Cinematic brilliance of Ridley Scott, followed by the laughably awesome James Cameron
We went to a midnight theatre screening of Ridley Scott‘s Alien (1979), and completely used it as an excuse to geek out over the entire Alien Franchise.
Alien
Reznik – One of my favourite parts, and this was accentuated by the big screen, was the ship itself. I love the Nostromo. It’s pristine plastic ‘living room/kitchenette/dining area’ and the MotherWomb transitions into literally the bowels of the ship as they hunt for the alien. Sphincters on the crawlspaces, random bits of machinery poking out everywhere and a circulatory system of steaming pipes and wires. Thought it went really well with the ‘pilot’ on the alien ship literally being fused to and a part of his ship.
Speaking of which, It could just be me, but this time around I felt that they were all dreadfully unsurprised by both the alien spaceship and its pilot (other than the sheer size of it), and by a new alien species. I had previously been under the notion that when mankind goes into space, the first ET it encounters has drippy extra teeth and thinks facerape is okay on the first date. Are there other aliens in Alien?
This new friend’s facerape (of a *man* no less), the birthing through the chest, and the entire life-cycle process reveals more about O’Bannon’s issues with sex than anything else. Add to that Ridley Scott’s reflection of that on the whole first flick, with the design and influence of HR Giger of all people. There is a whole underbelly of sexual undertones that is (at least consciously) completely missed by millions of viewers.
