- Spivak 2y agoHuh? The end of the new Alien movie is deeply uncomfortable. You have to put it up front while the audience is still hyped to see the move. And it's a movie from 45 years ago that was so culturally significant that even if you never saw it you know what happens because you've seen other media reference it. It's a showing specifically for people who've already seen it. Special edition VHS tapes with director commentary put it at the beginning for the same reason. Which yeah, who even has VHS tapes anymore but its the one of the few non-cinema formats constrained by having to make everything serial where you can see the norm.
- polotics 2y ago"you" are what age in this? Alien 1979 is rated: R - Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
- dingnuts 2y agowhat is a VHS tape
- sitkack 2y agoI am talking about societal trends like "the trailer" now spoiling the entire movie before the movie. The OP was talking about seeing it IN the theater. They are presumably hyped. Alien is a wonderful movie, but that isn't my point at all.
- poincaredisk 2y ago>And it's a movie from 45 years ago that was so culturally significant that even if you never saw it you know what happens because you've seen other media reference it I don't (i only know there's an alien chest bursting scene). If I went to cinema and someone spoiled the movie for me, I'd just get up and leave because I hate spoilers. Though I don't watch a lot of movies and don't go to cinemas, so obviously my opinion doesn't matter.
