I have a lot of time for Outland. It’s a dark little notion that gets pulled in one direction too many and so I prefer pulling out individual scenes to watch rather than the whole movie. Some of the set design, especially Connery’s quarters, was another influence on Moon.

Steranko’s Outland is another beast entirely. Originally published in Heavy Metal, the entire thing is online here. I grabbed the jpgs and am currently reading it on the iPad. Beautiful stuff.

Oh, and yes. There is an inevitable remake on the way.

Yup. HR Giger advertising Pioneer soundsystems. Here are the print ads:

All very Alien, but the models were actually based on Giger’s designs for the Jodorowsky stab at Dune.

Odd to think that the David Lynch version we got was the sane one…

More random posts to follow as I empty out an old research folder.

And I haven’t been playing Portal 2 all this time. Honest.

Got lost in a research loop, back to writing with an actual pen on actual paper and catching up on my reading.

Lots of staring into space.

Space is big.

Back in two shakes.
