In Reply to: Saw Alien yesterday. Frankly, what's all the fuss about? posted by clarkjohnsen on November 7, 2003 at 07:05:00:
It was a scary-ass film. Alien is to movies what Led Zepplin is to music. The movie spawned an evolving genre of scifi and horror films that will continue on . . .Each passing year we become more jaded in our viewing experiences and movies lose their relevance. Ie., Chainsaw Massacre is now laughable, MASH is barely tolerable, etc. To that tune Alien may not impress you--just as Matrix 3 probably won't either.
I guess you've got a problem with Ridley's "Legend", huh?
