Hearing People Scream in Space: The Supercut
One of Hollywood's most celebrated taglines, from the Ridley Scott classic "Alien," tells us: "In space, no one can hear you scream."
But anyone who's ever seen a proper sci-fi thriller will tell you that's not true at all.
Just watch "Event Horizon." Or "Sunshine." Or the brand new space haunter "Apollo 18." Even "Alien" itself.
So to all you future space travelers, use the footage above as a cautionary tale. Intergalactic exploration is f**king scary. And chances are there will be screaming. Lots and lots of screaming.

Girls With Guns: The Shooting Gallery
Hot chicks with guns. Is there anything sexier?
Yes, of course there is. Lingerie models come to mind. Bikinis. Maybe some sort of naughty teacher scenario. But if you're one of those socially maladjusted guys [raises hand] that can only express your suppressed sexuality through the heroine avatars of your favorite violent video game, then you'll want to check out "Colombiana" (in theaters Aug. 26), starring Zoe Saldana.
And if you absolutely require more ammo-fueled feminism, we've made a list of film's 20 hottest pistol-totin' babes, just for you.

You might think that after more than three decades of talking about her iconic role of Ellen Ripley in the "Alien" films, Sigourney Weaver would be sick of it all.
But as she revealed in an extensive new interview with Moviefone, Weaver not only isn't tired of Ripley,she's actually hoping to get one last shot at James Cameron's interstellar monsters -- because she's convinced she "could definitely kick that alien's ass again."
And that's not all Weaver had to say about Cameron, "Alien" and "Avatar" when she sat down to discuss the 25th anniversary of "Aliens," still one of the most popular sequels in movie history. Get More »

Looks like Charlize Theron might be swapping out the kind of monster that shoots men for the type that bleeds acid and lays babies in your chest.
That's right, lovely Charlize is being courted like a Southern belle by 20th Century Fox to take a role originally earmarked for Michelle Yeoh in the "Alien" prequel, but getting her to sign on the dotted line ain't gonna be a dance around the maypole.
According to Vulture, the scripted part of "a fortysomething, tough-but-sexy crew member" named Vickers is being beefed up and tailored to the Academy Award-winner's liking. She's also presumably demanded a hundred sheep from the finest stock in all the valley, and exotic spices from faraway continents. Get More »
