Anyway, shame about the power loader. Did it come with a fake Ripley figure? If you happen to have a pic I’d appreciate it, I haven’t been able to find one.



It's uhh... Not movie accurate.

For context sake, Lanard used to make a series of GIJoe knock offs called The Corps. If you told me this power loader was actually a recycled Corps vehicle, I'd believe it.

I was always surprised at how much shelf space The Corps use to get at Toys R Us, big vehicles and everything taking up a lot of space.

Meanwhile GIJoe was usually not around at all.

Ha! My SO has that cap but neither of us wear hats (except when gardening) so it sits atop a human skull he got from a nursing school that was just going to throw it away. Seems appropriate.

Lol. Also: Beware of Cats. Speaking of which, I think it was in this thread that someone mentioned doing a version of Untitled Goose Game but with Jonesy instead of the goose. Did that ever happen? I forget if it was just jokingly suggested or if someone said they were actually working on a re-skin or making a home brew version.

I knew that James Remar was Hicks well intro production and some filming of Aliens but I didn't know he himself was actually filmed.



He's in the movie still as Hicks in the scene where the marines go into the hive for the first time as that was the first scene filmed.

Biehn was the only member who didn't get to customise his armour because of this. He also consulted with Cameron to change Hicks' character traits a bit (he was originally more like Kyle Reese apparently?). I always thought his armour never suited his character as much as the others did.

Damnit Wonka, you know what's going to happen when kids bite into those Aliens?!?

Also in the newish Alien comic we got something kinda new?

So there's an Alien alpha now, it's like a normal alien only it has multiple horns on it's head, not like the Queens, think more the devil or satan type. Also like the humanoid alien queen's as shown before.

It's.... Fine? The horns feel a bit much.

Although that comic really doesn't feel consistent about the aliens. Issue #3 they barely drove away a single drone with their pulse rifles. This newest issue has them mowing drones down left and right. It also seems like they're barely bleeding, which doesn't seem right. Makes me think back to all the aliens bursting like acid-filled balloons in Aliens.

The lack of alien blood is probably because the author forgot aliens bleed acid didn't have a good excuse for why killing these aliens wasn't eating holes through the hull.

The artist 100% just traced one of these guys, duplicated the layer, and ran with it


The story is fine, I guess, but the artist is the biggest possible hack to the point where I just want to see what poo poo he slaps together next.

Is Unspooled as annoying and unlistenable as How Did This Get Made? Just asking, because Paul Scheer repeating the same loving joke 25000 times and everyone endlessly interrupting and talking over each other is why I stopped listening to that podcast and haven't gone back since.

I haven't listened to How Did This Get Made in a long time. Then again the only one I remember listening to was their episode on Punisher: War Zone since they had director Lexi Alexander on.

Probably because it's rank trash full of unfunny shitarses that can't stop talking over each other endlessly. Yeah, repeat the same loving joke another 3000 times, Paul. Maybe it'll eventually be funny.

Unspooled is good. It's not funny like We Hate Movies but not as annoying as HDTGM. They know what they're talking about and it's good discussion I think. I know this is SA and we hate everything but I've enjoyed listening to Unspooled for the most part. For one thing, I find them unpredictable, which is refreshing even if they don't crack me up or anything.

As a pure audiovisual experience The Void was cool. Especially given the budget. Big respect for the production. Script is bad/forgettable however.

Virus (both the movie and the comic) is cool and good. The practical effects in the movie are wild, and even the limited CGI holds up.

I've never heard of Virus before but that looks like it might be fun. The trailer looks super 90s.
