Real Vs. Reel

With­out her emo­tional dis­play of wak­ing from her night­mares it would not have been believ­able that she would want to face the mon­sters that dom­i­nate her sleep in real life again. In addi­tion, she knew she was betrayed by Weyland-Yutani as a crew mem­ber of the Nos­tromo and that she would have to trust them again that she would not be expend­able. After see­ing this movie so many times, I got this deep sense that many of the Marines sent in to res­cue the colonists were absolutely expend­able and I often won­der if they didn’t mean for Rip­ley to die as well.

How would lit­tle baby Jabba ever grow up to leave his world and be the king­pin of a black mar­ket in a dan­ger­ous cor­ner of the Star Wars galaxy? He’s got no fingers!
