"There are some places in the universe you don't go alone".
When Ripley is debriefed by her employers at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation over the destruction of the Nostromo in James Cameron’s pitch perfect 1986 sequel Aliens, a vital blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment occurs. The inhumane capitalist firm is skeptical of Ripley’s claims that an Alien killed the ship’s entire crew in the previous film. As they sarcastically dismiss her, short biographies of each of the deceased flash up on a computer screen. Lambert’s bio reads: “Despite conversion at birth from male to female, so far there are no signs of suppressed trauma from gender reassignment.”
Several weeks back, Colin Marshall told you about an enterprising group of high school students in North Bergen, New Jersey who staged a dramatic production of Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien. And they did it on the cheap, creating costumes and props with donated and recycled materials. The production was praised by Ridley Scott and Sigourney Weaver alike. Now, above, you can watch a complete encore performance made possible by a $5,000 donation by Scott, and attended by Weaver herself. Have fun.
