i just watched aliens a few days ago. i had seen it before of course, but i probably hadn't given it a proper watch in ten years at least. it's pretty weird in that basically no one is strikingly beautiful in it. except maybe michael biehn. it's so great that people look normal in it. especially ripley, and not just that she's not beautiful but that she's not put on display. it's so wonderful. but sad that it's not like that anymore.
