The Alien film series is one of my favorite movie franchises of all time. I can’t think of a time when one of the movies was on television and I didn’t watch it. That was back when you used to be able to flip through channels easily. A fun pastime that’s been lost with things like YoutubeTV and the slow and bloated cable boxes you get now (a subject for a different post). Here’s an article I saw where the original artist describes the Fortran code that rendered the Nostromo’s vector landing display in Alien.
