"Aliens" : Some nice effects, but actually kind've a crap film.

Those homemade Smart Guns are *magnificent*!

they are pretty impressively craf---HEY WAIT A MINUTE!

How exactly did I come up with "kind've"? 2004 -- dark times.

oooh look sega

It must suck to work in the future where every utilitarian thing is sound-designed to make you more stressed out

hee

This looks very interesting: Rejected Alien 3 script by William Gibson. I haven't read it yet.

that does look interesting. 'might have gone this way' scripts are fascinating. have just started on the rejected indiana jones 4 frank darabont number.

classic Challops in NYC thread

i've just been reading some of the v early star wars drafts, they are lol-tastic.

RANGER: The Bogan force is too strong upon us. Our spirit is broken.
...
DEAK:
You're feeling the Bogan's despair. Be strong, Tyree, drive it from your thoughts.
...
TROOPS: The Bogan! The Bogan!
...
VADER: You will come to know such suffering as only the Master of the Bogan Force can provide.

It's still mostly the best of the series. Mostly.

thought bogan was some kind of Australian insult

Yeah, it's the aussie equivalent of chav/redneck.

Joss Whedon's Alien: Resurrection script.

Yeah, it's the aussie equivalent of chav/redneck.

is this meant to imply chav = redneck

i read that script before the movie came out. there was this junk sale/knick knack convention at the mall and this dude was selling bootlegged scripts. i liked the script ok. certainly better than the final product.

In Space Everyone Can Hear Those Eerie Steam Pipes

all of the unused alien3 scripts are rubbish :(

is "kind've" an accepted contraction?

"game over, man! scary-sounding game over!"

that rig sure did have a load of those steam pipes.

lots o'scripts: http://home.online.no/~bhundlan/scripts/alien3/

Results 1 - 10 of about 92,600 for "kind've". (0.22 seconds)

From what I can see, a lot of people use it, but completely incorrectly. Logic dictates that it's a contraction of "kind have":

"Want some gum?"
"What kind've you got?"

Everyone appears to be using it in place of "kind of," which makes no sense at all:

Kind’ve like candy…
Kind've frustrated.
It's kind've ironic that the image posted for this article
What kind've rims are these?

People be stupid.

language be flexible

i'm all about the fluidity of language, but "kind've" doesn't save you any syllables when spoken or any keystrokes when typed, which is typically the purpose of a contraction, plus it just looks weird and wrong

i wld take out the apostrophe

This is why god gave us kinda.

It doesn't save you any syllables but it sure is nice not having to reach back for that voiceless glottal fricative between two frontally-articulated consonants. Whether it should be reflected in spelling as a contraction, I don't know. The fact that it sounds so much like "would've" and "could've" is probably a big factor in making people wanna do this.

Between two frontally-articulated voiced consonants even.

I love Aliens!

You can all kind've blow me.

"kind have"?

Read the thread.

no.

YESSSS

sigh

alex in nyc getting upset about corny one liners is pretty o_O

LOL

Newt ruins this movie just like Short Round ruined The Temple of Doom.

Kinda vs. Kind've = the "o" sounds vs the "f" sound in the word "of", no? Would prob explain the confusion about usage anyway.
