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!

I was clicking back and forth between the two movies.

I caught a common theme, anyone else catch it? Or care enough to think about it?

Back to School?

As in the Rodney Dangerfield movie? :?

Stumped me on this one- mind you I haven't seen Back to School in decades. :wink:

OK, not a hot thread. I was clicking back and forth and coincidentally both "inspirational" speeches were on at the same time. Both using the Dylan Thomas poem, "Do not go gentle into that good night" to portray a hopeless situation against insurmountable odds.

And of course, the ultimate pep rally from our cousins across the pond

Speaking as a Brit.... you can't beat Shakespeare for an inspirational speech.... Watch Branagh Henry V it much better than the Oliver version of Henry V....

much prefered the rodney dangerfield speech , to the ID4 speech, because Dangerfiled's speech was supposed to make laugh....
The speech in ID4 make me cringe.... :twisted:

anyone spot a young Christan Bale in the Henry V clip?...
