◼   ► place to talk to see where some of us [TS]

◼   ► don't even count alien cubed know for [TS]

◼   ► the next one anyway [TS]

◼   ► alien so alien is a movie that I think [TS]

◼   ► we are all too young to say that we went [TS]

◼   ► in and saw the movie and were surprised [TS]

◼   ► at what happens in it is that accurate [TS]

◼   ► because I always knew this is the movie [TS]

◼   ► where somebody has an alien come out of [TS]

◼   ► their chests spoilers for alien by the [TS]

◼   ► way points for almost 40 year old movie [TS]

◼   ► I definitely saw spaceballs before I saw [TS]

◼   ► Bailey I think I did too i didn't matter [TS]

◼   ► i saw alien in the theater I was seven [TS]

◼   ► at the time to be responsible [TS]

◼   ► well that's when it was out it's not [TS]

◼   ► like I could tell them to lay the movie [TS]

◼   ► for another three years until it's [TS]

◼   ► appropriate for me not surprised Steve [TS]

◼   ► not surprised one bit sudden theater [TS]

◼   ► with my sister and but I can honestly [TS]

◼   ► say that i was surprised because I had [TS]

◼   ► already i had a copy of a alien the [TS]

◼   ► illustrated story i think it was called [TS]

◼   ► i basically the heavy metal a associated [TS]

◼   ► graphic novel written by archie goodwin [TS]

◼   ► i think was i believe so and it was very [TS]

◼   ► very good and it also included several [TS]

◼   ► the scenes that were not yet clipped [TS]

◼   ► from the script at the time that the the [TS]

◼   ► graphic novel was written right met it [TS]

◼   ► was it was a revelation when the dvds [TS]

◼   ► and the blue race came out and i finally [TS]

◼   ► saw these scenes that I remember being [TS]

◼   ► in the graphic novel that were in the [TS]

◼   ► movie but yeah the the the chest burster [TS]

◼   ► thing was not a shock to me probably [TS]

◼   ► wouldn't have been that big shock [TS]

◼   ► yeah even if i had seen it sight unseen [TS]

◼   ► I hadn't I wasn't surprised me but not [TS]

◼   ► because it had been spoiled by reading a [TS]

◼   ► comic or people telling me but because i [TS]

◼   ► actually read the novelization by alan [TS]

◼   ► dean foster I ever saw the movie is [TS]

◼   ► really good novelization as well it is [TS]

◼   ► and it also featured those parts that [TS]

◼   ► were you know sort of subsequently cut [TS]

◼   ► out of the script which confuse the hell [TS]

◼   ► of me when I first did actually see the [TS]

◼   ► movie the eyesore on VHS first and that [TS]

◼   ► was what first intrigued me about the [TS]

◼   ► about the film was that the aladin [TS]

◼   ► foster novelizations on a shelf and the [TS]

◼   ► movie poster was the cover for it and I [TS]

◼   ► thought they were summarized strangely [TS]

◼   ► intriguing about that that cover and [TS]

◼   ► that was it's a classic poster is a [TS]

◼   ► classic sort even know it [TS]

◼   ► it does sort of diverging lot from what [TS]

◼   ► actually happens in the movie [TS]

◼   ► yes but and the egg doesn't even look [TS]

◼   ► like the eggs in the movie it's a it's a [TS]

◼   ► hand raised or something as well it [TS]

◼   ► certainly doesn't doesn't shoot green [TS]

◼   ► lightning out of line and hover that [TS]

◼   ► will never happen to our field and even [TS]

◼   ► the tagline on the poster i believe is [TS]

◼   ► in space no one can hear you scream [TS]

◼   ► that's correct but to quote the magazine [TS]

◼   ► parody of this movie they make an awful [TS]

◼   ► lot of noise I remember this the as a as [TS]

◼   ► a thing and pop pop culture just [TS]

◼   ► literally aliens the movie where that [TS]

◼   ► guy has is a chest ripped open by an [TS]

◼   ► alien and purse out and I I had not seen [TS]

◼   ► it in fact i read in arthur c clarke not [TS]

◼   ► ball 2010 they wanted there's a joke [TS]

◼   ► about how they stock alien on the ship's [TS]

◼   ► library when they're flying to Jupiter [TS]

◼   ► and somebody watches it and says who put [TS]

◼   ► this on here these people in the [TS]

◼   ► spaceship and at that point I still [TS]

◼   ► hadn't seen it but I knew what they were [TS]

◼   ► getting and I didn't I probably saw it [TS]

◼   ► at not too long after sometime in the [TS]

◼   ► late eighties but for me it was all [TS]

◼   ► about that one scene and not really [TS]

◼   ► knowing anything else about it i mean [TS]

◼   ► and then knowing that it was became a [TS]

◼   ► franchise I guess the other thing [TS]

◼   ► because then aliens came out and was a [TS]

◼   ► big hit to and then all the other things [TS]

◼   ► happen but I really didn't catch up with [TS]

◼   ► the alien franchise and told ya like the [TS]

◼   ► late eighties I think I so it was [TS]

◼   ► already a franchise when you I think so [TS]

◼   ► right when the aliens come out right [TS]

◼   ► alien ETS six yeah I'm pretty sure about [TS]

◼   ► aliens first and then went back to see [TS]

◼   ► alien wow I might have as well I know [TS]

◼   ► for sure like Monty I saw spaceballs [TS]

◼   ► first and first time I saw spaceballs i [TS]

◼   ► think was just on VHS it was with my [TS]

◼   ► parents who are big geeks and they [TS]

◼   ► actually had to explain the chest sorry [TS]

◼   ► spoilers for spaceballs explain the the [TS]

◼   ► chest burster seen spaceballs to me [TS]

◼   ► because I just didn't really get it [TS]

◼   ► because i didn't really know about the [TS]

◼   ► zeitgeist of of science-fiction horror [TS]

◼   ► movies at the time so they had to be [TS]

◼   ► like I don't know it's in it's the same [TS]

◼   ► guy from that from this movie where this [TS]

◼   ► happened so yeah thanks mom and dad [TS]

◼   ► yeah I had also that I had family [TS]

◼   ► disapproval when I was just being 10 or [TS]

◼   ► 11 and my sister and I used to stare [TS]

◼   ► grandparents during summer holidays and [TS]

◼   ► often are young son Cole he's only a few [TS]

◼   ► years older than us and our cousins were [TS]

◼   ► there as well and they were just [TS]

◼   ► horrified to learn to be hansung alien [TS]

◼   ► or aliens or any had any opinion about [TS]

◼   ► alien so when we can we got to watch all [TS]

◼   ► three movies which is ok you know it [TS]

◼   ► wasn't ok was really weird and scary the [TS]

◼   ► most of it and it was probably worse for [TS]

◼   ► my sister who was really not kid with [TS]

◼   ► like the witches ruled else which is [TS]

◼   ► movie that scared the crap out of [TS]

◼   ► partners presumably meant for children [TS]

◼   ► it's so obvious next step is alien [TS]

◼   ► wasn't coping very well this but I want [TS]

◼   ► to help very constant comment rate so [TS]

◼   ► the chest purchasing wasn't exactly [TS]

◼   ► surprised when you've got your own [TS]

◼   ► cookbook [TS]

◼   ► wait for it wait for our way [TS]

◼   ► don't hurt what's your heart you're like [TS]

◼   ► yeah ok ok could be just so just chill [TS]

◼   ► relax enjoy the tension in the [TS]

◼   ► atmosphere instead of you telling me [TS]

◼   ► fact after fact that i don't know i mean [TS]

◼   ► it was talking I was told [TS]

◼   ► oh and this is tom skerritt never was [TS]

◼   ► really shocked about how is colin like [TS]

◼   ► have no idea tom skerritt it's why are [TS]

◼   ► you telling me I still want to be tom [TS]

◼   ► skerritt ya see by the time i saw this i [TS]

◼   ► had already seen top gun so I knew [TS]

◼   ► exactly who tom skerritt us part of the [TS]

◼   ► other reason that people were so shocked [TS]

◼   ► was because of course he's you know the [TS]

◼   ► heroic mail man you looking captain and [TS]

◼   ► you know that in itself was just quite a [TS]

◼   ► surprise at the time I was twelve [TS]

◼   ► thirteen when I saw this I know I kind [TS]

◼   ► of been older than 13 because I [TS]

◼   ► definitely saw it before aliens came out [TS]

◼   ► in 86 and i had a friend who was [TS]

◼   ► absolutely obsessed with this movie I [TS]

◼   ► mean to like obsessed with this with [TS]

◼   ► Geiger just everything and I became a [TS]

◼   ► little obsessed but nowhere near on the [TS]

◼   ► level of that he was and he was also [TS]

◼   ► really good artist so he would literally [TS]

◼   ► spend all day like drawing aliens and [TS]

◼   ► scenes from the movie and he had all the [TS]

◼   ► paraphernalia and it was just crazy so [TS]

◼   ► I'd try and get Gerard on your pc folder [TS]

◼   ► is a good way to get right principles [TS]

◼   ► yeah so yeah I saw this movie a lot when [TS]

◼   ► I was you know quite young but I don't [TS]

◼   ► know I I think it's one of those things [TS]

◼   ► that are it's another of those movies [TS]

◼   ► where there's so much that actually [TS]

◼   ► isn't on screen that apart from the [TS]

◼   ► chest bursting seen does not actually [TS]

◼   ► that much in it sort of physical Igor [TS]

◼   ► why is that is unsuitable for kids it's [TS]

◼   ► just that it's so tense and scary and [TS]

◼   ► just herbing yet is not very bloody at [TS]

◼   ► all it's really not apart from the [TS]

◼   ► Chester yet except for that one scene [TS]

◼   ► where everybody gets covered [TS]

◼   ► apart from that but that's that's that's [TS]

◼   ► really the Soul scene [TS]

◼   ► yeah thatthat's particular which is [TS]

◼   ► another reason it's so shocking right [TS]

◼   ► a parker gets carried off you know we [TS]

◼   ► don't see what really what happens to [TS]

◼   ► him a Dallas he gets grabbed and you [TS]

◼   ► don't see anything that happens to him [TS]

◼   ► because he was [TS]

◼   ► originally destined to be a future host [TS]

◼   ► for an alien and lambert & Parker we [TS]

◼   ► just sort of see from the distance and [TS]

◼   ► there's blood dripping down but it's not [TS]

◼   ► like you see this is not even in focus [TS]

◼   ► yeah there's like I have a really quick [TS]

◼   ► shot that if you posit you can see what [TS]

◼   ► happens when the aliens little extended [TS]

◼   ► dead teeth come out and bite it [TS]

◼   ► Parker's head but that's about it that's [TS]

◼   ► it it's very low-key internet going [TS]

◼   ► it's like a slasher movie but the line [TS]

◼   ► item for fake blood instead went for KY [TS]

◼   ► jelly haha so this is what i want to [TS]

◼   ► mention is is that this is a movie with [TS]

◼   ► lots of sci-fi trappings that are very [TS]

◼   ► interesting i think that it it was a lot [TS]

◼   ► i kept I kept thinking as I watched it [TS]

◼   ► as most 1970 sci-fi movies do a tone was [TS]

◼   ► a huge debt to 2001 but it is a horror [TS]

◼   ► movie where everybody gets picked off [TS]

◼   ► one by one I think at its core like [TS]

◼   ► steve was listing be dead ways everybody [TS]

◼   ► dies [TS]

◼   ► everybody dies one by one until only [TS]

◼   ► Sigourney Weaver is left it is a horror [TS]

◼   ► movie in that way and that's one of the [TS]

◼   ► things that I think is fascinating about [TS]

◼   ► it is that it is it is just a horror [TS]

◼   ► movie set in a sci-fi world but it is [TS]

◼   ► unabashedly you know a slasher movie [TS]

◼   ► where the slasher is not a a phantasm or [TS]

◼   ► a madman but a killer alien but [TS]

◼   ► otherwise it's just don't you know it [TS]

◼   ► it's a slasher movie [TS]

◼   ► yeah actually I took a class in college [TS]

◼   ► called film styles and genre with David [TS]

◼   ► bordwell the american film theorists and [TS]

◼   ► historian and the every every semester [TS]

◼   ► he would do a different genre and I [TS]

◼   ► would I lucked out and got horror for [TS]

◼   ► the genre therefore the the semester i [TS]

◼   ► happen to be doing it an alien i think [TS]

◼   ► was one of the one of the first things [TS]

◼   ► that we actually watched and talked [TS]

◼   ► about for that class so i have just sort [TS]

◼   ► of always seen it as a horror movie [TS]

◼   ► because i know i had seen it before that [TS]

◼   ► but I had seen aliens so many more times [TS]

◼   ► and that of course is not a horror movie [TS]

◼   ► that's an actual yeah so my memories my [TS]

◼   ► memories of alien are really just Oh [TS]

◼   ► abiding Lee paying attention to the [TS]

◼   ► horror elements because that is that's [TS]

◼   ► sort of how I I really paid attention to [TS]

◼   ► it the first time I [TS]

◼   ► dug into the film actually the nastiest [TS]

◼   ► death by far is has got to be ash and [TS]

◼   ► yeah yeah i mean it and and the only [TS]

◼   ► reason I think that even would have [TS]

◼   ► passed muster as an r rating is because [TS]

◼   ► he's squirting milky fluid instead [TS]

◼   ► relies yeah it's pretty it's pretty foul [TS]

◼   ► if you watch it in the context of him [TS]

◼   ► being a human you know I think one of [TS]

◼   ► the reasons that this movie was has [TS]

◼   ► become so influential is because of that [TS]

◼   ► combination of Johnson guess it is a [TS]

◼   ► horror movie but it's a really good [TS]

◼   ► horror movie and because the sci-fi is a [TS]

◼   ► setting rather than the sort of driver [TS]

◼   ► in the sense of what we think of as hard [TS]

◼   ► sci-fi and also because it does such a [TS]

◼   ► good job of that kind of working-class [TS]

◼   ► dirty sci-fi yeah you know that you're [TS]

◼   ► so funny things like Star Wars but [TS]

◼   ► obviously very different context there [TS]

◼   ► because the size is setting it doesn't [TS]

◼   ► require sort of my friend Frankie [TS]

◼   ► cornered leanings in order to appreciate [TS]

◼   ► the horror movie aspect of it and you [TS]

◼   ► know both of those genres are so [TS]

◼   ► maligned schlocky so many so often and [TS]

◼   ► yet this is regarded as a classic well [TS]

◼   ► in 1979 that was a pretty valid [TS]

◼   ► complaint oh sure sure but then along [TS]

◼   ► came this and suddenly this was winning [TS]

◼   ► awards [TS]

◼   ► I mean it literally won an Academy Award [TS]

◼   ► I'm indicate was for effect but you know [TS]

◼   ► has incredible i like to compare to 2001 [TS]

◼   ► for its aesthetic which is the polar [TS]

◼   ► opposite of 2,000 ones gleaming [TS]

◼   ► antiseptic stanley kubrick style whereas [TS]

◼   ► this is even before you see any people [TS]

◼   ► it's a spaceship that people live in its [TS]

◼   ► grungy even more than Star Wars is lived [TS]

◼   ► in universe [TS]

◼   ► this is a working-class yes science [TS]

◼   ► fiction world which has loved so much [TS]

◼   ► it's not campaign it's not guns back in [TS]

◼   ► its everything looks as if it's used as [TS]

◼   ► if you could just sort of walk into it [TS]

◼   ► and start living in that world I agree [TS]

◼   ► it's actually we talk about this in our [TS]

◼   ► episode about the original Ghostbusters [TS]

◼   ► movie but I said I think one of the [TS]

◼   ► things about and from 2016 you look at [TS]

◼   ► them smoking on a spaceship you're like [TS]

◼   ► oh that's a really bad idea [TS]

◼   ► somebody's opposition do you guys have [TS]

◼   ► but it is a i also read that as I do in [TS]

◼   ► ghostbusters as it is also a signal of [TS]

◼   ► like these are real people these are [TS]

◼   ► like working class people there they're [TS]

◼   ► doing a job i think i think i enjoy [TS]

◼   ► avocados performance since he's like i'm [TS]

◼   ► just so i'm just working here man [TS]

◼   ► right i think it's really good i just [TS]

◼   ► want my money yeah their banter over [TS]

◼   ► their first breakfasts feels really like [TS]

◼   ► a an organic conversation I mean these [TS]

◼   ► are these are like the space garbage men [TS]

◼   ► right so that the first conversation [TS]

◼   ► they have is about money [TS]

◼   ► Yeah right there talking about their [TS]

◼   ► bonuses that's the worried about its [TS]

◼   ► really not talking about how amazing is [TS]

◼   ► that they've just woken up from [TS]

◼   ► suspended animation [TS]

◼   ► know are there not gimmies that the [TS]

◼   ► United space there might be a new world [TS]

◼   ► you there on Saturday October 29th don't [TS]

◼   ► when I mentioned 2001 of the way I view [TS]

◼   ► it is yeah this is this is a dirty world [TS]

◼   ► in a way that the 2001 isn't but but it [TS]

◼   ► is the pacing of it the way space is [TS]

◼   ► treated I felt like very 2001 it is [TS]

◼   ► slow and deliberate and quiet especially [TS]

◼   ► at the beginning which serves the horror [TS]

◼   ► movie part of this movie that very well [TS]

◼   ► right that it that it's using you know [TS]

◼   ► could you could argue i guess the 2001 [TS]

◼   ► is also sort of horrific and what [TS]

◼   ► eventually happens but it's it's a lot [TS]

◼   ► of things and we're not here to talk [TS]

◼   ► about 2001 that that's another episode [TS]

◼   ► that we probably never will do but it [TS]

◼   ► would be 10 hours long if we did it but [TS]

◼   ► it's it's a slow pace and and all of [TS]

◼   ► that I think works to the benefit of the [TS]

◼   ► horse stuff but but I definitely felt [TS]

◼   ► like the first time we haven't really [TS]

◼   ► even kind of broken down the plot of the [TS]

◼   ► movie here but first chunk went on the [TS]

◼   ► planet especially and their the interval [TS]

◼   ► and they get out and all that not only [TS]

◼   ► is I think the science questionable in [TS]

◼   ► there but uh which okay it's fine [TS]

◼   ► whatever but it's just it it feels it [TS]

◼   ► feels slow and and frustrating to to me [TS]

◼   ► as a modern film viewer but also at the [TS]

◼   ► same time really calls back to something [TS]

◼   ► like 2001 which was absolutely that's [TS]

◼   ► like space is quiet and it's slow and [TS]

◼   ► these things are moving very slowly [TS]

◼   ► through silence and I did appreciate [TS]

◼   ► that part of it even though it's a very [TS]

◼   ► different feeling world yeah I want to [TS]

◼   ► talk a little bit about that pacing [TS]

◼   ► which when I rewatched this the first [TS]

◼   ► time three years ago when we were [TS]

◼   ► supposed to do this movie I I made a [TS]

◼   ► note that you know as much as I love [TS]

◼   ► this movie and this is not the fault of [TS]

◼   ► the movie in any way but it as much as I [TS]

◼   ► love the movie i think it's a [TS]

◼   ► masterpiece and i think that the effects [TS]

◼   ► and things still hold up very well I [TS]

◼   ► agree it kind of doesn't work anymore [TS]

◼   ► I you know you said I disagree not [TS]

◼   ► because everything seems dated but [TS]

◼   ► because it takes so long to get going [TS]

◼   ► and for me remembering how amazing all [TS]

◼   ► of the sci-fi stuff and all the [TS]

◼   ► planetary stuff was as a kid it doesn't [TS]

◼   ► bother me because it's me it just feels [TS]

◼   ► like a really good slow burn but i think [TS]

◼   ► most modern audiences watch this stuff [TS]

◼   ► in the beginning and it's stuffed it in [TS]

◼   ► 1979 it was groundbreaking and now it's [TS]

◼   ► stuff that we've seen a million times [TS]

◼   ► and i'm also going to disagree sight of [TS]

◼   ► this here especially because we call [TS]

◼   ► Dean's is now who will sit through a [TS]

◼   ► season of Game of Thrones were so it'll [TS]

◼   ► happen they are they love this little [TS]

◼   ► bird piece which is great because i'm [TS]

◼   ► completely on board with that I'd love a [TS]

◼   ► lot of seventies I can certainly see [TS]

◼   ► like John audiences and people who are [TS]

◼   ► prepared for that sort of a slow burn to [TS]

◼   ► appreciate it properly but i-i-i show [TS]

◼   ► this to my daughter who's 13 angels [TS]

◼   ► minus 14 my son who's 9 was also in the [TS]

◼   ► room and he spent the first hour like [TS]

◼   ► playing roblox he wasn't really paying [TS]

◼   ► attention but she was so bored she made [TS]

◼   ► it to the chest burster seeing as I [TS]

◼   ► insisted that she at least get and then [TS]

◼   ► I just around until Parker got [TS]

◼   ► dispatched as well because you at least [TS]

◼   ► need to see Kaiser what sort of it [TS]

◼   ► trajectory the movies beyond come on [TS]

◼   ► kids watch these people die horrific [TS]

◼   ► yeah [TS]

◼   ► yes you must was that's right it's good [TS]

◼   ► for you it's good for the soul questions [TS]

◼   ► already she was already lost to me at [TS]

◼   ► that point that the interesting thing is [TS]

◼   ► my son who who barely saw any of that [TS]

◼   ► first hour or so of the planetary [TS]

◼   ► exploration he got interested right [TS]

◼   ► around the time the chest burster [TS]

◼   ► happening closed up roadblocks and he [TS]

◼   ► watched the last hour of the movie and [TS]

◼   ► really enjoyed it but that first hour is [TS]

◼   ► so slow and you know I just I just think [TS]

◼   ► that that's it probably lose a lot of [TS]

◼   ► people who watch it I used to think that [TS]

◼   ► to be honest but and the past 10 years [TS]

◼   ► or so whenever we watched it I love the [TS]

◼   ► opening stuff more and more and i think [TS]

◼   ► i know i don't i can't speak to people [TS]

◼   ► generally but i know that for me it's [TS]

◼   ► because it really hits that sweet spot [TS]

◼   ► of space mystery with the space horror [TS]

◼   ► combination and I i just love the [TS]

◼   ► atmosphere of that the claustrophobia [TS]

◼   ► bits the gradual reveal the tiny Clues [TS]

◼   ► you get the hint that they'll do the [TS]

◼   ► spaceship thing which is completely ruin [TS]

◼   ► everything about it because of [TS]

◼   ► Prometheus I can't watch when the scenes [TS]

◼   ► big-time people without thinking of your [TS]

◼   ► God that other movie which in retrospect [TS]

◼   ► actually I wasn't too mad at Prometheus [TS]

◼   ► before until i rewatch daily and after [TS]

◼   ► and then I got very hungry i still have [TS]

◼   ► much for me this I can't bring myself to [TS]

◼   ► watch it it's interesting i kinda liked [TS]

◼   ► it it didn't hate as far as the slow [TS]

◼   ► burn stuff goes I for me I take its seat [TS]

◼   ► sort of sequence by sequence and some of [TS]

◼   ► it works and [TS]

◼   ► some of it I think doesn't the entire [TS]

◼   ► opening where they're actually on the [TS]

◼   ► ship i love it i love that it has a [TS]

◼   ► chance to breathe because likely says [TS]

◼   ► you are discovering things in every [TS]

◼   ► every shot has something you know you [TS]

◼   ► get the human touch of the like the [TS]

◼   ► little drinking birds with one of them [TS]

◼   ► in motion and one of them not and and [TS]

◼   ► all of that stuff the conversations [TS]

◼   ► everything is driving you towards [TS]

◼   ► something and giving you information [TS]

◼   ► about who these people are what the [TS]

◼   ► world is like and then you get the [TS]

◼   ► sequence of them landing on the planet [TS]

◼   ► where you're not really getting anything [TS]

◼   ► except this planet is inhospitable in [TS]

◼   ► this land is very loud [TS]

◼   ► yea so lots of alerts i was really bored [TS]

◼   ► during that point because it was slow [TS]

◼   ► and wasn't giving us any information i'm [TS]

◼   ► fine with slow as long as I'm getting [TS]

◼   ► something out of it [TS]

◼   ► can you imagine how long that little [TS]

◼   ► mechanical roosters been dipping his [TS]

◼   ► beak in that glass of internally i [TS]

◼   ► wanted to engineer that big what America [TS]

◼   ► when I rotate around was I mean and I [TS]

◼   ► wrote down this way I feel like a modern [TS]

◼   ► science which movie would do some of [TS]

◼   ► that stuff at the very beginning better [TS]

◼   ► and specifically more detail a little [TS]

◼   ► more mystery and yes a faster pace but I [TS]

◼   ► feel like that was the thing that struck [TS]

◼   ► me is is I just kind of thought I could [TS]

◼   ► see how it could be a little more [TS]

◼   ► detailed that there was some time we're [TS]

◼   ► kind of not a lot was happening and I [TS]

◼   ► did feel to Steve's point that you're [TS]

◼   ► meant to marvel at the scene that now [TS]

◼   ► seems a lot more pedestrian there are [TS]

◼   ► other parts of that I think are really [TS]

◼   ► great i'm not saying this whole movie [TS]

◼   ► would be made better if it was made as a [TS]

◼   ► modern blockbuster good god no I'm not [TS]

◼   ► saying that but I feel like I feel like [TS]

◼   ► it could've been a little more sort of [TS]

◼   ► sci-fi detail to intrigue you at the [TS]

◼   ► beginning that that it is just not there [TS]

◼   ► because i think at the time they figured [TS]

◼   ► it was intriguing enough for a spaceship [TS]

◼   ► landing on my alien planet what more do [TS]

◼   ► you need [TS]

◼   ► when you've got a room full of blinking [TS]

◼   ► lights that's a computer you can you [TS]

◼   ► know but soft landing soft landing soft [TS]

◼   ► landings in the bank sorts of computers [TS]

◼   ► the more lights the computer had better [TS]

◼   ► it is banking and flashing green and [TS]

◼   ► watching [TS]

◼   ► why does that computer breathe in [TS]

◼   ► context in 1979 it's not even that slow [TS]

◼   ► pace like a nineteen seventies indie [TS]

◼   ► movie will take forever and not do [TS]

◼   ► anything sure like to lay blacktop [TS]

◼   ► that's my favorite example nothing [TS]

◼   ► happens that movie and I love it [TS]

◼   ► Steve you you mentioned the influence [TS]

◼   ► and that's one of the points that I want [TS]

◼   ► to really wanted to sort of bring up was [TS]

◼   ► think about I mean how [TS]

◼   ► influential this movie is being for a [TS]

◼   ► start but also Blade Runner and you know [TS]

◼   ► the movie ready Scott made after this he [TS]

◼   ► made this blade runner in the space of [TS]

◼   ► three years two of the most influential [TS]

◼   ► sci-fi movies and in the case of alien [TS]

◼   ► horror movies of all time [TS]

◼   ► that's kind of amazing you know like [TS]

◼   ► almost every movie that's followed since [TS]

◼   ► in those genres has paid some kind of [TS]

◼   ► debts to either alien or blade runner [TS]

◼   ► it's astounding absolutely and half of [TS]

◼   ► that I quite like you made terrible [TS]

◼   ► movies now I thought the Martian was [TS]

◼   ► very very good yeah I i really like the [TS]

◼   ► Martian I i have no i haven't seen that [TS]

◼   ► we're not talking smack about 1492 [TS]

◼   ► conquest of paradise are we but any of [TS]

◼   ► us should be so lucky to make even one [TS]

◼   ► thing half as good as any other of these [TS]

◼   ► movies you know they're just so [TS]

◼   ► influential it's almost hard unless unit [TS]

◼   ► old farts like us and you've lived [TS]

◼   ► through its almost hard to appreciate [TS]

◼   ► this sort of before-and-after alien and [TS]

◼   ► blade on a state alter cinema sci fi ya [TS]

◼   ► know I don't want to suggest there's [TS]

◼   ► anything really wrong with the pacing in [TS]

◼   ► 1979 I think it's actually almost [TS]

◼   ► perfectly paced for the time it was made [TS]

◼   ► it's just doesn't it doesn't really work [TS]

◼   ► i think for a lot of people in today's [TS]

◼   ► audiences got kicked myself forever for [TS]

◼   ► this I did not insist that we watch the [TS]

◼   ► movie in a darkened room away from all [TS]

◼   ► the other distractions and we did that [TS]

◼   ► was because that was because my daughter [TS]

◼   ► did not want to watch it in a darkened [TS]

◼   ► room with the other distractions she was [TS]

◼   ► a little she had some trepidation about [TS]

◼   ► it she's not watched a lot of horror [TS]

◼   ► movies so in order to get to watch it we [TS]

◼   ► had to watch it during the day and I [TS]

◼   ► think if if she had been locked in where [TS]

◼   ► she couldn't get into the other stuff [TS]

◼   ► doing physically locked it i'm not [TS]

◼   ► talking about clapping and irons it's [TS]

◼   ► amazing parenting tips you get from [TS]

◼   ► podcast speaking of darkened rooms [TS]

◼   ► though actually I did even though [TS]

◼   ► obviously I originally saw it on VHS i [TS]

◼   ► have seen it on the big screen because [TS]

◼   ► the local multiplex where i lived in the [TS]

◼   ► early nineties did a double bill of [TS]

◼   ► alien aliens it started at 9pm so you [TS]

◼   ► can imagine what time will roll [TS]

◼   ► out that and how we smelled but the main [TS]

◼   ► thing i remember was how much more [TS]

◼   ► powerful alien particularly was on the [TS]

◼   ► big screen like this was a by that point [TS]

◼   ► I'd already seen the movie fifty a [TS]

◼   ► hundred times but are seeing it on the [TS]

◼   ► big screen was like seeing it for the [TS]

◼   ► first time all over again it was [TS]

◼   ► extraordinary there were a couple of [TS]

◼   ► scenes like for example where the alien [TS]

◼   ► reveal in the air ducts when they when [TS]

◼   ► he kills Dallas was it i mean you know I [TS]

◼   ► knew it was coming and yet seeing get [TS]

◼   ► 30-foot high in a darkened room [TS]

◼   ► surrounded by the dolby surround sound [TS]

◼   ► scared the crap out of me that's such a [TS]

◼   ► beautiful shot [TS]

◼   ► it's fantastic here but there were a few [TS]

◼   ► shots like that where the impact of [TS]

◼   ► seeing them at the theater on the big [TS]

◼   ► screen really made a difference so I [TS]

◼   ► mean what are the chances anybody is [TS]

◼   ► still showing alien as a special showing [TS]

◼   ► on the big screen but if anybody if you [TS]

◼   ► ever get the chance to to see it on the [TS]

◼   ► big screen do so because it really is [TS]

◼   ► extraordinary that was why I was glad i [TS]

◼   ► got to watch in college because we had [TS]

◼   ► you know it was a 35-millimeter print [TS]

◼   ► brought into the you know that the [TS]

◼   ► ballroom was great as great as it is to [TS]

◼   ► see it in the theater I've got to say [TS]

◼   ► the blu-ray of these look fantastic [TS]

◼   ► really does this if I didn't already [TS]

◼   ► have blu-ray this the alien City alien [TS]

◼   ► anthology they call the blu-ray set [TS]

◼   ► quadrille is the quadrille into is a [TS]

◼   ► dvds sorry you're right it's different [TS]

◼   ► made-up word that's it it's a [TS]

◼   ► magnificent set it's very well produced [TS]

◼   ► but the thing that really blows me away [TS]

◼   ► as I spent years watching this on VHS in [TS]

◼   ► and scan you know and pan and scan mrs. [TS]

◼   ► so much of the detail on the fringes and [TS]

◼   ► so much of the framing you know you [TS]

◼   ► don't i had forgotten having only seen [TS]

◼   ► in the theater once when I was seven so [TS]

◼   ► tonight it's unsurprising that i forgot [TS]

◼   ► but but those shots were they're [TS]

◼   ► approaching the derelict spaceship in [TS]

◼   ► pain and scan their boring as all hell [TS]

◼   ► because you only get that tiny little [TS]

◼   ► that tiny little close-up shot of them [TS]

◼   ► approaching the thing when you see it in [TS]

◼   ► its full detail [TS]

◼   ► uh [TS]

◼   ► on the blu-ray you really get the sense [TS]

◼   ► of how gigantic this thing is how tiny [TS]

◼   ► the crew is in comparison and it makes [TS]

◼   ► all the difference in the world [TS]

◼   ► those shots are all about scale and [TS]

◼   ► weird things with scale that whole thing [TS]

◼   ► is like this is much larger than it [TS]

◼   ► should be the body as much larger than [TS]

◼   ► it should be [TS]

◼   ► it's all like that and you you you're [TS]

◼   ► right you completely miss it if it's [TS]

◼   ► just cropped into the infinite little [TS]

◼   ► square and it's gorgeous I mean that the [TS]

◼   ► wreath three and whatever the [TS]

◼   ► remastering that they did on the picture [TS]

◼   ► itself the original movie did not look [TS]

◼   ► that good by any stretch of the [TS]

◼   ► imagination so let's go to the planetoid [TS]

◼   ► I and talk about the crash base ship [TS]

◼   ► because this is one of these I mean that [TS]

◼   ► we don't have that many settings in this [TS]

◼   ► film I mean we're gonna end up on the [TS]

◼   ► Nostromo and people get picked up one by [TS]

◼   ► one but we start with this spaceship and [TS]

◼   ► it's huge and if they see it through the [TS]

◼   ► kind of fog of it you ash can you see [TS]

◼   ► this [TS]

◼   ► there's a spaceship crash they find a [TS]

◼   ► dead alien in a chair it's super weird [TS]

◼   ► it's hard to understand even what you're [TS]

◼   ► seeing it's so strange and and like we [TS]

◼   ► said the scale of it is completely [TS]

◼   ► strange and it's it's a it's a scene [TS]

◼   ► that that is a scene that I could watch [TS]

◼   ► over and over again because it's so [TS]

◼   ► weird and confusing and creepy and i [TS]

◼   ► love that movie is basically saying [TS]

◼   ► figure look at this what do you think [TS]

◼   ► this looks like figure it out which is [TS]

◼   ► what it's what I feel like the scene is [TS]

◼   ► doing it makes the title of the movie [TS]

◼   ► into an adjective rather than and now [TS]

◼   ► it's like an HR giger painting looks [TS]

◼   ► like your penis is an unusual but [TS]

◼   ► otherwise it's a good yeah i lock the [TS]

◼   ► others are so many reasons i love you i [TS]

◼   ► like because it's forcing you to [TS]

◼   ► empathize with the crew and terribly for [TS]

◼   ► feeling what they're feeling is there [TS]

◼   ► exploring and texting and you know that [TS]

◼   ► I don't get that level of connection [TS]

◼   ► with a lot of movies and it's also its [TS]

◼   ► space horror in a way that's perfect for [TS]

◼   ► me because it means i can enjoy being [TS]

◼   ► scared was not being scared to leave the [TS]

◼   ► room after works because something's [TS]

◼   ► going to get me it's that there's enough [TS]

◼   ► of a disconnect that's why i'm not a fan [TS]

◼   ► of slasher movies because like that the [TS]

◼   ► world but spaced far that's brilliant [TS]

◼   ► anything can happen space horror because [TS]

◼   ► I'm never going to go into rocket [TS]

◼   ► because I'd be too scared even if i get [TS]

◼   ► so it's fine that's fine [TS]

◼   ► this is [TS]

◼   ► really why I thought this would be a [TS]

◼   ► good introductory horror movie for the [TS]

◼   ► kids because that it's like I said it's [TS]

◼   ► it's light on the blood and it's [TS]

◼   ► entirely happening somewhere that looks [TS]

◼   ► completely unlike their daily [TS]

◼   ► environment so they can disassociate [TS]

◼   ► from from anything yes I as a child who [TS]

◼   ► is reasonably easily scared that does [TS]

◼   ► help with the Space Jockey seen talking [TS]

◼   ► about scale this is where they use [TS]

◼   ► children in suits [TS]

◼   ► ah when you see longshots those are [TS]

◼   ► children wearing spacesuits walking [TS]

◼   ► around set to make everything seem [TS]

◼   ► bigger so John Hurt decides hey I know [TS]

◼   ► what I'm gonna do I'm gonna go down [TS]

◼   ► below in this weird thing and find a [TS]

◼   ► whole chamber full of things that look [TS]

◼   ► kinda like eggs [TS]

◼   ► okay and there's things in the end and [TS]

◼   ► it's actually one of the moments that I [TS]

◼   ► really love in this is when he looks at [TS]

◼   ► one at the egg and there's like movement [TS]

◼   ► on the inside [TS]

◼   ► what's in there and it's so great Ridley [TS]

◼   ► Scott's happens that's what's in there [TS]

◼   ► and it's lit up by Pink Floyd's lasers [TS]

◼   ► appear how it works like I like the fact [TS]

◼   ► that the eggs are sweating upwards I've [TS]

◼   ► always thought all looking affect the [TS]

◼   ► thing that I like about it is is sort of [TS]

◼   ► the setup for this that that makes me [TS]

◼   ► not annoyed with his choices because if [TS]

◼   ► this was a sort of a scientific crew [TS]

◼   ► that was supposed to be going out and [TS]

◼   ► investigating new world a new life and [TS]

◼   ► all that kind of stuff i would be super [TS]

◼   ► annoyed somebody who just goes in by [TS]

◼   ► himself and starts poking at crap [TS]

◼   ► oh god don't see Prometheus this is a [TS]

◼   ► bunch of you know workaday folks who [TS]

◼   ► want to get home and get their money so [TS]

◼   ► then but they're doing what they're told [TS]

◼   ► to do just so that they can get out of [TS]

◼   ► here and this particular character has [TS]

◼   ► some genuine curiosity about this stuff [TS]

◼   ► so he does go in and start looking [TS]

◼   ► around and poking and and I don't have [TS]

◼   ► to be too annoyed at him because you [TS]

◼   ► know that's that's probably what you do [TS]

◼   ► it's called alien and you have a half [TS]

◼   ► hour of just screwed around on a [TS]

◼   ► spaceship you're thinking all right [TS]

◼   ► space movie [TS]

◼   ► where's the alien then my god what [TS]

◼   ► happened [TS]

◼   ► yes if they call this movie like space I [TS]

◼   ► scholars or something and that ice road [TS]

◼   ► spacers something like it seems like [TS]

◼   ► we're kind of going through the plot at [TS]

◼   ► this point so yeah I wanted to to bring [TS]

◼   ► in how much I appreciate having seen it [TS]

◼   ► a million times how well they do the ash [TS]

◼   ► plotline and how subtle the indications [TS]

◼   ► that he's not entirely human [TS]

◼   ► yeah kind of come in as you go along [TS]

◼   ► like and how he sort of suddenly pushing [TS]

◼   ► them to go investigate even though [TS]

◼   ► nobody really is that into it except for [TS]

◼   ► Cain like a there's a point early on [TS]

◼   ► where they land the ship has been [TS]

◼   ► damaged and Dallas a like well we can I [TS]

◼   ► think it's actually can says we can't go [TS]

◼   ► out and this because it's a you know [TS]

◼   ► it's nighttime and it's cold and the [TS]

◼   ► winds of space or blowing him and asks [TS]

◼   ► hopefully chimes in well mother says the [TS]

◼   ► sun's coming up in 20 minutes [TS]

◼   ► she's the one who also persuade your [TS]

◼   ► coast character that he should so they [TS]

◼   ► should investigate the beacon remember [TS]

◼   ► when they're right [TS]

◼   ► no just telling them all that yeah that [TS]

◼   ► we've had the SOS and he's like well [TS]

◼   ► that's not in my contract and ashes on [TS]

◼   ► his life actually it is and if you don't [TS]

◼   ► go you'll lose all your shares right [TS]

◼   ► money and really wants to go out and [TS]

◼   ► inform them that it's a warning and not [TS]

◼   ► a got call for help and he's the one who [TS]

◼   ► have chimes and well it's not much point [TS]

◼   ► in going after him by the time you get [TS]

◼   ► out there they'll know whether it's a [TS]

◼   ► warning or not so you know no bother [TS]

◼   ► ok I really have to go watch this again [TS]

◼   ► because all of this i mean i'm not [TS]

◼   ► exactly good at picking up and sort of [TS]

◼   ► plot hints that this is a luchshe never [TS]

◼   ► note and then later Ripley won't let [TS]

◼   ► them back in which is 100-percent the [TS]

◼   ► correct thing to do slightly round and [TS]

◼   ► ok just taps on the little opener go on [TS]

◼   ► in uh-huh i think my favorite to my [TS]

◼   ► favorite early bit like this is when [TS]

◼   ► he's getting ready to take his position [TS]

◼   ► at the console to watch the away team go [TS]

◼   ► out he does this really weird little jog [TS]

◼   ► in play before he heads over there and [TS]

◼   ► it's it seems completely unnatural it's [TS]

◼   ► like he's got some sort of a glitch in [TS]

◼   ► his system and he's like somehow by [TS]

◼   ► moving is his bits around he's like [TS]

◼   ► breaking rust or something [TS]

◼   ► I think that's meant to be i mean i [TS]

◼   ► don't know but i I've always wanted [TS]

◼   ► thought that's meant to be a signal to [TS]

◼   ► us for later that there is something [TS]

◼   ► wrong with him that he is malfunctioning [TS]

◼   ► because you're right there's no it's not [TS]

◼   ► like he's about to go on any kind of [TS]

◼   ► physical activity there's no point to it [TS]

◼   ► whatsoever i think that's one of this is [TS]

◼   ► one of the things that this movie does [TS]

◼   ► very well to add this entire plot point [TS]

◼   ► about ash and about the reason that this [TS]

◼   ► is all happening and I this is one of [TS]

◼   ► those cases where I think a modern movie [TS]

◼   ► would completely mess this up because [TS]

◼   ► they would a modern movie would say well [TS]

◼   ► we need to have all these reversals of [TS]

◼   ► about how they all got set up and they [TS]

◼   ► need to find out that this was always [TS]

◼   ► set up in the beginning and it needs I I [TS]

◼   ► just feel like a modern movie would [TS]

◼   ► really do a bad job of this because it [TS]

◼   ► would make they would make it more [TS]

◼   ► integral to the plot in and and the fact [TS]

◼   ► is it's not necessary it to have this [TS]

◼   ► happen it's it's cool that it happens we [TS]

◼   ► don't need a reason why we have a movie [TS]

◼   ► where a spaceship lands on a planet and [TS]

◼   ► they get infected with an alien and [TS]

◼   ► kills them all but uh but it's a nice [TS]

◼   ► bit of additional seasoning to vote to [TS]

◼   ► the reason why it happens there was a [TS]

◼   ► conspiracy it you know these people were [TS]

◼   ► set up and then you get the reveal with [TS]

◼   ► ash which is such a great sci-fi moment [TS]

◼   ► in a horror movie that it's great I just [TS]

◼   ► I feel like it is the it is a perfect [TS]

◼   ► level of integration with the plot that [TS]

◼   ► a modern movie would screw up because [TS]

◼   ► they try to do too much with it [TS]

◼   ► this is why when I show this to this to [TS]

◼   ► people who already know about the chest [TS]

◼   ► burster seen I'm not too bothered by [TS]

◼   ► that because the ash reveal is so well [TS]

◼   ► so what just happened all surprises [TS]

◼   ► because that I mean he's spinning around [TS]

◼   ► and there's fluid shooting everywhere [TS]

◼   ► don't even have the time to really deal [TS]

◼   ► with that Parker Knox's head [TS]

◼   ► yeah an air tank was some kind it's a [TS]

◼   ► fire extinguisher or something yeah his [TS]

◼   ► head flies off and he's like doing the [TS]

◼   ► chicken with his head cut off things [TS]

◼   ► with his hands [TS]

◼   ► it's great they use the white fluid [TS]

◼   ► because red would look too much like [TS]

◼   ► blood but that white fluid is really [TS]

◼   ► disturbing shit is like shooting out of [TS]

◼   ► his mouth while he's trying to talk it's [TS]

◼   ► so great being blowed that's so great [TS]

◼   ► now I mean that and that's where that's [TS]

◼   ► that's where we won't talk about mixing [TS]

◼   ► genres i love that the science-fiction [TS]

◼   ► aspect it's layered back in on it's [TS]

◼   ► almost like we start with a base coat [TS]

◼   ► base coat of of sci-fi then we lay some [TS]

◼   ► horror on top of that and then here we [TS]

◼   ► get the sci-fi on top of that again it's [TS]

◼   ► like what the f what everybody still [TS]

◼   ► pretty horrible it is always horrible [TS]

◼   ► but it's like sci-fi horrible and that's [TS]

◼   ► thatthat's this movie is nice layering [TS]

◼   ► of different source port as well because [TS]

◼   ► you've got you've got the alien and then [TS]

◼   ► you've got you the sense that their [TS]

◼   ► cooperation is not super great and then [TS]

◼   ► you've got scary android malfunction and [TS]

◼   ► trying to kill you as well as that is [TS]

◼   ► it's top surface layers within the Clery [TS]

◼   ► bits i also love how when they reconnect [TS]

◼   ► his head even though he's inside look [TS]

◼   ► completely organic you know he sort of [TS]

◼   ► like some weird sci-fi organic surgeries [TS]

◼   ► and but they still basically use jump [TS]

◼   ► leads so yeah I'm gonna take me is [TS]

◼   ► inside look like mostly like tubes and [TS]

◼   ► boba for some reason I've never really [TS]

◼   ► quite understood its gross that's what [TS]

◼   ► the insides of people look like Robonaut [TS]

◼   ► one of the things that I think most most [TS]

◼   ► interesting about the the [TS]

◼   ► special-edition DVDs that have the [TS]

◼   ► deleted scenes as you really get a sense [TS]

◼   ► of how well directed and edited this [TS]

◼   ► film was and and and the ash reveal i [TS]

◼   ► think is a perfect example of that [TS]

◼   ► because there was a an early scene i [TS]

◼   ► forget if it actually was a deleted [TS]

◼   ► scene if it was just something that got [TS]

◼   ► clipped out of the script but there's a [TS]

◼   ► scene somewhere early on where Ripley [TS]

◼   ► and Lambert are discussing whether [TS]

◼   ► either of them has slept with ash [TS]

◼   ► yeah because you know you're on a long [TS]

◼   ► space trip and basically it sounds like [TS]

◼   ► the the standard operating procedures [TS]

◼   ► you just sleep around with whoever's on [TS]

◼   ► the cruise to keep yourself from dying [TS]

◼   ► of boredom and they're both surprised [TS]

◼   ► but not entirely surprised because ash [TS]

◼   ► is kind of a weirdo that neither of them [TS]

◼   ► has actually slept with him and it's [TS]

◼   ► it's it would have been an interesting [TS]

◼   ► scene but at the same time I think it [TS]

◼   ► would have been too telegraphic [TS]

◼   ► right now what is becoming a terrific [TS]

◼   ► Lou and I love the fact that they clip [TS]

◼   ► that out because as much as I'd like to [TS]

◼   ► see that scene and I think it adds an [TS]

◼   ► interesting sort of wrinkle to the life [TS]

◼   ► in space nature of the film the fact [TS]

◼   ► that he took it out i think is is is [TS]

◼   ► very telling as to how how much care was [TS]

◼   ► taken to really make that reveal workout [TS]

◼   ► but the paranoia goes then through this [TS]

◼   ► whole franchise forward and I i love [TS]

◼   ► that aspect of it that that this is not [TS]

◼   ► this is not i just love it's not an [TS]

◼   ► accident that these people people were [TS]

◼   ► horribly killed a corporation decided to [TS]

◼   ► essentially not care if they got killed [TS]

◼   ► because they wanted to get this alien [TS]

◼   ► that's basically the story and and again [TS]

◼   ► it didn't need to happen that way but [TS]

◼   ► that's that's what it is and then we [TS]

◼   ► take for that sort of corporate [TS]

◼   ► malfeasance and people being not as [TS]

◼   ► important as prophets talk about them [TS]

◼   ► talking about money in the beginning in [TS]

◼   ► the end this is this is a another [TS]

◼   ► financial calculations that's being had [TS]

◼   ► that is exposing them to this work it's [TS]

◼   ► just an attempt and began use again is [TS]

◼   ► one of the most influential things in [TS]

◼   ► the movie like you know as someone who [TS]

◼   ► has worked on a lot of sci-fi and horror [TS]

◼   ► and sci-fi our properties let me tell [TS]

◼   ► you oh yeah oh my goodness with the [TS]

◼   ► corporation's looking for weaponized [TS]

◼   ► supernatural things and prepared to [TS]

◼   ► sacrifice the search party at every [TS]

◼   ► video game right quickly share price [TS]

◼   ► such a cliché right now it's amazing i [TS]

◼   ► think it's interesting that that whole [TS]

◼   ► storyline the whole ash thing was not [TS]

◼   ► part of the script that dan o'bannon and [TS]

◼   ► run shoes that put together but it was [TS]

◼   ► something that was suggested and then [TS]

◼   ► almost forced into the story by David [TS]

◼   ► Eyler and walter hill and I i don't [TS]

◼   ► think the an abandoned was particularly [TS]

◼   ► fond of it but it was something that [TS]

◼   ► they thought was a great idea and they [TS]

◼   ► said insisted on and I think it's [TS]

◼   ► frankly one of the best things in the [TS]

◼   ► movie yeah I think that was the right [TS]

◼   ► choice [TS]

◼   ► yeah he still cashing the checks yeah [TS]

◼   ► that's just it just puts another spin [TS]

◼   ► it's not it's another thing in the pot [TS]

◼   ► right it's just another thing that's [TS]

◼   ► happening like it's a it's not just that [TS]

◼   ► monster is killing people but it's like [TS]

◼   ► and somebody on the ship is setting it [TS]

◼   ► up so that that's okay because the [TS]

◼   ► bosses don't care but i love the fact [TS]

◼   ► that there aren't like a bunch of scenes [TS]

◼   ► like a of that makes it obvious that [TS]

◼   ► there's a mole on the crew it's just [TS]

◼   ► something that suddenly appear yeah [TS]

◼   ► ashes head flies off [TS]

◼   ► yeah that milk is applied everywhere [TS]

◼   ► like oh my god what's going on here [TS]

◼   ► it's when he tries to kill quickly that [TS]

◼   ► it's really right that's yes first real [TS]

◼   ► revelation is like I'm gonna sing but [TS]

◼   ► that leads immediately into his eyes and [TS]

◼   ► that's one long scene he tries to kill [TS]

◼   ► Ripley after we see the memo that says [TS]

◼   ► crew expendable [TS]

◼   ► yeah that's just what we talked about [TS]

◼   ► how well written and directed and edited [TS]

◼   ► and shot this movie is it's also got a [TS]

◼   ► ridiculously incredible cast [TS]

◼   ► yep yeah this movie was made 37 years [TS]

◼   ► ago and every human actor in it had a [TS]

◼   ► great career [TS]

◼   ► except for Yaphet Kotto they're all [TS]

◼   ► still working in big properties today [TS]

◼   ► and avocados heard the right to take [TS]

◼   ► some time off if he wants like you can't [TS]

◼   ► just have Harry Dean Stanton and John [TS]

◼   ► Hurt and homer standing around this [TS]

◼   ► movie does yeah they're not that [TS]

◼   ► important well any major starts to go [TS]

◼   ► any waiver you know you have cool did so [TS]

◼   ► that just looks like let's talk about [TS]

◼   ► Sigourney Weaver she is so great as we [TS]

◼   ► have talked about her a lot partially [TS]

◼   ► because we've been listening victims the [TS]

◼   ► final girl she doesn't qualify [TS]

◼   ► yeah you got your head fake right where [TS]

◼   ► she's just part of the crew but of [TS]

◼   ► course she's the one who survives and [TS]

◼   ► and and dallas has taken fairly quickly [TS]

◼   ► and it is this and she ends up being the [TS]

◼   ► one who makes everything happen in this [TS]

◼   ► in this movie and ends up being I know [TS]

◼   ► it did make a star of her and you can [TS]

◼   ► watch it you're like yep [TS]

◼   ► yeah i mean totally makes sense that [TS]

◼   ► yeah of course ripley earned her [TS]

◼   ► survival it's not like she just happens [TS]

◼   ► to be the last one she was correct so [TS]

◼   ► awfully out a lot of times in horror [TS]

◼   ► movies it is just a random girl who [TS]

◼   ► survives and I really appreciate that [TS]

◼   ► Ripley was smart and just yet barely [TS]

◼   ► smart enough to survive and I really [TS]

◼   ► liked it there wasn't anything [TS]

◼   ► incredibly like grand in her and what [TS]

◼   ► she chooses do is just a loss of times [TS]

◼   ► she makes very small decisions end up [TS]

◼   ► being the correct ones and it's that [TS]

◼   ► accumulation of all of them together [TS]

◼   ► that I her to survive rather than having [TS]

◼   ► a grand revolution moment of oh and this [TS]

◼   ► is i will save myself and sat down the [TS]

◼   ► cat and back away [TS]

◼   ► come to this decision is here that [TS]

◼   ► there's a lovely piece of this direction [TS]

◼   ► as well because you really want is right [TS]

◼   ► for the last 15 minutes of the movie [TS]

◼   ► she's the only actor on screen out you [TS]

◼   ► know apart from the guy in the alien [TS]

◼   ► sushi carries the whole rest of the [TS]

◼   ► movie but there is a lovely misdirection [TS]

◼   ► before that where is just her partner [TS]

◼   ► and lumber left and she goes off by [TS]

◼   ► herself looking for the cats looking for [TS]

◼   ► Jones and Parker Lambert are paired up [TS]

◼   ► and up until this point the alien is [TS]

◼   ► only picked off alone people so you know [TS]

◼   ► you naturally expect that she is gonna [TS]

◼   ► be the one who buys it next [TS]

◼   ► so that of course you know she doesn't [TS]

◼   ► she's busy triggering the third cat [TS]

◼   ► scare in the movie does like a literal [TS]

◼   ► cats care less where mystery but i think [TS]

◼   ► that's a lovely reversal to sort of you [TS]

◼   ► know again just kind of play with the [TS]

◼   ► audience's expectations [TS]

◼   ► although it is a little depressing that [TS]

◼   ► she sends the two of them off to collect [TS]

◼   ► coolant which apparently they don't need [TS]

◼   ► because she takes none of it with her [TS]

◼   ► onto the shuttle right i wish i would [TS]

◼   ► have been able to see this not knowing i [TS]

◼   ► mean we already talked about the chest [TS]

◼   ► burster see which of course I a new but [TS]

◼   ► I also didn't I didn't ever see it [TS]

◼   ► without knowing that sigourney weaver [TS]

◼   ► was going to survive because you know [TS]

◼   ► she went on to make the second movie so [TS]

◼   ► I hadn't even put that together that the [TS]

◼   ► movie is playing with your expectations [TS]

◼   ► when she goes off by herself because my [TS]

◼   ► expectations were always just that she [TS]

◼   ► would survive so okay good job [TS]

◼   ► filmmakers a even better than I thought [TS]

◼   ► but one thing i really like is the [TS]

◼   ► double back that happens we're so the [TS]

◼   ► idea is ok there's only three of us left [TS]

◼   ► we're gonna self-destruct and we're [TS]

◼   ► going to get out in the shuttle and that [TS]

◼   ► doesn't go well but yeah but Ripley [TS]

◼   ► starts to self-destruct which is cool [TS]

◼   ► nice little bit of of uh of set design [TS]

◼   ► and and prop design there with the whole [TS]

◼   ► like it is intricate is so tactile right [TS]

◼   ► now physical of course in an essential [TS]

◼   ► part of the self-destruct system is to [TS]

◼   ► turn on fog machines and strobe lights [TS]

◼   ► the entire shipment she's she's not just [TS]

◼   ► flipping switches and you know she's [TS]

◼   ► actually moving things and pushing [TS]

◼   ► things and yeah I just pulling things [TS]

◼   ► out of the ground is wonderful as a lot [TS]

◼   ► of disco lights to turn on but then but [TS]

◼   ► then what was great is she finds out [TS]

◼   ► uh-oh you know here's the they're dead [TS]

◼   ► the alien is here i love that she goes [TS]

◼   ► back to try and turn off the [TS]

◼   ► self-destruct and you get the ticket so [TS]

◼   ► you don't just get the countdown to [TS]

◼   ► destroy [TS]

◼   ► action you get the countdown to when [TS]

◼   ► it's a replicable that it's going to be [TS]

◼   ► destroyed and she fails she does she [TS]

◼   ► doesn't get it so at that point she's [TS]

◼   ► like I guess I gotta get my cat and get [TS]

◼   ► out of here i just i love that we get to [TS]

◼   ► countdowns there and we get the the like [TS]

◼   ► okay plan a and then planet doesn't work [TS]

◼   ► she's like all right I guess I'll go [TS]

◼   ► turn it off [TS]

◼   ► hope that didn't work either now I'll go [TS]

◼   ► i love how it's going to definitely [TS]

◼   ► pissed off she is at that moment too [TS]

◼   ► soon ashes mother's monitor and then the [TS]

◼   ► whole way back down the hall towards the [TS]

◼   ► cat she's screaming and shouting [TS]

◼   ► obscenities fantastic i love that she [TS]

◼   ► takes care of the cat during all this [TS]

◼   ► many lesser hero would have just left [TS]

◼   ► the poor thing to die but no no she news [TS]

◼   ► priorities cat lucky [TS]

◼   ► oh I love the cat throughout i love the [TS]

◼   ► cat III have this in my notes I went to [TS]

◼   ► mention we brought up the county few [TS]

◼   ► times i love the cat i love the first [TS]

◼   ► time we see the cat where it's like [TS]

◼   ► there's this bright orange cat on this [TS]

◼   ► spaceship it's like whoa what is this [TS]

◼   ► movie like like I I could accept aliens [TS]

◼   ► bursting out of people's just but people [TS]

◼   ► just kind of have a cat on the spaceship [TS]

◼   ► it's great and strange and then they use [TS]

◼   ► the cat for scares and then she saves [TS]

◼   ► the cat I love everything about having [TS]

◼   ► the cat and the cat is a metaphor for [TS]

◼   ► ripley's humanity [TS]

◼   ► the cat is Ripley's weakness and if she [TS]

◼   ► would have let its size you have a much [TS]

◼   ► better time in the next two movies and [TS]

◼   ► Liz she does leave it in harm's way if [TS]

◼   ► you watch the directors cut the [TS]

◼   ► director's cut has the scene where the [TS]

◼   ► alien finds the captain like bats [TS]

◼   ► suicide because it's not arrested which [TS]

◼   ► thank God they cut out because to me all [TS]

◼   ► these are free and where were you just [TS]

◼   ► see the alien creeping up on the cat and [TS]

◼   ► then it cuts away before you see it [TS]

◼   ► knock it away is I originally was sure [TS]

◼   ► that the cat had been implanted with an [TS]

◼   ► alien in some ride huh [TS]

◼   ► and that that was going to be that the [TS]

◼   ► false ending at the end is going to be [TS]

◼   ► the cat you know looking creepy or maybe [TS]

◼   ► having something burst out of its chest [TS]

◼   ► for the sequel alien to an attack [TS]

◼   ► exactly by the way where does the [TS]

◼   ► cabbage leaf initially is there a little [TS]

◼   ► kitty ago [TS]

◼   ► well yes I hope so that that's that's [TS]

◼   ► headcanon must be in somebody's pod [TS]

◼   ► somebody gets hurt [TS]

◼   ► I think there's a little kitty sleep [TS]

◼   ► party party [TS]

◼   ► kitty but what's good everybody gets one [TS]

◼   ► ship cat that's that's to cut you know [TS]

◼   ► why it's there and it's to kill its to [TS]

◼   ► kill all the rats that are on that you [TS]

◼   ► can hope to be a contributor on it or [TS]

◼   ► ship dog [TS]

◼   ► it doesn't have to be a cap any animal [TS]

◼   ► i'm sure glad I don't know i think they [TS]

◼   ► have a rodent dog hairs on the Nostromo [TS]

◼   ► and they need a cat too just to kill [TS]

◼   ► them to kill the rats on this room space [TS]

◼   ► rats the ranch save the that's the other [TS]

◼   ► fantastic reversal in the movie when [TS]

◼   ► they first go hunting for the alien you [TS]

◼   ► think that they're still looking for [TS]

◼   ► something about the size of a rat [TS]

◼   ► yes I'm going all you've seen is the [TS]

◼   ► chest poster and they think that [TS]

◼   ► obviously that is the most groan worthy [TS]

◼   ► scene in the movie where there's like [TS]

◼   ► the little puppet that they dragged [TS]

◼   ► across the floor and strengthen the best [TS]

◼   ► set to ruin the whole chest / seem to be [TS]

◼   ► the very first time I saw it because [TS]

◼   ► that was also explain [TS]

◼   ► there's this ridiculous little thing [TS]

◼   ► running across the screen before it [TS]

◼   ► happened so then we could all laughed [TS]

◼   ► and I was like okay that's great [TS]

◼   ► so having seen in the theater in 1979 i [TS]

◼   ► can tell you that that scene was [TS]

◼   ► actually surprisingly effective her and [TS]

◼   ► it was specifically because everybody [TS]

◼   ► lost their stuff in alien popped out [TS]

◼   ► right and then words it's across the [TS]

◼   ► table in that ridiculous fashion its [TS]

◼   ► comic relief everybody interesting and [TS]
