I saw this in the theater. The trailer gave almost nothing about the movie so it was a complete shock. Great pick for an early reaction. I look forward to seeing where you go with your channel.
1:18 In contemporaneous interviews, more than one cast member said they sensed during production that they were part of something special, but I doubt anybody felt that vibe before then. They had an awful lot of trouble selling the script. If you want to see the evolution of the script, the embryo version is a movie Dan O'Bannon and John Carpenter made for their film school thesis project called Dark Star. That evolved into a script called Star Beast, which O'Bannon began shopping around, and was later retitled Alien. The novelization by Alan Dean Foster was written from the original shooting script, and there are some interesting differences between it and the movie they ultimately made. And I recently learned that the earliest version of the Alien script was made into a comic book, and it's _very_ different from the film. (Not to be confused with Alien: The Illustrated Story, which was published by Heavy Metal in 1979, and has yet another slight variation on the story, written from a later version of the shooting script, no doubt)
Everybody watching this reaction has presumably already seen Alien, so I wouldn't worry about the terrible video quality. In fact, terrible video quality is a trick you can use to help avoid copyright strikes. I think your microphone has some kind of noise gate or noise cancellation on it which is turned up too high, and that's probably what's making your voice sound choppy.
Personally, I like older horror movies. They scared me way more than anything in this new generation. I am not scared like I use to be. Alien Convent was scary. But Romulus wasn't scaring me, I was disappointed, but I won't tell anyone else how to feel about it. I will let others have their own opinion about it. But for me, Ripley helped make these movies so famous, and she is a major character in the Alien world. She is badass. I feel lately, calling this new girl from Romulus Ripley 2 point 0. And I am not seeing that, and I don't agree with it. But that's me. Anyways back to this. Movie. Jones, also referred to as Jonesy, was a cat kept aboard the USCSS Nostromo as Ellen Ripley's pet. While the cat's official purpose was to control rodents aboard the ship, he also served as a source of relaxation and entertainment for the crew like a theory animal. So, this was the reason why a cat was brought into outer space. Yeah, see the difference between them and me I'll pass up my paycheck I'll go get a new job I'm not putting my life at risk for exploring an unknown world and secondly as soon as I saw that face hugger on that guy's face, I would have been gone I would have stolen the shuttle and left with a cat. The Spaceship gets explained in Prometheus which is the origin and the start of all of these movies. Alien Movies in (Chronological) Order AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) ... Aliens' vs Predator: Requiem (2007) ... Prometheus (2012) ... Alien: Covenant (2017) ... Alien (1979) ... Aliens (1986) ... Alien 3 (1992) ... Alien Resurrection (1997) And now they've added the new one that just came out.
I am definitely excited to go down the rabbit hole that is this franchise😅 and am grateful all of my unanswered questions will come around to be answered in the future!
Thank you for your feedback, but unfortunately, I actually had to show in majorily the times I was talking, so it wasn't just me sitting awkwardly while the movie played in the background and also for reaction purposes.👍
"Alien": A new-to-the franchise viewer is boarding the "Nostromo." What will this recording tyro make of this "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? 4:59 The Company is sending the equivalent of a freighter crew to "do science" on an unexplored planet! 7:06 Canny observers saw Ash's "calisthenics" as suspect. 9:25 The Space Jockey, a mystery for years. 10:45 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 11:12 The first jump scare. 11:36 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 12:00 The Face Hugger. 12:44 Acid Blood! 15:44 A Props Dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. 16:46 Kane's last meal. 17:49 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences (but not you) for over 40 years. 18:40 Along came Jones. 19:50 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 20:39 How's that for a "syntax error"? 22:00 You're in command, Ripley. 22:45 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 24:10 Most didn't see this coming. 26:09 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 26:55 That's a Stinger. 28:10 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 33:30 Tonight's entree on the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 34:15 Correction, Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next movie made newcomer Sigourney Weaver a major movie star. On to "Aliens" (1986)!
I am a new subscriber and I hope to see a first time reaction to Aliens (1986) directed by James Cameron the sequel of Alien (1979) directed by ridley Scott and The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter because The Thing (1982) rivals both Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) as well:).
