50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 15. Aliens - Game Over, Man: The Pre-Game

Aliens

YouTube - Colonial Marines Prep Before Drop

Aliens was one of first favorite movies ever. I loved everything from the creatures themselves to the film's setting to all the humans raging from heroine Ripley, child Newt, Company Man but rat-fuck son-of-a-bitch Burke, new Lieutenant Gnorman, Sergeant Apone, clown Hudson or is it Hicks, and the rest of the marines. This scene is my favorite, the score does a ton of work admittedly, as does Apone. "Absolutely Badasses!" James Cameron, the bravest pioneer, sounds like had a hell of a time making the movie in the UK. Protests and firings were big issues onset. But Cameron left the franchise on top, on par or very close to the original. Alien 3 on the other hand was one of the most disappointing things I have ever watched in my life. I never wanted to turn a movie off after 30 seconds before.

I think any of the scenes with the marines are rewatchable. I realize I'm going on a wild tagent by posting all these scenes, but I love it all and it's all worth it.

And Ripley really is the greatest character, another awful thing that Alien 3 was to kill her off as well.

She is as vicious to Carter Burke when she finds out what he's up as she is to the Alien Queen herself.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices...

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o...
