ALIEN 3 - Complete Music Listing
I finally finished something I've wanted to do for a while; create a complete list of music used in Alien 3, and to figure out how much music was not included in the soundtrack. Could you believe that over 32 minutes was not on the official soundtrack? My play & pause buttons on my VCR and CD player may be a little more worn out, as I've made a fairly complete list of the music in ALIEN 3. Just surf on over to the Music area and hit the Alien 3 section. I need your help for corrections! Just email me with any help or comments!
Update: Ooops, I just noticed that I misslabeled a few 'Wreckage and Rape' tracks...one of them should be 'Death Dance.' I'll fix that tomorrow. G'night! :)

Old News moved...
I've moved all of January - July 2000 news to the News Archives. The rest of 2000 will be moved to the archives a few months into 2001. :-)

Movie Babble on ALIENS
Moviebabble.com has picked ALIENS to showcase to the world...as one of their top movie picks. They have a quick review and why they think it is so great. But hey...see that picture? Of the Mad magazine from 1987? Well, they took it from my picture page. Silly folks. :) Anyway, visit the site. :) (I'd also recommmend their movie review of 'A Christmas Story')

More ALIEN Resurrection trivia...
/Mick passed this funny bit of Trivia about Alien Resurrection. When Sigourney Weaver actually did sink that basketball throw, Johner almost broke character by jumping, yelling and cheering. Fortunately, the cameras had stopped rolling at that point. (Taken from the Alien Resurrection book). [I woulda cheered too!] :) Thanks Mick!

Alien Alumni casting updates
Ron Perlman, who to Alien junkies is Johner from Alien Resurrection, has landed a spot on the upcoming Blade 2 movie, which is currently in production. Sigourney Weaver is filming "Heatbreakers" with Jennifer Love Hewitt (I can't stand Hewitt, Sigourney will carry that film :), and for a picture of her in it, just Click Here. Elliot Goldenthal (Alien 3 composer) has been signed to write the music for the Final Fantasy movie. Elliot and Sci-fi are back! :)

I got a bad memory...
Well, on November 27th I forgot to annouce a happy 3rd anniversary to the release of Alien Resurrection. It came to the big screen in 1997. Lets hope another alien sequel is on the way... ;)

More Links links links
RedInkWorks uses a link to the Alien Movies Resource for their pathway to Alien scripts. They are a huge resource and link library for screenwriters, scripts, and other related goodies. Thanks to them. :)

Alien 3 arcade game in a movie!
As Josh reports; In the arcade scene in "Dude, Where's My Car?" (Opened on Friday, check the Official Site) you can see in the background that there is the arcade game 'Alien 3: The Gun' and next to it was 'Alien vs. Predator' (Sweet!)

Golic has a new role
Although a bunch of his scenes were Cut from the film, Paul McGann played Golic in Alien 3. He has now signed on to play David Talmot, the leader of the Talamasca, which is a secret society who studies and documents the paranormal, in the film "Queen of the Damned." I beleive this film is the sequel to 'Interview with the Vampire' so that should give him some good exposure! He also was recently in 'Catherine the Great', which was aired a whole whack of times on local TV channels recently.

New Aliens website...
DJ Nock over at Heart of the Alien Saga recently gave this page the 'Heart of the Alien Saga' award. Thanks! Remember to take a look at his page. :)

Ripleys Jacket...sold?
Has Ripley's Jacket from ALIENS sold? Well, the bidding went up to $5,100 bucks but the reserve wasn't met. So for those of you with deep pockets...

Updates....and BILL!
Last day of my final exams. I'll respond to email / have updates / relax after today! Thanks for visiting! :-) Oh, and Bill Paxton (Hudson) is in the movie 'Vertial Limit' which is in theatres now, I've heard it is a good film....if not, just watch it for Bill! Speaking of Bill, he is appearing on Wednesday, December 20th on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and on Thursday, December 21st on The Late Late show with Craig Kilborn. Watch them! (Does anyone else find Craig Kilborn extremeley non-funny?)

New section...
Added a new section to the webpage...called "Current Events", it is a quick list of ongoing or coming up events and releases in the Alien world. High profile Ebay auctions, upcoming books, sci-fi conventions, upcoming tv appearances...it'll be on this page. Once it is posted in the news, it'll be there...should help people from scrolling in the news section to see what they missed. It is in its infancy right now, but it should grow. :)

Spanish ALIEN bootleg...all the info!
Maurice P. has brought this mystery CD to light. As reported by Marcos a few days ago, a new Spanish CD of the Alien soundtrack (bootleg of course) is available...and it seems to be the most comprehensive ALIEN soundtrack to date. 2 cds, and 46 tracks!
So, for more information (including the track listing) of "ALIEN - Banda Sonora Original del Film y Temas Rechazados" ("ALIEN - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack & Rejected Themes") just go over to the Music area, and look at the ALIEN section. [Huge thanks to Maurice and Marco!]

'Nice' Script Site
Lots of script sites bandwidth steal...when they link to something on someone elses server without asking. However, the folks at Movie-Page's script section were nice enough to give the ALIEN Movies Resource some credit! :-) (I'm currently reading the Original Batman script, which you can find at this great script site.)

New additions to Alienshive.com are coming in at a steady pace. They recently have created a walkthough for level 1 of the Alien Resurrection game. Give it a look.

Another site links here...
The website "Arcadiaunderground.com" has the ALIEN Movies Resource has their link to the alien series in their 'sci-fi movies' section of their Links page. Arcadia Underground is "the ELITE source for true underground esoteric music and all that other great stuff your parents warned you about!!!" Did your parents warn you about the Alien movies? :)

DRAKE and VASQUEZ at convention!
The flyer is now up at the Comicbookscifi.com website (click under program), which declares that on December 10th, Mark Rolston (Drake) and Jenette Goldstein (Vasquez), both stars from the film ALIENS, will appear to sign autographs and do whatever else they do at sci-fi conventions. To see the flyer, just Click Here for page one, and Here for page two.
This convention cost just 5 bucks to get in (plus a fee for the autographs & pics), and is happening on December 10th at the Shrine Auditorium Expo Center in Los Angeles, California.

DVD site mentions this site...
It was nice of the folks at DVDmg to not only provide a detailed review of the Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection DVDs, but to also give a nice mention and link to the ALIEN Movies Resource. :) Thanks DVDmg.com!

UK delay on Alien Resurrection
As reported at AVPnews.com, Alien Resurrection (in the UK) has been delayed yet again....'till December 1st. Full story avpnews.com.

ALIEN vs PREDATOR on top 100 games list...
Also from avpnews.com, gamespot.co.uk managed to make a ranking of its top 100 games of all time. Just go to Avpnews.com for the full scoop...and AVP's ranking. A quote from the Gamespot website: "....Rebellion managed it and in doing so created one of the best movie-based tie-ins of all time." I would also recommend the following games: Prince of Persia, Lemmings, Monkey Island, Tie Fighter (my all-time fav), Warcraft, Doom, and one can't forget Sopwith2. Another applicable quote: The lights go out, a hidden wall opens and all hell comes pouring out at you. Inevitable response: loud swearing, finger glued to fire button hosing the area randomly while backpedalling like a lunatic." Too true.
[The last computer game I bought was the Bladerunner game...my poor computer can't handle anything else! Eventually I'll play Aliens vs Predator! :-) ]

Aliensfanclub.co.uk site is down...& awards added
The Aliensfanclub.co.uk website is down until January of 2001. Why? Because it is coming out with a new look and more info. I've also added their "top site award" to my webaward page, and the "diamond alien" award from Aliens Hive.

Hudson killing Barney
Yep, everyone's favorite badass takes out everyone's most hated dinosaur. to listen to this soundfile, just go to the Audio/Video area and go to the 'misc sounds' section...and download the clip! (warning though... harsh language is used.)

Narcissus name origin...
Ever wonder where the name "Narcissus" came from? Yes, it had its origin before the film Alien, as the title for the lifeboat. Joseph Conrad entitled the book (picture at right - click for larger) with the name, as well as naming the Sulaco and the Nostromo in other works. [Note: Don't spaz at me since the book contains the naughty 'n' word. It is just in the title.]

New ALIEN bootleg CD

Sigourney is Hard!
In the magazine Flicks, October Issue, there is a nice mention of the Alien series. [Note: This magazine is now defunct, after only 1(?) issue]. On page 70, Sigourney Weaver as Ripley is rated the "Hardest" woman in movies. They give some nice praise to the Alien movies as well. Sigourney also has the prime spot on the cover of the magazine in her old Alien 3 - cover shot pose. On page 76 there is also a contest for the ALIEN series DVDs. Of course...don't enter it, as the magazine is dead.

Aliens Vs. Predator FAN Script!
Surf on over to the Fan Fiction area and read the latest in sci-fi adventure parody, "Aliens Vs. Predator" by J. Eyers. A must read for those who need to laugh and are frustrated with the lack of development in the movie franchise. :) Just remember...read it with a smile! Much thanks to J. Eyers. :)

Red's Script boo-boo
It seems that the pesky formating of the 'text' version of Eric Red's unused Alien 3 script is a little wonky...some of the indents don't keep. I'll fix that soon.

I'll post another update tomorrow which will contain more info on required reading. ;) Also, the news section is getting a little big, but I'll start a new one (and upload the year 2000 to the news archives) at the end of december.

Eric Red's UNUSED ALIEN 3 script!
An ALIEN Movies Resource Page exclusive!
Eric Red was commissioned to write Alien 3 as Renny Harlin (the director attached to the project at that time - mid 1989 or so) suggested he could do it. His script not only was rejected, but assisted in Renny Harlin asking to be removed from the directorial duties. And, until today, this script was unavailable on the Internet. But many hours of typing can make a difference! :)
Just browse at the script area and look under Alien 3, which now holds *6* scripts, 5 of which were rejected. (P.S. - I'd suggest getting the .rft format.)

links links links
Got an ALIENish website? Does it have a Link in my links area? IF it doesn't, mail me and I'll add it. I also added some websites that I use for shopping. These are CDnow.com, Amazon.com, Chapters.ca (for Canadians), Allposters.com, and more are coming.

I made an online bio. Wanna see? Do you employ? Then hire me! Just go over to Myself and find out a bit about the guy who does all this Alien webpage stuff. :)

Astronomy Picture of the Day
I like space. I also like photos of space. for an excellent site with great photographs, all with a great summary of the photo...just go Here to get your Astronomy Picture of the Day (sort of Alien related, isn't it? ;)

This site has great company...
This site has given this page quite an honor...

ALIEN 3 director David Fincher has 2 upcoming movies that have been more-or-less confirmed as his next projects. Currently he is working on 'The Panic Room', which will be followed by 'Rendezvous With Rama'.

Alien Reference in RugRats
Ahhh! The first new Alien reference in a while. (I have more to add too.) This is from an Episode of RugRats, where a famous tagline is uttered... just go to the References section to check it out. Thanks to Stephen S.

ALIEN Props up for auction...
A few interesting items are up for auction at Ebay. The first is from a prop proudction company 'Offworld Effects.' these guys were commissioned by 20th Century Fox to produce a number of Alien statues and replica props and costumes to stand in the foyers of the premier cinemas. Their guns were cast from the originals (used in the movie.) Click Here to see the ALIEN RESURRECTION prop gun.
Another nifty item are some original floor panels, made in 1978 and used as floor panelling throughout the cockpit of the Nostromo and on other sets for the 20th Century Fox film ALIEN. After use they were returned to the hire company. Later the same hire company was used to supply set pieces for ALIENS. Again the floor panels were hired and used, mostly in the Sulaco’s hanger where the APC was loaded into the drop ship. To see pictures of the prop (during the film too), just Click here. [There must be a zillion of these somewhere.] Thanks to Andrea for the notice.

Great Polish Site up and running
A new Polish Language Alien site is now online and looking good. Just surf over to Alien-nieoficjalna strona and check it out. Thanks to Tomexx.

James Cameron news bit
Aliens director James Cameron is working on his 'Mars' project, which may turn into a book instead. (More at Cinescape. Also, Cameron is going to be a Dad (again). He has a kid on the way with Suzy Amis, wife #5 and with whom he met on the set of his film Titanic. He also dumped Linda Hamilton (wife #4)...which he worked with on Terminator 2, when he was married (I think married at this point) to wife #3, Gale Ann Hurd, who also produced ALIENS. He was also married to Kathryn Bigelow (the movie director) at one point. And there is another wife in there too somewhere. This is his 2nd child, he shares a daughter with Hamilton.

Alien director alumnus make list...
Posted at 1:26am (no joke!)
James Cameron and Ridley Scott rank high on an upcoming Hollywood Reporter (Weekley International Edition - November 14th) poll of Global Director power... read this:

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Steven Spielberg is No. 1 on the list in The Hollywood Reporter's Director Power(R) 2000 survey, scoring a perfect 100 global score. Key industry executives participated in the confidential worldwide poll, which resulted in James Cameron (99.06), George Lucas (98.13), Ron Howard (89.38), Tim Burton (89.06), Martin Scorsese (88.44), John Woo (88.13), Ridley Scott (87.34), Robert Zemeckis (85.63) and Michael Bay (85.00) rounding out the top 10 ranking directors on this year's list. Jodie Foster (70.00) is the top-scoring woman director and Spike Lee (60.94) ranks as the top black director.


This is the fourth time The Hollywood Reporter has conducted the survey. The previous edition, published in 1998, also saw Spielberg finish in the top slot scoring a perfect 100 overall global score up from 99.38 in 1998. The top three finishers this year maintained their positions from the 1998 results. James Cameron, with a 99.06 score, held his grip on the No. 2 slot. He saw his number rise from 97.84 in 1998. George Lucas continues in the third spot at 98.13 (vs. 97.53 in 1998).

Revamped Links section...
I've remodeled the Links section to be easier to read. I've also reordered the links, deleted old links and added new ones. (Some of the websites I haven't sorted though...and I have to update more dead websites too.) If you have an ALIEN website that deserves to be listed, or know of a webpage that should be on the list, just send me an email and I'll put it on the page. Thanks!
I hope tonight to also add many more links related to the series (I have a lot of bookmarks to check!)

ALIENS study guide...
Posted in the wee-wee hours
One time, 10 years ago, I was able to watch ALIENS in school. It was for a several week long movie class, and myself and a friend were able to bring our TV version of ALIENS (with several added scenes) to play...because all the swear words and ultra-violence were cut. So do you want to get lucky and watch ALIENS in class? Well, if you can, then an Aliens Student Study Guide has been created for this class! Check it out...maybe it'll help on you an ALIENS paper. :-)

More news tomorrow...or I guess later today. Time for some sleep!

SWEDISH Alien prop exhibit!
Posted in the wee morning hours
Brand spanking new. Thanks to MATTE, everyone can take a look at his pictures taken during an ALIEN prop exhibit that found its way to Sweden. Great pictures...many of Alien 4, Alien 3...and a few older ones. Just go to the Picture Area and pick the 'Swedish Prop Exhibit' link. I whipped up this page fairly quick, so email me if I have any mistakes.
The next picture 'expose' will be a screengrab fest of 'the making of Alien 3.' :) Thanks for visiting! [Note: This is the first picture area update since June of 1998!]

The Series on TV
A Local channel aired 'Alien Resurrection' last week, and the Spokane area FOX affiliate is airing Alien 3 this week (Saturday, I think.) Check your local listings...the local TV premiere of Alien Resurrection just might be coming to your house!

VASQUEZ watched by 30+ million people!
Jenette Goldstien (who played Vasquez in Aliens) portrayed a helicopter medic in ER, the top-rated TV show on NBC on Tuesday night (11/08/2000). She spoke several lines for her role. It was nice to see her on TV! She was also in episode #5.9 "Good Luck, Ruth Johnson (12/10/1998).
More Goldstien info (more at IMDB):

"She was going up for tiny part of a marine who got killed early on, but since that role was tiny and hadn't many lines, she was given the second lead to read for producer Gale Ann Hurd and director James Cameron. "He was crawling around on the office floor with a little hand-held camera while I was running around". Goldstein filled the vacancy, became Vasquez and broke new grounds for screen images of strong women."

"The makeup took an hour. The makeup woman said I had the most ornery freckles she had ever seen." Pumped-up tough gal Vasquez won Goldstein not only Saturn Award as the best supporting actress but also love and recognition of sci-fi fans all over the world."

I'll also be adding some awards that this page has got, and add more links & an 'affiliate-top site' link area.

Ryder comments on ALIEN
Posted near midnight.
Over at Cinescape, Ryder comments on what she liked about ALIEN...
"I always find it more terrifying when you don't see the gore or you don't even see the bad guy... our imaginations can be very sick, can't they! The first Alien movie is a great example. Tom Skerritt is in this vent, and the alien is in there, but you never see it. They never cut away to the alien. Movies [like that] are a lot scarier."
She is doing publicity for her new (and oft-delayed) movie, 'Lost Souls.' Click Here to go to the official Lost Souls website

ALIENS people update...
Sigourney Weaver can be seen in " Company Man", as well as the upcoming "Breakers."
Michael Beihn can be currently seen in "The Art of War" and in the upcoming "Cherry Falls."

Posted at 8:08am
Yaphett Kotto (Parker in ALIEN) was interviewed on the TV show 'Bynon' yesterday. This is Canadian entertainment show. He recently won a life-time acheivement award. Did he mention anything Alien? Well, after I watch the tape of it I'll tell you. :) Canadians, check for repeats.

ALIEN Resurrection for Playstation Press Release!

Fincher's comments on a rejected script...
I've had this for a while...it should be posted up. Back in 1992 Premiere magazine had some comments from David Fincher on Alien 3. One of the topics was about an earlier draft of ALIEN 3 that was rejected. I'll post these comments in a few minutes over on the Scripts area.

Fincher's next movies
Speaking of Fincher, his next movie is going to be 'The Panic Room.' This film is to star Nicole Kidman, Jared Leto, and Dwight Yoakam. (For more info just Click Here for more at Corona.) Following this he will work on 'Rendevous with Rama.' (Coming Attraction's for info.) As Cinescape reported: "The Intel Corp. has partnered up with Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary's Revelations Ent. on bringing Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama to the big screen. The partnership will result in a new subsidiary company devoted to digital filmmaking."

Cameron's TV show...
James Cameron's TV show 'Dark Angel' premiered last night on FOX tv. It was a little slow at times, the writing was sometimes weak, but overall it was entertaining. It is an hour-long show, (the premiere was 2 hours, but PACKED with tv adverts), and Cameron co-wrote the pilot episode. I believe he serves as an executive producer. And don't be fooled, it wasn't really sci-fi-ish at all. But look at the retro fitted cars...very Blade Runnerish, a 'la Ridley Scott. Not quite as good though. :)

BJORK has seen Aliens...
Singer, songwriter and actress Bjork had a funny comment relating to the film Aliens. From Premiere Magazine, ( Click Here for the article):
"The second time in my life that I was ever physically violent was four years ago, when this woman in Thailand was trying to interview my son live on the air and she was crazily abusing it, and I just saw red and hit her. It's a different energy there when you want to protect your children. I remember after that, me and my son going to see Aliens, and there's that line in there, 'Get away from her, you bitch!' And we were laughing our heads off, because this had just happened to us!"
Bjork recently won 'best actress' award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role as Selma in the film 'Dancer in the Dark.' The film won the Palm D'or as Best picture. [I'm a fan of Bjork...for more info on her just Click here, Here, Here, or even Here.]

New Alien website
Webmaster Nickerson asked me to pass on a link to his new Alien site, ALIENS PLACE: The Hideout. Add it to your daily surfing today. :-)

ALIEN WAR info
Scott Oliverson passed along some information on the ALIEN WAR attraction. It has been added to the Trivia area....and here:

In this WALK-THROUGH attraction, based on the four hit films you and other guests are invited to an OPEN HOUSE at the WAYLAND-YUTANI CORPORATION laboratory complex on a remote planet to see some ALIENS who have been captured by the weapons division and being held in suspended animation or frozen sleep. UN/NATO Colonial Marines escort you through the base while telling you about the monsters when suddenly another marine comes running up, face white as a sheet. He explains that the creatures have escaped their containment systems due to a breach in the system and now are hunting their prey. So now you and the other guests are running for your lives in terror through darkened corridors & hallways while trying to avoid being captured or killed by the ALIENS! Suddenly the xenomorph monsters jump out of hiding, hissing and screeching in triumph from all directions as they attempt to kill you but the marines retaliate by blasting the creatures with their pulse rifles & smart guns. In the end you and the others escape to safety back into the real world!

This turbo-ride, motion-based simulation is located at San Francisco's Pier-39. It too allows visitors to reenact a scary scene from one of the ALIEN movies. First you are standing in the queue preshow room before the main ride begins. Your commanding officer of the UN/NATO COLONIAL MARINES briefs you as cadets or recruits about a dangerous mission you are about to undertake. He tells you about a colonist base on the planet Archeron/LV-426, yet another homebase built over the same spot where the previous one stood in the 2nd film...Suddenly the transmission jams or breaks in with an S.O.S. incoming message from a lone, frightened surviving marine. He starts telling about his squadron being massacured by the ALIENS as they attempted to locate human life inside the complex. Unable to find any survivors (Just like the marines did in the 2nd film), the soldiers decide to plant a bomb to detonate and destroy the base, killing all the monsters in the explosion. Suddenly the ALIENS attack the soldiers, capturing or killing them. He pleads for somebody, anybody to come rescue him before the bomb explodes. So now your commander orders you to accompany another squadron of marines to rescue any survivors on Archeron before it is too late.


Now you enter the turbo-ride simulator designed to look like the Armored Personnel Carrier or APC from the movie. The seats are programmed to move in sync with the film on the BIG SCREEN creating an illusion as though you are reenacting a scene from a movie! Once you and your fellow marines disembark from the mothership orbiting the and your fellow marines disembark from the mothership orbiting the planet, the dropship carries you down to the surface of LV-426 and arrives at the colony base. Then the APC rolls forward into the complex and begins searching for the 1st Squad survivors. Some survivors are found hiding inside the wreckage of another APC, ALIVE! Suddenly the ALIENS attack our squad and those we've come to rescue and the wargames commence. Next begins a series of shootouts, being chased through the corridors & hallways of the base by the monsters, and the grand finale is the confrontation with the QUEEN ALIEN herself! But we do escape before the bomb detonates with the survivors and return safely to the mothership in orbit high above.
[Nathan's Note: This ride was featured on TV a few times, some video of the ride can be found at Weyland Yutani: SWD ALIENS.

Website Updates: Triva & Alien 4
I've added some ALIEN Resurrection trivia that I've been meaning to upload...they are the first batch under the Alien 4 heading. Find out what directors passed on Alien 4, and what athelete had an audition...
I've combined the Alien 4 'story' and 'about' pages into the new 'Background' area. It is much easier to read now. I haven't updated the Alien Resurrection pages in over 2 years...my next task is the people section. Thanks for visiting! :)

Posted at 3:30pm
You know all those updates I promised a month ago? Well, I think its time I started doing them. I hope to have some of those updates added daily for the next little while. But here are some quickies...

ALIEN mentions...
* FOX's advertisements for the upcoming TV series Dark Angel proclaim: "From the director of Aliens and Titanic"

* The August issue of MAXIM Magazine mentions ALIENS:

(page 68) - Included on a 'where are they now' update on the cast of the 1982 film 'Diner.' The listing for 1986: "Banner years for Paul, who costars in both Aliens and Beverly Hills Cop II." Paul's end ranking is 4th (out of 6.)

On a Movie Review of 'Supernova': "What does this umpteenth Alien spawn have in comon with a real supernova? They both blow." [James Spader, who stars in Supernova, also stared with Paul Riser in the TV pilot episode of 'Diner', based on the feature film (See above.) Spader played Fenwick. In the film, Fenwick was played by Kevin Bacon...6 degrees of Bacon, anyone? See, the Alien Movies Resource provides all sorts of trivia!]

ALIEN Resurrection Trailer MP3's...
Thanks to FoxFireJ2, everyone can listen (in MP3 format) the Alien 4 trailer music as heard on the Immediate Music website. These folks composed the track entitled 'Code Red' for the trailer. Also in MP3 format is the 'Code Red' music as heard in the Alien Resurrection trailer itself, courtesy of Ken. To listen to all this, just go to the ALIEN MUSIC page and go to the Alien 4 area!
I've also cleaned up some bad html and made the Alien 3 section much easier to read.

First draft of ALIEN!
Posted at 11:00am
Film Manuscript Arkiven has posted (for the first time on the Internet) the *first* draft of Dan O'bannon's ALIEN script. There are numerous changes between this draft and the eventual final filmed-script. So Click Here to give it a look!

I'll be back at my computer in 5 days, so a large update will occur then. Emails will be answered then as well [tuesday]. Thanks!

August 31st
I've had a hard drive crash. :( Basically, a huge chunk of 4+ years of info I've saved relating to the internet & school has been zapped...a few things I was going to add to this website as well. So I don't think there will be an update for a few more days until I get this fixed! However, I was also leaving for a mini-vacation tomorrow so I might not be able to be as quick to respond to emails as before, but no worries, everything will be responded too when I get back to school on the 12th.

Sorry for the delay in posting news!

Praying Aliens
Posted at 3:21am
Added a funny little quote by Sigourney Weaver into the Trivia Section, just at the end of the Aliens part. Anyway, it made me laugh.

Links In Orbit and Open Here recently passed along a message to inform me that the ALIEN Movies Resource Page has been added to their database. Woo-hoo? :)

Cinescape / Whedon / Alien ...
Posted at 10:18am
Sinistro79 stumbled upon an article in the new issue of Cinescape magazine: It publishes a reader response to the Joss Whedon article that was in the magazine's last issue. Joss Whedon was blaming the studio for the faults in Alien Resurrection. The reader "trashes Joss Whedon for writing the script." The previous article had "Joss blaming it on the pre-editing of the script (and studio) before filming even started." Even so, the writer of the article goes on to say that Alien 3 is a very underrated film and that Alien Resurrection gives a bad name to the series that gave a worthy end the franchise in Alien 3." The basic gist was the Joss is a hack writer who doomed Alien 4 from the start. [Cinescape was also one of the first (if not -the- first) magazine to interview Whedon about Alien 4, way back in mid 1995. I'll type up and post that interview eventually.] Also in that same issue is an article (interview?) with James Cameron, primarily on his upcoming TV series 'Dark Angel.' Aliens is listed as a previous hit, and it includes a non-movie picture of Newt & Sigourney going to medical when the lights go out in Aliens. One neat thing about this picture is that it clearly shows Newt holding Casey, her doll, by the neck. [Thanks to Sinistro79 for the alert!]

Need a DVD case for the 5th Legacy disk?
Remember the ALIEN Legacy DVD set? Remember the elusive '5th' DVD that contained the excellent Documentary on the ALIEN series, created by the people at Sharpline Arts? Well, that 5th mail-away disk came in a soft sleeve, and not an actual DVD container. Sharpline even created (located at their site in the ALIEN section) an excellent .pdf file of their 'real' DVD case insert. Now, AOL can supply you with a case! As RK reports: Over the past 2 months, AOL has mailed me their free software in a DVD Keep Case. What a waste of money for them, but a plus for me. They even put one in our newspaper. So everyone in town got one. Just thought the readers would want to know. So try AOL for a DVD case. :-) Thanks to RK.

I'm just about finished getting caught up in emails. I have a list of about 10 things to add/update to the site that I've kept in storage for a while. I *hope* to get it done all today. Thanks for dropping by!

I'm starting a quick format modification of the news section. It'll all be in a table and right-aligned. I want to get the rest of the pages on the site using some similar formating.
There will be an update a little later today!

ALIEN 3 music in Titus
I've made a few small additions to the Alien 3 music section. These include a small summary of where the Alien music can be found elsewhere...including a link to hear the remixed "Wreckage and Rape" segment that Elliot Goldenthal used in the movie Titus. (He composed both scores.) Thanks to FoxFireJ2!

Did you like the NIN / ALIEN series videos? Well, the creator has made another one; but this time to scenes of Se7en, also directed by David Fincher (Alien 3). The video is based off of the Nine Inch Nails song "closer (precursor)", which was remixed by the groupCoil. This song was played during the title sequence. In less than one week over 8,000 NIN fans have seen it...now it is your turn! Just Click Here to see it. [Thanks to Kevin!]
