Watched Aliens movie on TV again.

[RandomThoughts]

I really like the metaphor of Ripley in the Loader, it is a spirit reference.

The second mouth inside the alien is also a spiritual reference.





Aliens is a pretty good movie.

1. second set of jaws perhaps inspired by the Moray eel

Moray eels use a ballistic set of second jaws to catch their prey. These 'pharyngeal jaws' are housed in the eel's throat. When the main jaws close on an unlucky fish, the second set launches forward into the mouth, snags the prey with terrifying, backward-pointing teeth and drags it back into the throat. In fractions of a second, the prey is bitten twice and swallowed.

There's a thing on the reef, with big shiny white teeth - it's a Moray
If he's big and he's mean, and he's slimy and green - it's a Moray

Put your hand in the crack and you won't get it back - It's a Moray
