Aliens People who are trying way too hard will tell you that the aliens have been coming for us since the days of prehistory, citing the existence of the pyramids, pictures of rockets in Mayan hieroglyphics, obscure biblical passages in which angels spawn freakish giant children with the daughters of men. There are scattered reports of alien sightings from the 1950s, which surely are only coincidentally timed to the first appearance of horrific alien creatures in Hollywood movies and the arrival of Martians in the War of the Worlds hoax. Alien noise reached a near fever pitch a couple decades back, thanks to a series of developments, some of which require quote marks and others which must be italicized. www.rotten.com /library/cryptozoology/aliens   (2659 words)

Alien (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As the alien has used the air-shafts to move about the ship, the crew proceed to cover every air-shaft vent and seal every bulkhead behind them, while Dallas enters the air-shafts with a flamethrower, intending to drive his prey into the airlock and to blow it into space. An altar-like structure houses the alien embryo-eggs, and a hieroglyph depicts the alien's lifecycle. An urban legend is that Sigourney Weaver keeps one of the alien "egg" props in her house. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alien_(film)   (4680 words)

AboutFilm.Com - Alien (1979) Alien shows inklings of the dark cyberpunk vision of the future (popularized in the 1980s and 90s) that director Ridley Scott would go on to realize more fully in Blade Runner three years later. Indeed, the alien is an impressive piece of machinery—from its metallic color, to the corrosive acid running through its veins, to its multiple sets of powerful jaws. Alien is more nerve-wrackingly terrifying than any of its sequels, and Scott did it with only one creature and inferior special effects. www.aboutfilm.com /movies/a/alien.htm   (501 words)

Alien - The Alien (Xenomorph) Eggs are initially created inside a queen alien and enter the world (after being queued in her extended abdomen) via slimey tube to stand on their own (indicating that there is a definite "up" side and "down" side to the egg). ALIEN3 alien - This alien is different than the previous ones we've seen; it tends to move around on all fours at times and ensures that the unborn queen alien is kept safe. It's possible that the aliens copy some of their host's DNA in order to help them adapt to the new environement that they'll be born to (this concept was in an old draft of the script for ALIEN), so this alien would be different because it came from a dog. members.iinet.net.au /~jaherne/alienhost/xenomorph/index.html   (2250 words)

alien abductions The rise in UFO sightings is due to the increase in alien activity on Earth. The aliens are abducting people in larger numbers, are leaving other signs of their presence in the form of so-called crop circles, are involved in cattle mutilation, and occasionally provide revelations such as the Urantia Book to selected prophets. Another contributor to the mythology of alien abductions is Robert Bigelow, a wealthy Las Vegas businessman who likes to use his money to support paranormal research (see entry on Charles Tart) and who partially financed a Roper survey on alien abductions. skepdic.com /aliens.html   (4402 words)

Alien - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia Some Aliens, particularly the ones involved in most UFO sightings and abductions, are actually genetically mutated possums that are a failed experiment by the CIA bent on world domination. Aliens were dismissed as fables, although not the kind you can learn from like those of Aesop. All alien sightings were dismissed as lies, all who claimed to have been abducted by aliens were viciously beaten by the government and forsaken by their families, and any and all cattle mutilated by aliens were scorned and left outside the city gates, rebuked by their community as commanded in the Bible. uncyclopedia.org /wiki/Alien   (2372 words)

Bug Eyed Monster - Kenner 18 Inch Alien When the toy was first on shelves, it had a lot going against it, including the fact that the movie was rated R. Parents also thought the toy to frightening or ugly for children, and since the children weren't that aware of the movie, their demand was low. The translucent dome that covers the alien head is often lost, which has led to a none too small market in replacement domes. Not usually found with a loose Alien, this is the instruction sheet that came with it, documenting the jaw opening lever, the glow in the dark brain case, and the limited poseability of the alien's wrists and tail. www.bugeyedmonster.com /toys/alien   (369 words)

Alien :: rogerebert.com :: Great Movies After she sees what it can do, her response to "Special Order 24" ("Return alien lifeform, all other priorities rescinded") is succinct: "How do we kill it?" Her implacable hatred for the alien is the common thread running through all three "Alien" sequels, which have gradually descended in quality but retained their motivating obsession. "Alien" uses a tricky device to keep the alien fresh throughout the movie: It evolves the nature and appearance of the creature, so we never know quite what it looks like or what it can do. One of the reasons she works so well in the role is that she comes across as smart; the 1979 "Alien" is a much more cerebral movie than its sequels, with the characters (and the audience) genuinely engaged in curiosity about this weirdest of lifeforms. rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20031026/REVIEWS08/310260301/1023   (1304 words)

Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis? (Skeptical Inquirer May 1998) The aliens' purpose in abducting Earthlings varies from benign warnings of impending ecological catastrophe to a vast alien breeding program, necessitating the removal of eggs and sperm from humans in order to produce half-alien, half-human creatures. I then read, slowly and clearly, a story called "Jackie and the Aliens," in which a girl is visited in bed at night by a strange alien who takes her into a spacecraft, examines her on a table, and brings her back unharmed to bed. For each person, an "alien score" from 0 to 6 was given for the number of "correct" answers to the questions about the alien (that is, answers that conformed to the popular stereotype), and another score for the number of Roper Poll indicator experiences reported (0-4). www.csicop.org /si/9805/abduction.html   (3757 words)

OAFE - Aoshima Alien The centerpiece of the exhibit was a 15-foot Alien Queen prop facing off against the robot-like Power Loader from Aliens (both are now on display at the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle). Though it's hard to tell without a screen-to-figure comparison, the McFarlane Alien figure is quite stylized (and here I refer to the figure from the two-pack, as well as the resculpted "Warrior Alien" from the recent "Alien and Predator" refresh line). I have a few things to add to this: the Alien itself is too slender, and most significantly, the "tubes" that run over the shoulder are much too small. www.oafe.net /poe/alien.php   (1271 words)

Alien (1979) The alien intelligently chose to use the bodies of its victims as hosts for its eggs. The struggle to survive in the vacuum of space against the uninvited, primal and deadly creature intensifies for the crew members of a grimy, commercial space freighter as they are eliminated one-by-one through corporate machinations. The promotional poster for the film illustrated a cracked alien egg, with an eerie yellow glow at its lower end in a dark void of space, as it hovers over the latticework of the egg chamber. www.filmsite.org /alie.html   (3162 words)

ALIEN Science fiction is a handy genre: it is possible for people who doesn't really know much about it to transpose another genre (western, horror, detective) unto it, look cool in the process and make a bundle at the box office. But the plot device in the first Alien movie is one that has been done the year before by Jamie Lee Curtis in Carpenter's Halloween horror movie and every subsequent slasher movie from Friday the 13th to Nightmare on Elm Street. Add to this stunning special effects and an alien brought to life by special effects wiz Carlos Rambaldi (who later designed E.T. brooding music by Jerry Goldsmith (Oscar winner for The Omen) and it is not difficult to see why the movie has achieved both the cult status and box office success it did. www.scifimoviepage.com /alien.html   (609 words)
