:evil: Late october :evil:

Why do the asian and south american regions get it before us ?

You release it in SE asia and the next day you'll be able to down 10 cams of it...

What i'm actually asking is : "why don't all flicks get a simultaneous worldwide release ?"

For it damn well IS achievable....

money reasons i expect, if a film fails to make enough in america then probably wont make it over here, or if it does the amount of cinemas showing it will be reduced

that's odd. I thought all the Alien</i> movies raked it in Europe, even the two that tanked in the US.

edit: also cuz the movie houses don't keep the reels. so the studios can reuse them in other regions with a staggered worldwide release.

I was SOO hoping 'Alien4' was gonna be a descent movie & start out w/ Ripley waking up cause something going wrong on the ship & find out 'Alien³' was "Just a dream".

:lol:

too true. too true. that was not a good idea. remined me of the guy in the suit at the end of Alien, except 10x the cheese factor at a point in time where make-up artestry and CGI are 10x better.


...although if they give birth and look like that, then maybe they have bone-structure as opposed to the exoskeleton-thingies that we learn about in HS biology with grasshoppers. suddenly the skull in Predator 2 isn't so anamolous. See? got us back in Pred-Alien mythology. snoogins.

huh??? we never learnt anything things like that in my school although that may be because i was forever not paying attention as a really hot bird i had a crush on sat right opposite me, and the fact that joseph (who i sat next to) and me were forever listening to motorhead and black sabbath in our walkmans instead of paying attention to anything mr batty (yes that was his name) was saying :lol:

Really? Cause I agree w/ d0c in that 3 was better, overall that is. I have yet to see the DC version of 3. Was there one for 4 also?

Or you could do what I do & not care WTF people you don't even know think of you. I know I don't. Hey, if people don't like me, they can go 'Suck on a Turd'!!!

Anyways, everything for AvP looks good so far except the teaser. I thought that was just effortless. I wonder if they're gonna adapt an idea from the AvP PC game? :twisted: If you're not sure what I mean, think Alien, w/ jowls. :mrgreen:

That's just wrong. :o Alien3 and 4 maybe, but 2 is wicked cool.

I've seen Alien and Alien:DC @ cinema if anyone cares. Was underaged for most of them though, so I couldn't see Alien3 or Aliens :(
