Thank you. Re: Aliens, obviously I disagree. The pacing is better in the cinema cut, and I don't think the bit with the colonists discovering the alien ship adds anything of value. Much better (and more mysterious) to experience the aftermath, through the eyes of the marines. The one thing I would put back in is the brief scene with Ripley discovering her daughter has died, but on points, I'd take the cinema cut over the director's cut every time. :)
