Hi all, a quick intro post.

The basics are in my bio so for added colour:

I like sci-fi/fantasy and comedy audiobooks and podcasts, mainly 90's music but some more recent too.

Here's my profile on Letterboxd boxd.it/2yTrN

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Dropping most of the good action into the first film unbalanced them too much. A good editor could've spliced them into one good narrative for a single film.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

its taken me three evenings to finish, but Aliens:Expanded is worth every one of its' 282 minutes run time. a fantastic sequential revisit of the whole film and its legacy that'll make you want to watch it again no matter how many times you've seen it. on Shudder in the UK or physical media for £90!

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels. Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory." Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality." Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?: Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint) Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close" A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.

Well, pro dog ≠ anti cat automatically.

And if you're pro dog, then you're probably a good person anyway.

Plus, you're right, Jonesy was a nice cat 😺 😁

In the box.

Which as Schroedinger says, means it could be either alive or dead.

But since the writers don't want to alienate the audience, it'll be fine (probably).

#Alien #Cluedo final round

Is it . . .

Ripley,

in the escape ship

With the steam,
hard vacuum,
grappling gun
and ships booster engine
(just to be sure)

"This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo. Signing off."

Ok, on the escape ship with Jonesy.

Leaving the Nostromo (and that creepy #xenomorph) in your rear view mirror.

Time for a good long rest, with nothing else to worry about.

Oh no. Unexpected guest and just as your getting ready for bed too

And Ripley just leaves Jonesy right there with the #Alien !

Ok, the ships going to blow up and the #xenomorph is between you and the escape ship but that's no excuse.

And as for calling Mother a bitch?

This is all going on your end of contract review. And I can't say it's looking good.

Next on #Alien . . .

Jones the cat leads Ripley on a wild goose chase around the bridge while the #xenomorph gets the 2-for-1 special from the cylinder store.

(Lambert's screams over the intercom still go through me every time. Veronica Cartwright is such a good actor)

With the girlie mag (ew)?

Bye, Ash. You backstabbing synthetic, you.

You get a great final monologue though.
