I caught Aliens at the big Los Angeles all-media screening, which happened eight or nine days before the 7.18.86 opening. I had such a great time at the all-media that I went a second time at Westwood’s Avco on Wilshire Blvd. — the same theatre where Tarantino and his Video Archives pallies were. The all-media crowd was on fire, but the commercial screening (I attended an early evening show) was even better, more reactive, more roof-lifting.
