Off Topic : Happy ALIEN Day

For all you fans of the original ALIEN movie, today April 26th is the 4th Annual ALIEN Day. Don' t really know who comes up with these special days like National Ice Cream Day, Take Your Kids To Work Day, or for that matter International Pipe Smoking Day ... but when one of those special oddball holidays days strikes my fancy I join in the celebration. So tonight I'll load up my pipe with one of my Frankenstein blends I've called NOSTROMO (the name of the ship in the movie) and settle back and watch the movie.

I've never seen any of the alien films, since I get a bit squeamish with gory movies. I won't lie, though, I do enjoy reading the wiki articles on the film franchise.

I thought ALIEN was great until I saw LIFE

Alien with pipe and smoking jacket is hardly "off topic"............

Looks like a Latakia smoker to me. Doesn't appear to be a Captain Black type of guy.

I just recently read a hardcover copy of that movie's novelization I'd found at a yard sale or somewhere a year or so back. Seemed to be a lot less gripping than the film.
