My wish came true this holiday season with the release of Alien Quadrilogy. I watched Aliens last night and had a great time annoying my wife with my imitation of Private Hudson's famous 'Game over man, game over" line. In reviewing the script I found here it seems this classic line was just an ad lib for the script marker (hysterical).

The drop-ship skips again, like a stone, engulfed in flames...AND CRASHES INTO THE STATION. A TREMENDOUS FIREBALL. The remainder of the ground team watches their hopes of getting off the planet, and most of their superior fire power, reduced to flaming debris. There is a moment of stunned silence, then...Bill Paxton was a genius.HUDSON

Well that's great! That's just fucking great, man. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do, man? We're in some real pretty shit now!HICKS
Are you finished?
A funny side note related to this release is the frenzy of grammar geeks fuming over the choice of the word Quadrilogy instead of the more formal Tetralogy. I like the word Quadrilogy. I bet more folks understand what it means too.
