Iām unhealthily addicted to rewatching Alien, so on my fourteenth rewatch I have decided to screenshot every time Ripley and Lambert make eye contact (bonuses of almost every scene theyāre in together)
First up, theyāre not in focus but theyāre gayly gazing at each other in the foreground.
In the two pixels pictured above, you can see them in the background of Kane and Dallasās conversation. From what I can tell they donāt have dialogue in the background, but they do look at each other for more than .5 seconds, and thatās gay.
Okay this one, Lambert hasnāt begun talking yet and Ripley looks up from her coffee and just stares at her for like a solid three seconds. Conclusion: gay.
Now weāre halfway through the movie, and they say words to each other! This is the best one because itās in 4K ultra HD and nobody else is in frame. 10/10 gay.
After Ripleyās attacked, Lambert spends a solid ten seconds dragging her away from the battlegrounds. Saving her girlfriend, very gay.
This one is subtle, but Ripley looks at Lambert after they talk to Ash as if checking to make sure sheās okay. Gay.
Then they romantically walk, terror-stricken and traumatized, down a hallway.
You canāt really see Ripleyās face, but they are making eye contact. In this scene they looked at each other for a good four seconds, and for the life of me I canāt find a reason for that to happen besides because THEY ARE GAY.
now onto bonuses, which includes behind-the-scenes and deleted scenes.
The deleted scene from after Kane is back on board the ship and Lambert punches Ripley! ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE SCENE NOT EVEN KIDDING. Itās so funny only because of Veronica Cartwrightās explanation of how and why it happened, and how Sigourney Weaver demanded that they take it out of the final movie (Ridley Scott added it back in for the directorās cut, but it wasnāt in the theatrical). Ridley Scott confirmed that this scene was part of a sub-plot in which Ripley and Lambert have a loverās quarrel over Ripley not letting her back on the ship.
THE deleted scene. We all know this one. Criminal that they didnāt put it back into the directorās cut.
And then hereās the current state of my camera roll. If you look close, you can see that they hold hands a lot. And not casually; when theyāre holding hands they are AGGRESSIVELY holding hands. Holding on for DEAR LIFE. They are GAY.
Anyway that wraps up every time they interacted in Alien besides looking in each otherās general directions in separate shots. I would now like to bring up an equally as important image from Aliens
When Lambertās image comes up on the little background screen, Ripley reaches her turning point in her argument against the Weyland-Yutani board. She was frustrated and giving up, but she turns around in her frustration, sees Lambertās image, and launches into her rant about dangerous chances taking away everything important from a person. EXCUSE ME??? Seeing Lambert made her bring up LOSING THINGS IMPORTANT TO YOU??? Gay, thatās gay, they were gay, I donāt know what else to-
And thatās it. Stay tuned for my next rant about Ripley drinking coffee in background scenes.
