April 26th somewhere along the line became Alien Day, a celebration of Ripley, Weyland Yutani, and the Xenomorphs who love them.  First released in 1979, the groundbreaking space horror film directed by Sir Ridley Scott blew the airlock doors off what a female lead could do and be in such a movie.

Anytime Sir Ridley Scott gives an interview, it seems to be peppered with nuggets of perplexing gold.  There was the Alien should be bigger than Star Wars and Star Trek line, the "I'm too dangerous for Star Wars" why he wouldn't direct one line, and the "Blade Runner 2049 didn't do well because it was too f***ing long" line. In another chat with the[...]

Produced by[...]

Ridley Scott, widely known as the "bad boy" of science fiction movie direction, is far too much of a dangerous, sexy bad boy to direct a Star Wars flick Just ask him!

If you are a fan of special features and documentaries on your blu rays, may we suggest Alien: Covenant for your next purchase?  Sure, while the film didn't do so hot in theaters, the blu ray sort of picks up that slack. "What we've tried to do here, is really really scare the shit out of people," Sir[...]

He is also friends with Ridley Scott, director of Alien, Prometheus, and this summers Alien: Covenant So, in a recent Facebook live interview, some people will take what he had to say about the latter film on that list with a grain of salt: "I thought that Alien: Covenant was a great ride It was beautiful[...]

The announcement of a sequel came right around the release of Prometheus, and the project had been kicking around the ether for several years until it was jumpstarted by writers Hampton Francher (who also wrote the '82 screenplay)[...]

Happy Pride Month everyone! Yup, Chinese censors have removed what was, admittedly, a rather odd part from the recent new addition to the Alien saga, Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant.

 Sure, maybe his panache is different than it was 30+ years ago, but no one does space quite like Sir Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien).
