I’m up for that Rick! Leave all this Ameri-trash for a couple of weeks. I’ll be packin’ my big-ass Swiss Army knife, my Swiss watch, my Swiss backpack, my Swiss Family Robinson DVD, and even my Swiss cheese. I’m ready to bust out some home grown, Swiss Absinthe, so that when we meet H.R. Puff ‘n Stuff…the Gigster himself…we’ll be seein’ the same shite he paints. La Fee Verte…AKA the "Green Fairy," can give us the grand tour of his museum of Whores…I mean Horrors. Hell yeah I'm up for that! I'd love to meet that scary ol' bastard...before he goes to Hell...or where ever he's headed. Plus, I'd enjoy meeting you and a few of my other pen pals from this site. Aufrichtig, ~Neurion

Aufrichtig, ~Neurion another in an absolute and seemingly unending chain of some of the best and most entertaining POSTS I have ever read on any Alien related subject matter. Damn that's some funny stuff Neurion... IMO, you're right up there with Giger himself on the "Unique" scale. and maybe some other scales I don't even know about yet. LMFAO!

pretty sweet man!

The image seems to not be displaying for some reason.

very nice stylized work .. it will work VERY well for an alien convention , less for a movie ( too stylized to be scary :p )

Very well done Jonesy, I like it. I'm curious to know what kind of application you used to make it. Vector or raster based , or was it a traditional medium and not done on a computer?

I love it, and want to see one by you just like it but with the Word "Prometheus" emblazend across it. Fantastic Job Jonesy! For a Cat!

of course we saw them , and not less than 5 times each day :) there are ALOT of shoots regarding medical tables or cryogenic stasis or something like that ... but can also be that this part was the most "ready" for some footage to be exposed . I will not surprised also if the giant head statue with the eggs around is on earth

8@

It does to me, I will look for that. I am a big Giger fan. I am not sure i made the post right or if there was a glitch when I tried to post it but I made a thread about Giger you can check out called "Necronomicon" if you can see it/find it. let me know what ya think. Love the avatar Rick. Spartacus ~Montreal.

Yup I was just reading and got distracted looking for travel arrangements to Basel, Switzerland (91miles) from Musee de H.R. Giger. I think I am going to take a week in January and go. 1,200USD for a week stay, I don't think I can pass that up.

Merge the three... "Weyland-Yutani": "Discovering, Exploring and Building, Xenomorph Laden Worlds" !!! lmao !!!

red hood, I think it took atleast 3-6 months of deep space flight. I am sure not everyone was impregnated all at the same time it would have been the trickle effect. 1-2 Aliens popped up (2 days gestation, 3-4 days of growth) then 4, (another 5-6 days) then 8, (another 5-6 days) then 12(another 5-6 days), it starts becoming off balance. Then they barricaded the doors and blocked off the vents and etc. I can see several weeks of siege taking place as they kept getting plucked out by the Aliens before becoming deserted. That left Newt to her own devices for several months as she scurried the vents being the only thing small enough to get down them. That's just my take on it. Regards, Rick

The answer is No, During hyper sleep you do NOT age. It is the equivalence of suspended animation. There is also this... Newt clearly HAS aged, as Ripley discovers when she picks up the picture of her underneath the ventilating fan when she first encounters her, but not from having traveled through space while in hyper sleep, rather, apparently from regular human growth as a citizen pre "attack of the Xenomorphs", within the Wayland-Yutani complex on LV-426. The give away there is...she was in Hyper-Sleep for 57 years as BURKE so emphatically pronounces to her, and her looks there are the exact same as at the end of ALIEN...57 years have gone by...and Ripley clearly hasn't aged a day.

The cryogenic sleep was made exactly to not make the people aging during very long space travels ... ( and in aliens, at the beginning , in a deleted scene Ripley get the news that her daughter is already dead ) ..btw i suppose that the sulaco trip was about a month ( maybe some geek have more precise timeline )..not that long anyway . And Newt made that kind of trip eventually some time before the sulaco voyage . In another deleted scene we see the Newt family that went to look for the alien spaceship ( an indication from Burke Pj ), they got infected and slowly all the colony was infected OR overrun by the aliens ..the lost contact from LV426 did lead to the rescue mission with the sulaco .

That's the thing of it Frantz, Rick, RedHood...in order to get all of it, you have to see the full extended versions of all 4 films. it's truly remarkable how massive the difference is with just a few added scenes to each film, especially ALIENS which had I think 28 or so minutes of added material in it's extended version and just FYI, the added material in the extended Alien 3, IMO, created an entirely curiosity provoking and completely different film in it's meaning and mood than the one seen in theaters. ***Check out my Thread called "Necronomicon" if you can see it {not sure if it's even showing up} and tell me what your thoughts are on all that.*** Ridley truly is a the ONLY man to do this Other than H.R. Giger and what these 2 guys created off of each other's creativity is one the greatest stories IMO in the history of film, and I think we are about to see their/it's crowning achievement .

If you love Necronomicon. Download Google Earth and look up Musee HR Giger, Guyeres, Switzerland and you can see the layout of his Bar with "Delicious Alien Coffee" Maybe we could convince Ghostface to market a "Prometheus-Movie" Sanctioned Expedition to Guyere's, Switzerland to check out Gigers Museum and we all meet at Giger's Bar for Alien Coffee.

I think that sounds like a great idea Rick! ;)

lmao Me too. I 2nd that!

I agree, it would kill the film. Waiting until June 8, 2012 is killing me too.

This is pretty cool! VERY DARK! Welcome back to science fiction Ridley Scott! If this is the way Prometheus plays out then I will be pretty stoked. Its bizzare, twisted and scary and gives that felling of being stranded. I hope this is something thay will spawn to more movies, comics, just an new universe for the space jockeys. This almost sounds like Pandorum but value size.

If you take a read of the latest [b]'plot leak'[/b], some pretty perverse activities take place!

any plot "leak" was a fake until now ( the only leaked plot that have a bit of credibility is the first one , that was posted directly in the IMBD synopsis page ) .... the perverse things , as Ridley said , as surely about genetic play , perversion dont mean anything sexual ... that is a sexual perversion in fact . I think the SJs do perverse genetic play withou any kind of morals and without being GODS ( they just play with what exist already ) ...if there is a subtle reference to something kinky is just to make an evil grin on our faces ...dont expect anything explicit or trash .

[b]Nostalgica...[/b], I´d like to have the jockey run a bar in the reception area of a seventies style convention hall. H.R. Giger, even if you never read this, mind we´ve all (@ least me) a crush on the seventies (affluence)... So maybe you can change the script and equip the jockey w. some of those large porno-glasses and, not at least, embellish some scenes wit `easy listening´.

Now I want to see the space jockey in all sorts of scenarios. On the cover of cigar aficionado. In an I'm a mac, he's a PC and that's a Space Jockey commercial. The Space Jockey E true hollywood story. Dateline NBC's To Catch a Space Jockey. On the cover of Maxim. As a pundit on Fox news. As an advocate against child hood obesity.

Hey guys, I just found [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY22ZePwcvI]this[/url] at youtube. There are several of the shots we are already familiar with and there are several others that I know I haven't seen. 0:36 There seems to be green goo coming out of a canister 1:20 There seems to be an arm or something sticking out from the right and at 2:10 and at there seems to be a weird looking hand (might be gloved) touching something that looks jockiesh. Anyone else seen these before? Rick

Biomechanic, one of those helmets even farts, listen! Yeh, quite goofy but spooky the way they seem to 'chat' in those wierd voice soundbites. I like your idea of a human brain replacing a ship's computer, very bizarre. I have a thing about living disembodied heads being a symbol of true horror .

Space Jockey´s charging is to breed sth., Since it seems to be grown out of it´s chair it´s rather likely that it (they) grow(s) gray matter or some other sort of mysterios (and biohazardous) fluids which subsequently need to be filled up and boxed in anthracite cannisters/ urnes. it gives the impression as if a jockey is in fact a stupid assembley line worker. We can just hope it not turns out to be molten styrofoam. ; )

Hey Bio long time no chat bud. I would agree about the biological part but AI is prevalent through out the genre; ie the synthetics. There could be some precursor AI in the helmet letting mother know that the Nostromo has reached the beacon and a little communication exchange took place. I don't know though just an opinion. Rick

Hi Rick, I don't think biological or biomechanical brains and electronic synthetic AI have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe MUTHUR can be thought of as a highly advanced BIOS for the ship tasked mainly with explaining the ships needs to the crew, mission control and sensor input interpretations, a very analytical system with a rudimentary AI featuring the ability to speak fluently the low level machine language of the ship. The biological brain system may be there to interpret or command the bios from a much higher abstraction level (A different type of awareness). Perhaps two different technologies each with it's own advantages were interfaced together. Of course these brain computers would be considered a technological abomination of nature by humans so the use must be kept secret. You'll have to forgive me but I like the idea that Weylan Yuntani is run by androids, and that they think of humans as chattel and only useful as a tools. Fits in with Ash seemed to be condescending toward the crew.

LOL That reminds me too much of Skyline. If you haven't seen it I would go buy the DVD or Blue Ray

I am predicting that it will be Trent Reznor and I think that Scott will use Reznor on Blade Runner as well. He used Tangerine Dream on Blade Runner and Reznor would be perfect for both these films.

Those look great [b]Biomechanic[/b]! Thanks for posting those up!

I have decided to wait for the "Alien Quintology" Box Set to come out before I answer this. LOL.

All I can say is this reminds of that time in the 90's when pepsi decided to make pepsi clear, it's like "why?" Because it really was not that good. I really think that the original was so bizzare and xreepy that it was so fitting to when you saw direlect craft and espicially when you saw the space jockey. Thank god that it is nothing like how george lucus ruined episode 4-6 with all the new cgi crap notable the han and greedo confrontation. Everytime I watch it I almost feel like I flunke a test that studied hard for.
