Believe it on not,
Alien does not hate Ripley.
She sees her as an impediment.
To this single MOM raising her brood
humans beings are nutritious food —
their purpose is alimentary.
Food.
If cinema alien creatures require it,
I would prefer that it die
quietly,
without screaming and grand guignol FX.
Why can't movies treat slaughter like sex?
Showing less, implying more.
How entertaining is killing floor gore?
Who needs to know what Alien did?
Who wrote the screenplay?
Was't perhaps Thomas Kyd*?
The Alien
franchise would have made me a leaver,
if I
did not so enjoy seeing Sigourney Weaver.
