The New New World

That’s what made Alien so different.

New Frontier, but with chest bursters and acid blooded face huggers. Equal opportunity gory death.

@ManchuCandidate: CPAC 2016?

OMFG!

CPAC 2016 will be March 2nd – 5th, 2016 at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.

You cannot make this shit up!!

@¡Andrew!:
CPAC is Mos Eisley, but with more freaks in costume.

@ManchuCandidate: And gaylords.

@¡Andrew!:
Darth Fabulous?

@ManchuCandidate: The genius of Alien is that it was a horror movie with scifi trappings and a thorough infusion of Freudian symbolism.

That, and Sigourney Weaver in her underwear.

Highly recommended. My book club (which typically doesn’t go in for science fiction) really dug it. And the movie actually looks really promising.

@¡Andrew!: Even better: “Gaylord” is the name of the owner, the ultra-conservative publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review’s “Worst Newspaper in America,” the Daily Oklahoman.

@mellbell: My workmates — I have some now — and I are going to see it Wednesday. In 3D, which at least one trusted source strongly recommends.

Pointless movie, but the reclining theater chair was really comfy.

@nojo: And the alcohol and 3D?

@SanFranLefty: It wasn’t a Drafthouse so we had to do our consumption beforehand, and our booker reserved 2D by mistake. But now having seen it, I’m not sure what 3D would have added to the experience.

Not a bad movie, no false moves, couple of clever jokes, fun Donald Glover cameo. But it just feels like an extended meditation on the middle part of Apollo 13.
