Aliens burst forth, take it to the chest, and give the Queen the slime! This is the 80's and the time is now to appreciate the phenomenon. Full of spurred innovations and concepts that are repeated even today! Never say Die. Movies taught us so much! Never give up and all that, we can keep up the heroics despite the odds! Many a "Die Hard" has aspired to tell the tales of when time gets too difficult! Keep it hip and teach these newcomers, have an explosive good time.
Indeed, still with us always, through any means necessary, we've got the Moxy and Stamina! On to the Big Screen that tests our nerves and wellbeing!
I believe "Alien" was released June 22nd, 1979, and that spelled success to costumes and makeup departments bringing in the foreboding dwellers of space! The 1st suit was actually quite thin but large, but again, was not CGI and instead was a person in a suit! The now television shows like The Collectors Call have these suits being shown off in collections that in turn have made museums. All the right place and the right time. The 1st Alien Suit from the 1st movie is owned by someone who used to act on the show Leave it to Beaver. It is nice to see normal tendencies being exhibited into a hobby by the classics of old when things and materials seemed new. It is when those modern telling's and avenues lose their intrigue that it is then seen as "too old or outdated", while the Alien movies tend to hold strong long into the early 2000's. With now prequels of prequels using similar stunts with a bit of CGI, one wonders if the effects "hit the fans" with the same wonderment, but it is all for the name of the game and genre.
