Folks-
The facehugger part I got....I just don't know what John Hurt has to do
with it. I don't remember John Hurt in any of the Alien movies. (Maybe
that has something to do with hte state I was in when I saw them, but I
digress...

If you indeed have a point and it will take less than 3 hours to make
in writing, I strongly suggest you make it. Else I will take a look
at the demands of being a working parent with 2 small children,
consider your request that I waste multiple hours watching a movie I

Seriously. Not getting an "Alien" reference is like not knowing who Homer
Simpson is: not inconceivable, but highly unlikely for a reasonably
well-educated and read English-speaking male born in the latter years of
the C20th.
Even if you haven't seen the film, it's exhaustively and endlessly
referenced, parodied, quoted from in books, films and television.
Anyway. Sarah Palin looks like a facehugger.
There you go.
