Today is for big feelings, tired contemplation, and resigned thoughtfulness, and within this I can feel my reach is beyond my grasp.

It's Monday, and I've been thinking about Ripley a lot over the weekend.

Ian Holm as Ash lays out the company's true priorities, one of the most memorable rug pulls in or out of sci-fi. His assessment of the crew's immediate future prospects - punctuated with that incredible, humourless, simpering smile - is brutal and poignant, but entirely predictable and accurate.

The ship's name is taken from a novel of same name by Joseph Conrad, who wrote Heart of Darkness. It's of a working-class sailor exploited as an expendable tool by a powerful organisation. Shunned by the rich now their objectives are achieved he feels bitter, used, becoming paranoid and resentful.
