No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space.
Claustrophobia in the empty void. A perfect monster hiding in the shadows. Practical effects. Disturbing androids. Corporate dystopia.
Crew expendable.
The Nostromo, as influential a starship as the X-Wing. Ripley, badass heroine inspiring generations. Shame only one sequel ;)

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

That Girl
Here is another old television program that I remember watching when I was younger 'That Girl' starring Marlo Thomas the daughter of Danny Thomas. Marlo Thomas played the character of Ann Marie a want-to-be actress who moved to New York City to pursue this dream. There were many situations in this show that could still be issues even today. For instance, parents who want the best for their children, but not sure if the children are ready as in Ann's father does not think she's ready. 'That Girl' is really a show for all decades even though it is set in the late sixties and very early seventies.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?

Hvent seen it but this was a great explanation of it
Let's not forget the absolute and total badassery of Ripley 😁
It's a poetic metaphor about loneliness, social isolation, and defeating the beast within. Just kidding! But another chilling summation. Great work.
Wow! You’re one roll! The actual Alien in this movie was a creature of nightmares. Such an iconic image that found its way into other films like alien vs predator and Prometheus. Excellent use of words in this critique. Well done!!!
That last line is a killer and hilarious and more or less true. Alien is the better of the two first films and is all you have said and more. Perfect in just about any way you can look at it. Bravo for this awesome critique.
