  Revisiting Gene Hackman's filmography

  Alien 1979

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Feb 2025

  Watched the 16mm Super 8 version of this. Condensed down to 17 mins, scenes are entirely cut or reduced to just stick to the main narrative without lingering too much.

It's like you're going through the video files from deep within the data of the Nostromo.
