Ridley Scot's Alien
Better than The Thing
No one can hear you scream in the vacuum of space.
Claustrophobia in the empty void. A perfect monster hiding in the shadows. Practical effects. Disturbing androids. Corporate dystopia.
Crew expendable.
The Nostromo, as influential a starship as the X-Wing. Ripley, badass heroine inspiring generations. Shame only one sequel ;)

The Wyrm King
'The Wyrm King' the third and final volume of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. In this volume the fantastical characters are really showing themselves and their various talents. Nick and Laurie and family and still learning and making compromises as well as promises trying to be kept in helping the Nixie's and the other people and entities. Nick along with all the others learn how to help each other past and present. Once again Holly Black's artwork would make great coloring pages. All of these books thanks to Tony and Holly were great show and tell books for all ages.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

Hvent seen it but this was a great explanation of it
Let's not forget the absolute and total badassery of Ripley 😁
It's a poetic metaphor about loneliness, social isolation, and defeating the beast within. Just kidding! But another chilling summation. Great work.
Wow! You’re one roll! The actual Alien in this movie was a creature of nightmares. Such an iconic image that found its way into other films like alien vs predator and Prometheus. Excellent use of words in this critique. Well done!!!
That last line is a killer and hilarious and more or less true. Alien is the better of the two first films and is all you have said and more. Perfect in just about any way you can look at it. Bravo for this awesome critique.
