Alien: First impressions

Yes! We're doing it! Roomie had a night out, so Lacy's got me set up tonight with one of her favorite movies. Don't know what to expect here beyond it being a controversial choice and everyone wanting me to watch it. Excited? Worried? Little of both. What am I getting into?

It's late, so Lacy had to leave. Solo viewing means best reactions, though. I've got nothing on this one, so I'm just going to jump ahead and press play.

Always love the fanfare

The rings of Saturn?

Oooh, dark planet

I

Tom Skerrit

/

\

I again

Why did John hurt?

I again

oh I get it

Guys I'm not on board with the music what's happening

It's like Evil Saturn

I feel really cold

The Nostromo, eh?  I can't make it out ahhhhh it's big and ugly thought that was a rock or something

Well isn't this all Star Wars of you? Imperial pointy ship

Guys invest in some lighting seriously

This reminds me of a boat I was in once, all ducts and pipes and the like

Anyone home?

Why do I feel like you guys gave me a creepy movie?

With no people seriously where is everyone

Is soething there?

Something's mving on that table

YES IGET IT NOBODYS oh hey here we go what's up guys

AHAHAHA "the future will be filled with shitty old computers"

We have illumination! And padding. And oddly placed curtains.

If the movie's stying tyo make me uncomfortable it's working, I assure you

I found some people!

"Meh, don't wanna get up"

Crazy looking bed contraqption thing, eh?

Hey guy!

They have stickers on them

Spokers in space, that seems unwise. Hello the group

I'm there wieth hey she looks familiar

did he say "bonus" or "boner"

It does sound like "boner"

Space telephone?

Nope. Space punch clock thing. Morning Ralph. Morning Sam.

Well this is all red and eerie.

"Mother?" Is he talking to his mom or is it called that

Odd way to address a computer

Wait what do you mean where's Earth

IT's like a giant oil platform thingy.

So what, you guys got lost in space? Good job.

Heh, space banter.

So who's who up in here? I like names and jobs

That's DANA! Hey Dana!

Be on he lookout for Zuuls.

Oooh, alien transmission? :D

Yes, the boner situation

TOLD. Contracts just suck, don't they?

Loud Hawaiian style shirt, odd choice for space

Sounds like one of those slidey tube things.

Is the clicking part of the signal or a omputer thing

This gent in blue looks important

but then so do beardy and skinny

Every time I think I get what the ship looks like they give me a new angle

Hey look I was right! Dark Saturn

There's something Star Trekky about that reed instrument music

What are they doing?

AHA it's a mini-ship thing

Those graphics must have been quite the thing in Whateveryear

Someone needs to start filling me in on what year I'm at with each movie, I really don't know most of the time

or what years I'm at if it's Back to the Future

Vast space darknesses

SPACE ELEPHANT

Who's in charge here?

Blue suit?

Beardy?

Thing looks like it's going up her nose

They've got the roof of a MExican restaurant under their ship!

"Congratulations! We have successfully made the movie longer OH WHAT THE SHIT"

STRESS

WHAT IS GOING ON

Space elephant attack?

Did you morons just strand yourselves

"We gotta reroute all these ducks"

Who puts wind chimes in a spaceship, honestly

Good thing they're on like the windiest planet ever

LET THERE BE LIGHTs

"How far away? NORTHEAST"

that's 2 km. I mean, it IS walking distance, but you wouldn't do it with space elephants about. Not in that wind.

Soooo... space suits

Blue suit's in charge, but I don't think he's the lead

Maybe there is no lead in this movie. Or maybe the alien from the title is the lead? That would be kind of audacious, to spend this much time with no main character.

The future likes blue, doesn't it?

I like blue. Blue is a likeable color.

Which one's in the chair? The Emperor?

That's blue-shirt?

Can I get some names on you people

Boney and Diversity Casting and RIPLEY. BRETT. HELLO BRETT.

So that's two.

What is with your steam fetish, Not-Brett?

Or is the black guy Brett

"I like griping" Motto of Cape Breton Island right there

I like griping too, for the record

KITTY

Now I love cats. Never had a cat. But I love them. Allergic, of course

Oh what are we doing with the silence

This is very uncomfortable

VADER IS HERE I ccan here the asthma

That looks like something. ASH. HELLO ASH.

Really? You've never seen the letter U?

Look, that is clearly either the letter U or someone took a bite out of a space doughnut

WHY IS THE MUSIC MAKING WITH THE STRESS

And lots of interference

So this is the alien's ship?

You'd think they would have better cameras in the future

The distortion is not at all stressful. Of course not.

Apparently lights are unwelcome.

This is a very slow movie. Slow and dark.

I feel properly alienated. It's a pun! :D

I keep waiting for anything to happen

BESIDES CREEPY NOPISES

oh hey what's this?

It's like a giant corpse thing at a super telescope

That thing is huge! Was huge.

EXPLODED FROM INSIDE?

AGREED. LET US DO THAT.

What a weird looking thing

It's close to human but just not there OH HEY A DARK HOLE LET'S CHECK IT OUT

OH SHIT NO A WARNING

Ash, you're a cold-blooded kind of rectum aren'[t you

Looks slimy

"Slime, yes."

A CAVE? On a spaceship? Weird aliens.

It's huge, whatever it is

Leathery eggs, eh?

Bet they take one with them and the mom gets mad

Always the way, people do stupid things for fun

A layer of mist, eh?

Odd things

Wouldn't do that if I were you

It's alive inside

and it throbs!

Clearly a good idea.

I just said that, catch up

Oh hey! Hatching!

Hello Jello

WHAT HTH E SHIT NO O

NO WHAT THE FUCK

NO.

NOT WITH THE JUMPING OF THINGS

IT's like that goddamn undead monkey, things jumping out

Well this just became all sort s  of new kinds of STRESS

What happened to Cain?

Dana's right.

Dana's all kinds of right.

THE SHIT HAPOPENED THERE it smashed through his headblub

annnnd it cracks like an egWHAT THE HELL

Gross just fucking gross what the hell

You should freeze him. Do anything to OH HERE IT GOES

it's like a spider... hand... thing?

With a strangling tail of course

The X-Ray machine id dcent, at least DOWN HIS THROAT?

Oh that's just new kinds of gross

Ash, you're a moron

Beardy, you're in charge

knuckle. Gross

WELL THEN THAT'S A NO

what the hell is it made of, pure liquid hate?

wow it's like paper and THE PEN IS SMOKING

So they can't kill it and it GRABS YOUR FACE AND STRANGLES YOU SLOWLY

WHY AM I WATCHING THIS MOVIE I AM NOT ON BOARD WITH THIS

I AGREE IT ALSO GIVES ME THE CREEPS

Is it turning him into something? Whay is it doing?

What are YOU doing, sir

"Science"

She's the most rational person on board

You're fascinated by the spiderhandcrab aren't you Ash

Well phrased yes why DID you let him in, that was a stupid idea

DALLAS. He'll be beardy.

Yes, probably.

So he's the science officer, she's third in command, and... which one is captain?

Ahh, classical music. I've always liked it.

Oh what's going on is he mutating HE IS MUTATING ISN'T HE what

where's the grabby

OH SHIT WHERE IS THE GRABBY

Don't go in it's going to do it to you too

Why leave the lights off what will that accomplish

NO STOP GOING IN THERE WHERE IS THE GRABBY

Look you morons this isn't a game of don't wake the baby it's OHFUCK

TURN ON A DAMN LIGHT, YOU DO HAVE THEM IN THE FUTURE

OHSHITHEONOOOOOOOO

NO GOOD FUCKING SHIT NO

oh got it's like someone vomited and filled a spider with it

Ash you're a moron par excellence

DALLAS USE YOUR BRAIN

So she's the main character by virtue of being the only one with an Int score

DOOR.

So wait is Ash secretly the boss or something?

can I get my STRESS retracted yet?

Because I would like that very much

The music keeps trying to be pleasant and just ever so slightly failing and it is getting my dander up

Hehe, Brett.

Parker?

Ten months? Go back to nap.

He's mustating isn't he

Oh hey Cain, welcome back to the living. You're going to be a mutant

"It violated me. So yes."

Smothering. Yyyyyuck.

Chinese? Chinese. Let's all go for chinese.

He's gonna kill a guy.

Well come on the guy was in a coma, he's gonna be hungry

OH SHIT NO HERE IT COMES

Lacy's not picking up so I'm just going to unpause and hope it gets better from here. I'm a moron to hope that, aren't I

So it just what, planted a larva inside him?

Guys come on get some future tech on the job

If you had done that in the first place there would not be a raw chicken bug thing on your ship now

The ship is awful big for that few people

That's a terrible choice of weapon

Tracking device, there we go

that seems tremendously inadequate

TURN ON THE LIGHTS

oh they burned out well that's marvelous isn't it

So did they tune it to not register their own moves? They must have

Excellent. Thank you for turning on the lights now for question 2 WHY ARE YOU SPLITTING THE PARTY

The whole reason this started in the first place is because they split the party

5 meteres is not a whole lot of meters

Good job having a ship where everything is creepy and it's always dark

Oh god it's there

CAT

Oh well guys why do you have a cat on board

YOU SPLIT THE PARTY
