I already said,..."Did IQs suddenly go down...? I already said, they were not indiginous..." The chilling words of Ripley prior to the realization that colonists had been sent to alien slaughter.

Hopefully it’ll be post-worthy. <br /><br />Paul – That is by far the best, and creepiest, line of the entire movie. <br /><br />MJ – That’s awesome. Ripley is such a badass. She’s definitely one of my idols.<br /><br />Rusty – Well said. Very well said. <br /><br />Mina – Me too. I wind up covering my eyes for half the film even though I’ve seen it hundreds of time. <br /><br />Chris – I’ve never thought about it before, but you know, you’re absolutely right! That makes it doubly creepy. <br /><br />Madeline – I couldn’t agree more. <br /><br />Nate – Taken really was amazing. One of those few shows that no one ever saw, but everyone should. <br /><br />Joshua – I just rewatched them a few days ago. It was awesome!<br /><br />Alex – Well, Cameron is a genius. Aliens was, if possible, a step up from Alien.S. L.
