Time for some controversy. I love Alien 3. I hold a huge soft spot for it as my parents let me rent the VHS for my birthday in 1993 (came out on VHS in the UK Jan of ‘93)

I was 11 and my friends came round for food and to watch it, little did I know their parents didn’t let them watch any 18 movies so one friend cried and another threw up and another had nightmares for weeks.

By that age I was already knees deep in Manga, Anime, Horror, SciFi etc. so it was the best thing and I was super excited to watch it.

Well colour me super happy to find out that on HBO max USA they have Alien 3 Assembly Cut (added yesterday). So with a bit of VPN action and my HBO Sub I can watch it.

I knew this wasn't going to be the slightest bit enjoyable so I wanted to get it out of the way.

To attempt to cleanse my virgin eyes, I chose literally the furthest thing I had within reach to watch next.

I liked Alien 3 as well. You might be interested in Alien 3 Legacy Cut by Project A34K...

Yep, just got the 50GB version of Legacy Cut. Off to watch that in a minute.

I wish Disney/Fox would do an official 4K release and make the Legacy Cut legitimate along with Theatrical and Assembly cut. Fox already released the Print Work version as part of the Anthology box set.

Sorry... I follow the Dark Horse Comics chronology where Newt and Hicks survive the beginning of the movie or will stick to the original draft. The movie franchise is dead to me after the second one. The TV show was okay though.

I guess I have a soft spot for Alien 3 because I saw the promotion poster in an underground movie theatre on 51st in Manhattan while on a field trip for a college architecture class. I was more happy to finally see the xenomorph in action. How they captured its speed. The whole cast was fine and the music during the final scene stuck with me.
 


I just came across this on my side videos from Youtube. Have you guys seen this movie before? Hope I don't have bad dreams from this. I will never live near the ocean like that.

I did watch the whole movie some years back, what a harrowing experience for the people that lived through the tsunami of 2004.
 
Finally got around to watching Weapons despite owning the 4K since it came out. Definitely a movie where you kind of want to throw in the towel half way through but it rewards you for sticking it out. Not sure it warranted all the hype but still a very good piece of horror.
