This is a reminder that Sigourney Weaver lost the Oscar for best actress in 1986 to Marlee Matlin in Children of a Lesser God.
That's right Aliens Ripley lost to a romance lead as a deaf student who fucks her teacher.

Marlee is my deaf fu. Woman is smoking hot.
>implying anyone has actually watched Children of a Lesser God
If you haven't watched it you can't have an opinion about it and no one here has so this thread is fucking stupid.

The oscars for 86 were given in 87. they are always given the next year. The oscars that were several months ago was for the movies released in 2016.
sucks to lose to oscar bait but desu you don't deserve an oscar for being in an action movie where you're little more than a model for the director to move through his setpieces, her performance was better in the first movie.
but why bother getting mad about oscars? they have been shit since the very first oscars when Sunrise a Song of Two Humans tied with some shitty romantic comedy.
we all pretty much know the oscars are bullshit, they are a party night for the industry elite paid for by dress sponsors and car advertisements, it's never really been about art.

Aliens was the capeshit of its time so I have no problem with this

>Aliens was the capeshit of its time
I highly doubt that all these cape movies will be as respected in 30 years as Alien and Aliens are.

Some will. Iron Man, Raimi's first Spider-Man.
Also,

The capeshit of the 80s was the actual capeshit in the 80s.
>Supergirl
>Howard the Duck
>Superman II, III, IV
>Incredible Hulk Returns, Trial, Death
>Batman
>Toxic Avenger I, II, III
>The Punisher
>etc
Capeshit isn't nearly as new as people like to pretend.
>>83432821
The movie isn't great but it's better than that terrible fucking trailer.
>>83433688
i dont think you can compare toxic avenger to todays big budget cape movies
>>83433688
We've had that many comic book films in the last year alone.
