A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
In a way, it was the same movie. Except without the good parts.
Winona Ryder was a good part.
Winona was in Alien Resurrection (#4)
Alien cubed was the prison planet.
I liked Alien Resurrection unlike most people. Jean-Pierre Jeunet did something different and interesting.
I enjoyed it as a fun adventure with wacky characters but it had zero tension and the white skeletor alien looked stupid.
I also like Resurrection. The way they off the very last alien is awesome. Also, the crazy behind the back throw into the hoop in the basketball scene was unscripted. That shit just happened lol
I don't think it was unscripted, they intended to cgi it in, but she managed to make the shot.
I liked all the alien movies that didn’t involve predator. They’re all good and different, and comparing them with each other isn’t fair. Prometheus had that stupid running scene, but other than that was really good.
My only real issue with Prometheus and Covenant was that they removed a lot of the mystery which I felt made the whole thing much cooler. The Space Jockey was just a big white dude in a suit? The aliens aren't actually aliens at all, they're a combination of the goo that created life on Earth and an angry robot's genetic engineering experiments?
I don't know, it made the whole thing feel a lot smaller and more pedestrian.
I don't think we needed to know where they came from. It doesn't matter. Or at least it didn't used to matter. I wish Hollywood was satisfied with leaving mystery in things even if they're big movie franchises. Maybe it's okay if we never find out the face of the person sitting in Dr. Claw's chair.
I can see that. But I saw the “Engineer” as not a mastermind but just a grunt that deeply despised mankind and could just as easily be making all that up to F with Weyland.
Lol that's hilarious, I skipped right over 3.
Guess that proves everyone's point, huh.
Like most modern sequels
c'mon now... it ended.
I think this went over my head. Why is it common knowledge to you and assume others that alien has a value of 1? Tried googling it and coulldnt exclude results that weren't about outerspace aliens lol.
It's Alien singular and not Aliens? That's how I interpreted it
The sequel was Aliens, so I would say assuming the first one was singular makes sense to me.
Same.
The original movie had only one fully grown xenomorph, so in that regard you could argue that it’s 1. But what about all the other eggs seen in the background? Apparently they don’t count.
An egg isn't a chicken.
You need to consider units! 1m ≠1m³
So you're saying Alien is a measure of length and Alien³ is a measure of volume?
Americans will do anything but use the metric system.
Hey, if my Big Gulp doesn't come in Xenomorph ounces I don't want it.
Basically any unit can be squared, cubed or whatever, but the resulting unit doesn’t always make sense in the physical world.
For example, m/s^2 isn’t velocity. It’s acceleration. If you have a formula that gives you an answer in kg^3, you probably made a mistake somewhere.
What do you mean Alien has a value of 1? In Base26 it has a value of 674,116 and since it's set in the future i think it's reasonable that they use Base26.
Why not Base36? Or even Base62?
You're not wrong and the sky is the limit as long as we keep adding symbols!
Unless you take the “i” in Alien to be the imaginary number, then it’s -Alien
"Alien - Aliens - Alien"
Is actually profound poetry. It's been staring us in the face.
Godzilla -1
Or I suppose take the e in Alien to be that mathematical constant.
Is the first film, in part, an expression of the multiplication of the imaginary number by the mathematical constant? And if case, does n have to do with factorials?
I'm amazed I know this many mathematical terms considering how terrible at math I am.
How tf do you figure Alien has a value of one, because it was the first in the franchise? That doesn't mean it equals one. x = 1x
It is a single alien again. But a cubed alien could have some other characteristic that's been self-multiplies. It doesn't have to be the number. Could be size (not so here) or bad attitude.
Alien Wuornos

Alien
Square alien
Cube alien
This logic is 4fastfurious for me.
Your crew would push you in the back in that movie
If you assume that Alien is real, you can take a cube root of it, and get a single value. However, if we assume that Alien is complex, it will have three distinct values.
