Alien is 116 minutes long. The alien has a combined screentime of six minutes. That's 110 minutes without the alien, so how come people have nothing to say about the movie except
>the alien has an iconic design
>it's a rape monster
And before you get ahead of yourselves, writing out your fanfiction about the space jockey (onscreen for maybe sixty seconds, if even that) is not the same as talking about the movie. The jockey has an extremely brief presence and is quickly forgotten by the characters.
Alien 1979
But what about the bonus situation?
>it's a rape monster
If only you weren't a virgin, you'd recognised sexual symbolism when you see it.
Uh, it's called atmosphere, look it up some time
OP, what is your point? Do you have some kind of argument for or against Alien as a movie? What is the fucking point of your thread?
Just get those pipes fixed so we can get off this planet.
i always fall asleep before the alien part
And yet the movie is iconic because it does everything right. It's so good that it doesn't need the over exposure with the alien.

I put it right there in the op:
>how come people have nothing to say about the movie
All it gets is vague praise, roundabout words like 'iconic' or 'atmosphere'. Clearly the two hours worth of story aren't very interesting to the people who claim to like the movie.

They are different genre.
The first is a weird Love Craft movie with a lot of sex references.
While Aliens is a movie about Vietnam War and a woman accept her role of a mother.
Its about building tension and suspense.
When I want to fuck your mother I dont just whip out out my dick and start pounding, there is sexual buildup. An eb and flow of energies, culminating in me finally unsheathing my uncut salami and take her to pound town just when she can't stand to be teased anymore.

Say do all the Bender units have the same personality?
>literal 12 year old crying because they didn't show the monster enough
That used to be the point of horror movies, you would only catch glimpses of the monster, and that allowed your imagination to run wild. That's what made it scary. Kids don't know what it's like, these days the monster shows up and does The Batusi with the rest of the cast in the opening credits. There's no mystery.
It has nothing to do with Lovecraft
That was funny until the antisemitism.
The ship name Nostromo is based off a book about helplessness in the face of evil by Joseph Conrad, writer of Heart of Darkness.
Fuck off Vietnam fucking shit
Please tell me the title of a horror movie that scared you where the monster or whatever was shown most of the time.
Not Op, but The Blob remake.
