Ross Burt took it upon himself to give a new, coherent design style to the posters of the first three Alien films, and we’re just going to sit back and enjoy it. (And we certainly don’t mind some of his other Aliens art either.

We don’t have any better ideas than you on this one, I’m afraid. And if you’re not familiar with the original scene, throw some headphones on. It’s NSFW for language.

More women to be exact. Though we are fans of the fellas from Blade Runner, The Thing, and more. Take a look at how French artist Guillaume Singelin interpreted some of our favorite sci-fi characters from the 80s. But yes, more all around please, these are cool.

Yesterday morning we shared a single photo of an awesome dad who built a power loader costume complete with a tiny Ripley, played, of course, by his own daughter. Yesterday afternoon, we received an email with a link to this video and a special message:
I check in with your site every day, and I was totally excited to see you posted the photo of my baby’s Alien Loader Halloween Costume! …I really appreciate all you do for girl geek culture. I secretly hope my daughter will grow up a proud girl geek of the type you promote every day.
And after that, of course we had to show it to you guys. Here’s a dad and his proud geek girl off to a very good start. (P.S., viewers, make sure you stay until the :37 mark.)

Redditor rdt156 snapped this picture of his buddy’s Halloween costume, which was put together in three days. I bet the baby’s costume took even longer! According to rdt156, “She was super content. Loved all the attention and didn’t make a peep. When it was baby bedtime, mom took her home and he swapped her out for a stuffed monkey.”

No, that’s not a picture of actress Sigourney Weaver. That’s a sculpture of her Alien character, Ellen Ripley. Steve Scotts Sculpting Studios created it and good lord is it impressive. Check out the evolution from the original sculpt, to a bald, very Alien 3-esque Ripley, to the finished product.

Science-fiction is fun, but poking fun at science-fiction can also be fun. Just look at Spaceballs! Well one Salt Lake City performance group has taken it up a notch. Meat & Potato Theater have created Aliens (The Puppet Musical). It’s completely out of this world.

Back in 1982, Ridley Scott directed a film based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? called Blade Runner. It went on to become one of the most highly regarded sci-fi films ever. The story took place in 2019 which obviously meant it was time for Hollywood to revisit the idea. Scott has finally announced that his new Blade Runner film will not be a remake, but a sequel, the original screenwriter is involved, and he’ll be putting a woman in Deckard’s shoes this time around. Hit the jump for details!

Now that March is nearly upon us — less than 24 hours away, actually — it’s obvious that many of us are excited about The Hunger Games coming to theaters in just about three weeks. But one of the major elements of Suzanne Collins’ trilogy is how exceptionally ordinary the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, is. She’s just a normal girl, thrown into a horrible situation, and then she handles the crap out of it. She sends a message that fantastical superpowers aren’t all that necessary if there is a battle afoot. Even an epically huge, life-or-death battle that concerns the welfare of a country, a planet, or even a universe.
This week, we’re talking about Katniss’ predecessors — superheroines of geekdom who don’t wear costumes, nor do they have superpowers. Some of them might be barely educated or inexperienced, some of them are wildly smart. But what they all have in common is that if you have them on your team in a fight, you will win. Hands down.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.
Susana Polo
In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
