I know Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but can Aliens please become the new Mothers Day movie? Happy UK Mothers Day to all the British Ripleys out there😁

You're looking at a movie poster for Aliens, possibly the best movie of all time. Hey I'm biased. Or maybe that could be Alien. Don't watch any of the others. They're the devil's undergusset. Anyway, the picture shows a kickass tall white woman with a huge gun, and eighties perm that says "Don't fuck with mom", holding a small child. She's surrounded by xenomorph eggs but you just know she'd gonna mess them up. Because she's Ripley. That is all.

"Die Hard" is not a Christmas film, it just happens to take place near Christmas. I'm going to watch "Alien" again with your interpretation in mind, because I'm pretty sure you're right.

I know this post is a bit belated, but I was basking in Aliens glory and lost track of time! 😊

Absolutely. Great Mother's Day film! And this was such an incredible film to end the franchise on. I'm a little sad that they didn't make any further films, but at least they ended it with a bang.
