Hmmm...

I remember Ridley Scott said a while back that the idea of the Aliens on Earth doesn't really work, and I have to agree with him. That was a great problem with Alien Resurrection. His idea was to set the next story on the Alien homeworld, so that more could be revealed about the Aliens physigonomy, which I hink is the best idea.

I accept that Ripley has been a useful focal point for the series, but the characters changed so much from the first film that she is noe unrecognisable.

Did anyone else read the original William Gibson script for Alien 3? It hadproblems, but some great ideas, like the wodden planet inhabited by convicts turned monks.

Also, did anyone read the David Thompson book about the Alien films? He certainly has some crazy ideas about how he thinks Alien Resurrection should have been made! In fact I'd go so far as to say that the man has some serious psycho-sexual problems regarding the character of Ripley - he was never like this when he's writing about, say, Pat Garret and Billy the Kid! Still, it sounds a lot better than the film they did eventually make...  

I'm the Queen's Royal Monkey Strangler, and I occasionally overthrow foreign dictaotrships for Mark Thatcher and his buddies.

Well, you've got to do something to relax, haven't you?

Ah, but I wasn't even in to watch it!

Ha ha! I fooled you all!

All I ever saw was a few scant minutes of a preview tape, which was already enough to seriously damge my mind to the point of incurable insanity.

Or, alternatively, through the  tired seventies eyes of Brian DePalma.

I feel sick.

This is sick.

I think I'm going to be sick.

"That'll be why there's a six-page interview with the great man in 224, with a few lovely bits of rarely-seen newspaper art.

Oh, and the first of a two-part Dredd ..."

Yay!

I wonder if we'll see any of his Modesty Blaise artwork?

Burns is one of my favourite artists of all time. Anyone who disagrees with me, I just ask you to take a look at the flashback episode of the Bendatti Vendetta (last series), detailing the origin of the founder of the group, when he murers the Nazi concentration camp warden.

Fan-bloody-tastic!

So, I see from the latest edition of Rich Johnston's Lying in the Gutters column that Ian Edginton (he's a busy man) and Si Fraser (I thought he was working in Europe now?) are collaborating on an adaptation of the book by Richard Matheson.

Should be interesting. Just as long as it's better than previous adaptaions of Matheson books...

That's my kind of boat*baakkaaww*pieces of eight, pieces of eight...

Can I be the Cabin Boy?

or failing that, how about Ship's Parrot?

I'm working on it as we speak.

Anway, you can tell by the face that it's a bloke. All in all, I'm a little disturbed that you're so turned on by what is so clearly a tranny in a tiny dress, wig and too much lipstick. I mean, it looks like Lord Fanny out of The Invisibles, for god's sake!

I think you were just annoyed that I didn't give you the "man/woman" (as someone in Camden Town just referred to it) Chuque Billy picture.

Not like a proper comic.

And you liked the 'Erotic X-Men' one. Even though it had Gambit in it.

(Actually, it looks like my boss' daughter's one was the manga 'Lloyd-Webber-less Cats' adaptation, so that's alright then)

How do you know what Andy Diggle was doing when he was eight?

For all you know, the Muscly-Legged Woman of Chuque Billy could be his!

Anyway, you liked 'Weather', so I hardly think you're in a position to talk about people clearly ENTERING SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE FOR SCHOOL.

Damn your black heart, Wyatt!
One of those entires is by my bosses daughter (it turns out), and I have a sinking feeling that 'Snail' might be hers...

That's a very good idea. I've got a digital camera at home, so it is entirely possible to do.

Nice one Max!
