Due to licensing issues with Sigourney Weaver’s likeness rights, we were unable to use Weaver’s portrait for Ripley in the Power Loader Diorama. This was, of course, disappointing to us, but we feel we managed to create a youthful portrait that best captures the facial emotion of the female lead battling the universe’s top adversary, the Queen Alien. The real star of this project, however, is the Power Loader itself. The proximity display scene that the loader and Queen Alien create is the statement of machine VS biological menace, a titanic battle that is ongoing and extremely relevant. This struggle is one that is ever-present and will continue to be so, and these two dioramas together really capture that clash. We’re really proud of this composition and all the hard work done literally by a host of developers from all points on the globe, and we think that collectors will really appreciate the dynamic interaction of these two dioramas.

This is me with Sigourney Weaver. You know, you take nice photos for everyone, but you give one guy your camera, set it up for fool-proofness, and BOOSH. Nothing. /sigh
Hold it back!

What's not to adore about Kathy Acker? I was watching Sigourney in one of those ALIENS movies the other night and I realized how much she reminded me physically of Acker. This is the Portrait of an Eye book with 3 fantastic novels in it. Unfortunately, it is also a portrait of a hair. Because I saw that over at the right later. Oh well, That's life too. Some of you probably have laser eyes to see every particle of dust in a photo anyway. Like the distempered areas of color in the paint here.
This is the time for a flamethrower.

Review of the fascination 1977 French documentary by Barbet Schroeder on Koko, the world famous gorilla that learned to use sign language.
A few years back I used to be more involved with film. I did some unpaid work for Empire when interning at FHM (basically Bauer didn't really want to give me any money). This did however open doors later down the road for more film writing work and the odd bit of paid coverage in other publications. Anyway, I still try to keep myself at least a little involved in that world, so when the people behind Pop Up Screens / Science Flicktion got in touch, I said yes please!
In a nutshell - these are film screenings with both a scientist and comedian providing commentary. The scientist helps viewers explore the science (no matter how tenuous) behind the film in more detail, whilst the comedian carpet bombs the proceeding with lulz and stops shit getting too serious.
This screening was for Ridley Scott's Alien, one of my favourite sci-fi franchises. The scientist in attendance was Adam Rutherford (black jacket, no beard) - a real swell guy, host of BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science, author of a book called ‘Creation’ - y’know... guy knows stuff. The comedian? Richard Sandling (black jacket, strong beard). He’s a comedian who seems to have carved a niche out in jokes about films (though I assume he has non movie related material too). He was also on Peep Show at some point and won So You Think You’re Funny in 2007. They both seemed nice enough.
In some ways, Alien shows its age - it was quite obvious that the Xenomorph is basically a guy in a (albeit very fancy) rubber suit. The film is still fkn awesome though - never gets old!
Well, that's one way to do it.
