I thought the same! We had to use our imagination watching these movies on VHS on a 14" CRT TV from eight feet away.

100% agree! RotJ is where the cracks started to show. I think people forget this because all the nonsense that followed, starting with the Special Editions, makes RotJ seem restrained in comparison.

In the first half of the film the audience is meant to think that Ripley is a heartless bitch, especially the airlock scene when she refuses to let the landing party return aboard. I've always thought that her saving the cat was a great narrative device to show us that she isn't this cold, heartless person. She was doing what was necessary to save as many members of the crew as possible.

Yeah exactly, it seems like a such a shame that The Thing (1982) didn't find its audience until years later. Because I feel like that's as close as we got to seeing a John Carpenter film with a big budget and it was great.

John Carpenter > Steven Spielberg
