In a moment of unrestrained procrastination I spent some time looking for Joss Whedon interviews on the awkward subject of the Alien Resurrection script. I stumbled upon a piece about Alien resurrection written by someone called Big Ross at a website called CC2K. I know nothing about 'Big Ross' or this website, but in the course of skimming his article I noticed a particularly brilliant analysis of French cinema:
'Jeunet was given creative control over what this new alien would look like, and he was adamant that it should not only look more human, but that it should have a mix of male and female genitalia. Really, this should come as no surprise. Have you ever seen a French film? Intellectual dramas with doughy, middle-aged actors and actresses lounging around naked having conversations. They didn't just finish having sex, they're not about to have sex, they're not even talking about sex. They just sit on couches smoking and talking politics, or about the economy, or the damned weather while sagging breasts and flaccid penises are on display for all to see for no sensible reason whatsoever. I concede I'm no expert on French cinema, and this assessment may be overly stereotypical.'
