Get over to Channel 4 HD or SD and watch Aliens, it's just started. One of the best sequels to a film I can remember.
It's a good film to go to bed on.

Probably as it was made in 1986 and is the sequel to Alien. I have seen it dozens of times, own it on VHS, twice on DVD and on blu-ray. I love it.

The reason being is that they have colonised LV-426 and found non of the alien lifeforms she describes. So at this point they think she is either making it up or a bit mad.
If I was you, I'd be getting rid of the earlier stuff and keep the Blu Ray one 
Thinking about it, this could be the forerunner to Prometheus really

I will eventually.
I will probably buy it again when it's released in 4K.

I would need to check on-line but I think it may be a similar timeframe, just a bit before.

Was looking at one today. Quite impressed with the quality. 55" and running demos of films and real life footage.

I've been informed Prometheus is before Alien
Yep, I've only seen Prometheus once and not really got it into my head about the timeframes yet, but a quick Googleoid and it confirms it.

Ah right, I've seen Prom (and as I've said before I'm not an avid film watcher) I've obviously got stuff mixed up

they are already down to ÂĢ2999 in John Lewis with 8 free films. But I will wait for a bit longer before getting one, probably when the sets costs around ÂĢ1500 which is about what I paid for my current set.

Maybe they are starting to discount a bit at some stores. It's a good thing. The sooner more people buy into the technology, the quicker the price reduces for everyone.

You're right
That line from Vasquez was brilliant

Damn, I was just about to write tat myself but was eating a toasted tea cake! One of my favourite lines.
I might go to bed and watch this, but then again, that's fatal for me

I'm going to go to bed to finish it off. I want to be in bed for when it all gets tasty.
Ok, night night EC

I can't say I have, but I read the Alien book when it first came out.
*EC goes to bookshelf to see where it is*

The book of the first film is good, the second is better though 
Read it just before the film came out, only time I've ever read a book in one sitting.

You can get the omnibus edition on amazon for less than 3 quid but I had to hunt for it, they don't make it easy for you.
Wish I still had my old copy to lend you

Prometheus is a loose prequel to Alien. It started out as an intended prequel but they felt a straight prequel would be a bit of a plot straight jacket.
