[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/PIA06143.jpg[/img] Question; can anyone tell me what the object in the picture is...?... If so, and you do get it right, it will be "Your Turn" to ask everyone some kind of Science Fiction or related Movie question... perhaps we can use media like pictures as well to spice it up for fun. Anyways I am going first...what's that in the picture?

Sorry Tech-B but No sir. Flame throwers is a pretty good clue in and of itself. She said she absolutely loved being on that set because of it.

Right, these are off the top of my head, as i say.. not near any source of Alien knowledge just now.. 5 questions, say one point each because they're not too hard. to get the con you have to get all 5 1. What was the opening credits of Alien unique for at the time 2. How did Ridley get jonesy to hiss and spit before the Alien killed Brett 3. What did Harry Dean Stanton thank Ridey for during that Scene 4. What was done to the set towards the end of the film by Scott bearing in mind it was filmed chronologically. 5. (EASY, just to make it up to 5) how was the famous deck melting in medbay created, with what substances? If you don't hear from me for the next 10 hours or so don't worry, it's 1am here and i'm off to bed, but shall check back first thing in the am

I think i have the 1st and 2nd answers, 1- it was the first title to be revealed bit by bit. and 2 - They used a dog behind a screen, removing it at the right time to make the cat hiss.

I can tell you one is right and one is not right, although your guess does kind of relate to the answer

the dog was a german shepperd and that one is correct. The opening including the credits contained no dialogue for 6 minutes and I believe this is a record.

Wouldn't 2001 have already beaten that?

wow that's funny, I went to the premier in NYC of that film, and I did not even think about that, I think you might just be correct, but other than that film, Alien's opening was the only SCI-FI one I have seen that went on that long with nothing spoken. In Brina Depalmas "Dressed To Kill" for instance which is not SCI-FI but rather Horror /Drama there was an 8 minutes scene in the NYC Museum of Art with no dialogue which is a remarkable scene. There is even a camera Pan at the end of it and if you stop it in the middle you can see who the murderer is. If you watch it right through it is hardly noticeable

yep the answer to question 2 is right , so a point to EP. er.. tell you what, it would be unfair to say whoever gets all 5 right gets the con because diff people will get diff answers right at diff times, so whoever gets most answers right gets the con? everyone cool with that? And no, question 1's answer is not correct, as i said, EP was on the right track, spartacus, you veared off mate

We'll say question one is active so if a hint is needed please ask. No hints for 3, 4 and 5 yet as someone needs to have a try first. Saying that, as i say, EP was def on the right track.

that's one point for thadus for question 3, EP has a point for question 2. Question 1 is still up for grabs and EP has been the closest so far. Question 5 is nearly there, looking for the specific chemical name. as stated by Scott, it wasn't nail polish remover. 1. Still up for grabs 2. 1 point to EP 3. 1 point to Thadus 4. I'll clarify, the set changed toward the end of the film because of something ridley scott did, what did he do? 5. Looking for the second chemical compound, Thadus got polystyrene so will give him a half point.

Nope, according to scott on the 1st edition alien dvd commentary (pre quadrilogy) it wasn't acetone, i would have given you nail polish remover if it was.
