Same reason people now still like 1911s.
Some things come back into fashion, some things never go out of it.
Never seen a 1911 with sling shot and/or crossbow accessories :lol

I have low hopes for this. For me, the best of Alien/Aliens have been rooted in interesting characters, dialogue and strong performances. Neil is a great stylist (though he obviously and admittedly pulls material/design from known manga) but he has yet to demonstrate an understanding of character, character development, dialogue or an innate understanding of actors. I have low hopes.
Magpul is big with the air soft community, too - it's not exclusive to the gun community.I still think this is Blomkamps personal airsoft pulse rifle that he had a prop guy trick out and he's just having a laugh.
Look at the weapons in Elysium, the sights all matched the weapons. The weapons were all designed. Even the add on parts were made from scratch. He mated an old weapon, an AK47 "Is this a family heirloom?" (was the joke in the scene) with air bursting ammunition, and a very cool laser sighting system that was attached using zip ties.
He's not going to stick a tech from 2015 on a gun from 2204 unless there is story behind it. He's a gun guy. He knows weapons really well. He made notes about Magpul accessories in some of the different concept weapons from Elysium. Directors who don't know guns don't do that.
And isn't the sight on backwards?

Those insects are pretty smart, right..... "how can they cut the power?!...they're animals!..." I reckon it would be kind of cool if they can somehow communicate with us...even if in a crude or rudimentary way with the humans this time...... die all you carbon based organisms ....die! ....no...breed so we can breed too....
Oh, HELL NO. It would be like in that horrible Roger Corman movie "Forbidden World". Just no no no no no no no no no no no no no. The Xenomorphs have already lost enough mystery. It was enough that the Queen knew to send away her drones when Ripley threatened with the flamer.
NO.

What are your thoughts regarding the newborn in Resurrection?
It was creepy in a disgusting way (I have to give them that)... but I hate it to the point that it's not entertaining and that I don't want to watch it. Resurrection would have been a fine general scifi-movie, but as an Alien film it's an atrocity, aside from having a couple interesting ideas. It should never have been directed by Jeunet either. He's a fine director, but didn't understand the series because he turned it into a slimy gorefest instead of the psycho-sexual horror that the Xenos represent. (He himself even openly questioned why Fox wanted him to do it.) It also contains the same quirky French humor as in The Fifth Element. (No offense to the French humor intended, I just don't think it works in an Alien film.)
So damn it Blomkamp, NO TALKING ALIENS. Please.
