Different vibe, to be sure, but that's why the franchise used a different, visually distinct director each time: To give each movie a completely different vibe. Ridley Scott is a smoke-machine on two legs, Cameron is "movement all over the place here, man!" incarnate, Fincher turned Alien into "Fight Club with Funny Accents," and Jean-Pierre Juenet's turn ended up looking like nothing so much as "Amelie in a *REALLY* Bad Mood."Dave O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614887143518461047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-26684318110503873742009-05-13T17:15:00.000-07:002009-05-13T17:15:00.000-07:00Alien is one of those movies where if I'm channel ...Alien is one of those movies where if I'm channel surfing and come across it, I'm stuck to the end. <br />Braveheart, The Princess Bride and The Shawshank Redemption fall into this category as well (I hope they make your list).<br /><br />Another point: most sequels tend to... well... suck. But Aliens was actually quite entertaining as well.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-67743300552155953742009-05-13T07:32:00.000-07:002009-05-13T07:32:00.000-07:00Glad someone out there is noticing -- I feel a lit...Glad someone out there is noticing -- I feel a little bit like that guy in the auditorium, tapping the microphone and saying, "Is this thing ON?"Dave O'Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05614887143518461047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355709063431328024.post-55463378888286516212009-05-13T05:40:00.000-07:002009-05-13T05:40:00.000-07:00Couldn't agree with you more on #49.
