I'm a programmer by profession and I write screenplays as a hobby. After way too much coding, caffeine, and sleep-deprivation, I decided to watch Aliens. As I was watching, I realized I could rewrite the final battle in Perl.
Synopsis: Ripley, the heroine, is trying to protect the little girl Newt from the alien queen by strapping on a Heavy Loader and attacking the queen:
I think I should address my caffeine/sleep-deprivation problem.if ($newt =~ /chased by alien queen/i) { RIPLEY: { use HEAVYLOADER; kill $alienqueen || undef $newt; open (AIRLOCK, ">>hackneyedstoryidea.dat") || last RIPLEY; } }
