I think he got roughed up/ knocked around more in the tunnels than she did, which gave him a much dirtier look. Just caught this on Tubi, and thought it was a really satisfying watch…even though I might not have completely understood all of the details. The way I absorbed it is that both were abducted as he was attacking her. It didn’t even occur to me that there was an alien element to it until she bumped into her attacker in the tunnels as well. I think that she may have been fatally wounded in the attack, but was still alive when they were abducted. There was an alien in the tunnels that would heal her when she got wounded, but the interesting detail about that alien is that it produced a needle when she was about to give up, and then simply healed her when she changed her mind. I suppose it’s possible that she was in an emergency room while she was imaging the whole scenario, but I personally think it was an abduction with a scenario created by the aliens. I think it was the aliens testing her will to live. Yeah, I’m in the USA. Apparently, it’s also available on Amazon Prime here too, but I didn’t know that before I committed to watching it on Tubi. Just caught this on Tubi, and agree that the 1997 original is much better. It was cool to check this out, but the character interactions, solutions, and traps simply felt more organic and engrossing in the original. Glad I caught it on Tubi before committing to a blind buy on bluray. I can’t help myself when it comes to Alien movies, so I’ll probably catch this at the theater, but I have liked the director’s other movies, so I do have a little faith that it can be at the very least entertaining. There are some really attractive physical releases for blu rays and 4Ks out there, but you typically have to jump online to even be aware of most of it. With the limited selection that’s even available in stores like Target, Walmart, FYE, and previously Best Buy, I stopped bothering to look for physical movies in those places; and have long gone online to buy what I wanted. IMO, it’s actually a great time to be a movie collector, since so many new and classic movies are still consistently getting great releases on blu ray/4K. It’s just that it’s a ton easier to purchase those releases online. I’d suggest checking out Blu-Ray.com. There’s practically daily news there on new releases (and where and how to get them); a vast database of what’s available on physical platforms; awareness when certain releases go on sale; and a huge forum of tens of thousands of members just shooting the shit informatively and fanatically about movies of all eras. Hehe…when did the word “chicanery” become popular again? I’ve been hearing that word used comedically for decades, so it’s hard for me to take anyone seriously when they use it. Nancy had an opinion once, and it didn’t change who the president was. Just like Jowilli had an opinion once, and it didn’t change who the president was. You can hate it, but it is what it is. Trump was President, and then he lost a chance at a 2nd term (just like Bush)….and now he’s running for another term to deflect attention from the deep shit legal problems he’s in. But why would Trump be “afraid” that Republican votes would be “lost or misplaced”? - Because he fucking lost, and knew that he would. Reagan and Bush Jr. spent 8 years in office without such fears. In fact, Trump is the only president in the history of this country that’s been “afraid” (or self-interested) enough to bitch about it enough to try to keep himself out of jail. Truly embarrassing shit. Is this really still a thing? Trump told his fan base to vote in person - so they did- with the knowledge that they would count the mail-in votes afterwards. The mail-in votes that were being counted were being counted in the middle of the night. That’s the way it has always been done - it wasn’t any different in 2016. Trump knew this, so he declared a win before he won it….because he had already been talking for years that if he didn’t win it, it was stolen, and he had already indoctrinated enough people into believing it. Trump is like that kid that’s been caught dead to rights in a lie, but will ALWAYS deny it. He’s like the most obvious liar. View all replies >
