Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I get it. The Xenomorph's head kinda looks like a dick. Giger is a perve yada yada yada.

But jeez. I am honestly so tired of reading about how phallic the Xenomorph is. They're beautiful hungry guys, and they've been done so dirty by time and freshman film studies essays.

I don't doubt this is true but I feel like you couldn't have a worse source than a Valnet site

Actual artistic insight into the decision making that went on during the production of Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien. Back when people actually put thought and effort into movies.

Alien trilogy is must-watch yearly for me, but the whole thing reads like insane tumblr fan fiction! I don't know if the director actually said that, but If you follow any scifi or fantasy medium about cosmic or demonic monsters that scares the shit out of people, you'll find similar horrific themes on how the monster preys on its victims. I can promise you no man or woman watched aliens and screamed payback!

Do you lack comprehension skills? It is literally spelt out for you what it means...

I must be one of the few who just didn't care for Alien. I still don't understand what makes this movie so well-received.

A horror movie is well done when it able to instill fear and anguish.

These folks have to try to ruin everything even the classics. If described like this Alien movies seem less scary and more dump. I have to forget this ASAP because i really liked the original movies.
