[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?

Is the clue you are reffering to a message/image that was on or near a control panel? I remember reading something like that in an early Alien script.

My guess is a Theramin. Its pretty much a stab in the dark so I dont have a clue where they got it from or who gave it to them. The reason why I think its a Theramin is beacuse when Cain breaks the mist, it makes a kinda wierd sound.

Or some kind of night club laser? Were they even around in the late 70's?

What do you mean by "Theramin", did you mean "Theremin", cause as far as I know that's a musical instrument which would mean in a way, a very obscure way, you are close. You have 1 Part of the question correct though...But I need all three before someone beats you to them. If not you got 1 pt at least in the bank.

You are close to one of the other two answers and "laser" is in fact the thing they needed....but where did they get it and from who is the bigger picture now. LOL

by the way that "LOL", is posted there because there is a "MAJOR WOW" clue in what I wrote just now above there.

I hope this isnt cheating but I have consulted The Oracle (my brother, he is an Aliens expert) and he tells me that that a laser was needed, and Ridley Scott borrowed one from The Who's stage team or something like that.

Ok man, I am going to give you all 3 points on this just the same. Ridlley Scott himself went to the [size=200]Sound stage right next door[/size] where the [size=200]Rock Group The Who[/size] were rehearsing for an upcoming tour, and borrowed the [size=200]Blue Laser[/size] from The Band. Standings-> Thadus12=6 Spartacus=7 Engineer Prototype - Model GAJ84 = 3 Tattooedkoi= 3 Biomechanic=1 SpaceJock=1 Rick=1 Caine1977=1 * I thought it quite witty of me If I do say so myself ha ha ha, to make "The Who" in the question, be "The Who" in both the answer and in Reality!

To easy, it was a Rottweiler. In the special edition it was something else though, not sure what it was as it just looked some generic large animal carcass to me. How the facehugger managed to impregnate a dead animal is a complete mystery.

Neither of those are correct i'm afraid. Here's a cryptic clue, the "serious candidate" went on to play a character who wouldnt be wise to upset so you should let him win.

The guy who played Chewbakka in The Star Wars Saga...Peter Mayhew? So we're saying his original career was playing Chewbakka? I must be wrong. Wrong Sparty. Wrong.

The actor is Peter Mahew yes. I'll give you a bonus point for that but the question was what was his original career before he got into acting.

Ok Here We Go, For 5 Points, 1 Point Each and then a Bonus Question. Question 1 [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a.jpg[/img] Who composed the background music for the scene above in which Ripley Finally, and without Ridley Scott's intent, Kills the Alien? Question 2 [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1b.jpg[/img] I am pretty sure most of the people here already know this incredible actress Genette Goldstein, But do you knew Which Star Trek Character was created because of her role in Aliens? Question 3 [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1c.jpg[/img] What is the name of the film making Technique that made the scene above possible? Question 4 [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1d.jpg[/img] When the scene above was filmed, the cameras Junet was using to shoot the scene could not pick up anything in the water, so a particular substance, a liquid, had to be poured into the water to "make it so"....what was it? Bonus Question 5 In listening to the commentary on the special edition of Alien Veronica Cartwright compares Scott with Alfred Hitchcock many times and one time she mentions filming in perhaps his 2nd most famous film..."The Birds"...and she says that for the scene where there are tons of birds on the Jungle Gym, half are real and half are not real, but that Ridley And Hitchcock are so good at making everything you see look real even when it isn't, that "it's what your eyes do not see that they are so good messing with"... what were the 1/2 of the birds that were Not real made of? Good Luck !
