Alien production still.

Yes!

As an italian, I'm annoyed when they portray italians as sterotypes and as much as i like the Ripley movie with Matt Damon, the italian rep was very stereotypical.

(although the 'Tu vo' fa l'americano' scene with Fiorello is still a great scene)

While in the netflix version all the italian characters are tridimensional, there are little things in and there in thier characterization that only italian people can easily understand (the palermo inspector vs the rome inspector, the porter's comments about how it doesn't work anything in italy), and last but not least, every italian character that speaks english speaks their own english and you can guess where and how they maybe learnt it (the receptionist had to learn it because of their work, the Atrani people maybe because of american soldiers during the war, ravini is probably from a rich family and went on vacation in Britain) and why they don't use certain words and how they spell them (see ravini that spells Dickie as 'deekee', or that use some italian words in the conversation not knowing the english correspondants)

anyway, great series especially for italian rep

Ripley is so much more respectful towards Italy and Italians than any of the other adaptations, I don't care what the people complaining that this doesn't fit their idealised versions say!!

HORROR’S NEXT TOP GENDER FINALS: Ellen Ripley (Alien) vs. The Xenomorph (Alien)

PROPAGANDA FOR RIPLEY:

"The character of Ripley was originally meant to be played by a man. also pleaseeee if this competition is a bunch of white guys im going to lose it"

"She is so incredibly butch and cool, she has that butch mechanic thing going on"

"The character was originally going to be a man but Sigourney Weaver killed it at the audition so she was hired and not a single line of dialogue was changed. Also, overall, most of the films leave an implication that gender is not very important to the point of being a practically genderless society. Everyone in these movies is too stressed and too busy working under late, late stage capitalism. My point is that Ellen Ripley is definitely (however unintentionally) agender."

PROPAGANDA FOR THE XENOMORPH:

"Is this a "character"? It's a whole species technically but I think it should count. Anyway I know people like to think about them as female and therefore Girlbosses or whatever and I think that's fine, have fun. However, they are obviously an alien species that doesn't adhere to human ideas of gender- or fit into ideas of binary sex if we wanted to think that way, since they reproduce very differently. I am also thinking about how their (very iconic) design incorporates a lot of sexual elements/imagery, and in that way too they mix-and-match and play around with gender. And again they are just so iconic."
