Wow like on a growing number of movies you've reviewed i guess we have to dissagree on the specifics of this rerelese:

The added scene at the end, while yes a bit unfinished, totally brought in the idea of cocooning the victims for more facehuggers. Before Aliens (James Cameron) we hadnt seen this before. It explains alot of the aliens nature and how the cycle continues. I enjoyed it.

The scene where Harry Stanton gets it (i think were talking about the same scene, the one with the chains right?) where it shows the alien hanging in the chains for a split second. I absolutly loved this scene, i mean the forshadowing with him going off by himself looking for the cat, i mean come on. Everyone already knows hes gonna get it, its not like showing the alien hanging there is gonna give it away, everyone already knows, even if they havent seen it. On top of that its so still that you can barely notice it, it took me a good second to determine the aliens shape out of the dark set, as it hung in the chains. If theyr was a reason to go see it again, in the theater i think this would be it. Looking fucking awsome. And correct me if im wrong but after that scene where the rest of the crew looks up to see what happened to him, wasnt this scene longer? I do remember them looking up after him and water dripping down, but i dont remember blood starting to drip down after that.

Anyway, we dissagree again. But we do agree that this is a classic movie that everyone will should see in the theater but probably wont. Theyr busy seeing the TCM remake.:rolleyes:
