#Alien

Alien (1979) is 46 years old and it looks so good. It is a beautifully shot horror film with some of the most visceral production design ever put on film.

H.R. Giger's beautiful design of the Xenomorph is as timeless as it is terrifying.

The facehugger and chestburster are horrifying.

"Trump has invoked the #Alien Enemy Act of 1798…

This gives the President additional powers in a time of war.

The #USA is not legally in a 'time of war'. Therefore one must assume he plans to use this law illegally."

I was thinking about it and there are a lot of similarities between Ark in Space (1975) and Alien (1979). Unstoppable, exoskeleton covered aliens that use humans to brood their young, check. Tense scene crawling through maintenance ducts never knowing when the aliens might strike, check. Crew in plastic covered sleep pods, check. Killing an alien with a rocket engine, check. Hmmm.... 😅 #scifi #alien #drwho
