Alien Franchise Food, Week and Toys week
I.Raptus
ModeratorPraetorianFeb-28-2018 1:13 AMIts a bit quiet here between films but lets see how this go.
dk and I shared a few weeks ago a thread calling for a celebration of the food, drinks, and toys found within the Alien franchise films.
Im sure most who read this will be well aware of the infamous cornbread conversation in Aliens, or the Aspen Colorado Beer the crew of the Nostromo were punching down merrily before Kane's demise. Perhaps you noticed the Drinking Birds found in the background of several of the films, or the Hula Girl from Alien Covenant. Maybe the half-assed disguised bottle of Jack Daniels the crew were shooting as a toast to Captain Branson?
This week we ask; share any stories, memorabilia, replicas you may have of the easter eggs found within the films. Double bragging points if you have some props, or even the real-life Aspen Brewing Company beers!!
This week coincides with Peter Weylands landmarks TED speech Feb 28th, 2023.
It also coincides with Captain Dallas' birthday Feb 27th 2076
Good enough of a reason as any for a drink and a story or 2 :)
I hope you enjoy this amazing introductory video from dk

I was most grateful to have been sent this by a very kind-hearted individual. I have had a great time stirring up friends, family and colleagues and posing the thing in creepy places any chance i get.
Here are some of my favourites!

Meanwhile, this pesky little bastard crept into my chili and cornbread/Henry Weinhard beer meal.
