2014

Sunday August 31st 2014

1) Added  Did cocoon scene Ridleygram inspire Brainstorm's hell?

2) a) An update to The Beast With Metal teeth about the origins of the Alien's Metal Teeth in the character Jaws in The Spy Who Loved me. The man who created those metal teeth for Richard Kiel had also made them back in 1974 for The Phantom of Paradise and maybe looking at this curious lineage and seeing the face of the phantom with his helmet on might indeed beg one to ask more questions the inspirations behind Giger's Alien. b) Another update, although Burman and Chambers made metal teeth for the Jaws character, the production used ones by by a dentist in Pinewood instead.
