OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 9:19 AMAll of Giger's Alien work was sexual in nature. It's quite overt. Not under-toned at all so yes, I would say it is deliberate.

OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 10:11 AMYes all of giegers works is mega sexually driven - the 'alien' facehugger is very viginal in design - kinda like a flattened out one! - the alien head more penis like!

OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 10:58 AMI'd say it was notionally deliberate - in terms of being heavily, yet indirectly, suggestive.
I'd also say that, somehow, that kind of nudging only makes it seem extremely obvious and ham-fisted.
Seems to me, Alien/Giger managed to communicate and force you to acknowledge a sense of nausea that you perhaps couldn't really put a name to - and perhaps didn't really want to: it was just obviously something that spoke to your subconscious and was clearly to do with mucus; and wetness; and reproduction; and penetration........and all of that particular kind of nameless dread was achieved without resorting to showing you a toothy vagina on top of a penis.
I'd suggest that's exactly why it [i]was[/i] achieved.

OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 11:42 AMTherere has always been a heavy sexual tone surrounding the Alien movies. I am referring to the first two films. Even in Alien I still remember when Lambert was cornered by the Xenemorph. She was crying her ass out as we saw the Xenos tail began to rise up between her legs. Now if that ain't sexual. Then I don't know what is.

OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 11:47 AM@ Rubirosa
exactly, the alien movies have a sexual tone surrounding them, hence my question: did they make this descision on purpose, or is it just sth we fans notice and the director of photography or whoever is going all like :'whut?'

OvomorphMember40 XPJun-30-2012 12:02 PMWell, the vagina mouth of the Hammerpede is more similar to the mouth of a facehugger but this other creature (aka cuddles) well is something different...I think that Giger design the mural and decors of the pyramid but the creatures were designed by Carlos Huante or someone else...
PS: But still looking like a V*g*n* Dentata anyway LOL

OvomorphMember40 XPJun-30-2012 12:04 PMand in the designs of Dan O'Bannon for Star beast...the facehugger was more like a cephalopod...

OvomorphMember40 XPJun-30-2012 12:15 PM"Star beast" is the original name of the 1979 project but thanks to Ridley and Giger (fortunately) the final version was Alien.

OvomorphMember0 XPJun-30-2012 10:09 PMThe Cinefex article on Prometheus has a quote from Conor O'Sullivan ... talking about how people have tried to copy Giger, but "missed the subtlety and detail, and the morbid fasciantion with death, aliens, and sex. We tried to go back to that"
He goes on to say their influences were also Rodin and William Blake (and folks on this message board have posted about the Blake-ness of the film!)

OvomorphMember0 XPJul-01-2012 4:19 AMFrom the image posted by shambala, isn't it odd for such cobra style creature to stand there by bending? I found it that way.
