Alien (1979) (files.catbox.moe)

The entire movie embodies Cassette Futurism, but IMO the self-destruct sequence is particularly great. The entire process looks so satisfying that I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from running it if I were one of the crew.

Is there any difference between different cuts in Story and Aesthetics? Or Is it same?

[-] m_f@midwest.social 3 points 5 hours ago

Other than the happy ending on some cuts providing a different tone for the ending, I don't think there's any difference in the story/aesthetics

Yes. The original was butchered by studio execs that didn't understand the film. I've only seen clips of it, but it's pretty bad.

The final cut is what I and most people recommend. It's a small aesthetic and pacing change over the "directors" cut.

And definitely watch Alien too!
