The good news: Sigourney Weaver’s famous underwear shot, which probably launched millions of now middle-aged men straight into puberty and beyond, has survived Ridley Scott’s keen eye in his digitally remastered 2003 director’s cut of Alien.

James Bond is back - NOT! - as one vaguely remembered star of stage and screen might have said.
Instead of Bond, it’s super-groovy spy Austin Powers (Mike Myers) making his triumphant return to the silver screen, the British secret agent frozen in the 60’s and thawed in the 90’s, where/when he returned to active duty. The Spy……. »
