Came out two years later.

I saw Aliens before Alien and I’ve always regretted that.

Aliens is fine but can't compare to the original.

I get why you think that. It's not an absurd opinion.

Aliens shares a lot of aesthetics and sensibilities with video games. Modern video games owe a lot to the film. I think it makes sense that gamers would be more attractived to Aliens.

I play a shitload of video games and have no idea what parallel you're trying to draw here.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Occasionally? But I don’t know what that has to do with anything? Seems like a bizarre takeaway from Aliens. The movie has always been popular, way before any video games it inspired came out.

I think you're overthinking what I'm saying. They scratch the same itch, is all.

Murder On The Orient Express.

What a visual joy. Its so cool they made a big budget movie without fucking SW or Marvel characters. The production design is glorious, the costumes, the camera work...everything is so tasteful.

I wouldn't call $55 million "big budget."
