Female leads versus male leads, bruv bruv. 10 times out of 10 Jigs and Zombs will like it better.
speaking of female leads, ginny is the best in that series.
This is true.

Pam deserves more attention though.

The masterpiece that is Exorcist III. Probably my favorite George C Scott performance, even though he was nominated for a Razzie for it (not that I take them seriously, they're just a bunch of trolls).

Pretty sure Shudder has the theatrical, which is the one I'm used to anyway.

Still waiting for delivery of my 4k Monster Squad. Was hoping to watch that tonight, but that may have to be tomorrow night now. Fucking amazon driver's taking their sweet ass time all day with "out for delivery".

I think this might be Douriff's best performance too.

I saw it had its own disc and had no idea what the hell it was supposed to be. :P

I'm in the middle of Aliens for the first time in maybe 20 years. Uncertain which one I'll like more between the original and this one, but back in the day I barely preferred Aliens. Still close.

The actor who played Sean made the documentary. It's pretty good and was feeling like watching it again, so I was extra pleased to see it in the set.

Just realized there's now a differentiation between Exorcist III & the director's cut with the title. I always added "Legion" because I knew that's what Blatty wanted, it's the title of the book, was often used in general and was listed as an "alternative title" anyway (just like how I like using "Stirba: Werewolf Bitch" for Howling II instead of the awful "Your Sister Is A Werewolf"), but now i see at IMDB, the director's cut has its own page with "Legion" in the title, and the original cut is just simply "The Exorcist III" now.

I would've rewatched Monster Squad at least once more if it counted for the challenge.

Gonna probably watch Goonies that day too. I was much more aware of The Goonies and all the pop culture stuff than with Monster Squad. I was totally in the dark with that one. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy Monster Squad quite a bit more.

There's so much shit cooler about Aliens, like Bill Paxton and crew blowing shit up, but there's so much shit about Alien I like prefer, like the slow burn suspense and reveal. I have no idea which one I like better.

Watching the 2hr: 34m special edition of Aliens with about 40 minutes to go.

Duncan is an underrated Dracula. As is Tom Noonan as the Frankenstein monster.

I think I'm leaning Alien as Aliens comes to a close.
