H.R. Geiger's Catgirl

[hauntingsunshine14]

I think the design of the xenomorph is so interesting because their bodies being an amalgamation between predator and machine really just drive home the capitalism themes. Like yeah, this thing that we created takes over humans' bodies, uses them to live and grow, and will slowly kill us all looks kinda like the factory machinery at your day job.

thanks H.R. Geiger! you slay.

A bunch of alien concepts I will explore more at some point. Love designing aliens.

Most recent ones! (07/23) a eusocial skeksis / H.R. Geiger alien bred to fight and conquer. (02/23) Two Milky Federation citizen species.

(04/22) alien from an almost lightless planet. (02/22) A sauropod / land cetacean giant species. (12/21) a hairy slug alien.

Older ones. (07/21) radial symmetry alien (should have 6 eyes, woops). (03/21) Shark-like species, and the Space Freelancers' notary.

(03/22) And a bunch on non-intelligent domesticated aliens.

1979

At first, I saw this and thought "YAY!" because there were some really good and relevant movies that came out that year. Upon closer inspection, though, those were highest grossing films, many of which weren't released in '79. I went digging through the lists of movies released in '79 (in all languages I could find) and picked through those I recognized. Here are the bits.

ALIEN

In space, no one can hear you scream.

[It's been long enough since I've seen the films that I can't filter full-grown xenomorph gifs as belonging to the first film vs. others and decided against gore, melted androids, and faces full of alien wing-wong, so no image for you.]

It's got everything: the woman is right, the plot gets kicked off because people don't listen to standard safety procedures, a fake-out about who the survivor would be (at the time; that's well spoiled now), the cat survives, H.R. Geiger aesthetics, corporate malfeasance, and betrayal, all in the course of reconstructing the haunted house horror movie style. I'm kinda glad that they got rid of the bit where the xenomorph cocoons and melts prey into its eggs to make a complete cycle (even if that makes less sense), since it's a little too gross.

I will say that I can't adequately compare it to the other major '79 horror films (The Amityville Horror and Dracula), as I haven't seen them. And don't care to.

Relevant to Your Blog: Castle of Cagliostro, Don Giovanni, Galaxy Express 999, Moonraker.

I have never read or watched anything involving Arsene Lupin -- and, until this year, thought the character was from some old anime/manga series I hadn't seen or read, given Miyazaki's involvement in this film (which I think is the film for a TV series). It's the one Ghibli-ish film I haven't bothered to try to watch. (I haven't made it through My Neighbors the Yamadas or Pom Poko, but I've otherwise watched them all.)

I only recently found out about this version of Don Giovanni, so it's on my list. I figure it's relevant to your blog because he's a rascal-type rogue, even if he's not a rogue by class.

Galaxy Express 999 has been on my watch list since Daft Punk released Interstella 5555, more or less: I recognized the classic anime character designs (and vaguely '70s get-ups), tracked down the animator, and found this title. The film's plot, surprisingly, deals with street urchins, theft, adventures, class, and paywalled immortality, so seems right up your alley.

...and I'm not big on 007, either. It's not that I don't like spies/rogues, it's that it's too much of a male power fantasy.

You can get back to me on those, I skuppose. ;)

Others: Apocalypse Now!, The Black Stallion, Monty Python's The Life of Brian, The Muppet Movie

I feel like because I never read Heart of Darkness (it was an optional text on some reading list in high school) and am kinda shaky in my knowledge of 'Nam (I have some background on Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam's struggles against its French colonial rulers and their subsequently-involved US allies, but not enough), so while I know this film has garnered lots of praise and was enjoyable, I don't feel comfortable recommending it without more context for analysis.

I have always confused The Black Stallion with Black Beauty, even though the former has always seemed (to me) to have a greater mystique to it. That's it; that's the only reason I note it.

If you haven't seen Life of Brian, do yourself a favor and watch it. If you have, do yourself a favor and watch it. Latin jokes, Christianity/cult/rebellion jokes, and penis jokes abound -- including full frontal nudity with (I'm assuming) a gag dick.

It's Tumblr; I can't not recommend Muppets. I'd be hanged.

I need to get spit roasted by two trans women while taking acid so I can have visions like H.R. Geiger

[fleshadept]

does anyone have a source on the “H.R. Geiger got his inspiration for his art from being spitroasted by two trans women while on LSD” thing or was that made up

[gutcutz]

your art is so AWESOME!!! idk wat to say i just wanna say that cuz its so cool. ur art is so dream-like n surreal i rly love it. do u have any inspirations or artists u like? what do u wanna capture w ur art and express? :O do u have any interesting thoughts on art in general?? LOL IDK!!! well, either way i hope u have a good day. love ur art so much thank u for posting it!

I'm a product of those who are no longer here, perhaps my biggest inspiration is Richard Dadd, the devine maximalism of his works has changed me eternal. Zdzisław Beksiński engraved a sense of longing in me that I always fight towards; the longing of his pieces keeps me pursuing; H.R Geigers work undoubtingly planted the desire in me early in my youth and I feel indebted to transition to forms so abstract as his, in time! undoubtably many other musical artists visions also greatly inspire me, Allie X, Ethel Cain, Eartheater, Lady gaga namely. I think a synopsis is a jpeg uploaded to an early internet forum of a painting found without a name attached, the artifacts of compression integral to the piece now. Or the paintings of Minecraft, distorted and mendable to interpretation; digitally remembered only.

I'd not want to muddy the water of my works with my interpretation, they are for the world to understand in it's own way; for me however they are longings and desires, un-obtainable and effervescent dreams after the fact, what can't be and only ever was in fantasy. for in pain, there is clarity.
