Sir John Hurt, who starred in Alien, Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Snowpiercer, and more, passed away on Friday at the age of 77.

You remember the Pigs in Space ("Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace") segment on The Muppet Show, right? Well, apparently it's back, at least in web short form.

You know what's even more fun than finding out your friends' favorite movies? Looking at data! Of course.

Harry Potter actors got Sorted into Hogwarts Pottermore-style, and their results just might surprise you. (Matthew Lewis' reaction to learning his House was especially amusing.)

Apparently a pretty hefty spoiler hit the internet that revealed Katherine Waterston's role and its (again, seriously, spoiler) connection to the original Alien movies.

We've been talking about Alien a lot today. But one of the coolest things about today is all of the companies that have released their own versions of Alien posters.

Reebok sent us an update about the lack of smaller sizes available for the "Alien Stompers" shoe, based on the sneakers that Ellen Ripley wore in Aliens. The whole situation still seems a bit fishy to us, though.

Every Ripley cosplayer knows the hardest part of the costume to perfect: the sneakers. In Aliens, Sigourney Weaver wore a fantastic pair of shin-high red and white Reeboks, but Reebok doesn't make them anymore ... until today!

Today is the galaxy's inaugural Alien Day, and sure, I guess I could be cynical about that—it is just using nostalgia to get us invested in a 24-hour advertisement for Alien: Covenant, right?—but I'm excited.

On April 26th (designated "Alien Day" by the powers that be), Alien fans will be able to listen to a brand-new Alien story over on Audible.

Lights up on BB-8, wandering through a crowded space station, deep in the heart of an unknown galaxy. Surrounded by mysterious and unfamiliar life forms, she remains steadfast. She has one tool in her arsenal: a thumbs-up of self-confidence.

Star Wars isn't the only franchise from years past riding the sequel train. Ridley Scott has said that his Prometheus sequel/Alien prequel, Alien: Covenant, is just the first of three movies that will lead up to Alien's story. If aliens aren't quite your speed, we're also getting more mogwai, and the star of the original Gremlins says it'll be a proper sequel.

Our heroine is aboard a massive spaceship that feels more like a haunted house than a piece of sci-fi technology. She’s independent and cool-headed. Her character has an agency that shows she isn’t there in service of the male characters, if anything, they end up just being background players for her. She isn’t overtly sexualized, and she isn’t there to please others. She can take on any evil that gets thrown at her. To put it simply, she’s a total BAMF.

Michael Biehn (who you may know better as Cpl. Hicks) chatted about how Alien 5 is still happening despite Ridley Scott's commitment to Alien: Covenant.

It's really hard being an attractive cat in Tinseltown! No one wants to hear your opinions, thinks you're smart, or wants you to trade on anything other than your cute looks. Gizmo, the star of the upcoming webseries, Typecatting, totally gets it. Check out the trailer above.

Halloween Express decided to see what horror movies are the most popular in different parts of the United States, and now we can psychoanalyze different regions until we're all uncomfortable!

The news of Sigourney Weaver's upcoming appearance in Ghostbusters inspired us to reflect back on her impressive roles in sci-fi cinema, which eventually earned her "The Queen of Sci-Fi" as a nickname.
