Regular reminder that the literal 1st full conversation in ALIEN is a contract negotiation, & that everything that goes wrong throughout those movies happens because the Weyland-Yutani Corporation programmed all of its "AI" systems to put any possibility of profit over & above the lives of the crew.

A while back I was arguing with one of those "keep politics out of my entertainment!" types, and explaining that nearly all stories include some form of socio-political message. As counter-example, he listed three classics that he swore had no message in them: Predator, Terminator, and Alien. 😳

My friend and I have a shorthand of referring to Paul Reiser when we're perplexed by people growing up with stories like Aliens and ending up like Paul Reiser's character.

I never thought about it that way, but arguably Alien has a bit of cyberpunk genre flavor in there between all the space scifi horror.

The villain of those movies is Weyland-Yutani. The xenomorph is just a wild animal doing it's thing, the company is knowingly sending people into a meat grinder for money

If everyone had just listened to the Smart Woman and followed protocol they'd have been alright. Instead only she and the cat get out alive.

My working theory on people who really love politicians like Mayor Pete and Kamala Harris is that they watched ALIENS and believed Paul Reiser was the hero.

I like to think Prometheus is actually about the Elon Musk ego sized CEO. (Because it totally is).
