Flaws of Alien. Not joking

[Huggs]

Also when the camera guy hits those hanging decorations during the Ash meltdown. It's like the camera hits them and the noise attracts ash's attention. It's like a fourth wall break.

Ooh, the camera bumping the consoles in the beginning on the bridge.

When's that?

Right at the beginning, on the ship's bridge (with the rustling papers).

[SM]

How does it bump the console?  The camera tracks past as a chair twists on its stand which isn't anywhere near the camera.

My favourite "fourth wall break" is a brief shot of Sigourney Weaver looking right at the camera, during the Nostromo take-off scene.

I'd forgotten about that one.

Don't know. Ask your buddy, SiL.

I thought the chair twisting round was because the ship's master computer was preparing to awaken the crew by pumping air into the ship.

I believe it does bump one.

Perhaps, but how would you explain the rustling papers?

[Voodoo Magic]

Could it be the unnatural wiggle of the fingers, as the hands splay outwards, that bothers you?

I don't think so. It's just less a motion of attack to me and more of a you-just-witnessed-my-magical-trick! TADA!

Either that or "smell my fingers"

Or.... that..... 

[SiL]

That shot is literally one second long, give it some slack

Yay for you trying to control my opinion?

Sorry if it bothers you, but it has always bothered me, regardless the duration.

Holy shit dude, I was clearly being jovial. Stop acting like I'm attacking you every time I have the nerve to respond to you, the victim complex is getting tiresome.

After the paper rustle you hear the sound again but without the chair rocking, but I could be wrong.

The scene is more terrifying in the comic book adaptation.

I did.

And exactly.

The sound is the chair rocking.

[SiL]

If the chair's a-rockin' I guess the camera didn't come a-knockin'.
