[@sammiemarie2033]

I missed seeing your reactions when you don't post lol. Your reactions always make my day ❤

[@Daniel-Strain]

Can't wait until you've seen BOTH Alien movies!

[@Daniel-Strain]

Some nice leathery 'Easter eggs' in this film lol.

[@T2DIDDY]

Dude ... ALIENS will be your new fave film ... or top 5 at least :-)

[@CERULEANSPIRAL]

It's the original head crab, lol. This movie is *all* the jumpscares. The chest-burster scene was genuine reactions because they didn't warn the actors. "Stupid science boner" "Caucasion looking worm"💀 Aliens is my favorite in the franchise, for sure. 🦎 Can't wait for your react to that one, lol.

[@murderofcrows5089]

Fun fact the actors did know about the alien but they didn’t know about the blood pack exploding

[@michaelsweenie-lane359]

Saw this 7 times in the theaters back in 1979 and many times since - A Masterpiece - The sequel "Aliens" is just as good and ramps up the action

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

I’m so jealous 😭 I can’t imagine seeing this in theatres, it’d be gorgeous!

[@willcool713]

The blinky-flashies on old mainframes actually corresponded to memory locations and active usage. The cockpit-like room for accessing Mother was actually simulating the networking as if from inside the ship's computer.

[@Lannisen]

The film where noone listens to the smart woman, then everyone dies except for the smart woman and her cat. Aliens is one of my favourite films, it's been my comfort film since I was in my teens, and it is more action since it's by James Cameron.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Tagline "In space no one can hear you scream" 2. Best explosion EVER 😱🏆💯(including Star Wars) 3. Dallas/Tom Skerritt also played Viper in "Top Gun" and Strawberry in "Up in Smoke". 4. Brett/Harry Dean Stanton had a very healthy resume. We lost him recently.😇 5. Ridley Scott is also known for directing the original "Bladerunner". 6. The hanging bodies weren't in the original release. They didn't expect a sequel. You should.

[@BigGator5]

Classic sci-fi horror. The tension is so thick, you will need a sharp steak knife in order to cut it. The voice of "Mother" is so iconic, in my honest opinion. There's something unnerving about a cold feminine voice counting down to your death. It wasn't until GLaDOS that we rediscovered that a computerized female voice can be absolutely creepy. Fun Fact: In H.R. Giger's original illustrations that inspired the look of the Alien, the creature had eyes. For the movie, Giger insisted that the creature have no eyes, thus giving the bleak appearance of a cold and emotionless beast that hunts by smell. Real Guts Fact: The dead facehugger that Ash (Ian Holm) autopsies was made using fresh shellfish, four oysters, and a sheep kidney to re-create the internal organs. Filming had to be done quickly because the organic material would go bad very fast under the studio lights. Bloody Solution Fact: It was conceptual artist Ron Cobb who came up with the idea that the Alien should bleed acid. This came about when Dan O'Bannon ran into a wall with the screenplay on how to handle the last half of the movie. He needed a good reason for why the crew members don't just shoot the thing and kill it but still not make it an indestructible monster that can't be killed. The acid blood was the idea that solved this problem.

[@Roseforthethorns]

Yep! 1979- Star Wars helped clear a TON of sci-fi. The Xenomorph is a dude in a suit, and they covered that suit in KY jelly. It’s why it looks so gloopy and slick.

[@guywholivesforart]

Holy crap, you've never seen Alien?? You will love this series. Every installment in the series is worth watching; each movie has a completely different directorial style and aesthetic; I love all of them. I really appreciate your videos, by the way. They cheer me up when I'm having a rough day, and I've had a lot of those lately. I'm currently watching the Saw movies for the first time and following your reactions as I go; thank you for taking the time and effort for not just react to events in the movie, but also actively reflect upon and speculate about elements in the title.

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

REAAALLLLLL!!! Just shook violently because of how true this was and how happy it makes meee

[@melenatorr]

Actually, you should trust Jonesy: he's always aware of the Alien, and reacts to when it's around: he sure does it with Brett; and he growls in the shuttle because he knows they have extra company. Always save the cat. Always save the cat.

[@jameshunt9208]

When Ash says "Don't touch it!" Its because its blood is acid.

[@_mad_cat_]

Fun fact : Ash is played by the same actor who played Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings.

[@Keyboardje]

The crew are NOT experts or scientists, except for Ash, the science officer. They are merely space miners.

[@omega311888]

and remember, ash was put on the ship right before they left. the company knew the signal was of alien origin.

[@joek468]

He's a robot, Bilbo Baggins is a God Damn robot!

[@stevesheroan4131]

I will NEVER understand why people get aggravated with Ash for telling Parker “Don’t touch it!!!!!!!” regarding the chest-burster. The acid blood had already been established, and I would have been screaming the same thing, especially if the dining room was on a lower level of the ship where there may be a shorter distance for the acid to breach the hull. Ash’s motivations and agenda are not known at the time, so this may not be his reasoning either, but either way I would be trying to figure out how to capture the alien, not cut it open with a knife.

[@gerrya2133]

People who have skepticism (willfully skeptical and suspicious and not simply surprised) ignore the fact that this movie came out 44 years ago. Generations (with an S) of people have been born after this movie was released. It shouldnt be surprising at all that there are people that haven't seen this.

[@chadlynch1551]

You're going to love Aliens. The sequel has a lot more action. Must see.

[@TheCaptainSlappy]

Listen... we need to discuss The Bonus Situation. Even the cat gets a full share.

[@genny5309]

Ripley is a serious badass woman & Sigourney Weaver is iconic in this role. Listen to the smart woman.

[@PedroCastillo_1980]

Thank you Professor for reacting this masterpiece Alien directed by Ridley Scott and starring by Sigourney Weaver just excellent. I suggest and I hope you will reacts this classic movies: Chariots of Fire (1981) Revenge of the Nerds (1984) Saturday Night Fever (1977) Casualties of War (1989) Midnight Cowboy (1969) Teen Wolf (1985) The Crying Game (1992) White Nights (1985) Cadillac Man (1990) and The Party (1968) all highly recommended for you bro👍👍👍👍

[@deeasztalos2520]

Great reaction! I saw this movie when it first came out in '79 (I was 22 at the time). I remember seeing the trailer on TV. I was so scared before the movie even started! The tension when Ripley was running through the ship was almost unbearable. It's one of my top 2 favorite movies and I've lost count of how many times I've seen it. It's amazing on the big screen.

[@radwolf76]

No better day than the egg holiday to upload this. Also, for more about the cat, check out the book "Jonsey: Nine Lives on the Nostromo"

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

"Alien" franchis is my favorite sci-fi franchise. I like it more than Star Wars, Star Trek, Any Comic Universe, etc.

[@wexadexwes527]

Love grabbing a cup of tea after work and sitting down to watch a film 'with' you man

[@digidv85]

It's pretty much unanimous with the fans that this series goes straight downhill after Aliens. Alien3 which was David Fincher's directing debut, was definitely the wrong direction to move forward. Resurrection didn't help at all, either. It's your decision of course to keep indulging or not.

[@KingXenos]

Hate to tell you thins man but the Thing reminds you of this in the arctic. This film came out in 1979 and the thing came out in 1982.

[@gotowned6227]

hey man i love your reactions! i don't know if you've ever thought about it but i think you doing some collab reactions could be fun! i feel like you and Thor Reacts could be a good combo just based on looks lol but also i feel like just your vibes and humor could mix with Mellverse! Great video looking forward to some more!

[@colinfarren8326]

With this one it was the Weyland-Yutani company that ordered the ship to put down on LV427, and the wonderful John Hurt (RIP) has one of the best death scenes ever filmed. Unfortunately the cast didn't know they were going to get drenched with gallons of pig blood. So the screams and reactions are very real at the dinner table as John Hurt's chest explodes. Ian Holm also stands out as the psycho synth.

[@GeoffTrowbridge]

Glad you're takling this plunge! I saw "Alien" in the theater at the age of nine and it was amazing. Terrifying, but amazing. The second film ("Aliens") is just as good as the first (if not better), but it's a very different style -- far more action-oriented, with a different director (James Cameron), but still very faithful to the original. The third film is more of a nihilistic psychological thriller, and is directed by David Fincher. Most fans HATE the third film because Fincher took everything that had been established by Cameron in the prior film and took a big steamy sh!t on it. Myself, I like the idea of a super-dark Alien film, but I just don't care much for how they went about it. It's a "meh" for me. The fourth movie is just fecking weird. They brought in Joss Whedon to do the script, so he basically wrote Buffy the Vampire Slayer In Space. Then they got French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who gave the whole thing a goofy "Fifth Element" sort of vibe. Personally I can't stand it, but some fans do like the campiness. There there are the "Alien vs. Predator" films, and the two "Prometheus" prequels, each of which I watched once and have no desire to see again.

[@nmt2k2]

I saw that I'm not the first person to say this, but I also saw this seven nights in a row when it played at the local movie theater. Scared the ever-living s*** out of me, I had to bring somebody else with me every night to share the experience with.

[@mimig3904]

My older sister took me to see Alien when I was 8 and it deeply scarred me. I'm OK with all other scary movies, & The Thing was a favorite. But to this day I haven't seen the Alien sequels. I may watch them secondhand through you though.

[@KartalaBreed]

There's nothing up with the cat. It's just a cat. lol

[@gregorygant4242]

It was made , shown in 1979 this movie , late 70's . I saw this when I was like 12 yrs old , it scared the crap out of and blew me away ! Some 40 years later it still blows me away , a masterpiece of sci-fi horror filmmaking !

[@clairvoyancy351]

This movie is one of my absolute favorites. I remember putting on this and The Thing for a group of 14 girls at my 6th grade sleepover, and the screams of terror at the chestburster scene.

[@lambsauce6585]

Nice I was waiting for your alien reaction

[@murderofcrows5089]

I’m convinced that the top two reasons everyone loves Ripply is because 1) she’s a serious badass and 2) she’s a horror movie character who doesn’t do stupid stuff for the sake of being stupid looking at you Kane

[@Otokichi786]

A young KZbin viewer is boarding the "Nostromo." What will this modern make of an "old, long, slow-moving, character-centered, no-DFX" movie? Newspaper and TV ads said only: "In space, no one can hear you scream." 3:35 The Space Jockey, a mystery for decades. 4:43 Second Officer Kane = Zapp Brannigan. 5:09 How's THAT for a Jump Scare? 5:20 This conversation has become iconic due to recent events. 5:57 The Face Hugger, grossing out audiences for decades. 6:25 Acid Blood solved a script problem. 8:41 A Props dept. work of ART, made of sea animals. DFX can't match this level of reality. 9:52 Kane's last meal. 10:22 The Xenomorph, scaring audiences since 1979. 10:48 Burial at sea is an old maritime tradition that spares next-of-kin the grisly details 12:00 Along came Jones. 13:21 Say hello to Bolaji Badejo. 14:12 How's that for a "syntax error"? 16:29 In 1979, this was my "WTF? Ash ISN'T Human!?" moment. 17:14 Almost nobody saw this coming. 19:24 I've read that Lambert is standing in for us, the audience. 20:36 Escape route cut off, stop Destruct to gain time for Plan B. 23:13 Tonight's entree of the shuttle "Narcissus" is Steamed Xenomorph in Shell. 23:33 Correction: Char-Broiled Xenomorph. This and the next film made newcomer Sigourney Weaver into a major movie star. Together with Linda Hamilton of "The Terminator," we have two female Action movie stars and Badass characters. "Jennifer Lawrence"? Who is that?;)

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

The Thing is a Shapeshifter, no one has seen it's true form.

[@melanated_persephone2334]

Yassss!!! I can’t wait for you to go on this Sci-fi journey. You should definitely checked out the prequels Prometheus and Covenant. Happy Easter!!!🐇

[@lorettabes4553]

I didn't know anything about this movie except the chest scene and finally watched it last year! I still need to watch the sequels. Loved this movie, the quiet thiller aspect work so well for tension. Ripley being the only one who makes good calls is such a strong character decision. Never seen an android like in this movie, with the white goo and weird organic vibes. It's so interesting! The only scene I didn't like was Ripley undressing, but now I see it's so she can slip into the suit. Still, I did not enjoy that lingering shot 😅

[@irina1296]

I really love The Thing but I prefer Alien by a long shot - my favorite Sci-Fi film ever. I hope you will watch the rest of Alien films plus Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is another brilliant Sci-Fi/Horror film.

[@mikemath9508]

JONESY!

[@ChronosTachyon]

22:00 I am now reminded of a scene from the 1980s incarnation of Teen Wolf.

[@toodlescae]

Mr. Ollivander (Harry Potter) gets a face hugger and a chest burster. Bilbo Baggins (LOTR) is an android obeying cold-blooded orders from HQ.

[@dooickouski]

The director didn’t tell any of the actors that the alien was going to pop out of the guy’s chest so they would freak out more when it happened

[@Panzer4F2]

I saw this at the theatre. It was really dark, and you never got a good look at the critter. I liked the space suit and ship designs. It all looked realistic. Enjoyed the twists, with Dallas not being the central hero, and Ash being a synthetic. Do yourself a favour and watch the next one, then stop. Other than an underwater scene in the fourth or fifth movie they were completely forgettable.

[@paulchristensen7]

If you like horror games you’d probably love Alien Isolation too.

[@lucysky7538]

You should watch They Live!, next, it’s a John Carpenter film and it’s about something that looks human but isn’t and about classism and futuristic Los Angeles

[@joskokrstulovic1258]

I can't wait for Alien 2, Ridley Scott directed this one,James Cameron directed Alien 2,also good!

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

I can't wait for next year's new Series AND movie on Hulu

[@strongdecaf3729]

Believe in Cat! Always have faith in Cat. 🐾🐾🐈‍⬛

[@Panzer4F2]

The black engineer was played by Yaphet Kotto. He slipped into that role so easily that I did not recognize him. In 1973 he had played the James Bond villain Mr. Big in Live and Let Die.

[@scaramoochscaramooch]

See Aliens!!

[@jeremybr2020]

While I do believe this movie to be one of the best ever made, I do want someone to explain to me the logic of having an escape shuttle that is only big enough for like 2 people, on a ship that has 6 crew members. How does that make any sense whatsoever?

[@vintagehawk1613]

You need to watch the THING (2011) it’s not a remake it’s a prequel to the first one and it explains what happened to the Norwegian camp the ones who discovered it

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

My second favourite movie of all time!!! Sure hope you say zero bad things about it despite its age :) (Some of the special effects haven’t aged great, but I DO NOT CARE!!! It’s still utter perfection, second favourite ONLY to Coraline because I love stop motion)

[@rx303303]

Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are the two OG 'strong woman' movie characters.

[@dooickouski]

Ridely and Sarah Conner are two of the baddest bitches of classic cinema

[@dabegmister]

I love all 4 of the movies I don't care what anyone says they are great

[@edwardfischer3944]

If some of the 1979 ALIEN movie items were for sale, such as that skimpy little pair of panties that Sigourney Weaver had on at the end of the film. How much would you bid on that ? A one of a kind collectors item! 😉🥰😍🤔🤨😘😗🤑

[@donnybuoy]

Alien over Aliens ANY day!

[@colinfarren8326]

Subscribed dude :o)

[@vicegamer6944]

There's a story going around about a deleted scene where the alien had 2 of them being morphed into eggs.

[@bombird8813]

If you’re gonna watch alien 3, watch the assembly cut its actually really good. Resurrections is meh imo. And I actually really love Prometheus and Alien Covenant.

[@angelavalentino5146]

Must see Aliens. (Don’t watch Alien 3, trust me). Make sure to watch Predator and Predator 2, ester egg. Then, Predators (alien planet) and/or Alien vs Predator movies.

[@leonmrs16]

Dope 🇧🇷

[@L1VE3V1L]

Only one more movie to watch, Aliens. The rest is shitty fanfiction and doesn’t matter. Don’t waste your time.

[@armchairgravy8224]

[@qwerty-so6ml]

H R Giger was the artist behind "the Alien" creature. It was inspired by nightmares that he would sketch out upon waking. Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. AND YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A MOVIE ? Revelation 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. REMEMBER THE SCENE WITH DALLAS SAYING "KILL ME"? 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. 10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

[@mikelarsen5836]

He gets 👎👎👎 for never having seen this movie before! 🙄

[@mistyxmarlboro]

So you’re not looking for actual first time reactions?

[@Iiva69]

Ah, lucky you to experience these for the first time. I love all of the alien movies but they are all very different from each other and are best enjoyed not trying to compare to others. I even love the Prometheus movies even though they have some problems but they do have a great actor who always brings his A game to every movie his in. You're in for a ride.😊
