Seven working-class stiffs heading home. The call comes in to explore a planetoid and they think they can handle it without knowing a damn thing about the place?
Really silly...
Besides, I am not the biggest fan of eggs.
My version? A half-hour film where Parker and Ripley are vindicated.

Grasshoppers (Work in Progress)
Note: I started this a long time ago and left it in a desk drawer with a plan that remained unfinished. These are only the first seven chapters (I wrote about thirty-three pages), and I would like some feedback on this work. It is based on an actual trip I took with some friends while in Japan, but with a lot of my imagination thrown in. I just wonder if I can take this somewhere...

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Totally agree, always wonder why people in movies always go where angels fear to trod. Someone says there would be no movie if they didn't. i guess.
Ah, but it's so true to form. The very hubris of those whose lives are not on the line putting others at risk for their own benefit. What could be closer to the American dream (or the dreams of any with wealth &/or power)? And isn't it nice to spend a couple of hours remembering those deemed ultimately expendable?
I think I'd enjoy your version more!
Haha brilliant! I agree with the vindication!
That is a different take! (I wasn't allowed to see it at the pictures being 15 at the time!)
But, but... what about the face-huggers? Haha, this is very cool, Kendall, even if I do like the film.
