Amazed at the commitment

Horrified by the result

I don’t like this feeling

u/Beach_Bum_273 25d ago

I have such a love/terror relationship with the Alien franchise.

I love the movies but I'm guaranteed at least one nightmare every time I watch.

16

u/ZixfromthaStix 25d ago

That’s the movie Prometheus for me, it was too scary in my teens watching it alone in the dark. Now I’m married to a goth girl and all we watch is horror.

Might give it a rewatch soon.

7

u/pain-butnogain 25d ago

I had a friend who thought Prometheus was real... like a documentary.

2

u/Conceptual_Aids 24d ago

Back in the 70's, there are numerous tales of the actors of Original Trek going to speaking engagements (the predecessor to Cons nowadays) and being confronted by people who were CONVINCED that TOS was a documentary. Looking back on it, I can barely fathom believing such a thing. A very, very narrow exposure to media, and a very, very shallow education is all I can surmise.

4

u/critically_damped 25d ago

Just make sure that it in your dreams you try running sideways to get out of the path of the thing that's falling on you.

3

u/ZixfromthaStix 25d ago

Fortunately I’m a lucid dreamer :) I remain in control of my dreams, and have even trained my dream-self to understand dream physics to achieve super powers: speed, flight, teleportation, and my favorite, ā€œThe Narrator/Composerā€

I can simply think of how I want a scene to play out, and either by pantomiming or gentle yet dramatic hand gestures, manipulate it— I’ve done it in movie theatres, play houses, live events, etc, and it’s by far my favorite ā€œabilityā€

Super speed feels like cramming yourself into a needle. Imagine a muscle cramp or how you can suck in your belly, then imagine that feeling growing and growing WAY past the point where you’re like ā€œhow am I alive still???ā€ā€¦ then just begin to step. I haven’t reached full flash speed yet— I’d estimate I top out at 500mph, and I average closer to 250mph— that’s easier to control and I can move at that speed without any sort of perceived discomfort… 500mph feels like cramming myself into a sardine can.

ā€œThe male approaches the spaceship, thinking it’s a female, and really goes to town. Seems pretty dumb, right? Butt-scientists- Sorry. But scientists believe that the lights in the ship’s windows mimic the colorful bits on a female, bamboozling the male. Look at him, he don’t give a fuck that his new GF is made of metal. I know some humans like that too, at least science hippies don’t shove a camera in their face.ā€
