And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I was an 18 y.o., two-stripe Airman at Lowry AFB, Denver CO when this film released. A buddy and I decided to go see it on opening weekend without realizing the milestone in Sci-Fi/Horror, we would experience. Over forty five years later, it still carries a high shock value to the uninitiated and will remain one of my favorite films. That and it's follow up.
Took my wife to see this movie when it was released. Swore she would never go to another movie with me again! Been married 56 years and so far she has kept her word. It's not all bad, just think of all the "chick flicks" I've missed! Bubbarust

DeleteAlien. Sigourney Weaver's big break.
The chest-bursting scene always gets em.
Ah, a six year enlistee.
ReplyDeleteI was a 3 striper (Chanute), stationed at RAF Lakenheath. 3yrs, 11mths, 27 days, and 5 minutes. To this day, I've never watched that movie.
I had the video game, based on the second movie, on my Commodore 64. Played the heck out of it, but never could get past level 3.
ReplyDeleteThe Nostromo drop sequence, sped up about 2X.
ReplyDeleteThe golden age of sci-fi model making in film.
ReplyDeleteI liked the cat, major character in that movie. Don't remember its name.
