i think i am watching the directors cut. of sort- I watched Alien last weekend and it was fucking badass. I have Aliens special edition here that I borrowed from my roommates' Aliens Legacy 4-dvd pack. Haven't had a chance to pop it in though, too much BC2, Borderlands, and this book called The Black Company.
But the fact that I actually have it out to watch and will watch it in under a week is a big deal for me. I never fucking watch movies. But Alien was worth the time investment, so I will definitely be finishing the series.
then i'm going to play Alien Swarm again on INSANE MODE and get father than mission 2 this time.
I'm not certain, but I think you have to watch "The director's cut" in order to get all the cool shit they left out of the original. As in the sentry guns and other bad ass stuff that had no business being cut from the original. I think the best way to find out is the running time length. From word of mouth a guy told me they used to try to cut down movies to close to an hr for no specific reason back then.
The legacy 4-pack is the same one I bought, and includes both versions of all movies. It's definately worth watching the directors cut, espically for the 2nd movie, and adds a little to the 3rd.
As a warning, the 1st movie is good, the 2nd is friggen action/horror genious. Don't expect the 3rd to be anything like the 2nd...it's taken me awhile to gain an appreciation for it. The 4th is....well, it's got some cool parts.
On the plus side the couple Alien vs Predator movies (AvP and AvP: Requiem) give some more alien goodness to a greater or lessor extent.
