BDSM Rubber Alien-Eggs for Sensory Deprivation
Großartig: Das Alien Ei als Sexspielzeug für die BDSM-Praktik des Sinnesentzugs. Ist mit 1300 Pfund nicht grade billig, aber man hat damit wahrscheinlich jede Menge Spaß. Facehugger not included.
This is our masterstroke of total Sensory Deprivation. This inflatable bondage ball in the shape of the infamous eggs from the Alien movie is the ultimate sensory deprivation experience. We have created a showpiece for people who take their pleasure and playtime seriously.
The Alien Egg is made from two ‘skins’ of rubber. The outer layer is made of thick 0.8 mm rubber whilst the inner layer is made of medium 0.5 mm rubber. Each skin can be made in different colour to give the Egg the maximum visual effect. It has a British Respiratory Gas Mask inside which has a double length corrugated tube going to the outside for breathing. It is inflated via a Schraeder valve or the rubber tube attached to the side that can be tied off in a slip knot so when the fun is over it can be deflated more easily.
The four full length zips quickly close the Alien Egg holding your entire body inside its rubber walls. When inflated, the Alien Egg restricts all movements from within and isolates you perfectly inside its shell.

How To make Alien Eggs
Kitchen Overlord erklärt, wie man mit in Tee gekochten Eiern und Salatgurken diese Alien-Eier macht. Und dazu serviert man dann gegrillten Chestburster aus Lende und Parmaschinken. Und gegessen wird all das natürlich mit Facehugger Chopsticks.
Share these alien eggs with your fellow crew members and the colonists of LV-426, which they have apparently decided to rename Acheron. Remember, if you see anything like this when scouting the best sites for the first colonial drop, do not approach. Summon one of the ship’s androids, as they can neither be infected nor spread disease to the innocent young of a new species.

Real Life Powerloader-Exoskeleton
Panasonic arbeitet an einem Powerloader Exoskelett, einem Real Life-Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader von Weyland Industries 2013:
This power amplification robot, called Power Loader, is currently under development by Activelink, a Panasonic subsidiary venture. The aim is to achieve a robot that can freely utilize power beyond human strength, in emergencies or on construction sites. Power Loader’s role is to link people with construction machinery.
“Power Loader receives the force input by a person through its force sensors, and amplifies it using motors. In this way, it assists the person, by producing a large force that the person can’t achieve alone. The concept we’ve used to develop Power Loader is, you get into it, rather than wearing it. Using this concept makes it safer to operate.”

Aliens Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader-Halloween Costume
Ich dachte ja, das mit dem besten Halloween-Kostüm 2012 hätte sich gestern mit dem Obama Hope-Poster bereits erledigt, dicht gefolgt von dem Evil Dead-Hütten-Hut, aber der Caterpillar P-5000 Work Loader aus Aliens mit Baby-Ripley darin dürfte in diesem Jahr so ziemlich alles schlagen. (via Coudal)

Facehugger Bong
Ich hab’ keine Ahnung, wer die gemacht hat, aber ich würde alleine dafür nochmal anfangen mit der Kifferei, um einmal an einem Facehugger zu saugen. AWESOME! (via Dangerous Minds)
Chestburster Plushie!
Vor drei Jahren gab’s ein Facehugger-Kuscheltier, jetzt die Plüschvariante vom Chestburster.
“Yes, Newt. Mommy was wrong. There really are monsters, and here’s one you can cuddle up with!”
Straight from your friends at Better Worlds Toys(TM), a division of the Weyland-Yutani corporation, comes the rebirth of a classic plush replica. That’s right, once more you can know the pleasure of owning your very own Aliens Chestburster without the parasitic infestation or the resulting xenomorphic carnage!

Making Of the Alien Queen
Sehr schönes Posting der Stan Winston School of Character Arts (Winston war Effekt-Mann für alle Terminators, The Thing, Aliens, Pumpkinhead und mein Guilty Pleasere Leviathan) über das Making Of der Alien-Queen mit jeder Menge Behind the Scenes-Shots, die ich bisher auch noch nicht kannte.
In ALIEN, “they’ve seen the eggs,” Cameron said, “they’ve seen the parasite that emerges from the eggs, they’ve seen the embryo laid by that parasite emerge from a host person, and they’ve seen the embryo grow up into a supposedly adult form. But that adult form — one of them, anyway — couldn’t possibly have laid the thousand or so eggs that filled the inside of the derelict ship. At least that was my theory. So working from that image — acres and acres of these quite large eggs — I began to focus on the idea of a hierarchical hive structure where the central figure is a giant queen whose role it is to further the species.”
Whereas Cameron had relied on stop-motion animation for wide ambulatory shots of his full-body endoskeleton in THE TERMINATOR, he intended to shoot his queen alien live and full- size, interacting with the actors as much as possible. “Jim had seen what we could do with puppets on Terminator,” Stan Winston observed, “and so it made perfect sense that he thought of puppeteering techniques when he needed a way to realize the alien queen. But, even so, it was a huge leap of faith to believe that we could build a fourteen-foot-tall, acting puppet.”
Boba Fett-Helmet remixed with Total Recall and Alien
Die Make A Wish Foundation hält grade einen Star Wars-Helm-Remix-Contest auf Facebook ab und auch wenn die Idee sowas von 2008 ist: Der Alien-Vader und der Total Recall Boba rocken ziemlich derbe. Hier alle Bilder in Alben auf Facebook, ein paar weitere Pics nach dem Klick. (via Superpunch)
Facehugger Corset
Ich halte Korsette generell für ein misogynes Überbleibsel aus aristokratischen Zeiten, wovon ich explizit medizinische Gründe und Fetische ausnehme. Aber das Facehugger-Korsett oben von Rage Costumes kann trotzdem einiges. (via Technabob)
Secret Cinemas Prometheus-Screening
Secret Cinema (deren Alien-Screening in Berlin ich damals besucht hatte und halb-begeistert war) haben in London eine Serie aufwändiger Prometheus-Screening veranstaltet, ich verfluche Fox für den Deutschlandstart im August und ich gehe nicht davon aus, dass Secret Cinema-Screenings zum Start des Films in Deutschland geplant sind (ich bin in der Mailingliste von SC und die hätten sich wenigstens schonmal kryptisch wegen irgendwas in Berlin oder sonstwo gemeldet), falls da was kommt, sage ich selbstredend Bescheid.
Most impressive of all was the warehouse’s transformation into a spaceship. Walls were painted white with maps of the ship’s emergency exits everywhere. Hypersleep chambers were laid out in the middle of the room. Loudspeakers droned the message, “Thank you for investing in a brighter future” on repeat. Labs with plants and biology experiments were around every other corner. The 195,000-square-foot space had been entirely changed, and we were given a couple of hours to roam the premises, order cocktails or eat at the space restaurant that was set up.
By the time a warning alarm sounded and the ship employees began ushering everyone into the three screening rooms, many were guessing the movie would be Prometheus. (It was.)

Creepy Alien-Testshoots with Bolaj Badejo without Xenomorph-Suit
Youtube Direktalien, via Daniel
Das Internet hat einen alten Alien-Testshot ausgegraben, indem Bolaj Badejo – der schlacksige schwarze Hühne, der das Alien spielte – ohne H.R. Gigers Xenomorph-Kostüm durch die Nostromo schleicht. Kannte ich auch noch nicht, den Clip. Außerdem hat das Alienseries-Blog ein altes Interview mit ihm aus Cinefantastique 1979, in dem er ein wenig von der Produktion des Foodporn-Klassikers erzählt und verrät, das Ridley Scott tausend weitere Ideen hatte, die nicht realisierbar waren und das Viech auch deshalb so wenig im Film zu sehen ist. Glück gehabt, der Film gewann dadurch 300% an Atmosphäre und wurde so zu dem Klassiker, der er heute ist.
HR Giger made the Alien suits worn by Bolaji and the stuntman out of latex, at a cost of more than $250,000. The suit consisted of some ten to fifteen separate pieces, worn over a one-piece black body suit, needed underneath to disguise the fact that the Alien fitted together in sections, and because you could see through parts of it, like the ribcage. The ribcage was put on like a sweater, over the head. The legs and hips were put on separately as sleeves, fitted over with gloves for the hands. The tail was attached separately and operated by a series of wires. Feet were worn like shoes. The head was placed on last. Bolaji likened wearing it to having your head stuck up the middle of a huge banana.
“The Nostromo set itself was only about 6’6 high. I’m 6’10, 7′ with the suit on. I had to be very careful how I spun around or did anything. It was terribly hot, especially the head. I could only have it on for about fifteen or twenty minutes at a time. When I took it off, my head would be soaked.”
