Although I enjoyed both "Alien" and "Bladerunner" upon their initial
releases, I find it hard to watch them now due to boredom. In "Alien"
after the surprise/shock value wears off, it comes off as too slow-paced. However, I do enjoy watching it every 6 or 7 years, just once,
and I have to be very stoned at that just to endure that pace, although I do enjoy the classic "chest-bursting" scene EVERYTIME I
watch. Also, the scene where the Alien drops down behind Harry Dean
Stanton, while Stanton is looking for a cat, is timeless and never
fails to mesmerize me. Concerning boredom: ditto for 2001 Space
