01/20/03 - Ok, it's been a long time since I updated. First off, I lost everything that I wrote up on my old harddrive, I had to look for a new ftp program, and I got lots of school work to do. Good thing I had backups, not like this site is much to look at, but I feel I gotta keep updating it anyway. There is gonna be a part 5! I just know it! Ok, I'll try to do what I can and for those of you who actually keep coming to this site, well keep coming! I have to update a few links on the links page cuz some sites had a change of addresses. Well keep checking back, laterz.
09/01/02 - Posted some things on the message board. Someone start up a new discussion or something, thats what its there for. I'll be going up to Oregon on the 20th. I'll try to update while I'm there. Since I'll be up there, hopefully I'll meet more alien freaks up there. That'd be kool. Laterz for now.
08/20/02 - Ok, worked on a file for the weapons section. Added two new links in the links section. Check out those links, they're two great sites. Starting to work on the site a little more. Theres so much to be done before I go up for school. So yea, expect to see more updates. Laterz., oh yea, before I forget, watch XXX, tell me if its Lt. Gorman or not in there.
08/18/02 - I watched XXX today, well actually yesterday, SATURDAY. In the beginning guess who I saw?
Lieutenant W. Gorman. I swear dude, that was him, William Hope is his real name. I checked on IMDB.com to check if it was him, but he wasnt in the credits. Anybody saw the movie? That had to be him, I mean, unless I'm seeing things, that was Gorman.
Oh, Matt Hoffman and Rick Throne were in there, I think I saw Tony Hawk in there too. But yea, all Aliens Fans, go watch XXX and tell me if that was Gorman or not, cuz yea, that was him.
08/17/02 - Ok, I was watching Resident Evil again. That movie is just great. Well, I think so. Alright for the quotes
Quotes
"Keep it tight" - Said by the Commander of the squad, James "One" Shade, reminds a lot of like Sgt. Apone. I think I explained this earlier, but just bringing it up just in case.
"You'll take care of it?" - Rain Ocampo(Michelle Rodriguez) said to Alice (Milla Jovovich) while she was being injected with the Anti-Virus. Rain doesnt want to be walking around without a soul, just like those things. This reminds me of a scene in Aliens where Ripley asks Hicks if it were ever to come down to that point where Hicks will do them both. Ripley asks, "You'll take care of it, wont you?" Then thats when Hicks taught her how to use a pulse rifle.
Influences
The Red Queen is a lot like the Father as in Alien Resurrection. Father is used to find a safe passageway, as the Red Queen is used to find a way to the surface.
Which brings on the next scene in RE. A safe passage way through the Utility Tunnels, which has water and heat pipes and all that sort. This reminds me of the underwater scene in Alien Resurrection, where they go through the bottom deck where the cooling tanks are leaking. And whats the same is that they are later attacked, which was supposed to be a 'safe' way.
The Umbrella Corp. is much like Weyland-Yutani. Everyone in that company is expendable, even its employers. They don't care who dies, as long as they get what they want. Comapanies like this think they own everything.
Birthdays
Ok, missed a few birthdays of the actors who were in Alien Resurrection. Happy Birthday to all of you!
One last note, I didnt even know it till now. Since 08/03/02, this site has been up for a year. So really its been up for a year and 15 days, and something hours. Hurray! One whole year, never thought itd be this long. Well, I'll try to update the other sections. Thats all for now. laterz.
07/22/02 - wow, ok more news on the AvP2 Primal hunt expansion set. Check out the link for more information
07/18/02 - ok havent updated in a really long time. A lot has happened since the last update. Well first off I finally graduated high school. I'm leaving for school in september to Oregon, but not sure the exact date. Alrite, now for some alien news. This is related to the AvP 2 game.
Paul Pawlicki, an assistant producer at Fox Interactive talks about the expansion pack AvP2 - Primal Hunt. Heres the link to read more about it.
04/07/02 - Just saw Resident Evil yesterday. What can I say, I really enjoyed it. Actually it was the best movies of the year...seriously. While watching it, I noticed lots of influences from ALIENS and some from ALIEN RESURRECTION.
First lets start with the Aliens influences:
- Characters Rain Ocampo (Michelle Rodriguez) and J.D. Salinas (Pasquale Aleardi) are much like J.Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) and M.Drake (Mark Rolston) because of their friendship and how they're both the tuffest on the team. Also, J.D. is the first one to go out, just like how it was with Drake.
- The medic (Liz May Brice) is a lot like Dietrich (Cynthia Dale Scott) well, because she is a medic who helps out the survivors they find and is one of the first to die.
- Chad Kaplan (Martin Crewes) the Electronics expert dude reminds me a lot of Hudson (Bill Paxton) because of his electronics expertise and his fear of whats going on, but wont give up without a fight.
- James "One" Shade (Colin Salmon), the one in charge, the commander is a lot like the one and only Sgt.Apone. "Keep it tight people."
- The two charcters credited as Commando 1 (Torsten Jerabeka) and Commando 2 (Marc Logan-Black) remind me of two characters in Aliens, Crowe (Tip Tipping) and Wierzbowski (Trevor Steedman) just because they dont really say much and die early.
- Milla Jovovich character, Alice reminded me a lot of Ripley because of how she pretty much lead the group after their leaders were killed in action and puts matters into her own hands. A great fighter and leader.
- Spencer Parks (James Purefoy) reminded me a lot of Carter Burke because of his deceitfulness.
- If I had to compare Matt (Eric Mabius) to someone, it would be Newt because he had family killed working for the Umbrella Coorporation and in Newts case, Weyland-Yutani.
- In Alien Resurrection, Ripley wakes up without remembering her past, but she slowy progresses by gaining her memory back, much like how Alice (Milla Jovovich) is, while traveling with the group. Then she can fight again and is a very big help for the group.
- The U.S.M Auriga is much like The Hive in Resident Evil. A science facility with illegal experiments going on and you know something bad is bound to happen. And when it does, everyone dies.
Lines used in Resident Evil:
- "Run a bypass"
- "Maybe you're reading it wrong"
- ok thats, all I remember, but I know there were more lines used from Aliens, or maybe its just coincidental. I'm gonna go watch it again. One NOTE: I might have gotten some of the characters mixed up, but hey, I just watched it yesterday...but let me know if I did, but I'm gonna watch it again anywayz. One more thing I would like to say is that Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez perfomances were great. I really loved it and the movie too, everyone did a great job. alright thats all for now, but keep checking back later...peece...
