| lesser known Hudson quotes |
You may be familiar with the movie Aliens, and if you've seen it, then you should know that Hudson (played by Bill Paxton) is my favorite "freak-out" character of all time. If you've ever talked with peoople about him in that movie, you've probably heard someone repeat his more popular lines. Like when their transport crashes and he says, "Game over, man. Game over!" Or when Ripley tells him that Newt survived for months without weapons, and he cries, "Whydontchujust put her in charge!?" Tonight, I watched a bad VHS copy of the movie (only to find out AFTER it was over that TNT was playin it twice in a row starting at 7pm in what seemed like some new crystal clear vision compared to the condition of the version we saw). Well, he says other things that make me laugh. I'm not sure what it is, but I crack up when I hear him. It's mostly because of his inflection. Mostly. So here are the lesser known Hudson quotes, but you have to try and mimick his half-whine, half-laugh voice if you read them out loud: After Bishop gets done using his hand in The Knife Scene: "That wasn't funny, man!" After he realizes they are in serious trouble: "Dear Lord Jesus, this ain't happening." After someone says something positive to boost morale: "Maybe you haven't been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked, man!" After their transport crashes: "Oh, that's just fucking great! We're in some pretty shit now!" Someone let's it known that a rescue team won't arrive for another 17 days: "17 days!? I don't mean to rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last 17 hours!" They look at him when they are trying to figure out who should crawl underground to pilot the 2nd transport via remote control: "Yeah, right! With those things running around?! You can count me out!" When Bishop volunteers, Hudson is very enthusiastic: "Yeah! Bishop should go! Good idea!" After this, they pretty much get Hudson to stop being such a cry baby and he even starts to toughin up, until he is ultimately dragged down by the monsters into the ground. I think he goes out heroically guns blasting. One of his last good spoken lines was when they found out Burke threw the face grabbers in the room to impregnate Ripley and Newt. He shoves a gun in his face: "You're dogmeat, pal!" |
