- Another YT Video Essay for Alien Fans (why not!?)

About 10 mins. Focuses on some of the shooting and camera choices in Alien.
Specifically how "dirty shots" were used ("dirty" meaning some unfocused object "dirties" up the shot) and how the 2 camera setup were used.
I think the video was trying to make a point about how Alien was kinda "modern" in this regard. I don't know cinema theory well enough to know ... definitely interesting though!
Either way ... it's some Alien appreciation and this little snippets are definitely good reminders of how awesome the film is.
- Did anyone else watch Madame Web? (Villain discussion and spoilers)
Just finished watching this and I was blown away by how little depth they gave the bad guy. I don't know his name because they only said it twice. He makes his entrance shooting his two buddies and then saying he had to do it and that no one helped his family when he was starving. He then tells the protagonists mom she should just walk away, before shooting her when she refuses.
And then that just repeats the whole movie. He attacks people, and says he was poor earlier in his life. He also tells Madame Web to walk away. No flashbacks, no explanations, no monologues, no ideals. No depth. I actually love him as a character because he is so one dimensional and ruthless, closer to Jason Vorhees than Thanos. Its just a very odd decision from a writing perspective. Also he kind of talks like Tommy Wiseau.
Besides him the movie wasn't great. Feels more like it was on the writers/director than the on stage talent though.
