I think I had prepared myself for the absolute worst (i.e. worse than the first) and when it wasn’t, it must have caused me to remember it favorably…

I think I got about half way through second time. utter fucking dogshit.

Low expectation was definitely a factor the first time I watched it. Mind you, after enjoying it the first time, I fully expected to hate it on a second viewing, so maybe expectations played a part there, too? Hehe.
Preordered the game today (for pc). :)

Re: Avatar in Chit-Chat

I had no idea they were doing a prequel! :-)~ With Ridley Scott! Squee!

Have you ever seen the directors cut of Alien 3? I think it is a much better version (some scenes are completely different).

I read that David Fincher became so sick of the studio’s over involvement that he no longer includes it on his bio, and washed his hands of it.

Yeah, the alternative cut is not even technically the director’s cut. Definitely a much better version, though.

I have to put my hand up and say that I actually quite like AvP2. Not a patch on the originals, of course, but so much better than avP1.
Talking of which, I’m also really looking forward to the new AvP game (from the makers of the origanal game; it’s not based on the films at all).
