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?

MemberOvomorph02/15/2012Spaecjock now has the CON and can ask any question for however many points he wishes. The first to answer gets the points and steals "the con", if noone gets it for long enough he gets a point himself for the stumping and asks another one...the standings below are more just a record of who has been in this thread...the main thing is the FUN !

MemberOvomorph02/15/2012Well here it is, hope it wasntmentioned here before.
What was the conclusion of the event when Giger met Salvador Dali?
2 points for this :)

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012wow did everyone see this question...?... AWESOME question man...I am co-lating...hahahaha...great one spacejok

jujutsuka
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012H.R. Giger and Salvador Dali worked together on Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed attempt to bring Dune to the big screen. H.R. Giger was brought into the project because Dali mentioned him to Jodorowsky. Dan O'Bannon was also involved, in part thanks to his success with Dark Star. O'Bannon met Ronald Shusett while working on Dune, and the two later wrote the original story for Alien.
So in this confluence of events, Dan O'Bannon and H.R. Giger met. Had this not happened, it's doubtful Alien would ever have been produced, and literally none of us would be here on this board right now!
Incidentally, I learned all of this by reading a recent post on Den of Geek titled [url=http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1243533/the_fall_and_rise_of_alejandro_jodorowskys_dune.html]The fall and rise of Alejandro Jodorowsky's Dune[/url], by Ryan Lambie. A good read!

MemberOvomorph02/16/2012Nice one, even though the answer Im referring to is a bit different, you should get points for this. 2 points for You jones and 2 more points for the other answer Im aiming for. Its personal business between Dali and Giger..

the other part of the answer anyone?

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012Could it be that... Dali recommended that Giger do work for the film "Cowboys & Aliens"?

spacejock
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012He did? lol
I read an article where it was mentioned in a short sentence, involves Gigers Girlfriend.

Spartacus
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012wow, I may not get it as my net access is restricted at work, yes I intend on cheating...lol...

spacejock
MemberOvomorph02/18/2012I think I just give this away :) And give jones the con for his answer, or whoever comes up with something..
heres the article whith the answer in it:

Ruhaniya
Veteran MemberMemberOvomorph02/22/2012It sure is sad that Giger was not used for Dune, his universe would have certainly worked well with the film. I love the symbolic terrorist references in the movie! Poetic and Prophetic!
Oh Sparts, sorry I've been away, Too much going on and I missed your query..I believe the answer to the question of how many canisters are in bishops med lab, without checking I believe the answer is 6. Coincidence to Alien?
[img]http://electroshadow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/alien-facehugger.jpg[/img]

Rick
MemberXenomorph02/22/2012The answer is: 2 are alive the rest are dead. Which is 6 total with 4 dead specimens, 2 rows of 3 canisters, and Ruh you need to stop being so anti-social. Sparky's been moping around like he was lost for the last 2-3 weeks.

Ruhaniya
Veteran MemberMemberOvomorph02/23/2012Oh Rick, I wasn't intending on being anti-social but I like the fact you have found me ain't he social. I haven't had a computer for a couple weeks cause I moved and started Dialysis. Sorry for the inconvenience Sparts, now to make it up to you guys I will give you a third most thought provoking trivia question: In Aliens, Newt comments that the Aliens "come mostly at night, Mostly"... now based from Alien the planetoid moon LV-426 is 120000 kilometers in diameter, What is the orbital rotation of the planet in hours? Then compare that to Newts statement to be the ultimate snork dork!
