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?

MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Okay guys...
Without the use of IMDB...
What was Ridley Scott's first film?
Secondly, what artist heavily influenced Scott when he was doing the story boards for Alien?
Who gets this, gets to ask Two questions, double the points....

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011that's too easy for me man... but I'm a sick puppy when it comes to the Franchise...
I'm disqualifying myself to give someone else a chance to answer it.

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011hahaha, yeah, it is an easy one....I had a brain fart and could think of a hard one...lol

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011With regard to the movie part of it...
do you mind if I post a pic from the film in the question?
I'll make sure it's hard to guess from it but it'll have enough to make it possible for someone.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011I'm just posting it anyways, I waited but you must have left or are busy so here goes...I don't see anyone else here trying to solve it so what the heck...eventually it may help someone get it. Forgive me.

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Ah thanks bud! I try! lol...
Wow, this was an easy one if anyone watched the Documentary on the Alien set....
Hint: Heavy Metal....

Tattooedkoi
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Sorry for falling asleep at the con last night...perhaps I can get it back. Scott's first film was Boy and Bicycle...first BIG film was The Duellists. I think I read somewhere that Jean Giraud was a huge influence on Scott's storyboards. What did I win????

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011BOOYAH !!!
We would have accepted either film, the pic is from the Duellists.
I believe that first one is a well kept secret, lol.
YOU... have the con, sir!

MemberOvomorph12/2/2011in the later rounds if you stump everyone it should be worth a point if we all agree. wow, no ones even done that yet, but Cain1977 came close there...whew, out of the blue we have a massive lead change...hehehehehe....

Mr.J
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011I believe is Mobius that influenced Scott for his storyboards for Alien...I mat be wrong on this but that was the answer I had in mind but good job nailing it!

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/2/2011do we have a next question?
If Not I'm gonna post one soon I think, I got the Jones.

MemberOvomorph12/2/2011Hmm I think I make a voluntary move here to intercept with my own question :)

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/3/2011In which film do you mean...Alien ?....Blade Runner...?...
I assume you mean Alien...
Deciding that the creature would be scarier the closer it appeared to a human, Scott decided that a single, very tall, very thin man be used.
Scott was inspired by a photograph of Leni Riefenstahl standing next to a 6'4" (1.94 m) Nubian.
The casting director found 7'2" (2.18 m), rail-thin graphic designer Bolaji Badejo in a local pub.
Badejo went to tai chi and mime classes to learn how to slow down his movements.
The Secret to this question is...
He Beat Out a guy name Peter Mayhew Now residing in Texas, this former resident of Yorkshire, England, was working as a hospital attendant at the King's College Hospital in London when film producer Charles H. Schneer saw his photo, literally standing above the crowd around him.
I believe I now have the con....lol.

1n 1983-84 James Cameron was given a choice to make either the sequel to "Alien"..."Aliens"...or what other movie project?

Thadus 12
MemberOvomorph12/3/2011Tough question Spartacus! ha ha
I know he did the screenplay for Rambo,so thats my guess

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/3/2011sorry man, but in a way, a really really remote way, you are quite close.
Let me put it to you like this,
You are right that the FILMS main feature, focus, is One Man.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph12/3/2011ya know what, YOUR GONNA LOVE THIS.
We have to give you the point anyways because whether you meant to or not you said the answer in your answer all the same.
The Film,

SPARTACUS.
Cameron was asked to choose between a remake of "Spartacus" and a follow up to Alien.
LMAO
