Well, Markus, you got me on that. True, I remember now. BUT! Ash
desperately wanted to get Alien to Earth. That was his "prime
directive", so he'd not loose anything by trying to discourage the crew
from destroying the Alien, the best way of which is to sell the idea of
"indestructable" quality.

However, it might be considered a fine example of overexplanation on my
part. If the movie - any movie - requires this much technical
afterthought, there must be something wrong. So, again, you are right.
However, I still love Aliens & HATE Alien 3.

Take care

Thank you.  There was some small risk I might have happened to have
picked up a copy of "Sphere" and read it, and then I would have been
obliged to hunt Mr. Crighton down and kill him.  I *HATE*  "Ha ha,

I don't what the differences between the US and UK versions of T2 were but both
the Theatre and VHS Video releases in the UK were 15 cert. The only redeeming
feature is the recently released PAL LD is the full US version (it has a 18
cert) and is in LB.

______________________________________________________________________________




Let's get back on track for a minute. The topic is GREAT SCI-FI BOOKS THAT
WOULD MAKE GREAT MOVIES. 

Everybody's forgotten the classics.

Hienlien's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" or "Starship Trooper" have
potenial as does "Stranger In A Strange Land" if they could get it past
the Bible thumpers and keep De Lorenta away from it.  

Asimov's "Caves of Steel" would be excellent.  Casting  Brent Spiner 
(Star Trek's Data) as Daneel Obivjaw (spelling?) against Danny Glover 
as Lije would be brilliant.  Harrison Ford would be okay too. Bonus
sequel potential with rest of trilogy.

Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat series could be fun with right 
casting (sugestions anyone?).

"Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming" (sorry I've forgotten the authors)
gets my approval.  I see it as a Black Adder cast project (they can fight
over the parts - Frike should be Atkinson or Robbins ).


Now back to the qustion at hand. The Russian Sleigh (read : SLAY!).  And
the answer is me. 'Cause I'd have to be tied up to get in that situation
and wouldn't be able to toss the others out.

Would you please be more specific and write what they did?

But it is sure that ray-tracing was not used;
there's no need to ray-trace the Alien.
Ray-tracing is slow to compute, and there's no effects which
are not able to make with more faster algorithms.
Becides, I didn't see even a single glass ball anywhere :-)

Most used methods are z-buffer based rendering algorithms; they are
fast enough to render at reasonable time.

Hmm... I have Cinefex story for Alien 3, but have not yet read it,
even I have had the magazine months. Guess, I waited to see the movie
first. 
Are stories as good in Cinefantastique?

It's nice that you're so confident about it, but unfortunately you're
also wrong.  The film's computer-generated and computer-enhanced Alien
effects, as created by Richard Edlund, are mentioned in the 'Alien3'
feature in the June 1992 Cinefantastique.

I actually think that Predator is his best SF movie. T1/T2 are very good,
hardcore SF movies, but Predator, with its jungle setting and limited use
of FX relied more heavily on the abilities of all actors. Schwarzenegger
did a great job in that one.

Or maybe it's just much easier NOT to include any FX for scorchmarks on the
armor of mass-killed expendable imperial marines. Keep in mind that the blaster
bolts are drawn into the scene long after it has been shot.
If you want to be technical: Maybe they kill by shock. Modern high-velocity
bullets kill people by shock without even touching them

Agreed. What I mean is just that if the  "Light at the end of the ship"
has got anything to do with the propulsion of the ship, it should change
somehow when the ship changes the use of its propulsion system and it should
shut down when the ship is still or in an orbit. (Eg the Cygnus in "The Black
