deliberate ash

if you ask me, you can never have too many shots of ian holm in his 'science officer' uniform. costume, whatever. if you know the film, you know he and ripley have finally gotten down to getting physical. and i know i've said it before, but i think their fight scene could've gone on a lot longer... with a lot more clawing and hair pulling and rolling around on the floor on top of eachother... but apparently ridely scott wasn't thinking about my future twisted voyeuristic kinks when he filmed this back in 1979. (hey, like i was seven in '79...and had only been thinking about sex for a couple of years.)

ash in control

i haven't posted a cool shot of my darling ian holm in a while. here he is once again as science officer ash, ready at the controls to help steer the ship to their dark destiny. he looks so damn good in the part. and he sounds even sexier than he looks. but beware, he has a cloaked agenda. i don't suppose that blows away too much of the plot. so enjoy the handsome face and cool manner of ian holm in the scientific driver's seat. (sigh, i haven't slept too much in the past five days... and whoa, is it ever obvious.)

can ash say something?

DALLAS:

"...Parker, will you just listen to the man? (2-3-4) ASH: "...on penalty of total forfeiture of shares..." (whispering) "...no money." yes, the sexy and devious Ash puts forth a cool, logical lever: money... convincing the materialistic Parker and the working-class Brett to 'go in' and investigate the mysterious 'acoustical beacon.' needless to say, it is far from a routine investigative excursion. yes, as many of you know, the eggs they find, although artfully hidden, are a far cry from the gaily painted shells of 'earth' easter. (mm, what the hell am i talking about? hey, give me a break, i'm in the middle of 'big move,' and spent most of the day going through dusty boxes of my own mess.) but hey, Ash is still sexy, so...
