We hide behind our space couches and revisit the horror of 1979’s Alien, the (only) Ridley Scott movie about space predators (worth talking about). Tom Skerritt, the white male captain and thus surely ultimate survivor, leads a small crew of industrial tow-jockeys against a clingy, gooey menace. Also Sigourney Weaver is there.
In a cut scene, it said, “Crew expendible, protect cat at all costs.”
