B should be the answer, although he may have opined without personal knowledge that the answer is A, so it's difficult to know which answer you're looking for.

  The reason I added that proviso is because he (the "Quizmaster") may have been reading some interview where Woodruff mentioned making the suits more comfortable with each film, and that the very first suit was extremely uncomfortable (for Bolaji) compared to what they use today.

Nowhere in the question does it specify that Woodruff is speaking purely from his own experience.

My answer still remains B, regardless.

Clearly then, I've gotten Q7 "wrong".   The others are all dead certs, which I'll not be convinced are incorrect.

Superiority complex?  Moi?

Never!  ;)

Wager, can you point me in the direction of the quote you're going from in regards to Woodruff and the A:R suit being the worst?

Or if it's on the DVDs, a vague reference point?

It is on the Alien Resurrection DVD, in which he says "the suit this time is extremly uncomfortable and very bulky." Plus there was an interview not long ago in which he says the suit in Resurrection was the least comfortable.

Quote5. Why were the tubes added to the Aliens back in the original design?
a) They would help the actor to breath
b) It would balance the leght of the head
c) It would be the Aliens way of sencing its surroundings

Correct answer is: d) to break up the human form (according to Giger who said Scott insisted on their inclusion).

  Yeah, I remembered that quote too...and answered B, as it was the closest to the correct answer.  I just figured Wager remembered the gist of it, rather than the actual quote.

That's what makes his quiz style so vexing.   >:(

H.R. Giger says on the Alien DVD, that the tubes where added to balance the lenght of the head, as "the creature didnt look right without them". Theres no mention of using them to "break up the human form".

He said it in a Cinefantastique interview about the troubles surrounding Alien3.  Their inclusion was aesthetic.  Which just goes to show how silly and ambiguous these quizzes are.

At least I'm trying something new in these treads.  ::)  Sure their not perfect, but I gave it my best shot...

You just need definative and correct answers.  Every quiz you post someone has a problem with the answers.

Then I'll need to properly check over the answers when I do ALIEN TRIVIA 4: RESURRECTION...  ;)
