If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!
Building on that, if I loved the Southern Reach trilogy but think the premise of Borne sounds incredibly dumb, might I still enjoy Borne? I really wanna read more of his stuff, but none of it sounds particularly interesting to me.

Looking for hard sci-fi where a prominent theme is making first contact with a non-humanoid species. Especially if a complex language needs to be deciphered, or if the aliens think strangely.

I enjoyed how it was handled in Pushing Ice, and I'd really like to read more. Any suggestions?
Fiasco by Stanislaw Lem is exactly this. I'm not gonna say it was my favorite read ever, but it is very much what you're asking for, and it's like 2 bucks on kindle right now.
