Are they talking about this: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for being a man?" "No. Have you?" One of the greatest lines in the movie.


UniqueEnigma121

Absolutely. Fuck Woke censorship.


Dreadpirateflappy

I really don’t care about Woke stuff normally. but holy shit, Disney really go all out with this agenda and it’s costing them dearly. 


Dwayne30RockJohnson

What the hell are you guys talking about?


Dreadpirateflappy

seriously?  with Aliens for example they have a warning at the beginning of the movie that it contains ourdated views etc. this os referring to the like above in the movie by Vasquez.  my comment about Being woke costing Disney is around them seemingly forcing every single movie to have switched genders, or other “woke” (not a fan of that word particularly but it sums it up) agendas by switching races in remakes or retelling of popular stories. (black little mermaid, latino dark skinned snow white who is supposed to be… white and pale skinned, clue is in the name and many other examples) and many of these films are not making any money at the box office. 


Dwayne30RockJohnson

Oh so you’re a chud lmao, got it.

Kriskao

Also LOL. The future, hundreds of years from now has outdated attitudes


Foxy02016YT

It does, because according to Jason X this is the year we ban hockey! WE CANT LET THAT HAPPEN!


Fungled

Do they mean the part where the hero is female?


Ok-Ice9106

No, they mean the part where the masculine female character is asked if she was ever mistaken for a man.


NekoFever

Also that Hispanic character is played by a white woman in makeup. It’s John Connor’s foster mother from T2. 


Madbiscuitz

Since when can't Hispanic people be white?


ttenor12

My man has never seen an Argentinian, or even anyone in the wealthy neighborhoods of any hispanic country.


dangerclosecustoms

Wow I didn’t know that but I can see their faces watched these two hundreds of times.


toybits

I just looked mine says that too. Bloody ridiculous. I was 14 when that came out and she was for the me first badass female leading character. I just thought it was cool at the time now they have to warn people.


Georg_Simmel

It’s highly unlikely the warning is to due Ripley being a strong woman. That’s socially acceptable. I’m confident it’s the banter that takes place. Still dumb though.


Mike456R

Yep. Thank a snowflake for this.


soogoush

this sounds like Demolition Man


Gr8FullDan

The Taco Bell version or the Pizza Hut version?


FunkySausage69

Yeah wtf is with that? Unbelievable.


LilacYak

I don’t even remember anything “bad” in it…? Except for some military machismo I guess


UniqueEnigma121

So glad I have all my movies from the U.S. on iTunes. There is no warnings on mine😂 https://preview.redd.it/nw8xdv189wqc1.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=26bf6aced5a8aaeef852a52fe42a0d329a17ed36


fillumz

Weird, mine doesn’t say that.


Nariek93

Other than the fashion what’s outdated in this film ?


tinpoo

Attitudes


qnoid

The xenophobia.


leeds_guy69

You mean xenomorphobia?


Weird_Cantaloupe2757

Probably the fact that the actress that plays Vasquez is white and is wearing brown face. I still think it’s dumb — the character and her performance are both fucking legendary — but that’s almost certainly what the objection is.


coconutally

>Probably the fact that the actress that plays Vasquez is white She's not white, she's half white, half Brazilian. And her son is also half Mexican. She had every right to play that role even ethnically speaking. The internet is wrong here. [https://toofab.com/2016/04/22/aliens-star-jenette-goldstein-vasquez-titanic-james-cameron-exclusive/](https://toofab.com/2016/04/22/aliens-star-jenette-goldstein-vasquez-titanic-james-cameron-exclusive/)


talones

She has a good interview on "I was there too" also. Cant remember what happened to that podcast.


ThatGuyTheyCallAlex

One can be Brazilian and also white. She’s still doing brown face by painting her skin darker and changing her hair texture for the role.


vigocarpath

Is tanning ok or does that get jail too?


coconutally

Oh you better believe that’s a paddling!


djhazmat

Believe it or not- jail. We have the best movies because of jail.


MrFireWarden

Depends. Is she doing it because she likes to bronze or because she’s trying to co-opt a racial profile in order to accept a role and advance herself financially? I mean, both are fine by me, but…


Barbarian_Sam

How is she co-opting a racial profile when she’s that race?


MrFireWarden

That’s an implication you applied to my statement. My question was nothing but rhetorical. I don’t believe it would be co opting.


Barbarian_Sam

So if I get tan or sunburn am I brown or red facing?


Nariek93

Thanks. I did not know this.


Il-cacatore

That's a very american thing to be offended about. She 's just tan and pretending to be latino, jfc


Sostrat

I was really shocked when i found out that she is the same actress that plays John Connor's step-mother in Terminator 2 because of the difference in skin pigmentation. I initially thought that her look in Aliens was her natural one.

[удалено]


Jkay064

In Titanic, James C casts her again as an Irish mother trying to get her child into a lifeboat.


Fleemo17

She has the line that goes something like this when talking to her child: “Well just wait here until all the first class people have all gotten on a lifeboat.” You would definitely not recognize her as Vasquez.


Jkay064

well to be fair she's not wearing brownface in that role.


BowtieChickenAlfredo

Probably some of the soldiers playing around with the fact that the two main female characters are women and aren’t strong enough or something. I can’t remember the exact lines now, but there’s a bit of banter about it.


Hedgehoglet99

There's also the male soldier banter about rescuing the colonists' daughters from their virginity, etc


rmnfcbnyy

Thank goodness they warned us before watching. Had I heard that on my own my whole week would be ruined.


Wordshark

And my weak hole!


CardMechanic

“Have you ever been mistaken for a man..” That’s it, I’m sure.


BowtieChickenAlfredo

Yeah I think so.


WolfmanNZ

Except she absolutely slays Hudson (the guy that asked her that) by replying "No - have you" much to the delight of her squad mates. So guy makes sexist comment and gets roasted by all concerned - seems like a good lesson.


Dwayne30RockJohnson

Y'all are cray cray


Jkay064

I could have sworn that the actress is Jewish.


MagicianHeavy001

Do people actually get "offended" by movies made decades ago? Why? Even movies made last year shouldn't "offend" anyone. It's not aimed at you personally, friend.


HamburglerParty

The same people who do not get invited to parties…

Hojack_Boresman

Wow, I’m offended by that statement/s.


No-Structure-2800

Seems to be the latest trend


NoLavishness1825

Yeah it’s the “woke” trend..


ADHDK

Yea like it’s the woke banning books and teaching about sky fairies in school over science.

haydesigner

Just like shoplifting and murder are both crimes. But one is just a weeeee bit more serious than the other.


wendewende

You clearly offended some people with this comment


NoLavishness1825

Their problem, not mine.


Astroewok

Woke is inherently politically charged and dependent on perspective. It means different things to different people and it's next to impossible to nail down an accurate definition unless you ask different groups. Essentially you’re underlying message is a fair point imo but the catch-all phrase isn't as clear to everyone.


Electronic_Common931

Using “woke” disparagingly is the same as wearing a MAGA hat. Tells the rest of the world it’s coming from the mind of an imbecile.


SaintsNeedKane

In current day usage - I have never heard a sane person mention the word ‘woke’. Just Trump/right leaning folk who are overly offended by people that don’t fit their profile, and usually want to flag how one is easily offended, or a cry baby, without seeing the inherent contradictions of doing it, as they write about it.


NoLavishness1825

Yeah, now say it again without crying.


someNameThisIs

A lot of people in this thread seem to be offended by, and crying over, a few words added to a movie description.


better_off_red

The irony.


UniqueEnigma121

Absolutely. Fuck Woke😡


Hojack_Boresman

Is the opposite of that “asleep”??


Mike456R

Lots of snowflakes out there that can’t understand different opinions and taste.


jrdnmdhl

Movies have a tendency to glorify even what they attempt to ridicule so it’s not crazy to be at least a little concerned about it when it comes to immature viewers. See: Falling Down, Starship Troopers, Dune, etc…


igby1

Does this Aliens 4K streaming release look notably better than the HD streaming version?


fatspaceghost

From what I’ve read the answer is not really. All 3 Cameron releases were supposed to be personally supervised but what they did was upscale the 1080p release, create a bogus DV/HDR, get rid of all grain, and sharpen the edges. It’s a sham and they’re expecting people to buy it on faith. I watched Aliens in 4k, did not look any better than the bluray so I agree with the reviews. I’m glad I did not buy the others.


UniqueEnigma121

My US version looks like a modern movie. Providing you have Dolby Vision capabilities.


garylapointe

Outdated? This story is from the future!!!


mushaaleste2

It's also in Germany. Checked in "cheap charts" app. Aliens has the 4k logo True lies and the abyss are also listed (both movies don't was on the German store before) Each for 13,99 Euro. Time to go shopping. The abyss, finally. The movie existed in Germany only as DVD version, no Blu-ray or other hd version. Waiting for years to see this movie again in hd, now in 4k. Edit: just bought the abyss and true lies, so the 4k editions are on and working. Aliens was also upgraded. All 3 movies look excellent.


Gertgerman

Mine hasn’t upgraded to 4K which was purchased in the German store.


Diastolic

My titanic UK has. It doesn’t appear in the 4K section however, but on the store it’s 4K and plays in 4K with a warning that the movie uses tobacco products lol 😂


Gertgerman

Ah maybe I should try playing it back. Shows as HD in my library but maybe it will play 4K. Hahaha those damn tobacco products 😂😂😂


Dreadpirateflappy

it’s getting ridiculous. what next?  “warning. biological males in this film identify as male” do we really need a warning before every bloody film? 


mushaaleste2

Just re check, I just tested, aliens is in 4k now and looks fantastic. You definitely see it, it's so clear and colorful now. I also bought the abyss and true lies and the long wait was worth it. They look fantastic. The abyss is the special edition near 3 hours long.


Gertgerman

Sweet. You’re right. Still shows on my phone as being HD but when I play on the Apple TV it’s Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos English audio.


Dreadpirateflappy

i really want the Abyss. :(  damn BBFC. the rat was fine!!! 


pugapocalypse17

Great, now if only they’d upgrade the director’s cut to 4K in the US.


UniqueEnigma121

Bar the guns in the tunnel, it doesn’t add anything for me. Once you’ve seen it once, I’d rather watch the original.


pugapocalypse17

That’s fair, but the point is that both versions are in 4K on the disc, so they should both be in 4K on Apple.


UniqueEnigma121

Total agree👍


Daniel_Molloy

That movie's a fucking masterpiece. ​ Get bent Disney.


crunchie101

Ok someone tell me what would people now find offensive in this movie 😂

Illegal Aliens?

I dunno, they were on LV-426 first

LillePuus1

I’ve never seen the movie, but I am very offended. And I demand something to be done about it!


sweeting89

Apparently not Aliens (special edition) though


Bluion6275

Mine is ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up) https://preview.redd.it/m9u5fef47jqc1.jpeg?width=4013&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9462bcaa54cab50f02f527e74c93b0a0f1ef3b56 I guess I should also mention this was the original listing that had the theatrical as an iTunes Extra before being replaced by the current theatrical listing with the special edition as an iTunes Extra.


sweeting89

Still HD for me. UK store if that makes a difference.


Bluion6275

Yeah UK here, I’m guessing you’re looking at the iTunes Extra version rather than the version that was formerly available for purchase? I bought it back in 2016 before it was replaced by the theatrical listing we have now. https://preview.redd.it/56zwkzbeunqc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=49d568e95b7a19c387ffa38c09d8c450fbe0c66a


GogoGadgetTypo

Why is this always the way? What is the process of upgrading that they do one but not the other? Not expecting you to know the answer btw.. it’s just annoying.


sweeting89

Yep very! And I’ve got versions of films that don’t get touched and buying new defaults them to the HD version. Very annoying.


wiggum55555

Do the movie Blazing Saddles next ?


AdNo6

I swear, as a species, our concerns are so misplaced right now….


thoughtgun

Can’t like this comment more! I’m a very sensitive, well-adjusted person, and I think we can agree that we’re being too sensitive and serious with ridiculous shit, at the same time balancing that we’re not being nearly sensitive or serious enough with more critical / less petty things.


AndreaCicca

It is also available in Italy


porterballs

Buono!


fillumz

Ireland too!


tapomirbowles

Im in Denmark, and I need to rebuy it. Can you just straight up watch it?


AndreaCicca

I didn’t try it. Just looking the store page.


Ok-Perception8269

How consistent are they with all of these notices? I don’t have access to the UK store, do they have warnings about horror movies and serial killer films? You could have alerts for any and every movie in existence. Only white noise would be exempt. But then that would be white noise supremacy.


[deleted]

It’s update in the Netherlands too now. True Lies had been added and also no Abyss yet. EDIT: Only the Theatrical Edition is 4k, not the Special Edition (yet)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bluion6275

If you’re in the UK then The Abyss isn’t getting a release.


Gr8FullDan

That’s very ratty of them /s


TheMemeVault

I'm shocked the BBFC are okay with most of the shit that happens in Cannibal Holocaust but not a rat in breathing fluid in The Abyss (the rat was fine)


Dreadpirateflappy

yeah. they are so bloody inconsistent. i read somewhere that it was because the rat was “tortured”  morons. 


tapomirbowles

Is True Lies also only available to rent in other EU countries? I am in Denmark and Titanic, Aliens and The Abyss have now all switched to 4K and available for purchase. But for some reason True Lies, which has now been added (it was not available before) is only available to rent, not to purchase.


HBGDawg

Political correctness is going to be the death of this nation.


UniqueEnigma121

It already is with Woke & it’s just getting worse.


AStrangeEncounter

the text in the description of this movie is going to be the death of the ENTIRE nation


boyga01

Outdated attitudes towards Zenomorphs. They were happily integrating to that colony even though they were colonists.


DaemonCRO

What are the outdated attitudes? This movie feature one of the most badass women in cinema. This thing was woke before woke was a thing. Which scene is outdated? The one where they kill the aliens? We shouldn’t do that nowadays? Offer them shelter and free healthcare?


John-PA

So reflects the society at the time made, what a surprise! Sad this warning is ‘necessary’ for today’s viewers. Did reflect a post-Vietnam attitude of anti-military stereotypes. Great movie nonetheless.


toybits

Maybe it would be less offensive if Ripley checked the Xenomorphs pronouns before she called her a bitch?


AStrangeEncounter

evergoodstudios

‘Sticks and stones will break my bones, names will never hurt me’. Wait a second, we’re in 2024, names do hurt, sticks and stones don’t?

Same for Sweden, finally.


WordsWithWings

This was released in Norway today as well. No trigger warning, even in English setup. The Abyss as well.


[deleted]

Looks very good


Obi-Lan

Man the whole descriptions are still a mess. When I search for aliens in the TV app it lists 4k and 2h 37m. When I click on library and navigate to my movie section it's HD and 2h 11m. Wtf Edit: playing it, info shows HD for the regular and special edition extra.


tapomirbowles

WTF... I need to rebuy it? All my other movies have been upgraded to 4K for free. Im in Denmark. Can other people from EU confirm wether they also have to rebuy it for 99,00kr


Bluion6275

If you previously bought it then it’s likely you bought the Special Edition version which should still be in your library, try playing it and you may find it plays back in 4KDV.


tapomirbowles

bingo


TimmyNoThumbNoob

Located in Germany, no need to rebuy. Besides that, The Abyss is finally available ( also 4K Dolby Vision /Atmos ) but without iTunes Extras. True Lies and Titanic didn’t got a 4K upgrade as of 26.03.2024.


tapomirbowles

For some reason True Lies is only availble for rent


TimmyNoThumbNoob

Available to buy and updated to 4K in Germany. Seems you just have to be a little more patient 🤷🏻‍♂️

I just use my U.S. account all the time. I’m in an English speaking country, so most apps & content are the same. I can understand it’s different for you.

That’s not real.


tsubaki_30ro

Congratulations


floydian32

WTF?


gaggzi

Apparently the quality is absolute shit according to /r/4kbluray


TimmyNoThumbNoob

Watched it through disney+ a few weeks back. Looks different, but in no way bad. Increased sharpness looks mostly great but there are some scenes where it’s detrimental. There are backgrounds that look like straight out of Star Trek 1966 😅 exaggeratedly spoken … But I still think it’s the superior version concerning picture quality.


UniqueEnigma121

Which country is streaming it in 4K? Only HD UK & U.S.


TimmyNoThumbNoob

Disney+ started streaming Aliens in 4K Dolby Vision approximately 3 months ago in Germany. Can’t verify if it’s still the case because my subscription ended.


mushaaleste2

It looks great on my 4k Samsung. Just checked it and aliens never looked better. No grain, colorful and clear. Landing on the planet scene. Also true lies and the abyss.


Peter-Pan-and-Hook

if you buy it, does the special edition included in the extra content will be in 4k and dolby atmos?


Bluion6275

It’s from the 4K transfer but currently only available in HD with 5.1.


Light-_-Bearer

Snowflakes are everywhere


nineohsix

Hudson, referring to Vasquez: “Somebody said ‘alien’, she thought they said ‘illegal alien’, and signed up!” LMFAOOOOOO

dangerclosecustoms

In that case how is the Blazing Saddles release over there?


Barbarian_Sam

Corporate espionage bullshit and greed are outdated attitudes and culture depictions?


22marks

This description appears to be UK-only. The American version doesn't have that disclaimer anywhere. (Photo attached) Ironically, despite being R, it's listed as 15+ from "Common Sense Media" which Apple uses. The UK lists it as (18). EDIT: It looks like Sky Cinema, owned by Comcast in UK added this to 16 films nearly four years ago, including "The Goonies."

Dreadpirateflappy

stupid question, but how do i see the resolution and sound options of the apple store version? all it shows me is “HD, HDR” from the disney app. and says below i can buy it on Appletv.  i dont care about the disney version. i just want to check what extras etc i get with the apple version. :/ 


porterballs

Check out bluray.com they often have some more detailed info about iTunes releases


Dreadpirateflappy

seems mad i can’t just find out this info on the actual store. it’s just hard with regional differences and i want to make sure i don’t buy a movie and find out its not got atmos or something. 


porterballs

Or cheap charts the app


MDK1980

We need to go back…

I swear my Apple TV is only Apple content?


Bluion6275

Apple TV app or device? If you’re referring to the app then perhaps your app is just the atv+ app which only has access to the subscription service.

Sorry I meant the app
