I will be monitoring this thread to find out.
The bonus situation is very important to me.
Nicholas Fisher
Seriously though, the two engineers were actually the only people on Nostromo who seemed to be doing something useful.
The rest of the crew mostly wasted oxygen.
They deserved their bonuses.
Jonathan Stewart
Alien can be read as everything from it being about the reversal of rape, the benefits of xenophobia or a commentary on the workers' plight
It's so dense
Jayden Cook
seriously those two deserved a bonus more than that whinny bitch did.
Jeremiah Parker
Goggles are always obsessed with the money they don't have
Caleb Wood
Did Ash's bonus go to the company or did he have his own android bank account?
Company shill pls go
Josiah Howard
>did he have his own android bank account
good question, id like to know that, perhaps the new movie will address this.
Oliver Brooks
Been awhile since good bonus OC, and the current Brett wojack leaves something to be desired
Ian Thomas
Brett's seen some shit
John Thomas
I haven't seen Alien in years so I completely forget what this is referring to but this is one of my favorite Cred Forums memes. Just got lots of charm.
Isaiah Richardson
It's not just a meme, it's a full fledged theory
Jose Morgan
Weylan Yutani were punishing Parker and Brett for something. In fact, I'd argue leading them to the derelict was intentional.
He was just beginning to figure it out when he realized they weren't getting the bonus. If only we knew what was in his head during the events of the film.
Caleb Scott
He's on the edge of blackout drunk. He's an addict.

I googled "bonus situation" and this was the first result: slog.thestranger.com
>The minute the baby alien bursts out of John Hurt's stomach is always the moment I lose interest in this film. Why? Because it is here that class issues are displaced by the struggle against the one enemy, the alien. Parker stops complaining about bonuses (class issues) and focuses on killing the killer monster. But this displacement is, in reality, more dangerous to Parker and Brett than the alien. Recall 9/11. It came down to the same thing. The anti-capitalist globalization movement (WTO) was displaced by the war on terror (WTC). I bring this up because as class tensions increase in our moment, the post-neoliberal moment, the moment when market ideology is in a state of crisis, it's important to ask who would benefit the most from an alien something, before the eyes of everyone, bursting out of the nervous guts/conditions of our times?
Brandon Brown
There's a small scene in the movie where the black guy asks about their bonuses and calls it the "bonus situation". It's never brought up again and it's a very minor detail
Josiah Thompson
Did Armond write this?
Thomas Richardson
So was the bonus situation compromised or not?

>"yeah that's bad and all but the bonus situation...I mean, whose the real victim here?"
Landon Hughes
>cin: So where did the idea of the bonus situation come from?
>>Scott: This was something I added to the script because of my initial troubles trying to get the budget approved, and as soon as I mentioned the bonus situation, I got exactly what I asked for...well, almost.
>cin: You introduce the bonus situation early in the film, but then...
>>Scott: Right, I did that intentionally to capture the attention of the audience. I'd already shown them the Nostromo, and the crew, but I needed something to really make sure I had the audience with me, and then it hit me: the bonus situation. Who isn't intrigued by the bonus situation? How does it work? Who's in charge of it? You know who isn't intrigued by the bonus situation? Nobody, that's who.
>cin: No doubt, you had my attention right off the bat....it was like, wow, big ship, cool....nice space shots....the crew seems alright...whoa...wait a minute...hold on, go back, what's this about a bonus situation!?
>>Scott: (laughs) I still get asked about the bonus situation I'd say, oh, about monthly. It had a greater impact than I thought.
