Just bought a ticket to see Alien (1979) during my next Rochester trip. I've seen it once and don't remember much, but Wiki says it "was ranked by the American Film Institute as the seventh-best film in the science fiction genre, and as the thirty-third greatest film of all time by Empire magazine."
One of those movies that'll be great to see on the big screen.

OMG I was crushed to realize that when I randomly looked at the schedule for the local independent theater that I'd missed Alien by a week. Have ****ing fun.

Alien is the pinnacle of close encounter films due to it being literally filmed on a small spaceship filled with air ducts and nooks and crannies. I love the film and I hope you realize how amazing it is.

I wasn't even aware it was a thing. I'll remain dubious until I hear more but I am cautiously intrigued.

But in Googling it I did find that there is a new book/cash grab called "The Fall of Gondolin", which is one of the top 5 subjects in LOTR I have always wanted to be discussed in great depth so I'm actually more stoked for that. Mother****ing Gondolin, the greatest city in all of Middle-Earth's history. I'm hard now.

Tried to watch Evolution last night. God awful.
Obviously, Up in the Air was a total fluke. Dude's made one terrible movie after the other since Ghostbusters, which at the time was pretty damn entertaining.

I'm only interested in it because I want to see how much of the film shows Birmingham and the places in it that inspired the books but I have read the Wikipedia page and although it says it is focused on his early life, Birmingham is not mentioned once which is disappointing. |
