    I love that you two showed such sympathy for Lambert. Lots of viewers bag on her for panicking and freezing up, but her response is entirely believable (and probably what many humans would do in that situation). It's refreshing to see reviewers who identify with her and are willing to say so.

    I saw this back in 1979. I was 11. My dad took me. It's impossible to describe how absolutely terrorfying this movie was in pitch black movie theater with an audience that had NO idea what the movie was about or what was going to happen. The chestburster scene was shocking.

    In 1979 there were twelve of us, all “tough” guys, all around 17 years old. During the scene in the dining room when the future alien is "born", we "tough" guys stood vertically in the air.
    And the rest of the audience was on or under the seats. According to my information, only John Hurt knew what was going to happen. The others' horror was absolutely real.
    The film plays in the old, brilliant Hitchcock style, with subtle horror until the last second. The film is still a milestone today and will certainly remain so for a long time.

    I eventually saw it in my teens when it was shown on tele. I couldn't believe how amazing the sets and the photography of it was... is. Also, Jerry Goldsmith's brilliant score adds to the tension and palpable claustrophobia. And the shock reveal of Ash being an Android, I was like, WTAF?!! 😨

    One brilliant thing about this movie, is just how often the Alien is fully on screen and the viewer doesn't even see it until it moves. remember when Brett is searching for Jonesy and we suddenly cut toa top view with a bunch of dangling chains? The Alien is right in full view, hanging onto one of the chains but it's easy to miss even if you know it's there.

    In 1974 the creator of Alien, Dan O'Bannon, performed in John Carpenter's debut film, a cult comedy called Dark Star which he co-wrote with Carpenter. It has an extensive sequence involving O'Bannon's character trying to catch his escaped pet alien and ends up chasing it around the spaceship; which became the inspiration for Alien.

    In today's world, supersized oil seafaring tankers have a crew complement of about 20 people. No passengers to babysit.

    In the novelization of the film, the reason the alien did not see Jones as a threat or try to kill him is because it saw Jones as a worthy creature like him. A hunter as it were. That's the reason it didn't kill Jonesy. Besides, how could anyone do that to a sweet kitty?

  • @colinwest3301

    The Alien sheads it's skin once and grows to over eight feet tall in less than 48 hours. Imagine how much that must hurt. It has concentrated acid for blood. And it's bones are on the outside. Open space won't kill it. This one is a warrior and like insects it has a certain function. But being alone it just kills to survive. In the special edition or deleted sceens. You would see another way it could have went. But it is saved for the next film Aliens. Please make sure to watch Aliens Special Edition. And the assembly cut of Alien 3, which is 53 minutes longer than the studio theatrical cut and gives the true vision of the director.

    The Facehugger in the egg was done with Ridley Scott lying on the floor with a pair of marigolds on inside the egg twitching his hands .👍👍👍 also they used I belive Ridleys kids in tiny spacesuits to shoot the scene where they find the Space jockey ( creature in the chair ) to make it seem bigger than it was and I saw a brilliant behind the scenes photo of Sigourney Weaver and Ian Holm both cracking up before they shot the scene where Ash is revealed , also the actor who played the Alien was a man called Balaji Badejo who was an African student who was drinking in a pub thd crew were in , Balaji was very tall and slim and perfect to play the Xenomorph.

    The reason the crew didn't try to kill the Xenomorph (Alien) by, for eaxmple shooting it, is because the Facehugger bled acid, which the full grown version definitivley have. If they shot the Alien, the blood would have eaten through the hull and the hole would have sucked the air out into space and they die from suffocation.

    I first saw this movie in the theater when it was released, and I saw it on the Big Screen. We had not seen anything like it before, and it had us on the edge of our seats for the whole movie. Plus, there was NO CGI. Ridley Scott did it all in camera. Now, in the modern movies, aliens are all CGI, not scary, and there are no new scary aliens. This movie, ALIEN, set the bar for all space alien movie. Stars Wars had already been released, and that was a space action movie. ALIEN was the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACER IN SPACE Horror Movie, with the crew being taken out one by one, and no place to hide. Even today, it's a thriller to watch.
    Not bad, for a movie that had only an $8 Million dollar budget movie.

    The new movie, Alien: Romulus, happens in between Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986). Personally, I found it was a genuinely good movie despite a few things that were annoying like the heavy numbers of callbacks to other movies in the series, it's now my 3rd favorite after Alien and Aliens. It's not a masterpiece, but I love how they heavily used practical effects, kept the first Alien aesthetic and the movie mostly works. I would recommend it.

    Ok, Liam and Steph.
    First, great reaction. You were engaged the whole way through, which made your reaction genuine.
    Next up is ALIENS. Make sure you watch the director's cut for the full experience and information left out of the theatrical release.
    ALIEN 3,
    ALIEN RESURRECTION, all have Sigourney Weaver. The sequels after the second film are a little uneven, but you can judge for yourselves.
    Then comes PROMETHEUS and ALIEN COVENANT. These are more modern takes on the ALIEN mythology, but the special effects are terrifying. Which leaves the newest film in the franchise ALIEN ROMULUS. It is designed to fit between the first ALIEN movie and ALIENS to take advantage of the time line in-betweenthe two movies.
    James Cameron directed the sequel ALIENS to give you some warning.
    Keep going and enjoy the movies.

    Seeing this again, I have thought about it and have some questions. How did Weyland Yutani know about the Alien and what it could do and how hostile it was? Had they already experimented with people to see what would happen? As far as the movie suggests, Kane was the first to discover them in their first stage. How would Weylan Yutani know they were extremely dangerous and hostile and that they gestate in a living host? The second movie also suggests the company didn't know about the Aliens as they sent a colony of humans on LV 426 to set up a life there. Of course, it's quite possible the writers of the movie just didn't bother thinking of such questions and nobody is particularly bothered about it, but it does leave some interesting holes in the story.

    The chest burster scene was done with John Hurts head and arms poking through a hole in the table ( John Hurt was a very good contortionist and able to bend his body about ) he had a fake torso attached to him which the chest burster would come out from they used a scalpel to cut the torsos t shirt but they did not cut deep enough which is why the chest burster prop take 2 goes to emerge , the cast where given very scant information about how to Alien emerges and were totally shocked to give them really shocked reaction so their looks of horror are really genuine , apparently they arrived on set for that scene all the crew had raincoats on and the cameras had plastic sheeting over them the 2 producers and writers were giggling like schoolboys , the shot of blood squirting over Lambert was not meant to happen but they left it in as it looked really realistic , I love the close up shot of the chest burster with Kanes hands twitching behind the Alien such an iconic scene in an iconic movie .

    Alien 3
    Alien Resurrection
    Prometheus
    Alien Covenant
    And then the latest
    Alien Romulus
    Some are much better than others but all worth a go and judge for yourselfs.
    If you do want to miss some and skip to Alien Romulus then make sure you watch Aliens, Prometheus and Alien Covenant before.
    If you want to go full out.
    Also watch the Predator movies and then
    Alien Vs Predator (AvP)
    Alien Vs Predator Requiem.
    But they don't really go with the continuity of the main franchise.

    I was 16 in 1979. Back then, previews weren't the spoilerfests they are now, and all you saw in the TV ad was a slow zoom-in on the egg and the phrase `"In space, no one can hear you scream". My friends and I went to see Alien on the very first screening of opening night. What a ride !
    I must admit I had a few nightmares after that.

    You are just great. I quite liked it. This is the prefect "real" reaction to this Sci-Fi-/Horror-Classic. The 1st ALIEN is my favrite of the series, especially due to the famous Jerry Goldsmith score which combines a very lyrical/atmospheric approach ("space") with pure horror (Alien), even knowing Jerry had major arguments with R. Scott about replacing/removing some his music cues.

    As for the Nostromo crew dynamic that you keyed on so often; the writers, director and cast created an environment that, combined with the claustrophobic sets, result in a building tension that , as the film progresses, develops into another character itself.

    What a wonderful reaction! Your reactions were very genuine and reminiscent of my own as a 15 year old who saw this opening weekend at the theater in 1979. It was the most frightening and exhilarating cinematic experience of my life. H.R. Giger's biomechanics world was nothing the world had ever seen before up until this film. The twisted melding of humanity and its technology and the faceless, soulless power of the Corporation and its dehumanization of humanity is a powerful message that resonates with me then and now. His art is a warning. This film is a masterpiece.

    Nice reaction. Makes me wish I was watching it for the first time as well, it’s that good of a movie. Once the alien appears out of Kane, the tension does not let up! Also, I like to think the alien saw the cat as a fellow predator and so left it alone. It can’t do anything with it biologically anyway.

  • @DailyDamage
    @DailyDamage Месяц назад +1

    I’m gonna write a couple of comments throughout the viewing, before I forget my train of thought.
    The reveal of the dead alien in the massive chair made everyone say: what is that? (Oh, and when “the only sane one says: let’s get out of here…, we aaaaaall say: yup, fabulous idea 😂
    Ridley fought for this as he needed the budget increased, so that he could build that set.
    I seem to recall him saying something like: This is the moment when the audience realizes they’re not in a cheap, run of the mill monster movie, this was something else.
    He was so right, this just made everything more tense as you now really didn’t know what was coming as everything felt so dang real.
    PS: Three children were used for the scenes of them walking around the chair, it made the scene appear even larger because of that. Good old old school trickery Pokery 😊

    Ah man you guys are quickly becoming my favorite reactors. You really watch and catch details and recall them later when they're relevant. I think I remember Steph mentioning she likes action, so I hope you both do Aliens. It's a bit more action-y. It's one of the greatest sequels ever made and a lot of people think it's better than the original. I myself go back and forth.

    I love how in older movies there were less special effects and cgi. I know the Alien director fought for the insane amount of practical effects they did. But for me it's knowing the actors had an actual set and Alien to interact with. Same with the Princess Bride and such.

"Blade Runner" (1982), "Gladiator" (2000), "Black Hawk Down" (2001), "The Martian" (2015), "The Last Duel" (2021), and "House of Gucci" (2021), are just a few of his films that I've seen.

    Young folks can’t quite understand what it was like in 1979. Access to media was quite limited. No streaming. VCRs weren’t common. Even cable TV had limited reach. Few production studios. But, HBO was a thing. As a 9 year old, this movie was off limits. Until it came on HBO at a friends house one night. Let me tell you - the sounds of the sirens on the ship burned their way into my soul. Absolutely terrifying. Love that it’s still holding up for the current generation.

    An AMAZING score composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Orchestrated by Arthur Morton(who gets such growls out of the orchestra).

This is another film that had to suffer the wrath of Ridley Scott interfering with the score("Legend", which is also scored by Goldsmith but also scored by German Rock group Tangerine Dream).
