Your powers of observation are EGGstraordinary! That’s Egghead (Vincent Price) On topic: I wonder if there’s a facehugger in there. And speaking of eggs, I have ALIEN chocolate egg molds and made this for Easter. -

Absolutely. It's one of my favorite ripoffs. Just an absolute delight watching Caroline Munro pretend to be Barbarella. It also has some of the prettiest, most colorful star fields, and a fun score by John Barry.

Please, come join us in the Cult Exploitation Trash B-Movie Thread and share more! Plenty of Shatner there too! I guess you could get in under 18 as long as you had an adult. I was the youngest of 4, so my parents sort of let the wolves raise me by the time I came along. My brother had the ALIEN graphic novel by Walter Simonson, which I can strongly recommend. I think staring at these pages messed me up more than the film itself. You take that back!!! -

I saw Alien in the theater. I was 7 in 1979. Yes it scared me. But later that year I was TRAUMATIZED by Tobe Hooper’s made for TV Salem’s Lot. That one melted my brain, as well as every other unfortunate kid whose parents figured it would be mild if it was on network television. The floating undead vampire children and the Nosferatu like Mr. Barlow haunted me for what seemed like months after. Slept with my back to the window for a lot of my childhood. -

Cosplay just sounds like bedroom roleplay. I hate it. Now if I was a Furry, then it might be appropriate. As a former 501st member, I liked the use of the word “Trooping”, as in “you Trooping that event on Friday?” or Indiana Jones costumers have it right. It’s Gear. “I threw on my Gear for the Con.”

This theme (which I agree with the YT comments, sounds like an adapted version of the 90s animated theme) is dominated by that wonderful driving ostinato, like Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. Starts at 1:42 and appears again at 10:23. But I think it’s great, and it certainly qualifies for a darker style Superman type theme as rumors suggest for Kamen’s early ideas. I don’t have the disc, but I’ve heard the liner notes aren’t too helpful either. This may be a dumb question, because grant you, I only listened to the first disc and skimmed the second, but does this ostinato and theme appear elsewhere in the score? Again, my lack of familiarity may have caused me to miss it.

Okay, so I keep coming back to this score, because the End Credits are so damn cool! And they’re not on the OST, so if you want ‘em, you gotta get the LLL. Fine,but… The End Credits don’t represent the score!!! I keep scanning through the score, wishing and hoping to find the same driving textures and motifs, but they aren’t there. X-Jet has the motif, but it’s buried under synth. I clearly don’t know the history of this like many of you. Is it possible this suite was assembled from an early rejected score that Kamen recorded? Or demos? This is maddeningly frustrating.

THE ORVILLE - Show Discussion
Andy replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
Yes, if she can get them, sure. If not, she should do the Orville. It's a steady gig. I'm just spitballing, but she probably wants a role of her own, and not one that is dwarfed by writer/producer/actor/creator McFarlane. But if she can't get that, well... that's Hollywood. -
THE ORVILLE - Show Discussion
Andy replied to #SnowyVernalSpringsEternal's topic in General Discussion
Well, the way I see it, she’s not a star and should take what she can get. And if that’s the Orville, she should do it. She’s lovely, and talented, but she’s over 30 which makes her 90 in Hollywood years. Her ship sailed with the GI Joe role and the failed Wonder Woman pilot, which I only connected her with after seeing her on the Orville. -
QUARTET RECORDS ANNOUNCES: UNCOMMON VALOR (James Horner) (Remastered) 2024
Andy replied to Amer's topic in General Discussion
Samples sound great. I had written this off assuming it was a Commando clone, but no, there's much more to it. This just shot to the top of my list! -
