    I remember seeing Alien (1) again about a year ago. What struck me the most is how obviously the alien is actually a guy in a suit, lol.

    Or how little action of any of description takes place.

    And how long it takes before the audience is introduced to the creature.

    That's what I loved about it though. The mystery and the delayed gratification. It has a more classic feel.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Alien was intended as a suspense/horror movie. Cameron turned the series to the action genre with Aliens. Don't get me wrong, Aliens is a fun flick, but I preferred the first.

    Well, it was 1979 after all.

    Hohoho, ALien was more of an ode to the classics of the fifties, ALiens on the other hand was a thing of it's own. For the time it was much more groundbreaking than the original, anyone who was born 2 years before the original can tell you that

    What is "Classified Personnel?" The facial recognition software of the future is really slow.

    Saw Huntsman Saturday. Charlize did pretty good but no one was that great. Looking forward to this fairy tale too. Not sure what to think about Mad Max 4.
