Watched the movie ‘Alien’

I just saw ‘Alien‘ for the first time. Fun stuff, but I guess knowing a lot of the famous scenes in it ruined it a bit. But still, it’s interesting to see how well the special effects for this horror/action movie is, when it was made back in 1979 (about same time as Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back.) I have the DVDs for the entire quadrilogy (a word coined by the Alien series; the proper term is actually ‘tetralogy’), and so I’ll probably watch at least Aliens, since I heard it was good, but the last two weren’t nearly as good.

    You watch too many scary movies. I have not watched a single horror film all the way through yet, and I don’t plan to.

    that’s true Gary, take time to sample the palette that media has to offer, you’ll find horror films are the least appreciated

    I think you watch more movies than anyone at ACI. More than me, Jacky, Ada, Chris, and Chuan combined I think =P

    Yeah, probably. And, horror is my least-watched film genre. I probably watch one horror movie every 4 months.
