If you check out the Vinyl Pop range it shows you which character gets face hugged.

The Xenomorph ones look good, Not sure why it has blue veins all over it tho

maybe Walter White has been feeding Xeno's his blue meth.

I can't see the name that's facehugged. Who is it?

Oh, shit, this Prologue is awesome...

I'm assuming that's how the movie is going to begin?

I knew it. I knew David wasn't going to turn into some Psycho and kill Shaw or do twisted shit to her, like so many fan theories. But he has apparently learned something about the Engineers that has given him some sort of righteous indignation against them (and he's still maybe a little pissed off about Weyland being killed by the Engineer). I can't wait to see where this goes and I'll be more than a little annoyed if it's just a big cliffhanger for the next film which may or may not ever get made. But goddamn, I like where this is going...

The name's Oram on the figure.

I dunno about David being pissed off about Weyland...he does make the observation & comparison that Shaw showed him more compassion than Weyland ever did.

Ha.

What?

😂

Whoopsie Daisy.

So mutherfuc#ing psyched about this movie.

Watched Alien again last night. Alien is great, but I actually don't think it's a perfect film. Mainly because it's a little dated and there are actually at least one or two bad edits in it. But obviously it's amazing because of the production design and it started it all. The fact that almost 40 years later we get to see the same filmmaker do another film in the series just makes me glad to be alive in this day and age, haha..

The Alien series is a unique series to me because each film has its own individual flaws, but they are all still enjoyable and brilliant in their own way.

Indeed. Ridley Scott revisiting Alien with both Prometheus and now AC is pretty remarkable. He might've had a few misses in his long and illustrious career, but really he is one of the standouts of all-time. His are movies that I'll always try to see in theaters.

And as a fan of both the main Alien franchise and Prometheus as a sort-of prequel, I'm looking forward to Covenant as well.

First alien movie I saw at the cinema was AvP...I'm hoping alien covenant turns out better than that, I did see Prometheus at the cinema but that wasn't an alien film I guess, just set in the same universe

Two 'bad edits'..? In an entire film? That's what struck you? Amazing.

What were these 2 bad edits?

The main one I'm thinking of is when they are propping Ash's head up. They should have cut back to Ripley or something. It's a terrible edit.

Not back then it wasn't, they probably thought it was state of the art

It could have been done in the 30s. It would have been a simple edit. Technology had nothing to do with it.

Go back and watch that scene and you'll see what I mean.

I do think that is a matter of taste. Ridley went over that movie a couple of years ago.

Blomkamp film will not happen according to producer Ridley Scott...
