Very twisted visions he had, but one of a kind undoubtedly. His designs for Alien still set the bar for otherworldly visceral images 35 years later.

We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I.

I wonder what his coffin looks like and if he designed it. I really hope it's a big Alien egg and his corpse is spring loaded to pop out of it and land on the mourner at his burial.

He'll be missed but he was an odd duck, which is why I liked him so much.

There's no fantasy hall of fame and the geeks felt he had to go SOMEWHERE.

Also you have the same problem with Tolkien.

I assumed a penis or a very stretched out woman and he gets buried between her thighs.

Also, I wish I'd gotten something before the prices skyrocketed on his stuff.

I'm unclear on which person you are referring to.

Rest in peace, you creepy, magnificent bastard.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail
