Before we dock, i think we ought to discuss the bonus situation.

>>84466833
Right

>>84466833
Why did they sent on such important mission bunch of total idiots?

>>84467230
>literal tow job in space
>important mission

>>84467230
Weyland sent them on purpose to die so they wouldn't have to address the bonus situation. Were you even paying attention?

>>84467230
I would argue, nignog was probably the most sensible character in the movie.

>>84466833
"dock"

>>84467230
This isnt prometheus. They were literally space trashmen. Also why would they allow these scum to self destruct a ship?

>>84467230
The distress signal and recovery of an alien artefact was completely unexpected. They were on a transport mission towing minerals back to earth. They're literally space miners.

Upon discovering alien life, the team were forced to address the bonus situation, and Ash, following protocol, allowed the alien to get free and begin killing off the crew in order to stop them from uncovering the truth. Recovery of the alien lifeform was only a secondary objective -- his primary goal was to prevent discussion of the bonus situation and crash the Nostromo with no survivors.

It's an extension of the Prometheus Bonus Situation but now Yutani has given David a spaceship full of people popsicles for creating an army of Aliens to ensure the security of the Bonus Situation.

Reminder that Aliens is SJW reddit crap and Alien is a pure kino

>>84467779
Crazy how they got away with that line too.

>>84467295

Where does one even see this in the film? I rewatched the aliens special edition just the other day and you can't get a good look at any of the crew bios during the film. Is it promotional material?

>>84467675
>crewing huge expensive mineral ore transport ship
>"space trashmen"
>"space trucker"
Fucking revisionists.

>>84467295
they put them in cryosleep
then sent to a gigantic distance beyond our planet


yes, anything like that qualifies it as an important mission

>>84468839
You have no idea what qualifies as an important mission in that year.

>>84467870
but then why isn't it explained why the Weyland name comes first?

really makes you bonus

>>84468605

a Mack truck and trailer costs several hundred thousand dollars too and you give that to some redneck to drive it

>>84468765
read at the end

>Above was never acted upon due to employment discontinuity etc.

I think this was in the third movie.

post the gif

What are Weyland Industries tax policies?

>>84466833
I rather discuss the boner situation.

How hard you think your morning wood would be after getting out of cryosleep for 8 months?

>>84469652
One peep at Ripley's raging bush and I'd be rock hard.

>>84469652
valid question

>>84468803
They were basically blue collar workers though.

>>84468890
This. Could've just been standard procedure.

DISGUSTING HUMAN, THE BONUS SITUATION IS OF LITTLE CONCERN. WHEN SHALL WE INSTEAD DISCUSS THE WHEAT SITUATION???

>>84469082
They probably have tens of thousands of lawyers and accountants whose sole job function is the avoidance of taxes.

Parker: If they find what they're lookin' for out there, that mean we get full shares?
Ripley: Don't worry, Parker, yeah. You'll get whatever's coming to you.

what did she mean by this????

I suspect the penis would actually be highly recessed as a result of the change in blood pressure.

Dallas clarifies:

You get payed what you're contracted for.

You mean blue headband?

It truly was a great work of science fiction.

>>84470577
Back to /p*l/ with you

>>84468803
Doesn't really matter what the cargo is, you have truckers in real life towing cargo worth hundreds of thousands. But in the end of the day, they're still truckers.

I don't see why they need to be scientists to crew a mining ship. They all have their particular jobs they're good at and nothing more.

>>84470940
>Doesn't really matter what the cargo is

then what matters?

They need 1 scientist at least to do doctor stuff.

>>84468765
Nah this is in Aliens. They show profiles during the meeting Ripley has with the Weyland execs.
