How are you all celebrating today? 😃
same from me .
what will we call february 23 next year? prometheus day?
By doing a lot of work, getting my underarms lasered, and preparing for an exhibition soon.
Not a lot of time for Alien today.
Will be celebrating with a viewing of Alien on the big screen... tomorrow on 4/27. :laugh:
Hope we get a picture from Hawley's show today, and I look forward to Mike's video on Blomkamp's movie!
Happy ALIEN DAY!
I'm looking forward to seeing ALIEN on the big screen tonight. ;D
Putting the movie on while I do some chores. Birthday celebration for family today else I'd spend the day watching films browsing books.
Happy Alien Day everyone☺️🙏
Happy AlienDay folk! I'll be celebrating being glued to my laptop all day! Hopefully we'll see some good announcements this year. I know Aliens Expanded has something to reveal later, I'm aware of something that should be announced today too. Hopefully we get something from Romulus and/or the TV show. It would be a genuine waste for them not to this year.
Perfect Organism has some stuff releasing today as usual.

I'm already 22 hours into #AlienDay here in Oz. Started last night with a 4K Alien in IMAX viewing to a packed house. Was bloody brilliant. Today been reading a bit of Alien material and now will probably finish off the day with finishing off with a bit more reading of Alien Inferno's Fall.
Happy Alien Day !

Happy Alien Day everybody!

Happy Alien Day! I kicked off my celebration by playing Isolation on my iPhone via remote play. That itself is a nightmare :laugh:

I was just talking about that comic book here on the forum earlier this week; it pains me that we didn't get this. I'm normally not keen on crossovers, but as this was a scenario I used to play out with my Kenner Aliens and Playmates TNG figures as a kid, I was really keen to see how they handled it. 😅

What's the exhibit? 😊
Happy Alien Day to everyone!
I'm playing some Alien Isolation again today and watching Alien on BluRay later.
Before I go to bed I'll read a little Aliens comics and then have a nice dream.

Happy Alien Day, everyone! I've finished my busy day and now I'm settling in at my mum's place for the weekend. It's time for my Alien Trilogy marathon, starting with the theatrical cuts. And of course, I'm rocking my Alien Trilogy Facehugger VHS Boxset T-shirt for the occasion! :) 8)
Happy Alien Day everyone!
I got myself a lil treat for the occasion that I've been eyeing for a while (NECA 1/4 Scale Big Chap).
And I have a screening of Alien coming up soon!

Also
Alien³ looks damn good in 4K, with the "Legacy Cut" fan project, not much else of interest though.

How do the cgi scenes with the alien running look, are they still weird looking or did they clean it up?

They actually replaced it entirely with all new stop-motion using the NECA Ultimate Runner Alien figure, at
@BlueMarsalis79 request.

Somehow this has escaped me, was not even aware of it till I saw your post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention blue, looks amazing.
And now that it is 4/27, I finally get to see Alien in the theater today!
Saw it last night. So enjoyed it. 8)
I don't think there were 12 people in the theatre.
I had read earlier this week on here about the "Company" being the only way the corporation was referred to in ALIEN. But Weylan Yutani is printed on a monitor in the film.
I saw it last night. ;D It's on the lower part of a monitor when Ripley says "turbulence" in the landing sequence.(I looked this morning it is visible on the Blu ray)
I think this is my 4th time seeing ALIEN on the big screen. One of the things that stands out to me every time is the sound. There is an engine sound that is like a heart beat during certain sequences. I spoke to a couple of people on the way out. It was their first time seeing it on the big screen. Of course they loved it with many praises of the film.

I was one of 4 people in the theatre, including myself, my dad, some other guy, and his (and I kid you not) seemingly 4 year old daughter.
When I saw it in 2019 for the 40th anniversary there was someone in the theater that brought his very young child as well.

I'm late in here but I hope everyone had a happy Alien Day. Here's some artwork we commissioned for the 45th Anniversary of the original by Azulg Arts.

Had a child in my screening last night as well, actually!
Reminds me of this video of some Texas parents who took their kids to see it back in '79.
I particularly find hilarious the dad who's reasoning was "I think my son should see this cause things like that could happen in life, it could be a true story"

The most unbelievable part of that video is when she said "4$ a ticket"... :P :laugh:

Wow. Dumb parents. Hahaha.
My local chain does $5 tickets on Tuesdays, which strikes me as an insanely great discount this day and age.

The sound design experienced in a big loud cinema is incredible! Like you said the ebb and flow of that hum, the heartbeat like sound ... the dangling of the chains and drips on Brett's hat. Just incredible. I even picked up on sounds I've never really actually heard before in one or two moments.

Sound design is exactly what I was most honed in on during this particular viewing. Almost felt like I was in a trance the whole time, letting the plot just kind of wash over me, with my mind racing off and prioritizing everything to do with the sound, which is absolutely incredible to begin with and made even more so in a theater setting.

It was a lot of money back then.

Another great video Corporal! 😃 You guys aren't wrong, the franchise needs a good VR title. It's Survios as the dev team that has me slightly concerned looking at their Walking Dead game.. but as RidgeTop said, it is unreal 5 engine, so hopefully they've upped their game 😁👍
An AvPG fanfilm is a *must* - I'm sure there are plenty of us here who would be willing to collaborate! 😊
Btw
@RidgeTop 's idea for pins for Patreon subscribers - I'm deffo down for that! 😃👍
I agree, also really into the idea of a AvPG fan film, and extra things such as pins and prints!
