Introduce yourself to the community here!

Hello all! I am a huge Alien fan!!! This actually the first site I have ever posted on. I have been truely impressed by the great posts and the intellect that goes in to them. On a funny note, my son has asked a lot of questions as to. why I am always on this site. I tried to explain why. He then asked, can you talk to that lady that screams in the video? Gotta love the mind of a child. Anyway, thanks for letting me be part of this great community.

I was 12 when Alien first came out. Those lucky friends of mine with unscrupulous older siblings (or parents!) got to go and get the living shit scared out of them. I had to wait until VCR's got invented so I could finally rent it...and it blew my mind hole.. I know John Carpenter poo pooed it in favour of his 'The Thing' for I which I will give a shout out here as also a great horror film, but come on...you can't argue with a perfect organism. I remember our high school put on a double feature in the auditorium- The beast within followed by Alien. Quel double filme non?! Anyway, can't wait for PROM- its gonna be awesome dudes and dudettes

Hey guys! As my name implies, I was introduced to this wild world first through "Aliens"...I think I was in 7th or 8th grade at the time. I stayed over night at a friend's and he had both movies on tape. He said the 2nd one had a bunch of Aliens, cool guns and was directed by the guy who did Terminator, so naturally that sounded awesome to me =) He had a pet guinea pig and I had never slept over at his house before, so I spent the whole friggin' night with a pillow over my face because the pig sounded like a face hugger running around the room. "Aliens" is my most watched movie of all time, but as an adult, I do appreciate "Alien" as a film and regard it as the best in the franchise. Like everyone, I'm fascinated by Mr. SJ and can't wait to have some of the mystery peeled away. Of course half of the genius of the SP was not knowing anything about such an amazing piece of sci-fi. Knowing Ridley's and Lindelof's (born the same year as me) style, I'm pretty confident they will probably add as much mystery to the story as they solve, so I'm excited!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah...I know the name is weird =) The line just stuck in my head. It is not wise to piss off a guy who has the authority to launch a nuke at your billion dollar atmospheric processor!

Jumped on board after reading this site for quite awhile, and enjoying the camaraderie with those that post. Pretty simple - excited for the flick, had a weird take on what might be happening (which I'm sure most have already put together watching the trailer) but wanted to be apart of this gig!

Hi, been following the site since last year but only plucked up the courage to join up as i'm quite new to the whole forum thing. lots of interesting theories and ideas being thrown about this past few months which makes great reading. been a fan of alien and ridley for a long time and am in the middle of the book again gonna follow it up with do androids dream, hopefully we are going to see an epic that is the best of both alien and bladerunner. heres hoping.

Hi All My Handle is Tusky. Member of The Hunters Lair, predator costuming forum. Have been a fan of the Alien series since i first saw the local cinema advertising Alien in '79. Have loved all of the Alien films, yes even the last two. Can't wait to see what Sir Ridley has in store for us with 'Promethus'. Hobbies include costume building, designing and SPFX make up. Cheers

Hi everyone, I love the Alien films and have been a fan of Ridley Scott's ever since I watched Bladerunner. Like all of us I'm hoping that Prometheus is as fantastic as it looks and Ridley Scott does what he said and scares us all sh*tless!!

Hi, I am Moonibal, and I have become increasingly obsessed with with the Alien movies since 2007. I have a particular soft spot for Alien 3 as for the longest time it was the only Alien movie they showed on the Starz Channel before I owned the movies myself, so I would stay up past midnight just to watch it everynight it was on which oddly enough happend two sometimes three times a week. I now own two different copies of each movie. Three for Alien and Alien 3, still working on the Aliens and Ressurection. I also own all of the soundtracks but Aliens which I should be getting again soon as used to have a digital copy on an older computer. So yeah I am working on becoming a die hard Alien fan. I would also like to say that I do not count the AVP movies as Alien cannon and that if anything they are their own universe. Also I love this site. It has kept me updated on everything promethues since last summer when I discovered it. So many hours spent here, so worth it.

My name's Adam, I like to [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/SimBoy48]create trailers[/url] and [url=http://shadowblisk.deviantart.com/]stuff[/url] in my own time, Sci-Fi films are my favourite genre of films and this one does look fantastic so far. :3

Hey you guys! awesome that your all here...what city are you in? What do you do for a living? Which Alien Franchise film did you like the most if any? Do you have any questions about the web site? There's lots of cool people here who will help in any way they can...have fun!

I live in England, Berkshire. Right now I'm in college doing Media, Photography and Religious Studies, I think the first is the best right now, but in all honesty all of them I probably liked equally!

I was born in '76, so didn't see 'Alien' until I was about 12 in '88, a couple years after 'Aliens' was released. I watched 'Aliens' shortly thereafter. As a result, this is what was on the door to my bedroom until I left my parents' house for college. Unfortunately, it didn't survive the move, but it's nice to know you can still buy it. :-) [img]http://www.posterplanet.net/images/aliendoor.jpg[/img]

Check this out I have told it many times but the last time was a while ago. My dad was in charge of Irwin Toy before headng up Decca Records when I was a kid, and in both cases he was in charge for the entire North American market...I am gonna be 50 On June 15th, 1 week after the film's release. 3 Months before ALIEN was released, he took me to a Toy Show in NYC and presented me with the very first Prototype ALIEN doll, made by Kenner, a company owned by irwin Toy. He pulled out it;s Jaw, looked at me and said..."This is gonna be Huge" and to this day I do not think he realizes himself just how right he was about that. Bonus: Here we are some 33+ years later and terrifically funny and loving guy who happens to be going through his own personal HELL and is on Dialisys 4 times a week for 4 hours each time at least "Ruhiyana" sent me a beautiful japanese sculpted ALIEN DOLL collectors item from "Revolvtech" i thnk is how it is spelled..anyways this forum Rocks and so do the people on it. You gotta Love this Board Guys ! It Rocks And so will Prometheus!

Sparty, that is a great story! Check this out... how cool is this model?! [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/167nkpl.jpg[/img]

Happy to lend support to this very detailed site and forum. I was too young to see 'Alien' back in 1979, but I caught up with things in the 80's. I'm probably in the camp that was uncomfortable with the shift in tone that occurred in the sequel by Cameron; the original always seemed pretty fresh and mysterious for what was (in a very real sense) an updated haunted-house B-movie. Like many followers of the franchise, I've given thought to the universe behind the four core films (i.e. the society, the context of the exploration and trade we see in the original film). I also have had an interest in tabletop roleplaying for some time (i.e. the verbal narratives, rulebooks and dice rolling associated with games like 'Dungeons & Dragons', among others). When I heard that Ridley Scott was committing to a prequel to his original film, I thought it would be interesting to combine roleplay and Alien fandom by writing a prequel game campaign for my gaming group. As expected, my work seems to be nothing like that of the upcoming film 'Prometheus' (which is fine by me!). The work proved to be an interesting exercise in story back-engineering, and - I think -provided some challenging fun for the players. So, if you happen to be/have been a roleplayer as well as an Alien fan, you may also enjoy listening to the recorded game sessions which are available free at the capacious http://rpgmp3.com/ site. A particular fascination for many roleplayers is H.P. Lovecraft and his 'Cthulhu' mythos, usually by way of the licensed roleplaying game by Chaosium. There is, also, evidence that the original script for the 1979 film was - in part - inspired by Lovecraft, besides well as other sources (e.g. Italian filmmaker Mario Bava). So, in a way, roleplaying a fan-written Alien prequel, which I call 'Alien0', brought together those elements. To check out the free Alien0 recordings, read up on the backstory, see imagery, star system maps, and other game 'props', visit http://rpgmp3.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=71 and feel free to explore.

Happy to lend support to this very detailed site and forum, and very much looking forward to 'Prometheus', given that I have (in a very peripheral way) a stake in it.

Dont want to get too geeky on this, but it would make no sense in my opinion to totally ignore the tech that cameron gave us in aliens. you dont actually get that much in alien, and it is actually amazing what we can get out of that small piece of film making. bunch of guys (and ladies obviously) off on some deep space factory job. cameron took it in a different direction, but in my opinion, equally good when you consider its target market. like everybody else im guessing, im looking forward to this movie more than any other in my life. im a total star wars buff since i was 3 at empire strikes back time, and could not wait for the prequels, but this will (hopefully) be the best example of how sci-fi should be made so far. i dont want to get too far into the ins and outs of the movie, and certainly dont want to be talking about whats guaranteed based on a few clips from a trailer, but i do love hearing peoples opinions on what can happen. only thing that annoys me is my educated friends who dont even know prometheus is coming. the best part of this (again, hopefully) is that 30 years from now we'll all be able to look back and say we were part of it from the start, vural websites and all

Hi! Been a fan of the Alien movies since around 1982 when I first got to see the original movie on Australian TV. Since then I've read a watched everything Alien I could get my hands on! The new movie looks absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to see how Mr Scott expands and elaborates on this already great story/mythos, and the origin of the species. (If that's at all part of the film!?) Cheers!

Hi everybody, I'm been lurking here for quite awhile now. Finally getting the nerve to create a profile and start posting. I've really enjoyed reading up on everyone's theories about the film. I'm a huge fan of all the Alien movies. Well, not so much a fan of Alien Resurrection. Alien is by far my favorite. Another favorite movie of mine is Ridley's Blade Runner. Like everyone else here I can't wait to see Prometheus. I want to give a shout out to any other ladies that are here. Are there any?

Yep,I can count myself as a female. I have never introduced myself, so.. Hey! I'm Ruth (as you can see). I can't remember how I found this site, but when I did, I got really interested and started reading everything here. And then decided to join you all and start discussing! I'm much much younger than you all probably are (I guess), but I've been a fan of Alien and other space/horror/etc stories since my childhood. Thanks to my parents. And yes, English is my second language, so sorry for the mistakes!

Greetings everyone. I have been a fan of ALIEN ever since it came out on theateres back in 1979. I saw it for the first time somtime in 1980 when a BETAMAX copy turned up in my house. It was a copy of a copy so it was terribly grainy. I must have been 8 or 9 years old at the time. It stimulated my imagination in ways 'Star Wars' (or 'Close Encounters' for that matter) never did. For me, nothing can top the original; but I do like all four chapters in the alien quartet. Cheers!

Hi! I am a lung fluke, more formally known as Paragonimus Kellicotti. I cause pneumonia. AND...wait for it...I'm a chick. I have been a sci fi geek since grade school. Mostly influenced by my Dad, who brought me to see some movies at an inappropriately young age. The first one I remember was Event Horizon, and I was in seventh grade; you'd think I wouldn't touch sci-fi with a ten foot pole after that. Instead I was addicted. I love the way these films don't even need to do much to frighten us. While there are your typical horror-film-like-moments (i.e. scary music+slow camera movements+cats moving at inappropriate moments); but those moments aren't even necessary because at the heart of it all, the most frightening thing is the fact that we are insignificant. We have the power thought, we have complex emotions, but there is a whole universe out there that doesn't care we exist. AND WE DON"T EVEN KNOW WHERE IT ENDS! (or what's out there) If we were allowed to throw out profanity on this site I would write how *%)@*#(#(@()@)@)@ excited I am for this movie!!! P.S. I want a t-shirt! I graduate professional school on the day it comes out and I would totally wear it under my robes!

Hello everyone. I am really excited to see this movie. I'm sure all of you are too. I think I've isolated a pic of the space jockey from the latest trailer. I'll post it as soon as I figure out how to.

Hi this is Prometheus707. Please check my avatar and you will see space jockeys from this H.R. Giger. Pic from the 1970's

Check my avatar from H.R. COLLECTION. In fact is some sort of space suites but like biorganism included.

Hi..Getting excited.(I am!)..Can remember queing 'round the cinema when the first movie came out, yes I'm that old. So looking forward to exploring the "space Jockey" mythos this time around.

Hi everyone! I'm newbie and this is my first post, I'm sure this film will be amazing, congratulations and thanks a lot to all who make this forum possible. Greetings from México... I'll go into hypersleep and wake up to June :)

Hello everybody! Great to know that there are so many of us out there that are crazy about Ridley Scott's work.I for one cannot wait till opening night for the film and will probably camp out a couple of days before the show hits. I am a collector and cannot wait for the NECO products that will be available.In a nut shell this is what I think the movie will be about(My Opinion). We try to terra-form a planet,find evil bio-mech creatures highly advanced with a passion for Earth's natural resources and Human DNA.My favorite character is "Dallas" and all I can say is this is this film may change Sci-fi movies forever like "ALIEN" did.Anyway Goodnight Nostromo wherever your pieces are from Central Texas!

Hi everyone! Ive been reading and writing to this forum since september i think, and I love this community and excitement that we share. And I hope it continues on even after THE MOVIE is released :) Must have been 9 or 10 when i saw Alien first, and its the greatest movie for me too. The other one on par with that is Contact. Im Hungarian guy, living in New York. Peace to all ;)

Hello everyone, I am CAVX. Pretty excited to learn (hopefully) answers to many questions raised since 1979. The original ALIEN is IMO still one of the best Sci-Fi/Horror films ever made and I am so glad R. Scott is charge of this project.

Greetings from Colombia!! I'm staring to feel a bit obsessed about this movie, hope is worth it. To be honest I don't like to read about what the movie is gonna be, it may ruin the movie for me, but i just can't help it. Anyway, thanks for this amazing site!!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here since xmas so thought it was time that I got involved! Stating the obvious here, but the sooner that June comes the better!

Hello everyone! I have seen and love every Alien film. When I found out that there would be Prequel I was so excited, so when the new trailer came out I almost died in happiness! So I joined here to find out more awesome news about Prometheus. Look's like it's going to be a great movie!

Looking forward to this movie and since the 80's haven't been since. I'm sorta an undercover Sci-Fi geek, always drawing futuristic machines and such when I was young, not so much now.

Hi everyone! Thanks for this website and forum: they are like alien-wonderland to me.
