SPACE YEAR 2057
π¦ Aw shit hon, our holocube of Aliens (1986) oxidised right in the third MPU core
π oh no, can you just download us a copy?
π¦ sure lemme check the torrents
TWO HOURS LATER
π¦ Well I found the 2010's-era print that got turned teal 'cause that's what they were doing in 2010
π oh god yeah everything from then looked so weird and mossy
π¦ yeah, and then I found one from the 20's that was during that godawful uncanny valley AI phase so that's no good either
π yuck
π¦ I found one from the 2030's when they were doing the face swaps with living actors? Remember that? Some weird rights thing?
π haha oh wow yeah that's a blast from the past
π¦ and that one has a CRT filter too. Anyway 2040's edition brought back the film grain but, well, y'know the 40's and film grain
π oh yeah, MORE film grain
π¦ WAY TOO MUCH film grain, and the LCD filters yeah
π yeah
π¦ anyway I found one from the early 50's with tails, apart from that it's half decent quality
π well are the tails done tastefully at least or
π¦ I mean they changed a couple shots so the marines are using their tails to reload and apparently at some point Ripley goes "Thank God I have this big bushy squirrel tail" but apart from that
π huh that's actually pretty restrained compared with a lot of tail remasters
π¦ yeah this might be the best of the bunch, shall we give it a go
π sure I'll rehydrate us some popcorn
5 minutes later
ππ¦ FUCKING THEATRICAL CUT
@ifixcoinops oh hey I didn't know Aliens had a better cut. I heard Alien3 had a director's edition that was substantially better than the original release (which I didn't like)
