God dammit , cnet ' s website is a disgrace ! Other than that , looks like something that ' d be highly enjoyable with a bunch of mates , a big ol ' bowl of chips and a fuckton of beer <| sep |> Really reminds me of Joe Johnson , minus the post game . Looks like hell be a 20 ppg in not too long <| sep |> Joaquin Phoenix lookin ' ass <| sep |> If not the bungie store check out etsy . Lots of cool stuff <| sep |> I ' m in the same boat as you , saw Aliens first as a very young child . More or less grew up with it , and didn ' t see Alien until I was 12 or 13 . I ' m pretty sure I must have seen Alien 3 before I saw Alien , in fact , just by virtue of being alive and aware when it came out . Anyway , while I love all three of these movies , if someone asks me which one I want to watch , I ' m going to pick Aliens pretty much every time . I ' ve read so many internet debates on which is better and why , but at the end of the day I just have more fun watching Aliens . I appreciate everything Ridley Scott did , and while it ' s obviously very subjective , I believe Alien is probably the better film . I love the world building and attention to detail , but it ' s a horror film that I ' m just not particularly scared of . I think that just has to do with the fact that it was before my time , and I saw it at a relatively young age , before I could really engage with what was happening . With Aliens , I still get that sense of adventure and kick ass adrenaline rush when the marines land at the colony . I still root for Ripley and worry about getting off the planet in time . So it ' s a toss up , depending on what you ask for . Favorite doesn ' t always equal best , and in this case that ' s true for me . TL DR Alien is probably the better film . Aliens is definitely my favorite of the two .
