14. Movie watching rituals (Movies: Alien)
Basically, if you know of any rituals that you or your friends perform when
any one of the ALIEN movies is shown (ie: screaming things at the movie,
acting out different parts, etc...) then they belong in this section.
- When repeatedly watching this film with friends, we've only really evolved
one tradition when watching the film. When Burke has abandoned them, and
opens the door, just to see the alien there, hissing at him, it has become
somewhat traditional to shout "Let's eat Burke" repeatedly. Oh yeah, and
when Newt falls into the water, it's fairly obvious that you have to shout
"Behind you" fairly loudly, just like the scene in which Dallas 'gets it'
from the alien.
- ALIEN: deep, impressed silence.
ALIEN^3: loud, carthatic weeping.
- ALIENS: imitating Hudson's "Game over MAN, game over!" as he says it in
the movie. (and even when we're not watching the movie)
- leaping at the screen to get a four-inch-away view of the various types of
military hardware to get more details about function and what props are
made from (ie: the Flame units are slightly modified M-16 rifles)
- In Aliens, during Ripley's first nightmare at Gateway Station. When she
pulls back her shirt and sees the alien trying to poke through and then
wakes up in horror, one of us HAS to say, "Damn Tacos!"
- Counting the number of times "Hudson" is said over the course of "ALIENS".
- Yelling "Save Jones!" in ALIEN.
- Jumping out of the seat screaming "They're coming!!" during ALIEN^3 as
the Company ship approaches.
- 'Parotting' the word 'Right...' like Brett.
