"My health had far more to fear from boredom than from heart failure," said Brendan Gill of 1979's "Alien," which was directed by Ridley Scott. Gill saw the movie as no more than a battle between "slobs" (the crew of the Nostromo) and "blobs" (the creature). His analysis has a Seussian cadence: "A small yellow cat named Jones is aboard the Nostromo and survives several perilous encounters with the blob.... Surely a blob that plays hob with slobs and yet cannot outspat a cat isn't worth our serious attention for long."
