There's a whole youth subculture here in Singapore that's obssesed with the whole biomechnical aesthetic. 2-feet high life-like Alien dolls, hr giger posters and paintings, the works.

I'm surprised a the votes for 'Alien vs Predator' - we had to stop watching after forty five minutes of derisive laughter and tutting! What qualities did we miss, if any? Or are the AvP votes a cheeky bit of fun?

I doubt you missed anything. Maybe its appeal lies in the cheesy action horror cliches. Like something Udo Kier would act in.

****************AvP spoilers*****************

So anyone who sees the preview knows they all get trapped in a tomb led by an over zealous explorer. The aliens breed through these folks. In this Tomb, the aliens and predators fight each other...I guess the predators like the challenge. The lead girl is eventually the only one left (or at least the only one that is still featured in the action). She either saves the life of a predator or just flat out kills an alien (either way she kills an alien) and the predator gives her some kind of marking (on the face I believe with the red-hot claw) that they use to denote kills...some kind of hunter thing. Then the two go on a hunt and kill aliens. The one predator dies I think, then a whole shitlod of predators show up but they see the mark and leave the woman alone. All hell breaks loose, but she escapes and the place is destroyed. They may not be accurate, but even it it is, it's not a good movie. It's total cheese.

I really liked alien ressurectgion. it went into some severely warped sci-fi territory, with time lapsing, cloning, the idea of consciousness embedded, the whole thing was kick ass.

Seeing that you're obviously the biggest admirer of H. R. on the board, I was wondering if you know about this piece Giger made.




 


An artist that I'm aquainted with in Austria, is the creator of "State of Sabotage", a micro nation.
He got H.R. to commission this artwork to the state.

You can find more photo's on his site: www.sabotage.at
