Will you be making that long procrastinated Dawdon beach pilgrimage for the anniversary?

It's unlikely. One day, though. One day!

Ridley looks so miserable in that pic

I had intended to get a cap of that footage, but it was so awkward trying to get it off the Bluray.

Seeing Ridley without facial hair makes me anxious

Here is a small quote from Fincher from 1992 regarding Ridley's visit to the set.  Quote from The Independent:

"I always thought Ridley was brilliant and I never appreciated how brilliant he was until I tried to make this movie. Actually, he came down to the set once when we were setting fire to something. In he walked with his silk suit and one of his big Cuban cigars, looking fabulous. Ridley asked how it was going and I said, 'Really bad.' And he said, 'It never goes well ... this is not the way to make movies, make sure you make a little film where you have some control whilst they're beating you up"

They did film a snippet of the dippy bird used towards the end of the film but it was only used in the Alien 3 workprint.

Quality isn't the best.

I'm glad they didn't use that shot of the dippy bird in the final edit.  I'm sick of the stupid dippy bird.  It turns up in everything Alien related.  It's the worst kind of fan service.  The dippy bird was a cute little item onboard the Nostromo.  There's no reason why it would be on every other spaceship or colony.
