I read some of those 1979 alien reviews. I love how harsh they are and these days every review is positive!
It's constantly compared to Jaws and Star Wars and clearly viewed to be inferior.
To be fair those reviews aren't even unfair, just think about those when you're about to hate Covenant even Alien wasn't seen as an original film back in it's day...
I also like how blockbuster summer films already got mocked in the seventies 
Times aren't a changing Bob Dylan!

It's a great blog and i really like it for years now. What i would like to see would be some more information about the development of the various DC and other versions of the Alien Movies.

I did archive this article by Charles de Lauzirika concerning the Alien 3 assembly cut: https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/finding-fincher/

This article also tells of the alien 3 problems. Is it legit?

Here's a wee article I wrote on an annoying little legend: https://alienseries.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/alien/

It did the rounds after Avatar and again in 2015. Hopefully this will pre-empt another reccurence

Be nice but I doubt it.

If I had a dollar for every time people moan about 'Cameron turned them into bugs' and I direct them to The Insect Influence for a bit of perspective, I'd have, well, a few dollars.

Yeah, someone on Reddit was arguing this point with me today. They always come back with some rubbish, I usually end up having to ignore them. When people are adamant that Cameron ruined Alien for them then they tend to stick to it no matter what. Ridley's quotes about it being based directly on insects has them coming back with all sorts of logical gymnastics. One I got today was "But he nowhere said it FULLY imitated [insects, whereas] In Aliens everything was FULLY grounded in real life social insect biology."

Insects clearly can cut the power of your households people RUN!!!
