ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one...
A THREAD ....

- giger´s xenomorphs alien is one of the .. if not the most iconic design icons of the last century i think...neverscared
- ^ it’s simply perfect.Ramanisky2
- @ramanski same here!
I think the original Alien still holds its own against lot of recent films. Less is more, in camera practical effects mostly !!!dee-dubs - @scruff most def. Some amazing set design. Take a trip on the Nostromo.garbage
- I'm always a bit jealous when peeps say they've never seen something like this. Watch on the biggest screen with loudest audio you can find!MrT
- ^ Seconding biggest screen / loudest audio. If the first few minutes don't hook you, please report to an ER.garbage
- I’m gonna watch them! I love the saga.maquito
- 3 is such a disappointment. One of the proposed scripts was written by William Gibson, and it would have been much better.garbage
- Intergalactic communists fail to weaponize the xenomorphs to combat , and they drift into what's essentially a space station strip mall.garbage
- Meanwhile Weyland-Yutani is also trying to weaponize the xeno DNA to fight the space commies, and accidentally cause an outbreak of hybrid human xenosgarbage
- that kill everyone in the space mall.garbage

- i had one that refused to leave the garage the other day. we took him out, he was like... nah, i like it in there. *sproing*imbecile
- Wild how his head & eyes locked on to my finger as I moved it slowly left to right. Def an alien from Men in Black.Ramanisky2
- Great shot! Fun fact: You can buy mantis pods online for cheap, and they are natural pest control.garbage
- Granted, you're probably introducing an invasive species, but it's better than pesticides.garbage
- Only issue with them as pest control is that they’re highly canibalistic we used to collect them as kids and as soon as the grasshoppers ran out they’d turn_niko
- And eat each other._niko
- This is true. I tried to convince my gf that we should consider mantids when we had a scale problem on some of our bigger house plants.garbage
- My argument was basically "They're not going to be everywhere, they're going to eat themselves to death once the job is done".garbage
- ^ The More You KnowRamanisky2
- Yeah, the reason they rarely get to the size in your photo (again, very awesome) is that she had definitely eaten some brothers and sisters.garbage
