  “You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.”

  Sometimes a movie provides its own review.

  imagine a version of this where everything is exactly the same, except "the sound of silence" plays every time the alien appears

  Can’t believe it took me THIS long to see this. 
  Took me a liiiittle bit to get into it, not gonna lie. I get that a lot of it is just building an atmosphere but I wasn’t even really interested in it until like 30 minutes in. But once it got going, boy did it get going!

  I can't stay away. Every few months, I find myself called back to the Nostromo to try and figure out what it is about Alien that makes it so perfectly immersive and enjoyable. I haven't come close to being able to definitively state it yet, since Scott and crew do so many marvelous things here, but for this rewatch I focused on a few things that make Alien stand up so high among not only the rest of its sequels, but of a majority of sci-fi, past and present.

  Who's on First?
  Probably the most fascinating thing about this watch was realizing that Ellen Ripley does not become the primary protagonist until after the hour mark - more than halfway…

  scariest movie ever made. every single detail, every button and lever, every bulkhead and airshaft, every monitor readout and analog ka-chunk of a door closing contrasts with the insatiable, perfectly predatory destructive force of the alien. the immaculate study of every inch of design here versus the unknowable, only-in-the-dark awfulness of how inevitably this thing will kill you.
