Ohhh, I’ve not heard of it either. Were my morning #PacingMovie already picked as Alien (1979) I’d start watching now.

Thanks for sharing the find.

@cynical_owl

Yeah I am definitely watching soon! I ended up cowatching The Money Pit today with a friend heh. The movie that taught a generation to ALWAYS get a survey if buying a house. 😂

Love Alien!! I rewatched that entire franchise last year!

Oh and you're welcome! I'm hoping it's as good as the trailer led me to believe! I'm honestly not sure how it escaped my notice for so long!!

@KittenInACave

The whole franchise? Even Resurrection? Heh. I’m a completionist and a masochist so I’ll rewatch it but oof there’s some weird stuff in there that doesn’t quite land.

@cynical_owl

I was (am) doing a watch of Monster Movies. I don't love all of the alien movies but they just had to be watched!!!

With my memory, all I remember of that one is what I posted on twitter about it though.. And that was that its the one with a badass wheelchair user in it lol. I remember basically one moment of one scene where he had to ditch his wheelchair. 😂 (Twitter is basically my memory, sigh. One reason I am terrified of losing it)

@cynical_owl

Funnily on this watch, the one I enjoyed the most was Prometheus. (Because of Shaw)

@KittenInACave

I try so hard to love Prometheus, but all I manage is to love the visuals - and yes Shaw because she’s freaking awesome.

Having just seen Alien I was struck by how much of the world they established in the first film. The Xenomorph, the external/internal of the Engineer’s ship, etc. I always wonder how filmmakers feel when they’re working with designs and decisions made over 30 years ago.

I guess if they don’t like it they’ll retcon the heck out of it right?
