Movie #42 of 2024: The Core

Cringe defined.

The most ludicrous premise for a blockbuster action film since Face/Off. Post 9/11 disaster fantasy trashcan cinema. Whales save humans. Hilary Swank will make you cry. Scenery is chewed.

IMDB's new keyword descriptors include "Dark Comedy", but that's only during Tcheky Karyo's implosion death scene. It's about as much of a "dark comedy" as The Room.

Jimbo Fisher

Physique: Average Build Height: 5'8" (1.73 m)

John James "Jimbo" Fisher Jr. (born October 9, 1965) is a former American college football coach who most recently served as the head coach of the Texas A&M Aggies from 2018 until 2023. Prior to that, he led the Florida State Seminoles to a BCS National Championship victory in 2014.

Taking a real look at Jimbo… I want to fuck him. Makes me wonder why I didn’t watch him when he was at FSU. Oh I know why, I hated FSU, which is surprising because I wanted to fuck Bobby Bowden. Now that I think about it, Bowden did have a hot coaching staff. Fisher of course, I remember wanting to dump a load on Chuck Amato’s chest, Mickey Andrews looked like a good fuck and what can I say about Brad Scott. Anyway, now I’m going to pay more attention to Jimbo from now on.

Born in Clarksburg, West VA, Fisher attended Liberty High School. Fisher initially attended Clemson University to play baseball before going to Salem College (now Salem University) in Salem, West Virginia where he played quarterback under head coach Terry Bowden from 1985 to 1986. Fisher followed Bowden to Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama for his final season.

Lets see… twice married, Jimbo married first wife, Candi in 1989 and have two children together, Ethan Fisher and Trey Fisher. After a messy and expensive divorce wear we find out she cheated on Jimbo with at least two guys (college football is a dirty game), Jimbo married his younger second wife, Courtney Harrison Fisher in 2020. Good for him. Hope he's laying the pipe constantly to keep this one.

[cipheramnesia]

Continuing the analysis of Alien, for me I see it as a multilayered film where the horror can include womanhood, but is not limited by this.

Film is an interesting medium in the way a finished product is often guided by multiple voices to an extent that there is no one driving vision. This is apparent in Alien, with multiple contributions from artists like Giger, the story concept from Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, direction from Ridley Scott, editors Terry Rawlings and Peter Weatherley, along with the actor performances, producer notes, budget constraints, and so on.

An obvious interpretation is a movie themed around sexual assault and the horror of motherhood, but I think it goes deeper than this. Consider the most basic detail of the movie - the title. On the surface it's obvious, but placed in the context of the details of the movie, it shows some further layers to explore. It's a movie that was conceptualized as "truckers in space" or a "haunted house in space," the original protagonist was written for a male actor and not changed when Sigourney Weaver took the role, it was driven in part by O'Bannon having Chron's disease, and only later would the influence of queer artist H.R. Giger make the alternative sexual interpretation more overt. The ship is operated by a computer named "Mother" on purpose, and early versions of the story proposed the entire crew was in a low-key informal polycule, that this was common for long voyages in space. The alien itself was not meant to have a hive-like drone/queen structure, but rather it would be born via the egg and face hugger, incubate in a host, then transform into a short-lived creature who would mutate other victims into new eggs.

At it's most basic, there is an alien intrusion into a human, the literal plot of the film, and while this resonates as symbolic of pregnancy - it's also symbolic of disease or disability. These concepts are not mutually exclusive either, in the same way as a (currently) incurable disease such as Chron's is debilitating and hurts the body, so too does pregnancy. The entire progression, as well, comes through a queer lens where the boundaries of sexuality and gender are blurred. The egg and face-hugger are unsubtley - explicitly - code as feminine, while the creature itself is born as a masculine, phallic entity from a male. The birth is a lethal conclusion, a horrific escape that mirrors the pain both of actual childbirth and also of living with a disease like O'Bannon experied, and the group surrounds Kane's body at the table much the same as you'd see in a seance, summoning a ghost for a haunted house.

The alien intrusion of the creature is not even the first in the movie of course, consider the human crew of the Nostromo, navigating to the surface of the world through a narrow navigation pipeline, landing explosively in what's described as a primordial atmosphere, and sending it's people out to explore the highly vaginal crashed ship. The crew of the Nostromo are themselves an alien intrusion, in a sense their actions are what serve to truly birth the creature. This is the unwelcome guests provocatively trespassing in the haunted house, or even the mass transit of goods carried between worlds where they don't belong. Part of what makes Alien work so well is by a combination of accident and design, of social accidents and social coding, the elements at play mesh together and support one another.

Even aboard the Nostromo, even in the crew there are layers to this idea of what constitutes the alien. The ship is controlled by a computer named "Mother," sharing a corporate mandated order with Ash, an android, to bring an alien specimen home. The ship is the body is the planet is the whole of human society, but we'll get to that. The ship is seen as safe by the crew but it is not. It already has an alien within, a machine that is prepared to let the crew die, to kill if necessary. The ship itself sees the crew as expendable. From the outside perspective, looking at the Nostromo, humans are the alien intrusion. The creature is what it is meant to incubate, to carry safely. This itself must surely resonate to anyone who has suffered in an abusive relationship or with especially abusive parents, or even suffered through institutionalized education. People within a system which allegedly is meant to keep us safe, whose true nature is sinister. Layers within layers. The safe comfort of home turned dangerous by its own horrific past. The truck driver who brings vital resources, surrounded by an exploitative system demanding them.

If you pull all the way back from Alien, consider it set within a system where the protagonists only exist in service of the corporate needs of a world consumed by capital, the only real intrusion comes from humans. They are the only part that does not fit. Humans intrude in the planet, interrupt the life cycle. Humans intrude on the incubation and safe delivery of the creature. And, ultimately, humans kill "Mother" in much the same was as the creature kills its own host.

And, certainly, there is no doubt that Ripley and the human crew fending off assault by a dickmonster is a powerful statement about the presence of sex as a threat, of women and reproduction as disease coded. But Ripley is also a human fighting off a disease, she is a woman aborting a child, she is a child being born as the mother dies. She is a vengeful lover, fighting those who killed her other crew members and partners. There is not one individual concept which you can stick onto Alien and call it a day, because none of them are, by themselves, complete.

Even limiting the movie to the idea of birth or phallic / yonic imagery as gender specific isn't adequate. There is no birth that is singularly, unambiguously female. There is not even a form of pregnancy that can be called unambiguously female. Every stage of the human birth process is turned around. The egg release the fertilizer, which projects a phallic tube from a vaginal orifice, that conducts a kind of reverse abortion implanting a living fertilized embryo into an unwilling host. The create itself is not even a fully independent entity - again as scripted it dies within days of hatching, only serving the purpose of collecting new hosts whose raw material will, regardless of gender, be transmuted into a new egg and continue the cycle. Which could, if you want it to, be seen as paralleling the unnatural birth of a haunting, which only happens after death.

What I'm getting to here is not necessarily to dismiss other ideas we can unpack from Alien, it's more to suggest looking deeper into movies like this, which feel power and transgressive, and upsetting in ways we find difficult to articulate. Open up that interpretation to something larger than merely what seems horrific into what seems experienced. Alien is powerful in how its multiple layers of imbued meaning trap us in the recognition of our own real experience of the world. The horror and the power aren't about something we don't understand but experience which, on some level, are completely, horribly familiar.

All I'm saying is Ridley Scott went out and hired the giant mutant genitals artist to design the Alien, and H.R. Giger delivered a monster with a giant penis head, a vulva-outline space ship, a birthing egg with an opening made of two crossed vaginas, a facefucking vagina monster fertilizer and a lil baby dick form that kills the host - the man 100% delivered on his artistic principles.

And because of this, it is just a little bit funny how the penis and vagina designs are enshrined in pop culture, forever being passed between creators who seem to less and less think for a minute that they're working with genital monsters and it turns most of the movie franchise and comics into an exercise in unintentional absurdity where a character can be fleeing from a rolling vulva like the boulder from Indiana Jones without a single shred of awareness or subtext.

1. Agree ka ba na ang capital/material wealth ang source of greed?

2. Materialism is the belief that matter is the fundamental reality > Money isn't matter but the means to trade goods > Goods are more than the material they're made of > Nature of wealth (surplus value) *Gen: man as co-creators (counterarg: what kind of creations*?)

3. Capitalism as the "better" system because in it, the mind is the driving force as compared to others (*capital = caput = head). Mind is the main source of the immaterial.

4. Non-Zero Sum Game. Further na sinabi pa with regard to wealth being a surplus value, because wealth is a surplus, it increases over time. So example, someone owns 10 pesos and another one owns 1 peso. After some time, mag-iincrease sila ng 10x. The gain of the rich, then, is not the loss of the poor. (counterarg: John Rawls meritoc)

5. Poverty was classified into Relative and Absolute. Relative siya if you compared an ordinary guy with a CEO. Absolute if yung mga nasa laylayan talaga. Ang sabi, the focus should be on those na under sa absolute poverty and not on the gap between the poor and the rich.

Following this thought process, it makes sense kung bakit mas mayaman ang lahat (plus mas mataas ang life expectancy) when compared to the past. It makes sense din kung bakit most wealth ay "namana" ng mga mayayaman and hindi appropriate term ang "nag-benefit sila sa kahirapan ng iba." From this, one can conclude na they have no "obligation" na basta bastang ipamigay yung wealth na sakanila.

So how does one turn the attention to absolute poverty without placing the blame on the rich?
