zizek

[Dave Monroe]

Tarkovsky fans take note.  But maybe see also ...

Creed, Barbara.  "Alien and the Monstrous-Feminine."
   Alien Zone.  Ed. Annette Kuhn.  NY: Verso, 1990.
   128-144

Hurley, Kelley. "Reading like an Alien: Posthuman
   Identity in Ridley Scott's Alien and David
   Cronenberg's Rabid."  Posthuman Bodies.  Ed.
   Judith Halberstam and Ira Livingston.
   Bloomington: Indiana UP, 1995.  203-16.

Interesting, by the way, how Alien spawned not only
sequels but imitators with the same ferocious
fecundity as its titular, er, "character" did
offspring.  I, for one, did not hate Pitch Black
(which, by the way, utilized one of those nifty
planetaria/orreries) ...
