  I honestly doubt we will ever see a mainstream Production with the level of care, attention to detail and forethought we got with Alien, ever again..<br><br>Cheers as ever, RA<br><br>London UK

  Kane is kept alive by the face hugger even with his helmet broken

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACZNDA4i04k&amp;t=1564">26:04</a> I always found that this Alien movie poster looks like a cinema theater, with the seat rows in front and the egg on the screen. I&apos;m still convinced it looks like that at first sight, when you don&apos;t look at the details too hard.

  One of the best movies ever made I will never forget watching this movie for the first time alone in my room late and all the lights turned off oh man I wish I could get back that experience again!

  It seems like if Ash drinks milk, then is full of milky white blood, that this creates an association that ties into the mother/biotechnology theme. Like Ash, though a technologically advanced piece of machinery, is still pretty inchoate as a human person, still dependent on and full of &quot;Mother&apos;s&quot; milk. The human immaturity of Ash might explain the weird magazine weapon scene, too, not knowing the subtleties of how sex works, just ends up trying something random and aggressive that&apos;s at least suggestive.

  It cant be a coincidence. I am sick at home from work and Rob drops an hour and half video? This is perfect

  &quot;Vaginal Doorways&quot; is definitely an album title!

  It’s a great movie. I saw Aliens first when it came out but as I got older, I appreciated Alien a lot. <br><br>Lambert’s anxiety during Dallas’s search for the Alien was fantastic.

  90 minutes of Rob discussing Alien. Let&apos;s go! I&apos;m not a science fiction fan nor does space films ever capture me attention, however Alien is a rarity. It&apos;s dialogue and horror aspects with feelings of isolation always terrified me but didn&apos;t even realise that there&apos;s so much hidden themes within the film.

  I am so broke. I cannot afford at all to pay for your prime analyses. Thank you for the free-bee:face-blue-smiling::hand-pink-waving: I appreciate it.
