  Simone's reaction to the chestburster was pure 1979 audience. Love your watch-alongs!

  The reason Ripley and Parker were upset with Brett for letting Jones the car go was that they were tracking the aien using movements and having the cat running around complicates looking for the Xenomorph. They were not upset because they didn't realize it was a cat.

  i love how George said &quot;...doesnt consider the human factor.&quot; at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTiG0eiG09E&amp;t=690">11:30</a> . The writers did the best job possible to hint all throughout the movie that he is an android and still masking it behind reasonable human behaviour. masterpiece of writing and cinematography in its entirety.

  <b>In space no one can hear you scream.</b><br>The greatest movie tag line of all time.

  The Alien&apos;s design is very deliberately invoking disgust and fear. &nbsp;It was based on a design by HR Giger and meant to evoke primal fears, particularly of sexual violence. &nbsp;Simone&apos;s reaction is precisely what the makers were aiming for. &nbsp;It remains one of the creepiest monsters ever created.

  As someone who has been re-watching this movie regularly for over 40 years it was honestly so delightful to watch people actually experience the terror for the first time. &nbsp;It&apos;s still amazing after all these years and it&apos;s awesome to see young people are still impressed by the super practical effects. &nbsp;Have fun with Aliens!

  I saw this film in the theater in 1979. My best friends mom took me along with him and his sister to see it on a Saturday afternoon. My strict parents would never have allowed it. This was the first R Rated film I ever saw. It changed my life completely. It was my real introduction to Horror. I was already a sci fi fanatic with my head in the clouds cause of things like Star Wars, Close Encounters, Star Trek and Marvel Comics. This showed me that space could be a terrifying nightmare as well. I never felt such a sense of foreboding and dread in my life as I did looking at the derelict alien spacecraft. And things just got worse from there. I will never forget the audience reaction to the chestburster scene. I love watching people see this film for the first time now.

  I think Ripley was the first real female &quot;action hero&quot; - and I like the way she slowly emerged out of a group and took the lead. Anyways - great reactions!!

  &quot;That looks great for 1979!&quot;<br><br>Two reasons for that, first and most important everything in this movie is real. &nbsp;The miniature Nostromo model is several feet across and extremely detailed. &nbsp;The fossilized pilot set is real but they used kids in spacesuits to make it look huge. &nbsp;The Alien is a really tall skinny guy in a suit. <br><br>Also this movie has been expertly re mastered to HD. &nbsp;Like I saw the 4k remaster in theaters for the 40th anniversary in 2019 and I was blown away how good it looked. &nbsp;I kept thinking &quot;Holy shit this looks like it was made last week.&quot;

  For the “chest buster” scene. None of the cast knew what was going to happen. They got to see the puppet they used, but had no clue as to how they would introduce it. So, everyone’s reaction is real. Also, the insides of the dead “face hugger” they used chicken organs and other things of that nature.

  &quot;Is this going to be scary?&quot; Yes. It is THE SCARY. Of all time.

  I remember seeing this in the theatre and at the end - the audience applauded - which had become rare by 1979. &nbsp;LOL
