Question; can anyone tell me what the object in the picture is...?...
If so, and you do get it right, it will be "Your Turn" to ask everyone some kind of Science Fiction or related Movie question...
perhaps we can use media like pictures as well to spice it up for fun.
Anyways I am going first...what's that in the picture?

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011Here's an obscure one for y'all. What are we seeing in the picture (yes, its a bus)? Who manufactures it and how does it relate to the Alien franchise?

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011whats the secret to embedding a photo in a post?
OK, that's a bit better on the pic.

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph12/1/2011that url link but I am not really sure but it easy to post the url link that will take the person there...

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011to post a pic you need to first have the pic hosted somewhere like Photobucket.com so when you see one you like and want to use it later on in an email or on bulliten Boards you will need to first save it anywhere on your PC.
Next pic any free picture hosting service such as photobucket.com and create an account it takes 2 minutes.
Now when you upload that pic you saved on your PC you will be able to see the pic in Photobucket after it uploads and if you click on that pic it will call it up bigger if it can and also with several sets of code beside it.
Pick the one that says direct link and copy the code. {you can just click where it is and it will do it for you automatically}
Now in your post on the Board click on that picture icon and add/paste the code in there...be sure there is only one instance of the code [img} at the front and only one instance of the code[/img} at the end.
That's it your done.

MemberOvomorph12/1/2011I know the answer in the back of my head somewhere and it has to do with the company that Alien's "Wayland Yutani" was derived from, I have the info somewhere I think and am trying to dig it up.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/1/2011I found it...
The name "Weylan-Yutani"was created by Ron Cobb, one of the designers of the Nostromo and its crew's uniforms.
Weylan Yutani for instance is almost a joke, but not quite....
Here in his own words is how Mr. Cobb came up with it...
"I wanted to imply that poor old England is back on its feet and has united with the Japanese, who have taken over the building of spaceships the same way they have now with cars and supertankers. In coming up with a strange company name I thought of British Leyland and Toyota, but we couldn't use "Leyland-Toyota" in the film. Changing one letter gave me "Weylan," and "Yutani" was a Japanese neighbor of mine. "
British Leyland or otherwise Toyota must be the answer you were looking for.
One of those 2 companys made that Bus.
Great Question and I have wrestled Back Control of the board...

...and of course that's the hard part, I am not telling you which one...but it's the one in the pic above...and she had a major part in it...But as I was saying...she...
...originally auditioned for the part of "Ripley: in Alien... and Lost to Sigourney Weaver.
Who is she... and what did she do/what part did she play in what film instead?

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Ok... since you are not around I will keep it going...
Next Question:
In the picture Below we clearly see Newts Mother & Father.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/mommy.jpg[/img]
Her name {Newt's Mother} is only spoken ONCE in the entire film.
What is it?
What is her father's name?
What is the date of Newt's Death as recorded on Fiorina-161in Alien 3?
Good Luck!

Just seconds Before the shot above in "Alien", Cain examines that egg with his flashlight and says "wait a minute, there's movement".
How was the effect of that "Movement" he saw achieved?
& Who was the only person involved in creating it.

MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Scott used what was rubber washing gloves and he placed his hands in the bottom and fluttered them.
