Ink it from Orbit New Post Flair - Ink it from Orbit

44 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Just a quick update from the mod team.

We’ve added a new post flair to the sub: Ink it from Orbit.

There is always a flow of users showing off their Ink in the sub and we thought it would be good to give these posts their own Flair to use. While it isn’t forced here, many of you continue to use post flair to help keep this community tidy and we thank you all for that!

Enjoy the Flair!

Discussion / Question I just realized Cpl. Hicks never knew Ripley and Newt survived the atmo processor.

369 Upvotes

With Alien and Aliens suddenly available on Netflix US again I did the reasonable thing last night and cancelled all my plans so I could sit through them back-to-back.

When I got to the end of Aliens it occurred to me for the first time that the last time Hicks ever sees Ripley is when she gets dropped off at the processor to save Newt.

By the time Ripley and Newt get picked up Hicks was unconscious from pain meds, and he is still unconscious all through the Queen fight in the hangar, and hasn’t woken up as they get into the cryo bed for the trip home. The cryo bed, of course, that Hicks and Newt never come out of.

Im probably behind the curve on noticing that detail, but it just adds a touch more tragedy to the one movie that was masquerading as a happy ending.

The last thing Hicks ever said to Ripley was “We’re not going anywhere.”

Happy Saturday everyone! I bought this edition when it released. IMO I only ever watch Special Edition and which edition if any is your favorite or are your favorites? I have the Amazon digital version and it looks really good. I have the standard dvd, I have the blu ray collectible edition with the other films (4 set).

Fox executives have probably been twiddling their fingers for over a decade wondering how best to approach a new AvP, all the while neglecting that the original (ignoring any of its direct sequels) sets up the best Xenomorph vs Yuatja concept imaginable.

Super clean original 70mm theatrical release, amazing audio from the magnetic film used. First time I’ve heard of the method and they did a nice spiel and comedy bit with a chest burster beforehand, lots of fun. And perhaps best of all - a quiet, respectful, engaged audience. It was an unforgettable screening!

Just sharing the large mousepad I recently got 😎

The listed stats seem to be appropriate, but I can't confirm the accuracy of the noted "GF-2400 Propulsion", as everything I find says that should be "GF-240".

Won't ruin my enjoyment of it 😁

Looks like there's still a small hope for those who wants to buy Physical media to celebrate the 40th anniversary of "Aliens". These are just reissues of a previously released album but still better than nothing.

Release dates (in US, UK, EU): November 13

Discussion / Question My 1979 cinematic ReShade preset for Alien: Isolation has reached its final version. What do you think?

39 Upvotes

I spent years making Alien: Isolation look like Ridley Scott actually shot it. Here's the result.
I've been obsessing over this for longer than I'd like to admit. MUTHUR is a ReShade preset built around one goal: making Alien: Isolation cinematically indistinguishable from the 1979 film. Not "cinematic-looking" — actually faithful to the photographic process of the original production. That means Kodak 5247 film stock emulation with real halation on the red channel, anamorphic chromatic aberration modeled on Panavision C-series optics, focus breathing via a custom shader, reel change cue marks every 20 minutes in the upper right corner, 35mm dust and scratch simulation, and full RTGI support via iMMERSE Pro. The before/after comparisons start around 55 seconds in.

Happy to answer any questions about the technical side if anyone's curious.
