Dazed: But seriously, why DID John Hurt dangle himself over an alien egg?
That's a very good question. The scene is best appreciated in a home theater with surround sound system and 4K Blu-ray. My interpretation is that
Kane
acted recklessly because he didn't know any better. It was not established whether or not extraterrestrial life of any kind had been discovered in that fictional universe of
Alien
up to that point. It may be that Kane was both scary and excited and in that moment his curiosity just got the better of him. After all, Xenobiology, even if it which existed, wasn't his specialty, since he was the exec officer of a freight ship. I may be wrong, though. In my opinion this is just my opinion. IMO.
Dazed: Also why didn't they follow the quarantine procedure like Ripley wanted?
Another excellent question. You must take into consideration that they may have never had to follow the quarantine procedure before due to the nature of their jobs. Apparently, that was the first time they met with a non terrestrial life form. Regardless, though, as you pointed it out yourself, Ripley's first reaction was indeed to follow the correct procedures. However, they didn't know at that time that the android, Ash, was openly sabotaging their safety because he had already been instructed by
the company
to bring the lifeform back. The remaining of the crew followed suit apparently both because they feared for their friends' life and because
Dallas
, their captain, was among those in need of assistance outside the ship. As to why didn't they let Kane quarantined afterwards, think about how people have been acting during the current world pandemic. Remember, they wren't in any kind of specialized expedition. They were normal unprepared people facing an extraordinary situation. IMO.

A cheat sheet for people too broke to watch the movie?

No not lately. I was watching some of Raised by Wolves cable series that was created by Ridley Scott. I found it for free.

Not lately, but if I did, it would only be the good ones:
Alien
and
Aliens.
The rest are mediocre at best.
MAGA! FAFO!

I've never understood the hate for 3 either, seems to be about Newt and Hicks dying and how that somehow renders Aliens pointless. I love it, however admittedly it makes little sense of you don't watch the Assembly cut.

It’s because Alien 3 didn’t cater to children and idiots the way that Aliens did. Alien and Alien 3 took chances whereas Aliens was the “safest”, most mainstream of the three - to children that would make it the only good Alien movie.
Aliens is an awesome spectacle, but at the same time I ****ing hate how ‘Hollywood’ it is. The characters are all formulaic and dull and I think it’s the only one if the first three where I get bored during almost every dialogue scene…. almost.
But yeah.. -Alien 10/10 -Aliens 9/10 -Alien 3 (AC) 9/10
