Happy xenomorph day

[rche]

Apparently, 20th Century Fox is calling 4.26.2016 Alien Day and celebrating all things xenomorph in a reference to LV-426, the moon that the alien was originally found on.

Special events abound on the inter webs, and you may be lucky enough to have a theater that is screening the 1979 classic. I sure wish my little town was participating, but no luck here in central MO.

There's a Kansas City showing....

I'm going to be in Columbus Ohio tomorrow, which sucks because there's a showing tonight in Columbus.... :(

Man, I wish a theatre around here was showing it!

I was in high school when Alien was released.

I remember some of my buddies saying the Space Jockey prop was destroyed by vandals because it was so scary.

Was that just a local schoolyard story ?

You can win some Alien collectibles on twitter! They're asking questions and randomly picking winners. https://twitter.com/AlienAnthology

Apparently religious fanatics set fire to the Space Jockey prop when it was on display outside Grauman's Egyptian Theatre because they thought it looked Satanic.

Alien. My favorite movie of all time. Okay, technically, it's tied for #1 with the original POTA but still...
