After reading numerous articles regarding the making of ALIEN, it comes across as Giler and O'Bannon never got along right from the start, and Hill and Giler (Giler especially) wanted to craft their own story and leave "the plebe" back on the couch.<br /><br />It's kind of sad, really.. how some people like Raimi and Jackson go on to make big budget movies, whereas O'Bannon and others get close to reaching the flame but something goes awry and their chance slips away. ask_monrovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035860091052541588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-51492227016493505602016-02-21T15:47:15.737-08:002016-02-21T15:47:15.737-08:00That's the stupidest idea ever!

Such hubris to think they knew anything about what the public expected from a good sci-fi movie... They really had themselves in high regard, didn't they?Leandro263https://www.blogger.com/profile/13310504276502264703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-79161593169429053602014-06-26T04:48:44.075-07:002014-06-26T04:48:44.075-07:00ask_monroville 22 posted "By the way, here is...ask_monroville 22 posted "By the way, here is some more information from the article WRITING ALIEN:<br />http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2013/03/05/writing-alien/ " along with the rest of the essay. I have reposted though his main comment with the URL so that people can read the essay should they so wish, but have not reposted the essay here because I think the writer ought to have the essay read in the context of his own site and be able to make whatever changes without being too concerned about what versions of it from the past have been posted wherever.wmmvrrvrrmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052091646279943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-54252069524208667882013-10-22T21:52:00.783-07:002013-10-22T21:52:00.783-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ask_monrovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035860091052541588noreply@blogger.com
