The Conspiracy to NOT Put these Shows on DVD

So, from time to time, I check again, get pissed off, to discover yet again, that these movies/shows are not yet on DVD.

Here are three picks that NEED to be DVD. One isn't, nor ever has been available on video in THE USA!

PREY

Okay, not an alien show, but a conspiracy show. I figure it applies here to be sure, as the theme has been done with aliens before it. In the same vein as NOWHERE MAN, which thankfully is available on DVD, and highly recommended.


This show didn't last, but like Lone Gunmen, Nowhere Man, Millennium, and other shows which had promise, and were worthy of continuation were cancelled. So give us this show on DVD please, and if anybody knows where to download it, please let us in.

STARCROSSED / STARCROSS

This strange movie starring James Spader, and the now missing in action actress, Belinda Bauer
was a unique alien chase TV flick, that for some reason has stuck with me all these years. Of the same production value as Invaders below, this film, which is like STARMAN, has always haunted me for some reason, and I'd like to see it again. Never available on video in the USA, for some reason (another conspiracy.) Men in Black chase Bauer around, who turns out to be an alien like Jeff Bridges in Starman. Some car chases, violence, but essentially an alien-romance story.





THE INVADERS

Yes here we are again, and still no INVADERS on DVD. Available currently used, quite cheaply at Amazon.com.

Its movies like these when they aren't available on DVD or even on video at all, I'd like to encourage piracy. I don't have the technical means, but I say again, if these fucking studios can't produce stuff that people will buy from them on DVD, then screw them. By not making it available encourages downloading and piracy, keep it up assholes, and people will come up with their own new video format.

Put these on DVDs you greedy scum, or we'll keep uploading, downloading and Youtubing them, until you're out of business, so stop complaining about bad ticket sales, and put something good on DVD.

V Enemy Visitor Figures

R.G. Potter has created a custom V Figure at his RGP FX. He has a whole bunch of creations at his website.

Click here to get to his V Alien page.

Over at X-Entertainment, a serious doll-collector has a fully illustrated feature on the original "V Enemy Visitor" Doll, complete with moving graphics, and flicking reptile tongue.

"I'm firmly certain that dolls were conceptualized millions of years ago only to ensure the creation of the Enemy Visitor. This was God's work. God loved V."

This guy(or girl) claims that the inspiration for the Dolls feature is all because of the V Enemy Visitor Doll. Okay, well, anyway, its got some nice crystal clear photos of the doll and all its unique attributes.

As I reported earlier about the Julie Parish doll from South America, I tried to get the ebay seller to provide better photos, and he met halfway, I guess he doesn't know what 'clear' and 'blurry' means.

He relisted the item, now with a new photo of Julie's head.

They say pictures are worth a thousand words. It appears that Julie is a rather cheap generic cupie-type doll, with nothing more than a new "V" package and outfit. (But she does come with a gun.) This V Doll is certainly not worth the hundred dollars he's asking for it, and we'd all be better served if R.G. Potter made the entire cast of V in figures that are half the quality of his original custom V Enemy Visitor.

But, I suppose its
worth noting the existence of this doll, and it offers the question, Is there a Mike Donovan doll as well? And does he look like Howdy Doody with a pistol?

Speaking of Mike Donovan and his pistol, I managed to find these rarities on ebay as well. One looks to be a cheapo knockoff, and the other a cheapo-original "Mike Donovan" V Pistol. The "In-V-ader" logo is a nice cheesy touch, don't you think? I actually used to have the Coibel 'Walther PPK' below, as it came in a "James Bond oo7" kit, without the fake alien trigger guard you see on this one. I imagine this Mike Donovan pistol is a prime collectible as I have never actually seen one before.
Anyway, enjoy the pics and links, there's always new old V stuff turning up, that somehow existed back then even though we V Fans never actually saw them anywhere. (Mostly because for some reason South America had crap-loads of V Merchandise, lucky bastards.



Ebay Never Ceases to Amaze




Ebay, the internet's home of snake-oil salesman, con artists and rip-offs, never ceases to amaze me. People will sell anything (and perhaps buy anything.)

This item reminds me of the 'zombie dust' I once saw on there. Someone was selling 'bags of spells.' Basically ziploc bags with sawdust, which supposedly are used for spells.

"Visitor Deterrent."

Night of the Living Podcast - Roddy Piper


Roddy Piper gets interviewed at HorrorHound Weekend.

Roddy Piper comes out of the closet... he finally admits he's a lesbian.

One crazed interview.

He sings weird stuff, the Sound of Music, talks about even crazier stuff, like puking up goldfish, surgery, cancer, steroids, Heineken bottles are different than Miller...some witty stuff. Yes he talks "THEY LIVE" around 17:55. Later, the "G.I.Joe" action figure, and more incoherent tangents.
Roddy Piper has got to be a blast to hang out with, you can't help but love the guy, no matter how crazy he is.

It is not clear if he's drunk during this interview or whether this is the usual crazed Roddy Piper. Perhaps one too many bottles to the head.

This podcast is a good time, check it out.

Wil Wheaton is not very Awesome


"Anyone remember the series based on "V"? I think this would be a similarly steaming pile of anti-awesome."

Wow. What might this have to do with my Alien Resistance blog? Besides the fact that I hate Star Trek (well, every series but the one with Shatner) and think that this jackass wasn't worth paying to act on that show? He's an arrogant little shitcock who somehow believes that a "They Live" TV series 'won't work.'

Yes, well, we're glad to know what you believe, fruitboy. He is seriously out of touch with what kind of crap that's been on TV lately, not to mention, he looks to be stuck in some sort of self-imagined blog-fame. He's decided to let us know that it won't work in his comments @ http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/07/25/could-they-live-become-a-tv-series/#c6121734

Well, I'm sorry to tell you there Gordy, but perhaps its time you graduated from your total dorkhood, and dickheadhood, and got over yourself. Perhaps you should wait until you watch at least one episode before you make your immature decrees and proclaimations.

Most certainly, if John Carpenter does decide to do a They Live TV series, with Roddy Piper, who is a better actor than you could ever hope to be (and that's not saying much), not to mention, you smarmy jerk, Piper became a cult-icon, the dude's a freaking "G.I.Joe" now...

...but seriously, we will all thank Mr. Carpenter, and God, for not casting you in it.

Listen, Wesley, perhaps you don't understand why people LOVE They Live, and V.

Here's what Wil had to say about it:

"I don't see how this could possibly work as a TV series. The movie itself is about 20 minutes of really good story wrapped in hilariously awful 80s action movie filler.

Anyone remember the series based on "V"? I think this would be a similarly steaming pile of anti-awesome."

I guess you're entitled to your worthless opinions there Wesley, but its a Bad idea there Wil to piss off Sci-Fi fans, and let them in on that Hollywood love of yours. Its clear to us how you must view yourself judging from your narcissistic blog, and how cool you think you are. Guess what Gordy, there's an audience for both a V and a They Live series. And as in the RETURN OF THE X-FILES, there will be room for the return of Joe Nada, and Mike Donovan. Nobody is looking for a return of Wesley Crusher, I can honestly guarantee you that, and as for the rest of your washed up career, all I can say is... sorry it didn't work out for you there, it seems its turned into a steaming pile of ANTI-AWESOME. We gather from the popularity of your worthless character on Star Trek, and how many appearances(or lack of) in the Next Generation films, that you truly were the star. Perhaps because of your attitude, you excelled in being useless. You're not JUST A GEEK, you're a jackass. You're as good a critic as you are an actor, and anyone who browses your Star Trek reviews (even though I hated the Next Generation) can see just how much of a prick you are.

Oh, and hey Wil-Fucking-Wheaton, notice I didn't link to your worthless blog, howabout a link for SHATNERVISION instead?





Did you notice Wil, that's Shatner up there being honored, not YOU?

Lone Gunmen from the X-Files to Return?


Dean Haglund on his podcast while speaking about the new X-Files Movie Sequel, alludes to something of a possibility of the 'return of the Lone Gunmen.' What might he be saying here, and why is he keeping it a secret?

Check out the podcast... http://digitalphotography.podango.com/podcast_episode/1047/54373/From_the_Heart_of_Hollywood/From_the_Heart_of_Hollywood_29

No Aliens;But...Organ Swapping Hijinx!


First video from the new X-FILES movie!

The Rhythm Of the Final Battle

Hey V Music Fans:

(While I am still looking for an original MP3 Link...) If you can find yourself a copy of SECURITY by Peter Gabriel, pay attention to the song called: The Rhythm of the Heat. It closely resembles the V Final Battle Theme...only it has vocals/lyrics. Strange... None of the 'covers' or remakes of the original song by other bands quite come close to the closeness of Peter Gabriel's version to the V Final Battle Theme.... Anyway, if anything, somebody out there will find it interesting so check it out for yourself.

THEY LIVE Promo Video Display


Check out this neat "They Live" Display stand promo thingie for videos. Discovered it on ebay. Looks like it has some sort of holographic alien on the lenses that changes from human to alien.

If only they could make a "They Live" movie, where you go into the theater, they hand out what look like 3-D glasses, and when you put them on to look at the screen, certain characters in the movie turn to aliens, and when you take them off they're normal again... yeah, heh heh, not going to happen.

I sure wish somebody would come out with an exact replica of these glasses, the Roddy Piper fan versions aren't quite the same.

THEY LIVE - "Nada" Comic




I'd decided to post in parts, periodically, the "NADA" Comic, which the movie THEY LIVE was partly based upon. Here is part one. Click on the pics to see larger images.

Julie Parish V Doll

Weirdest thing I've seen in a while, a Julie Parish (Faye Grant) Doll from V, allegedly from Paraguay for sale on ebay from a foreign seller. http://cgi.ebay.com/V-INVASION-JULIE-PARRISH-DOLL-PLASTIC-12-FIGURE_W0QQitemZ300178930943QQihZ020QQcategoryZ348QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I can't see the doll very well with his blurry pictures, but it might not be unheard-of or impossible that this was made, as South America seems to have churned out the V merchandise while we here in the States got little more than a reptilian lizard man doll and a few books.
