Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Alien 3 (1992): 2 lines

  1. lineage (sequel undoes ending) · through Alien Resurrection (1997), which they acted in: Alien 3 ⇒ Alien Resurrection (the host's read). Resurrection brings Ripley back as a clone, which undoes Alien 3's chosen death.
    “My nuclear take is bringing her back to life as a clone is more disrespectful than killing, uh, hicks and newt in this movie.”

  2. lineage (sequel) · through Alien Resurrection (1997), which they acted in: Alien 3 ⇒ Alien Resurrection (the host's read). Resurrection follows Alien 3, but its Ripley is a different character from the one who died.
    “As much as she was quote unquote resurrected, obviously, that's a different character explicitly.”

Goldfinger: 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien Resurrection (1997), which they acted in: Goldfinger ⇒ Alien Resurrection (the host's read). The newborn alien sucked out the window repeats the Goldfinger ending, but sad.
    “it's the goldfinger ending.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Firefly (TV): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien Resurrection (1997), which they acted in: Alien Resurrection ⇒ Firefly (TV) (the host's read). The Betty's space-pirate crew reads as proto-Firefly, Whedon's later show.
    “I mean, some proto firefly stuff.”

Jurassic Park (1993): 1 line

  1. lineage (lineage) · through Alien Resurrection (1997), which they acted in: Alien Resurrection ⇒ Jurassic Park (the host's read). Aliens caged and taunted while hunting you feels like the raptors; raptors may be Alien rip-offs.
    “the raptors have a bit of an alien rip off vibe, honestly”

  1. fun, about Dan Hedaya: His shoulder hair is the subject of a long bit.
