Aliens was on TV

Whilst trying to find something marginally interesting to watch, the other
night, I happened upon As:SE (sic) being shown, so I sat down and watched
it for about 15min. It was the stretch from when they had first landed on
LV-426, up until they found Newt.

It struck me how wooden most of the acting was, which was something I had
not noticed before. I hasten to add this was with the exception of SW, who
was fine. The movie is also starting to look a bit dated... I can't put my
finger on what it is: I don't mean the hairstyles or computer graphics or
anything like that (similarly-but-more- dated elements of Alien don't
bother me at all), it just *really* seems like a 1980s movie.

Also: was Ripley's slight hesitation before entiring the colony buildings
for the first time in the cinematic release? Or was that one of the
additions for the SE? I can't recall noticing it before.

PS: to tie this to the "Old members..." thread. Yes Keith - if you're out
there - I was drunk ;-)

I believe it was the SE version.
You had the APC pulling up, Gorman talking to Hudson about the CPU,
Bishop climbing out the side door and Hicks with the 'you ok?'

Might be because (and Cameron has admitted this himself) that the film
has a 'grainy' texture to the picture. Although, it has never bothered
me. It's a timeless classic IMO.
