    She has the most iconic line from my youth.

    I got gifted a 4K Blu-ray player for Christmas. Immediately bought Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) then sat down with my older kids to watch it with popcorn etc.

    There was such a buzz in the room when she delivered that line.

    Have to recommend the 4K Blu-ray experience if you’re a fan. The detail honestly shocked me.

    Edit:

    I mean next to Ripley, the android and the little girl, she’s the most memorable character in that movie.

    The casting is great.

    I think Paul Riser did a great job as the slimy company man Burke. He was very believable.

    Michael Bien was great as Hudson Hicks too. The exchange between himself, Ripley and Burke about nuking the site was great.

      I recall an interview in which Paul Reiser said his mom was cheering his on screen death at the premier

      My friends think I’m crazy that I still buy blu-rays sometimes (including 4k), but for some movies, on an OLED screen… it’s just next level.

      The new Dune films, for example…

        I honestly have been blown away by how cinematic the 4K Blu-ray experience is. The new Dune ones are on the list to get. I’d say they’re great. Lord of the rings too.

        I’m up to 7 in my collection now and definitely will be continuing to add to it.

        No OLED here yet but next TV I will definitely pony up the extra for it.

          Do it… I might even say that I’d rather watch a regular blu-ray on OLED, than a 4k on LCD… but that might be a stretch. Once you get OLED though, it’s hard to go back.

          I only have a few 4k, most of my blu-rays are regular (I’ve been collecting Criterion Collection films. Criterion blu-rays used to go on sale regularly for under $20 on Amazon until recently).

          I do have the Criterion Collection Citizen Kane 4k blu-ray (sounds kind of silly, I know, but it was on sale and man it looks outstanding).
