Do it.
For years, one of my favorite t-shirts was one with the Weyland Yutani Corporation logo on it…

Aiens is such a good movie.
Probably watched some scenes over 200 hundred times by now.
I was watching it daily when I was younger.

Just got an email asking me this…
Hiya I'm the owner of FECKXIT.com and hence I would like to know if you are interested in purchasing it?

Great franchise, Alien. Not only is the concept of a hostile alien bioweapon monster thought-provoking, terrifying, and plausible (at least in general concept), they get HR Giger involved to create the most iconic, nightmarish fiends in cinema history. Weaver's Ripley is a great character and everything else about at least the first couple films is so well done.

Don’t forget the relatively novel concept of males being suddenly subject to a rape pregnancy. One that also kills you. Horrible stuff.
Watched a doc on Giger, very fascinating person.

I have mixed feelings on the prequels. Visually, Prometheus and Covenant look great, but the story and character development were really poor. No memorable crew members and the reveal about the origin of the Xeno's kinda pissed me off. So we're to infer that the thousands of eggs on the derelict space craft from the first Alien were created by David (from the couple thousand embryos on the Covenant)? It completely refutes the idea that there was a Queen laying all the eggs. I still would've prefered Neil Blomkamp's Aliens sequel.
This probably belongs in the random rants thread

Prequels ruined the series for me. So lame.

Prometheus was fraught with so many issues it became ridiculous. When they starting running away from (as opposed to out of the way of) the doughnut shaped spaceship that was rolling towards them I half expected the Benny Hill music to strike up.
I actually don’t consider this to be part of the Alien franchise. I think it really belongs to the Rash Decisions in Outer Space trilogy, alongside The Martian (“let’s blow up the front of our spaceship”), and Interstellar (“let’s fly into a black hole, and if things go wrong: eject”). Note that astronauts are chosen, among other things, for their propensity to stay level headed in uncertain situations.
Also: someone examines how the geologist managed to get lost in a very easily navigated room.

I got this shirt when I worked for an AvP website a long time ago. They were for the dev team of the game and for show attendees.

I'm getting laid off early this year, so it looks like I am not going to be able to afford my Simmons C3J this year. But it looks like IH isn't even selling them any longer, so I guess I am good.
-
Thanks G. Maybe next year will be it? I'll have to remind myself when it is hot and work is busy, that I need a warm winter coat…
Also, I think this is one of the most masterful, beautifully done IH photos Ive seen.

i feel i should smoke a cigarette after watching this.lol

personally I await the first morning dew of spring, bottle it using a pipette, infuse it with rose and juniper, have a roe deer lick it into the denim fabric, and then dry it over a yew bark fire. Hassle? maybe, but the fades are sublime.
for a nano second I thought of using my washing machine on the 30 degree cycle, but the mystique just wasn't interweb blog worthy.

Ok, I just watched that embedded in Tapatalk with no sound. Someone please tell me it’s a skit…
