"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)
Quote:Originally posted by cljohnston108: Hard to believe it's been 30 years since I defied my stepmother's edict, and went with my Dad to see A L I E N! He was a set designer for TV, and we were both in total awe of Ron Cobb's Nostromo designs and HR Giger's designs for everything else. They even had bits of the sets on display at the Egyptian theatre in Hollywood: We walked past a patch of eggs out near the street, through the corridor into MU-TH-R's interface chamber, then out to face... the Space Jockey! I consider myself very lucky that I got to see it before some religious zealots flicked a match on it ('cause they thought it was the work of the Devil!). This movie and Blade Runner were like religious experiences for my Dad, and we were constantly talking about the design work. I've watched it at least 20 times since then, and several more when I bought the Director's Cut DVD a few weeks ago, but I think I'm gonna fire it up one more time today, just to mark the occasion. What say you all?
