I couldn't sit still for much of the third aliens movie, so I didn't know about
this last part. After seeing Starship Troopers I told the group who had seen it
with me (mostly guys) about the action movie rule that says female characters who
have sex must die. As I expected they hadn't heard about that rule before. And
here's another example.
I'll probably go see alien resurrection just out of love (OK, lust) for ripley.
I don't promise to sit through all of it, though.
