Remember before they started pushing the narrative that no women were ever starring in movies. Remember when we just watched movies like this because they were amazing.

One of my all time favorites. Perfect delivery. I laugh while tense every time.

I love this scene, I always say put her in charge Man

Faludi is so weak on making her argument and needs a man to help guide her through her argument. Paglia, on the other hand, is a true feminist who understands the strengths and weaknesses of each sex. Love Camille

3:10 - Homie actually includes Paglia-isms in his dry read through. _mmmokay??? arrright?_ XD

The leading feminist in the world telling a woman “we don’t give a shit what you think” seems about right

26:41 Poor Susan. Bless her heart.

Such a great scene and such a great movie

I hear Hudson is the most realistic of the Marines. But then again why wouldnt he be? You find out youre not the only life out there, and then you find out these creatures arent like any bugs youve ever fought. They think. Theyre smart. They can come from anywhere and everywhere. Damn near your whole crew is dead, your most experienced member is gone, youre left with 4 others from your crew and 3 civilians. One with more mettle but still. I think because we've seen so many horror and alien flicks we tend to forget that in that moment those people are probably thinking "Holy shit! Its a fucking alien and its coming to kill me!" I wont speak for veterans and actual soldiers, because i imagine their mindsets work on a different level than my dumbass, but still, youre only human. And lord knows what would happen if we really did meet aliens that wanted to murder us and harvest us.

Paglia remains undefeated

Most movies could do without the annoying loudmouth, but Aliens wouldn’t be as good without the annoying loudmouth. I guess in this case, you couldn’t blame him, you know you would be the same way in that situation.

“They’re gonna come in here & they’re gonna come in here & they’re gonna get us!”

I always enjoyed the "I don't wanna rain on your parade" part of this interaction. even though the "put her in charge is very remember able"

One best lines in movie history

Hudson falling apart is Paxton’s finest work.

F hilarious!!

I thinks that the film holds up better nearly 40 years later than their vapid, shortsighted review. It amazes me looking at this years later how “full of themselves” Siskel and Elbert are, while accusing Sting of the same.

This is my Mom and I am 14 now

I’d like to think I’d react like Ripley or Hicks in a situation like this. But I’m pretty sure I’d be Hudson.

His delivery is brilliant

To all those people that keep saying that Ripley is normal and average: She is phisically pretty strong (she's taller than most of the military men there and she can bring Newt in her arm, all the while running and shooting with a flame thrower in the other). She is intelligent and super fast in her learning and she's really good at problem solving. Plus she has the benefit to have really good mechanical and technical skills. Let's not forget that she even has the mental strength and cunning of a natural born leader, in fact most of the time she IS NOT terrified at all and prefer to put up some plan giving specific orders to everyone. Definetely not the average person AT ALL.

You talkin bout a marine losing it.. Hudson is gone!😂😂😂😂

Ellen Ripley was never, ever wOkE.

My boys are 11 & 13 and I can't express how much I love letting them watch 80's action films

“Why don’t you put her in charge?” The delivery of that line is so great, it’s actually incredible, and reminds me of all the terrible bad acting we see now, due to the proliferation of so many streaming services and shows, that talent is spread out and diluted.

i read that Cameron always felt bad about how he portrayed the marines in this film- I can only say there is always one of these in every outfit.

Facts 💯

This was my favorite film as a kid and then later in college I studied this film to study extensively and in-depth for a class. This is probably my favorite scene. Hudson’s panicking while drenched in cold sweat, eyes constantly scanning the room for answers. Only to be put in check-NOT BY HIS COMMANDING OFFICER- but by Ellen, who is remaining calculated and focused, this is the scene her character really changes into the leadership role

Bill Paxton was the best actor next to Signorney in this movie.

Pvt. Vasquez!!!

Back when James Cameron could actually write dialog.

Gotta love Hudson. One of the best parts in one of the greatest action movies of all time. Got all the best lines and went out like an absolute unit. RIP Bill Paxton.

No criss no water put in her in charge

One of the funniest lines in movie history in my opinion 🤣 Paxton had the best lines in the entire movie!!!

Bill Paxton played the "audience member" in this movie.. deserved an Oscar for this performance...

incredible scene.. why don't you put her in charge.. fantastic movie

Somehow I remembered the ad as being more interesting at the time. Jump cut editing and action movies have spoiled us all.

Bill Paxton was so insanely funny in most of his movies R.I.P

Эта песня посвящена актрисе Наташе Лионн

This is the best fucking movie

Dude was so negative, should have given him code nickname Electron

I've been seeing this movie for 25 years, and I still laugh out loud when hearing Hudson's dialogue.

This will always be my favorite line from this classic, everytime i watch it, i laugh like it was the first time.

The best part about Hudson is that from certain clips you might guess he was a coward, but the character more than held his own in multiple situations.

Can anybody tell me where can I find the study mentioned here 28:34?

Why couldn't the album version be this punk!? That break down is hard yo! LOL

Thanks for uploading one of the better versions of this. Yours has great frame rate. Another one has cleaner audio, but this one is still good. Bookmarked!

Wow, that year he also had a small part on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. 😯

He is soo cute

It's "WHAT?!?!? You put HER in CHARGE ?!?!?
