Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
The audience were a little too exhausted by Alien to readily accept the paranoid tension of Body Snatchers. It was 5am, we were tired, the colour balance was off, Donald Sutherland had a silly moustache, etc. Alas.
As far as alien paranoia goes, I think I prefer The Thing; your mileage may vary. Both are worth seeing, that's for sure.
