The Nostromo is basically just a tow truck carrying a mining rig. These are, for the most part, blue-collar working stiffs. Smoking, pets etc. I kinda love that.
@@Stevenroy-Professional-Liar I don't know about "improved," so much as "Did an incredible job taking it in a different direction." Alien is a horror movie. Aliens is a military action-adventure movie. Both are top notch. Which one you will like more probably depends at least as much on your preferences as how "good" the movie is objectively.
24:12 My mom told me to tell my little brother she wanted to talk to him about leaving his toys all over the floor. At the breakfast table we were eating Cocoa Puffs and milk started running down the sides of my mouth and I said to my brother, "Mother wants to talk to you."
The computer is named MU/TH/UR which is the name of the series of operating system. Computers in the 70s used text-based interfaces, not icons--those showed up in the '80s. That's why Ripley/Dallas interact with the computer through word commands, not mouse clicks/touchscreen icons. If THE FOURTH KIND fucked you up, you'd better not watch FIRE IN THE SKY. Ash was a last-minute replacement. The Company needed to redirect the Nostromo on its way home and so they arranged Ash's assignment to the ship before the ship left the mining planet. This was done very long-distance by remote because it was faster than putting together a 1.5 year expedition. This is not a spoiler because you have to do extra-movie homework to learn this. There's an adorable cartoon book called _Jonesy: Nine Lives on the Nostromo_ which basically retells ALIEN from Jonesey's perspective. Which is basically him wandering around the ship being completely oblivious to the larger story and inadvertently evading the Xenomorph by chance.
Mother is just how they refer to the computer controlling the ship, like calling an iPhone Siri. Further alien movies deal with humans vs this alien organism in new and varying circumstances. Ash being a robot is not specifically addressed. He was a company 'man'.
You asked why the corporation wanted to bring the alien species back to earth but asked for no spoilers. But the answer was given in your own edit of this video when Ripley was communicating with the computer. For military weapons research. You must have blinked and missed it. That was the real mission of the Nostromo and the entire purpose of Ash being there.
with the alien on the screen so little, your imagination fills in the blanks ...and scares you FAR WORSE! 😉 they KNOW what they are doing 🤭 your reaction was EXCELLENT, thank you! 👍☺
Jones, also referred to as Jonesy, was a cat kept aboard the USCSS Nostromo as Ellen Ripley's pet. While the cat's official purpose was to control rodents aboard the ship, he also served as a source of relaxation and entertainment for the crew like a theory animal. So, this was the reason why a cat was brought into outer space. Yeah, see the difference between them and me I'll pass up my paycheck I'll go get a new job I'm not putting my life at risk for exploring an unknown world and secondly as soon as I saw that face hugger on that guy's face, I would have been gone I would have stolen the shuttle and left with a cat.

Your dimples in the thumbnail made me think of Rosie Perez so I clicked on it. One of the all time greats kicking off the modern horror sci-fi and the sequel Aliens one of the best action sci-fi.
Mother is the ship computer's name. "Aliens" is a really good sequel you should see it because I'm sure you will like it. I saw this in the theater when it first came out, it is awesome on a big screen with theater sound. I enjoy your reactions a lot, you seem like an authentic and real person, not phony and forced like so many other reactors are.
Excellent reaction Nixairis. When you watch the sequel, 'Aliens' (which is as good as, if not better than 'Alien'), make sure you view the extended version. It makes more sense than the cinema cut. Can't say any more without giving away a few spoilers!
@@zfvr Maybe because it was a random thing. Any commercial ship will have a robot that will take control in special circumstances like if they find alien life.
The sequel films are nowhere near as terrifying as this, but there is a direct sequel in the form of a videogame called Alien Isolation. The only problem with that game is finding the courage to beat it as the scare factor makes Resident Evil feels as scary as Scooby Doo.
Mother is the ship's AI. Ripley is perhaps one of the first kick-ass final girl characters. Your reaction was excellent. And some reactors reacted even worse. One reactor actually jumped out of her chair at one jump scare. You did well. Thank you.
You look a lot like a younger Rosie Perez. I kinda want to see you react to Do The Right Thing and White Men Can't Jump now. 😄 But yeah, Alien definitely put Sigourney Weaver on the map. Aliens, though, took her star to another level.
Halloween bingo card: Alien : check. My Dad took my Mom and me to see this when I was 8. I didn't see much because Mom had her hand over my face for most of it.
Your reaction was excellent! SUBSCRIBE. The Alien director's cut, has a scene that would let you know why Parker said "It was huge". He saw Brett's death. When watching Aliens please watch the director's cut.
Later, if you want to experience something unique, watch the movie "The Thing", (1982), . And another unique movie from the 1980's called "Quest for fire" (1981), .
Ripley is Legend 💯 Alien is forever You are now fully initiated and obligated to watch Aliens jus sayin ..if you want 😊* Enjoyed this 💯 Have a Great Hall🎃ween stay Awesome ⭐️
i was very young when I first saw this alien movie i love it n I had the computer game for it n now I have the game for ps4 but iam stuck on a mission lol
Ok, Nix. The company sent Ash to secure the alien. As a robot, he began to study the specimen for weapons usage for them an advantage no one else would have. The military would also discover other uses based on its biology. The company was simply looking for ways to profit from anything more the mining operation. The eggs produced the face-hugger you first saw, which was itself to Kane's face. It laid an egg in his body and died. The face-huggers only function is the find a hist to lay its egg inside. Next, the chestburster explodes from the host to release the alien. Keep in mind that any warm bodied lifeform can be taken as a host. Which is why Ash, as an artificial being, was never in danger. Then, the xenomorph grows to hunt more people for the process. Make sure you react to the directors cut of ALIENS for the sequel. If this movie made you nervous, the next mobie is worse. Your audience can't wait for it. Keep going and enjoy.
I would disagree that they should have shown the alien more. That would likely produce a very different film and as a result may well not have been as effective in what it was intended to do. Having said that Alien 2 is a different film from this one in many ways. A film which I think most people in the comments section will highly recommend.
If you want more information on Alien. Or any of the movies. Go to Alien theory on RUclips. He has a lot of videos that can help fill in the gaps between things you might have missed or didn't understand. It sure helped me.
A spooky-movie-averse youngster is boarding the "Nostromo." What will she make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? 4:56 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 6:58 We Never get to see "the weapons." 7:05 Canny observers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 7:28 That's the ships cat, Jones. 7:42 Recent "Alien" reactors have referred to the derelict Alien ship as "the Devil's Horseshoe" and "a Forbidden Doughnut.";) 8:50 The Space Jockey, a mystery for years. 10:00 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 10:50 The first jump scare. 11:01 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 11:42 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for years. 12:36 Acid Blood! 14:47 A Props Dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. 16:30 Kane's last meal. 17:21 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences for over 40 years. 17:47 Burial at sea, an old maritime custom that spares next-of-kin the grisly details. 18:56 Along came Jones. 20:07 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 22:12 You're in command, Ripley. 23:45 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 24:54 Most didn't see this coming. 26:43 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 28:13 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 30:53 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 31:25 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. On to "Aliens" (1986)!
Hey, Nixie! This is one of the greatest and most influential horror films of all time! I prefer the original THEATRICAL CUT you saw because I feel it's paced better and lacks a scene which contradicts the sequel. However, the Director's Cut boasts a moment when Veronica Cartwright smacks the cr@p out of Sigourney Weaver which definitely SHOULD HAVE BEEN in the Theatrical Cut! Despite preferring the Theatrical Cut for the first movie, there is ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION that you must watch the SPECIAL EDITION with longer runtime of the sequel, "ALIENS"!!!!!!! There are critical additional scenes that add context to the movie and it is the version director James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver themselves prefer. Director Ridley Scott kept the entire cast in the dark about the famous CHESTBURSTING scene except for John Hurt. Their reactions were absolutely genuine and mirrored the audience's response! Veronica Cartwright got sprayed by fake blood and fell over backward. They only filmed the scene twice. It remains one of the most ICONIC IN CINEMA HISTORY! The PACING is deliberately slow at the beginning to acquaint the audience with the ship's geography, to demonstrate authentic-looking space travel and maneuvers, to familiarize the audience with the crew, to establish the threat posed by the creature and to generate suspense with the mystery of the derelict craft. There's a lot of rich character humor and foreshadowing in those crew interaction scenes as well as a subtext about this future society being a corporate dystopia. "Alien" is set in the year 2122. This movie and "Star Wars" changed the future aesthetic from antiseptic cleanliness to lived-in, worn-out dinginess. The smoking is meant to convey that space travel has become commonplace enough that it is the province of workaday laymen. The Swiss artist, H.R. GIGER, who designed the xenomorph, tapped into insectoid and reptilian features that evoke primal fear. His artwork is very bizarre, erotic and has a distinctive look called Giger-esque. The final product is an iconic movie monster that is pure NIGHTMARE FUEL! The creature's life-cycle and biology is explored throughout the series. By the way, the alien's retractable inner jaw is found in nature in a deep-sea fish! THE WEYLAND-YUTANI COMPANY is an international conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar travel and terra-forming. They have a stake in every colony world and are basically the 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. They are a ruthless corporation looking to exploit or weaponize the xenomorph for profit regardless of the negative consequences. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of all the Alien movies. In the "AvP" films, you actually meet the company founders before their merger, Mr. Weyland and Ms. Yutani. This crew is not a group of explorers, scientists or colonists. They're just SPACE TRUCKERS hauling rocks. This was a First Contact situation they were wholly unqualified for. Hence, all the bumbling and bad judgment calls. Their chief concerns were company policy and pay inequity. Ripley was the only one with the willingness to make difficult command decisions that would have saved all their lives except for Kane's had she not been undermined by Ash. Of course, Ash was privy to a secret corporate mandate. Like most Captains, Dallas had an inherently CALM DEMEANOR. By minimizing the situation, it prevents both him and the crew from panicking. You can tell he's very worried because he seeks counsel from Muthur, the Company-wide AI Operating System. He also acknowledges his culpability for the predicament by preventing Ripley from volunteering to go into the shafts and by shouldering that burden himself. He accepted this task not even knowing if fire would be effective! His last act is a rather valiant gesture and I always feel bad for him despite his initial missteps. Parker is MY FAVORITE supporting character! Yaphet Kotto played him to the hilt! He's the blue collar EVERYMAN who just cares about payday and who enjoys deliberately antagonizing his superiors but ends up sacrificing himself for a fellow employee. He's also the only one who made a move on the chestburster before being stopped by Ash! Some viewers strongly believe the alien raped Lambert! This is nonsense. The PREHENSILE TAIL probably drew her closer to itself so it could mouth-punch her with the retractable jaw. Those viewers aren't mistaken for perceiving phallic eroticism, though, as that was Scott's intent. The giant elephant-headed alien pilot of the derelict spacecraft is one of the GREAT MYSTERIES of the franchise. Was he a zoologist, a bio-warfare specialist, an exterminator, a trader in exotic organisms, a waste disposal tech or a trucker like Ripley's crew? No one knows. Sigourney Weaver became a FEMINIST ICON because of this movie. Ripley is one in a long line of strong female characters that have been showcased in sci-fi and fantasy dating back to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Mars, in 1912! There's not a man I know who wouldn't follow Ripley into hell. You must see the SPECIAL EDITION of "Aliens" and the ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3" because those versions greatly enhance both films. If you intend to see the "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films, then you need to acquaint yourself with the PREDATOR franchise. The first is an action classic with Schwarzenegger. Danny Glover's underrated urban-set "Predator 2" features some memorable set pieces and adds more lore. Dark Horse comics explored the crossover concept inspiring Hollywood to make two crossover films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be considered extremely optional as it nearly killed the franchise! "PREY" is an excellent 18th-century-set prequel to the original film that was released on Hulu! The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers.

You wondered why they have an android instead of a person working for the corporation ship. You could consider the contentious issue of AI technology being used right now in the real world and the debates that has brought about regarding all sorts of industries. Also consider that if the crew is expendable there would be an advantage having an android working for them because an android would likely not have any emotional or moral qualms if it came down to getting rid of other crew members.
The Alien trailer was different- It literally didn't give away anything: ruclips.net/video/LjLamj-b0I8/видео.html The next time you want to do a spooky movie, consider doing The Keep. (If you can find a good copy of it)
Don't listen to the naysayers as there's bound to be some, but make sure you watch all the direct sequels to the original with Aliens (make sure its the Special Edition), Alien 3 (make sure its the Assembly Cut) and Alien Resurrection. After that you can take or leave the ones that came later/were more recent....
Parker comes off as pretty dislikable at the start of the movie, but as you learn more about the company the crew works for his attitude becomes more and more sympathetic.
A lot of people enjoy Aliens, directed by James Cameron. I don't, like all Cameron films, I think it is unnecessarily long. Then we have Alien 3, my favorite out of all of them. Then we have Alien Resurrection, It was made during the space craze era when we had Leprechaun in space, and Jason X etc. After that it's all garbage for me.
now watch the nest movies and is you still have some question feel free ro contack me andi can try and answer then i have watch all aliens move to many times and i have played most of the games and allso the TTRPG Aliens
H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking. Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ? Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"? 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Great to do the big classics, but look for movies the other reactors haven’t done so we can watch some “new” movies with you. Do Cohen Bros, cult classics, etc.
The Nostromo is basically just a tow truck carrying a mining rig. These are, for the most part, blue-collar working stiffs.
Smoking, pets etc. I kinda love that.
The sequel, Aliens is not only very good, it's directed by James Cameron who also directed Terminator 2. Happy Halloween
Yeah, in my opinion, Aliens is one of the few sequels that improved on a great first film.
@@Stevenroy-Professional-Liar I don't know about "improved," so much as "Did an incredible job taking it in a different direction."
Alien is a horror movie.
Aliens is a military action-adventure movie.
Both are top notch. Which one you will like more probably depends at least as much on your preferences as how "good" the movie is objectively.

21:00 In the Director's Cut, Ripley and Parker run in to the room, in time to see Bret being carried away.
The computer is named MU/TH/UR which is the name of the series of operating system. Computers in the 70s used text-based interfaces, not icons--those showed up in the '80s. That's why Ripley/Dallas interact with the computer through word commands, not mouse clicks/touchscreen icons.

Ash was a last-minute replacement. The Company needed to redirect the Nostromo on its way home and so they arranged Ash's assignment to the ship before the ship left the mining planet.

The company sent Ash to secure the alien. As a robot, he began to study the specimen for weapons usage for them an advantage no one else would have. The military would also discover other uses based on its biology. The company was simply looking for ways to profit from anything more the mining operation.
The eggs produced the face-hugger you first saw, which was itself to Kane's face. It laid an egg in his body and died. The face-huggers only function is the find a hist to lay its egg inside.
Next, the chestburster explodes from the host to release the alien. Keep in mind that any warm bodied lifeform can be taken as a host. Which is why Ash, as an artificial being, was never in danger. Then, the xenomorph grows to hunt more people for the process.

There are critical additional scenes that add context to the movie and it is the version director James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver themselves prefer.
Director Ridley Scott kept the entire cast in the dark about the famous CHESTBURSTING scene except for John Hurt. Their reactions were absolutely genuine and mirrored the audience's response! Veronica Cartwright got sprayed by fake blood and fell over backward. They only filmed the scene twice. It remains one of the most ICONIC IN CINEMA HISTORY!
The PACING is deliberately slow at the beginning to acquaint the audience with the ship's geography, to demonstrate authentic-looking space travel and maneuvers, to familiarize the audience with the crew, to establish the threat posed by the creature and to generate suspense with the mystery of the derelict craft. There's a lot of rich character humor and foreshadowing in those crew interaction scenes as well as a subtext about this future society being a corporate dystopia. "Alien" is set in the year 2122.
This movie and "Star Wars" changed the future aesthetic from antiseptic cleanliness to lived-in, worn-out dinginess. The smoking is meant to convey that space travel has become commonplace enough that it is the province of workaday laymen.
The Swiss artist, H.R. GIGER, who designed the xenomorph, tapped into insectoid and reptilian features that evoke primal fear. His artwork is very bizarre, erotic and has a distinctive look called Giger-esque. The final product is an iconic movie monster that is pure NIGHTMARE FUEL! The creature's life-cycle and biology is explored throughout the series. By the way, the alien's retractable inner jaw is found in nature in a deep-sea fish!
THE WEYLAND-YUTANI COMPANY is an international conglomerate involved in robotics, interstellar travel and terra-forming. They have a stake in every colony world and are basically the 22nd-century version of the British East India Company of the 17th- to 19th-centuries. They are a ruthless corporation looking to exploit or weaponize the xenomorph for profit regardless of the negative consequences. The Company is the TRUE VILLAIN of all the Alien movies. In the "AvP" films, you actually meet the company founders before their merger, Mr. Weyland and Ms. Yutani.
This crew is not a group of explorers, scientists or colonists. They're just SPACE TRUCKERS hauling rocks. This was a First Contact situation they were wholly unqualified for. Hence, all the bumbling and bad judgment calls. Their chief concerns were company policy and pay inequity. Ripley was the only one with the willingness to make difficult command decisions that would have saved all their lives except for Kane's had she not been undermined by Ash. Of course, Ash was privy to a secret corporate mandate.
Like most Captains, Dallas had an inherently CALM DEMEANOR. By minimizing the situation, it prevents both him and the crew from panicking. You can tell he's very worried because he seeks counsel from Muthur, the Company-wide AI Operating System. He also acknowledges his culpability for the predicament by preventing Ripley from volunteering to go into the shafts and by shouldering that burden himself. He accepted this task not even knowing if fire would be effective! His last act is a rather valiant gesture and I always feel bad for him despite his initial missteps.
Parker is MY FAVORITE supporting character! Yaphet Kotto played him to the hilt! He's the blue collar EVERYMAN who just cares about payday and who enjoys deliberately antagonizing his superiors but ends up sacrificing himself for a fellow employee. He's also the only one who made a move on the chestburster before being stopped by Ash!
Some viewers strongly believe the alien raped Lambert! This is nonsense. The PREHENSILE TAIL probably drew her closer to itself so it could mouth-punch her with the retractable jaw. Those viewers aren't mistaken for perceiving phallic eroticism, though, as that was Scott's intent.
The giant elephant-headed alien pilot of the derelict spacecraft is one of the GREAT MYSTERIES of the franchise. Was he a zoologist, a bio-warfare specialist, an exterminator, a trader in exotic organisms, a waste disposal tech or a trucker like Ripley's crew? No one knows.
Sigourney Weaver became a FEMINIST ICON because of this movie. Ripley is one in a long line of strong female characters that have been showcased in sci-fi and fantasy dating back to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Mars, in 1912! There's not a man I know who wouldn't follow Ripley into hell.
You must see the SPECIAL EDITION of "Aliens" and the ASSEMBLY CUT of "Alien 3" because those versions greatly enhance both films.
If you intend to see the "ALIEN vs. PREDATOR" films, then you need to acquaint yourself with the PREDATOR franchise. The first is an action classic with Schwarzenegger. Danny Glover's underrated urban-set "Predator 2" features some memorable set pieces and adds more lore. Dark Horse comics explored the crossover concept inspiring Hollywood to make two crossover films with moderately successful to excellent results. They're fun and exciting guilty pleasures with the second one, "ALIENS vs. PREDATOR: REQUIEM", being particularly lean and mean. There is also a "PREDATORS" film produced by Robert Rodriguez that is definitely worth a look. "THE PREDATOR" (2018) REBOOT, however, should be considered extremely optional as it nearly killed the franchise! "PREY" is an excellent 18th-century-set prequel to the original film that was released on Hulu! The Alien films have a RICHER SUBTEXT while the Predator films are more ACTION FARE but they're both fun sci-fi thrillers. Below is a VIEWING ORDER and an INTERNAL CHRONOLOGY:

You wondered why they have an android instead of a person working for the corporation ship. You could consider the contentious issue of AI technology being used right now in the real world and the debates that has brought about regarding all sorts of industries.
Also consider that if the crew is expendable there would be an advantage having an android working for them because an android would likely not have any emotional or moral qualms if it came down to getting rid of other crew members.

@NixairisReactions Thanks👍
You should definitely check out the creepshow film series for a good anthology horror
You think Ripley is badass in this, wait until Aliens!
The best Truckers In Space film...In space, no one listens to Ripley.

The Alien trailer was different- It literally didn't give away anything: ruclips.net/video/LjLamj-b0I8/видео.html
The next time you want to do a spooky movie, consider doing The Keep. (If you can find a good copy of it)
I would like to suggest "The Losers".
Don't listen to the naysayers as there's bound to be some, but make sure you watch all the direct sequels to the original with Aliens (make sure its the Special Edition), Alien 3 (make sure its the Assembly Cut) and Alien Resurrection. After that you can take or leave the ones that came later/were more recent....
Parker comes off as pretty dislikable at the start of the movie, but as you learn more about the company the crew works for his attitude becomes more and more sympathetic.
Train to Busan
Apology accepted.
"That's what" - She
Didn't have that on my Nixie reactions bingo card 🤣🤣
A lot of people enjoy Aliens, directed by James Cameron. I don't, like all Cameron films, I think it is unnecessarily long. Then we have Alien 3, my favorite out of all of them. Then we have Alien Resurrection, It was made during the space craze era when we had Leprechaun in space, and Jason X etc. After that it's all garbage for me.
I would say to watch la llorona but it got 7% on rotten tomatoes LMAOOO 😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼 so maybe don’t
Did the producer(s) of "La Llorona" (1960? 2019?) not put enough bribe money into the RT critic's pockets?
now watch the nest movies and is you still have some question feel free ro contack me andi can try and answer then
i have watch all aliens move to many times and i have played most of the games and allso the TTRPG Aliens
If you haven't seen "Creepshow" (1982) it would be great for Halloween.
H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking.
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ?
Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"?
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Great to do the big classics, but look for movies the other reactors haven’t done so we can watch some “new” movies with you. Do Cohen Bros, cult classics, etc.
The sequel is WAAAAAY BETTER !!!
In space no one can hear you scream
