Are those Nephs thighs?
Edit. No, not pasty enough….
He's probably as jealous of the hair as he is of the tan.

Wow you guys are mean. Haha
@Filthy:
There's a new Conan comic out now. The cover is super awesome. I wonder what jeans cut Arnold would have worn in this era?
As an aside, I hope Arnold does a King Conan movie. He's at the right age for it and let's face it, it would be badass.
this is a fantastic idea.

Good point. I didn't think about that.
My sensitivity training from work comes into play and I would never say something like that either joking or serious. I say stuff like that to my uncle who is like my dad. But we tease each other.

Not my idea. It's been in development for awhile.

Mate, you have seen Giles and Chris? They’re as follicly challenged as I am. Although nowhere near as pretty [emoji12]
This is all true. Even the pretty part.
Fun/sad fact: my dad is in his 80s, and despite that and having had chemotherapy, still has more hair than I do.

I dunno guys, being bald isn't a bad thing these days. There isn't as much of a stigma attached to baldness, unless of course, you're doing a bad job at trying to cover it up with a toupee or hair plugs. I think it's worse to be in the balding phase. My forehead is starting to turn into a fivehead

I started losing my hair around 20, and started shaving my head around 30, so I've had a long time to get used to it. Aside from worrying more about sunburn, I actually prefer having no hair. Maintenence is simpler, and as my sister pointed out once, I had terrible hair anyway.
She can be pretty cold blooded.

All of this goes for me. Except the bit about a sister. If I had one she would probably have been cold-blooded too.

They have adapted the original Alien 3 screenplay into a series of comics. I am going to wait for the serial novel edition. But here are all the covers.
-
Ha didn't expect the varying sizes there. Oh well.
-
Interesting. I remember seeing the William Gibson version being talked about on the Alien 3 bonus disc. I'm all for Alien expanded universe stuff. Makes me want to seek out some of the older Dark Horse Alien comics that I don't have
on a side note, It'll be interesting to see if the Alien franchise moves forward or if they're DOA because of how poorly Alien Covenant performed.

I think they are going to do another reboot eventually now that Disney has a hand in the pot now. You can't fault the franchise as a whole for a series of horribly written movies. IDK what's up with the executives at Fox but they sure have a penchant for making terrible decisions. The new Predator movie is a good example of this. The original ending would have been so much cooler. Neil Blomkamp's Aliens sequel would have been so much cooler.

The Blomkamp Alien film would've been cool. Judging from the concept art it almost looked like it could've been an Alien version of Jurassic World, except replace Indominus Rex with an alien queen

Agreed. There is no chance whatsoever that Disney will just shrug and write it off as a loss. It will turn a profit on the purchase. And I'm cool with that. I've generally enjoyed the movies (1 and 2 were great, 3 was OK, and 4 was mostly not terrible).

If the studio goes back to the way it was before and bring in new directors that would be great. I think Sir Ridley had his chance and he blew it. I'm still salty about how Prometheus and Covenant turned out. Visually, they're amazing, but the story and characters were truly horrible. Disney made the right choice bringing in different directors for the Star Wars films and they should do the same for the Alien franchise imo.
