From the dvdfile review:
"The titular creature of ALIEN, which resembles nothing so much as a giant penis with teeth"

Really? Because of all the 'genitalia with teeth" the alien resembles, a penis is well down on my list...

I think any woman on earth would run screaming if you dropped your pants and revealed a snarling alien-like penis. I should know.

Some people believe than anything longer than it is wide is a phallic symbol.

Well, I'm not one to see phallic symbols everywhere, but in the original Alien, there's a scene where the creature slowly stands, er, erect... and it's the spitting image of a turgid member.

Combine that with the scene of the alien's stomach-bursting "birth," and you've got yourself some sort of twisted critique of men and childbirth.

...if you're willing to push it that far, I mean.
