Hollywood need to get over 'Aliens', it was a great movie but aliens do not all have to be man-eating monsters with huge slimy teeth to be interesting. Read the book "Mote in Gods Eye" if you want to see how realistic aliens should be portrayed, however if they do make a movie out of that book I'm sure the moties will be popping out of peoples chests...

The whole point of the movie was to show that they were not like the typical alien that one would think of. They were an advanced race that had one thing in mind; to breed. That was their goal in the simplest form. The alien's were not man eating monsters, they were doing what they were designed to do, propagate their race.

Or they could read and adapt any number of Dark Horse comic books from the Alien franchise if they wanted a decent tale. "Berserker" would make a good movie, for example. Of course, this is the same advice a lot of people wanted George Lucas to take ("go use the comics. You own them, too, for crissakes!"), so I'm not holding my breath.

Not to mention that the whole series was meant to focus on the horror/action genre (where it overwhelmingly succeeded).

I hope you are reading more than just Niven and Poernelle. Perhaps you should suggest The Gods Themselves by Asimov, or The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Leguin to see how aliens really should be, although it could be argued that the aliens in TLHD were actually humans since they were but they are quite different from normal people. In fact the best science fiction is the science fiction ...

Oh..."The Mote in God's Eye." I have read that book twice a year for the last ten years, with no end in sight. It would made into a horrible movie. The only way to do it justice would be in a miniseries, but no one but the scifi channel would make it, and with their meager budget, it would ultimately fail. So sad.

Dugg for the Dark Horse Novel's nod. I read all those as a kid, and now a decade later I've moved into a new house with a roommate who has the entire collection sitting in the living room. Its funny talking about all this Aliens chatter on the interwebs b/c now i want to get all nerdy and read those novels again.

Nearly any Saberhagen Berserker novel would make a good movie, compared to the stuff Hollywood's been churning out. I need to find more of those books... damn you for reminding me!
