But Alien is so beautiful! The visuals and atmosphere are gorgeous, and of course Sigourney Weaver

I hate fantasy movies too though - if I had to choose between watching Lord of the Rings and Star Trek, I'd probably opt to shoot myself. It would be quicker and less painful that the death from boredom that would surely ensue otherwise. |

The effects and set design of Alien are important but what makes it great is the way it builds suspense. The only thing that really holds up about The Excorcist is the priest's nightmare sequence unless you're a christian afraid of a lil devillin. Re: Salo, I think Pasolini made it aesthetic enough to where the horrific events taking place seem a step removed from reality. The reality of a two girls one cup is much more pukeworthy imo. Some contest the accusations leveled (rape and pedophilia) towards Sade as literal readings of his transgressive works but idk. This quote is great though Quote:

I'm not surprised that you have seen Salo. Have you seen Cannibal Holocaust as well? |

Hell yeah. From the opening to the chest burster is perfect in every way.

Ja it's great in its own way, but really only comparable to Salo in that it's graphic and Italian. Like, Avatar versus 2001: A Space Odyssey level different.
