Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
hello fellow alien fan... would you be at all interested in exchanging thoughts about this iconic film franchise? need to talk about it fr
Hello there! Thanks for reaching out. I have way too many thoughts about the franchise but feel free to DM me if you have specific questions as well.
It’s def my favorite franchise and the first film is tied at my first favorite movie (tied with Carol [2015]).
Ripley is obviously my favorite character but I adore every character in the original.
Love Aliens a lot and I have a soft spot for Alien 3 a lot.
I own the original three on VHS cause why not, I do a lot of artwork based on it, have WAY too much merch from it, have a tattoo from it, own the soundtrack as well, and just convinced my orchestra director to let us do the main theme from the first movie this spring for our concert! So yeah, you could say I understand your obsession.
My Alien Franchise hot take is that Clemens and Ripley (Alien 3) are a better couple than Hicks and Ripley (Aliens).
I’ve played the video game, of course, and it’s what helped me and my girlfriend really bond when we first met at music camp. She’s bought me way too many things from Alien, even making me an anniversary card with a Xenomorph drawing on the front!
I’m in love with Ellen Ripley and my crush on Sigourney Weaver is what first turned me onto the franchise so thanks, Siggy!
Anyways, I rambled but you asked for it! Let me know if you have any thoughts or other questions, I love talking about this topic!
Here are some of my alien franchise shenanigans
Saw Alien in theaters for Sigourney’s bday.
The stars on the venue’s ceilings are perfect for the film!
This was my favorite time seeing Alien in theaters for sure.
You're welcome.
POV: you’re travelling through the Atlanta airport and you’re hella creeped out cause it reminds you a little TOO much of Sevastopol Station…
And then the announcement on your plane train says “next stop is all D gates. D for David”. WHY DAVID?!?! THE ANDROID DAVID????
Anyways, yes, I have jet lag
Matching Nostromo Patch Bracelets.
This is how you know you’ve found the right girl.
Keep in mind I am not a graphic designer (obviously).
I also did this with the mindset of an evil company man working for WY; clearly leaving out major information and concerning details in the ads.
Happy 45th Anniversary, Alien!
Here’s some photos of the cast of the 1979 film at a party on set!
Had to see Alien right before it went out of theaters for the second time in a week :)
An even bigger screen. Might have cried at the end.
Here are some different vintage Alien posters from around the world! Which one’s your favorite?
This is the best news I've gotten in like 6 months. I'm buying tickets right now.
