You may be right about the quote. Its been a few months since I last saw it.

And I don't know about the comedy, I think it works pretty well in horror films often (and no, I don't mean in stuff like "Scary Movie"). And in Alien Resurrection the comedy is quite surreal, yet also quite understated at the same time as its all done so dead pan. Its a really peculiar film when all is said and done. I'm not so sure that it can be dismissed as a franchise misfire, its more of a misguided attempt at a new style for an old theme. Well intentioned, but ultimately flawed.
