very good 🐏
Great documentary. Loved learning about the Lovecraft and Francis Bacon influences.
Good, but some of the commentary was silly and uninteresting.
Starts off strong by discussing the writing of the script, Giger's artwork, and getting the film in production. However, once they start talking about the chest burster scene, it becomes all they talk about. A solid 50% of the documentary seems just to be about that one scene. It's a great scene but I would've loved more discussion of Ripley, xenomorphs, the rest of the series, etc.
*Marge Simpsonvoice* I just think [it's] neat!
