I saw this movie at the cinema in 1979 when it was released. I was 14, therefore 4 years too young to see it (UK, "X Certificate), but a member of friend group with a gruff voice went to the ticket office).

Large cinema, packed out, lots of excited mumbling until the film started.

After the face-hugger jump shot, total and absolute silence. And the at the chest-burster scene... absolute chaos. Screams. Real screams, not happy roller coaster screams. A few people leaving, unable to take it.

And it got me. It hit me hard. I had deliberately avoided any description of the movie so had no expectations, and then this happened, ,right there in front of me. The gore, the realistic acting, the pain of John Hurt...oh my...

That set the scene for the rest of the movie and you knew they weren't fucking about.

It traumatized me for weeks. Superb movie.

Edited on request.

Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

But they're fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what's the problem?

I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don't want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?

Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don't. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.

Seriously, what's the point?

Don't forget, Porkshire, Wankashire and the Norfuck broads.

I'm not a physicist (read "couldn't do the maths“) but MOND feels closer to an natural, organic explanation than Dark Matter. Are there planets formed from Dark Matter? Are there elements and dark molecular structures?

Please can I have a motorcycle made of it?

 

First ever post, so I hope this is structured OK and hello to all fellow Lemmy migrants! Anyway, here's my question: is there a UK News community? I've found world news and of course CasualUK, but it'd be great to have a community focused on genuinely important headlines of the days with a focus on my home nation. Am I missing something obvious or isn't there such a thing on Lemmy.world just yet? I'm still just fumbling my way around.
