These all came up in our live last week!  FYI my next poll will stray from the sci-fi in case it hasn't been your jam. November will be a fun mix!

I love Aliens. It is one of those sequels that almost transcends the original, but The Fifth Element is an experience that must be undertaken.

DJEAR

Agreed with Kevin.

Michael Cockrum

Oh, man, as much as I love Aliens, Seeing The Fifth Element...ahh!!!!!

Laro

Agreed with Kevin, also. Since it seems there has been lack of great wacky movies being produced in recent years. Besides: Starship Troopers, anybody?

You should really, really do both at some point! Aliens is a great movie, in a very different way from the first one, but I very much want to see your reaction to the Fifth Element! It’s such a great, unique, fun movie. Perfect balance of ridiculous cheese, classic scenery chewing by Gary Oldman, and Luc Besson at his best epic weirdness. Besides being just a cool movie worth seeing, it seems like something you’d really like.

Starship Troopers is a very different kind of great bad movie, haha. Just absolutely should not take it at face value pure action war movie (though it’s got plenty of that too). Have to watch it with the understanding that Verhoeven took a kind of harsh, rather jingoistic book (that I also grew up on loving for different reasons) and made it into a great satire of warmongering fascism. Not particularly book accurate, drops the powered armor that the book is most remembered for, but nails using it for a very different/subversive message. I’ve seen some great discussions of how even some of the casting and resulting… type of acting…was absolutely on point in service of the satire. Seems like there would be a lot for her to discuss/enjoy.

Aliens is just such a different type of movie, and I think it’s similarly influential to the first but in a different sub-genre.. with the first being more horror/suspense/thriller with maybe just a bit of Cosmic Horror (fear of unknown/unknowable), and the second being more military survival thriller. But Fifth Element all the way, so uniquely cool and seems like a perfect fit for her taste.

Exactly! That's what great artists can do ... adopt the material and create something better out of it, more meaningful. My guess is Shanelle would like that subversive touch too!
