Scary Thoughts #122 - Alien3 (David Fincher – 1992)
Update: 2024-11-20
Description
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full">
</figure> David Fincher's first film, Alien 3 (1992), is a notorious example of studio meddlers clashing with an auteur-minded director, leaving a franchise in the khazi.
It's a shame, because xenomorphs are basically money makers. The film has some solid performances and a gloriously grimy setting.
But alas, the film (both cuts) is a mess. The special effects are majorly downgraded from Aliens. The plot is full of more holes than a pair of old Weyland-Yutani panties. But they did manage to give Sigourney the noble death she wanted along with a suitcase full of money.
We keep fairly on topic this episode. Marc's hatred for the film simmers beneath, while Chad tries to conjure Kanye conjecture. It's a solid one.
