"I admire its purity. A survivor ... unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality."
('Alien' by NECA)
"Well, it's an interesting combination of elements making him a ... tough little son-of-a-bitch."
"And you let him in."

Ash: Ripley, for God's sake, this is the first time that we've encountered a species like this. It has to go back. All sorts of tests have to be made.
Ripley: Ash, are you kidding? This thing bled acid. Who knows what it's gonna do when it's dead?
Ash: I think it's safe to assume it isn't a zombie.
Alien (1979)
Ripley: Final report of the commercial starship Nostromo, third officer reporting. The other members of the crew - Kane, Lambert, Parker, Brett, Ash, and Captain Dallas - are dead. Cargo and ship destroyed. I should reach the frontier in about six weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
[to Jonesy the cat]
Ripley: Come on, cat.

"This son of a bitch is huge ! I mean, it's like a man; it's ... it's big !"

This red version of the diabolical Xenomorph comes from the 1993 comic, "Aliens: Genocide."
With the rising demand for Alien Royal Jelly, the Grant Corporation must journey to the Star Beast's planet. Here, they upset the natural order by eliminating the Alien Queen and causing a civil war.
Lego version designed and built by yours truly.
From the much maligned Alien 3, here is my Lego version of the Dragon and Ellen Ripley.
The execution may not have been the best but I have always thought this movie the perfect ending to my favorite film franchise. I mean the balls they had to kill off their main character in the manner they did. Forgotten on a forsaken planet, surrounded by strangers. This is pure myth. The hero excepting their fate and committing the ultimate sacrifice.
This build utilizes custom parts from Brickforge and Citizenbrick.
Chibi USS Sulaco from the movie "Aliens", with its Ripley (grrr).
Built for the Chibi Micro Contest.
This Time It's War...
"Get away from her, you bitch!"
Built for NCLUG's April 2024 MOC challenge, where the theme was "Hollywood Habitats": You had to build a minifigure habitat, based on a scene from a movie or show. Aliens is full of iconic moments, and the final showdown between Ellen Ripley and the Xenomorph Queen is one of my favorites. I thought re-creating Ripley blowing the queen out of the airlock would make for a fun twist on the habitat formula, where instead of the bottom of the habitat being the ground it's actually the side wall of the airlock.
WHY was Sigourney Weaver out working the phones and the streets on Election Day? Find out by listening HERE:
The Ripley action figure you've all been waiting for.
For now she's borrowing one of the marine's rifles since I'm reworking her included weapon a little bit.
Searching for Newt.
Replaced the weapon strap today with a new one that is far more functional and probably more durable.
"You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? The perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility."
Forever imitated but never matched, I present the original star-beast in Lego form. Flanked by warrant officer Ellen Ripley and Jones the cat.
I'll have to revisit this Alien build in the future. Not the happiest with it. Let's consider this version 1.0

American actress Sigourney Weaver (1949) rose to international fame with her role as Ellen Ripley in the Alien saga. After her breakthrough in the Science Fiction blockbuster Alien (1979), she became one of Hollywood's major female stars during the 1980s and 1990s. Weaver often plays strong, independent, and driven women. She was nominated for an Oscar for Aliens (1987), Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988) and Working Girl (1988), and her tour-de-force performance in the Broadway play 'Hurlyburly' (1984) earned her a Tony Award nomination. Weaver has actually won more than ten film awards, including two Golden Globes and a BAFTA Award.
Susan Alexandra 'Sigourney' Weaver was born in New York, in 1949. Weaver is the daughter of television producer and president of NBC Pat Weaver and British actress Elizabeth Inglis. She changed her name to 'Sigourney' at the age of 14, after a character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's book 'The Great Gatsby'. She graduated from Stanford and Yale, in the same class as Meryl Streep. In the 1970s, she acted in experimental and classical plays, including those by her former classmate Christopher Durang. Because of her height (she is 1.82 metres), she was often ignored by most producers and directors. In 1976, Weaver got a role in the soap opera Somerset. The following year, she made her film debut: she appeared for six seconds in Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977). However, it made many people sit up and take notice. She had her first starring role in Madman (Dan Cohen, 1978) starring Michael Beck. Her breakthrough followed in Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). The part of Ellen Ripley became her most famous role and made Weaver one of the greatest actresses of the moment. She continued her career with drama films such as Eyewitness (Peter Yates, 1981) and The Year of Living Dangerously (Pewter Weir, 1982), with Mel Gibson. In 1984, she played her first comic role as Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters (Ivan Reitman, 1984). In 1986, the first sequel to Alien was released. In Aliens (James Cameron, 1986), Weaver portrayed Ripley as an intelligent, powerful woman. The film was an even greater commercial success than the original and she was rewarded for her role with her first Oscar nomination. She was also nominated for an Oscar for her roles as the animal rights activist and zoologist Dian Fossey in Gorillas in the Mist (Michael Apted, 1988) and her delicious performance as a double-crossing, power-hungry corporate executive in the comedy Working Girl (Mike Nichols, 1988). She missed out on the award all three times but did receive Golden Globes for the latter two films.
Sigourney Weaver reprised the role of Dana Barrett in the sequel Ghostbusters II (Ivan Reitman, 1989) and played Rebecca Gorin in the reboot Ghostbusters (Paul Feig, 2016). Weaver also reprised the role of Ellen Ripley in the films Alien³ (David Fincher, 1992) and Alien: Resurrection (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 1997) with Winona Ryder, as well as in the game Alien: Isolation (2014), the latter of which marks the actress' return 17 years after her last appearance in the franchise. Weaver collaborated with Ridley Scott again, appearing as Queen Isabella in 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) and appeared in the Roman Polanski–directed Death and the Maiden, in a major role opposite Ben Kingsley. For her role in The Ice Storm (Ang Lee, 1997), she received her fourth Golden Globe nomination and won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actress. In 1999, she co-starred in the hilarious Science Fiction comedy Galaxy Quest (Dean Parisot, 1999) with Tim Allen and Alan Rickman. Then followed a decade in which she continued to appear in films but also had multiple voice roles in animated films, including The Tale of Despereaux (Sam Fell, Rob Stevenhagen, 2008) and the Pixar films WALL-E (Andrew Stanton, 2008) and Finding Dory (Andrew Stanton, 2016). She also worked in several documentaries, such as the BBC series Planet Earth (2006) and The Beatles: Eight Days a Week (2016). During the 2010s, she made a major comeback in the cinema with supporting roles in the blockbuster Avatar (2009), which marked her reunion with James Cameron, and in the historical blockbuster Exodus: Gods and Kings (Ridley Scott, 2014), starring Christian Bale, for which she reunited with Ridley Scott. She made a lasting return with the Sci-Fi thriller Chappie (Neill Blomkamp, 2015), the fantasy film A Monster Calls (Juan Antonio Bayona, 2016), and the TV mini-series The Defenders (2017). Last year, she returned as Dana Barrett in Ghostbusters: Afterlife (Jason Reitman, 2021). Sigourney Weaver married director Jim Simpson in 1984, with whom she had a daughter in April 1990.

I know a lot of you guys out there, especially me, miss The Great Movie Ride. It's been an attraction that I have never missed, except for maybe one time and It just happened to be the time it was refurbished. Needless to say, I had to wait a whole year to see it, but thankfully it was just the movie parts of the ride, so I didn't miss much. How bad do you miss this ride? Have a magical day!

"Why did you build me to die maker?"
"I didn't. I built you to live."
Neill Blomkamp's third film, "Chappie," fused his stock dystopian world with South African rap group Die Antwoord. I've fancied their unique sound for awhile now.
From left to right:
Yolandi Visser - Maternal Gangsta.
Ninja - Daddy Hoodlum
Chappie - Former police A.I., now surrogate thug.
Lego versions feature custom parts from Brickarms, Brick Forge, Minifig.cat and Citizen Brick.

I'll try to post some BTS shots of my backdrops this week before returning to my Doctor Who series.
