I watched the edited version on YouTube on my break. You always drop these when I’m working. But, that’s okay... I work an odd shift. Always have. I’ll watch the full reaction later tonight. So, this is one that I saw when it came out in the theaters. The tagline was, “In space, no one can hear you scream.” That should have warned me it was a scary movie. But, I’d never actually seen a really scary movie. (The scariest thing I ever saw in the theaters was the preview for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That scarred me for life!) At any rate, I went in expecting a sci-fi movie, not a horror movie. But, what I got was, as you mentioned, one of the best constructed movies of any genre. It still holds up, however many decades later this is. I work at a company that has offices and industrial type sites. I started working at a complex with belts and gantries and catwalks and huge machines. It's filthy and grimy and there are places that are claustrophobic, and dark, and scary. But, I'm thankful this is earth. I work in the offices now. Much nicer. As for your observation about the lack of feminine under-attire... yeah, that was a thing back in the 70’s and 80’s. I think it was a reactionary response to the general repressiveness of the 40’s and 50’s. The 60’s opened the door, and Hollywood was all too eager to traipse on through. Actually, it pretty much ended in the 80’s as a regular thing with the advent of AIDS, and the subsequent phobia about human contact potentially spreading the disease. This movie scared me, but I was fascinated by it. I saw it a bunch of times in the theater. It had the same kind of used, lived-in galaxy vibe that Star Wars did, but... like... the horrific underbelly of it. The computer room, Mother, was the only comfortable place in the entire ship. I always felt safe and at ease in there. The breathing... I think that was the air circulation, and I think it was designed that way to give it a comforting, that’s your Mama breathing, quality. (My opinion.) The director’s cut is okay, but not great. I think the theatrical is better. Better paced, better timed. You do get a few questions answered in the director’s cut. But, you know... sometimes, it’s better not to know the answers. Aliens, James Cameron’s follow up is also a very good movie in the franchise. Entirely different kind of movie. Action vs. Horror. But, excellent. #3 and #4... save your time. Well... thanks again for the watch. I appreciate your doing what you do. I miss going to the theater with friends to see movies. So... how did the auditions go? See you next time.

Yeah, #3 is infuriating because a character they spent the entirety of #2 making sure they kept alive is killed in the first minute of #3—and it only gets worse from there. Definitely see #2, but pretend they never made any after it.

I love how much you loved this. It's an all-timer for sure.

Is that an A-cat-emy Award for Jones the cat? Also, I agree that space movies should be seen in theaters. Would Jaws fit that same category where they should of named it something else to keep the surprise hidden? Wait, after thinking about it for a few hours, the movie poster gives Jaws away.

I didn’t see this movie until I was 12. Scared the shit out of me. Even watch parts of it muted. I did watch the whole thing because I was super intrigued by the movie. To this day I hate horror movies, but this franchise is an exception to that rule. Such a great movie and I agree this will be one of the greats to stand the test of time. I know people like aliens more than the first one. For me, there is no beating the original.

Yeah! I was furious at #3. It's a movie that should not exist. Plot-wise. It really pissed me off, to the point where I couldn't enjoy the movie. #4 just sucks. Period.

ahh wow! Thanks for writing Michael ... I think I'd love to catch Aliens for the channel for sure!! I think this movie is scarier than any of the more explicitly "scary" horror films I've seen. Space is just SO HOPELESS. those tight quarters would make me NUTS. As for the bra stuff yeah it always just seemed impractical! But Im on board if it was a statement, and doubly on board if Weaver herself liked the choice. it read a little to me like "yeah this film is so not sexy so let's add some boob!" haha

maybe? I dont know, I was really thinking about it! Like would I rather this be called something else and be surprised? But I think i've arrived at no -- the whole fun is WAITING for the Alien to come, just like waiting to see Ol'Jaws. So I'm into the title, we know exactly whats coming and it's still terrifying!

Can't wait to catch Aliens for sure! I've confirmed with my parents that I scream-cried at the alien encounter "ride" in MGM Florida, they laughed so hard at me, and I remember it as an early trauma... SO if I saw this younger I would've been terrified!! I still hold "It" (part 1) and The Ring as my scariest of all time, but I know it's only because I saw them when I was a kid, happy my parents didn't really care about what I watched lol

I should add that this creature was the center of the worst nightmare I ever had. To this day it is the only one I remember. Woke up in a pool of my own sweat. I don’t know what triggered it and thank god I haven’t relived it again.

Cool! It was just a quick little thought experiment you had. Even with Beetlejuice you wait for him to show up. Just not as scary when he does.

Before they passed my first (and so far only due to nomad lifestyle now) two cats I had as an adult were named after sci-fi cats. Pixel and Jonesy. Pixel from the Heinlein novels, Jonesy from Alien(s). Humorously by chance in both the cat is an orange tabby. Neither of mine were.
