MODERATORS
Actual artistic insight into the decision making that went on during the production of Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien. Back when people actually put thought and effort into movies.
Alien trilogy is must-watch yearly for me, but the whole thing reads like insane tumblr fan fiction! I don't know if the director actually said that, but If you follow any scifi or fantasy medium about cosmic or demonic monsters that scares the shit out of people, you'll find similar horrific themes on how the monster preys on its victims. I can promise you no man or woman watched aliens and screamed payback!
