The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Has anyone seen this? I just read about it over on the RPF. For those of you who don't know, Direct TV is just a cable supplier of sorts, and they take popular movies and slightly re-do them so that a pivitoal scene turns around a bit at the character starts talking about Direct TV.

Seems they took Aliens, and at the part where Ripley is battling the Queen, she instead shills.

Keep your eye open for this.

I've seen the Twister version as well as a few others, but no Aliens yet.

Thanks for the notice though, I'd heard nothing about this one.

Eyes peeled marines!!!

Yeah I'll have to keep my eyes open as well!

I've seen the Star Trek version (which is hilarious as Shatner rules!), and the Baywatch one has been playing a lot lately.

Thanks for the heads up DSB!

The Batwatch/Pam Anderson version is pretty nice, too bad it's 40% fake. :wink:

Over the years they've done MiniMe from Austin Powers, Kirk on the Enterprise and more.

Just saw it last night on USA network during "Burn Notice".

At first I saw Ripley in the exosuit, I figured it was just a commercial for USA showing Aliens. She even starts out with "Get away from her you..." and of course cuts away to a tangent. But the second I saw the close up of her face I noticed that besides her face being too clean... that and Ripley appears to be 20 years older... hmmm.

I saw it last night, then it was on about 5 times in 2 hours <lol>

Interesting how they put her head over the old film, it's well done though. I'm sure youtube will have it.

OK, youtube does not have it

What's the last thing she says before she smacks the queen with the power loader's arm?

My speakers can't make sense of it . . . or maybe those are my ears :)
