On the harder modes the Alien AI gets a bit bullshit and it sours the enjoyment a little.

I loved Transporter. All 3 of them. Have you seen the TV Series on TNT? I tried watching a few episodes but it is too cheesy and needs Statham.

Alien Trilogy is a pretty gud and scary alien game, all the old ass doom mechanics, weird sprites, and rejiggering of levels and events to make it all fit is pretty surreal 8)
Agreed, man. I watched most of the episodes but the entire time I sat there shouting I KNEW FRANK MARTIN, YOU'RE NO FRANK MARTIN.
All 3 are personal guilty pleasures of mine -- including specifically arranging a college carpool for the 2nd one to be with the guy driving an Audi, just to be in theme with the movie -- but Transporter 1 is god-tier for me. I must have seen the movie 50 times.
There's just so much to laugh at. The bad guy's name is Wall Street. WALL STREET.

They should have picked that bald dude in Blade 2 and a ton of cheesy direct to dvd action movies. TNT guy is too much of a departure from Statham.
