Good news and bad news, Oz fans.

Why Yes, Sigourney Weaver Would Like to Do Another Aliens Movie

Here at Movieline HQ we clearly worship at the altar of Ellen Ripley . Who doesn’t? Partly because Sigourney Weaver ‘s sci-fi heroine rocked our socks in (most of) the Alien films — hey, Alien Resurrection wasn’t her fault — and also thanks to the fact that no woman has come close to achieving her level of badass in the movies since, another Ripley-centric Aliens sequel sounds like a plum idea. And Weaver herself agrees.

Happy 25th Anniversary, Aliens! Let’s Reflect on its Genius

A hot July day exactly 25 years ago yielded one of the best films of the 1980s: Aliens , James Cameron’s sequel to the Ridley Scott’s classic Alien seven years before it. It holds up all this time later, and arguably may stand up as the most solid work Cameron and his ensemble ever did. Let’s pay it the anniversary respect it deserves.

We’re sorry to slime all over your supernatural spank bank, gentlemen, but after careful inspection of the Blu-Ray the final word has come down from Mr. Skin’s Skin Wizards- it’s not a tit, just a chance meeting of pink leotard and flailing thumb. Join us as we skinfinitively put down the Ghostbusters gobstopper rumors after the jump!

Sigourney Weaver in The Alien Quadrilogy: Mr. Skin’s Guide

The four fright films that make up the Alien Quadrilogy – Alien , Aliens , Alien 3 , and Alien: Resurrection – make their Blu-Ray debut today as skindividual titles (they’ve been available as a complete- and expensive- boxed set since last fall). Splitting up the films is good news for randy fans of tough-as-nails heroine Ripley , played by sinewy, sexy Sigourney Weaver , since when it comes to nudity, not all Alien (s) are created equal. Rub down the options for an out-of-this-world peter pulling session after the jump!

Oscar Nudity: Double Nominees Show Award Winning Skin [PICS]

For a Hollywood actress, the ultimate double shot is being nominated for two acting Oscars in the same year (unless you’re Lindsay Lohan , in which case the ultimate double shot is lifting two bottles of tequila at Discount Liquor Mart). Here’s a sampling of our favorite ladies who’ve received this rare honor: Ravishing redhead Julianne Moore is the most recent nominee on our list, nominated in 2002 for her roles in Far from Heaven and The Hours . But you have to go back all the way to 1993 for a glimpse of her famous firecrotch (and buns) in Short Cuts . Also in 1993, Holly Hunter received two nominations for her roles in The Firm and The Piano . We get firm thinking about tinkling Holly’s ivories, shown here in glorious rear view in The Piano . Icy British beauty Emma Thompson was nominated the same year for her roles in The Remains of the Day and In the Name of the Father . Mr. Skin will spend the remains of this day reminiscing about Emma’s rack in The Tall Guy (1989) . 5’10” glamazon Sigourney Weaver was nominated in 1988 for her roles in Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl . Sigourney didn’t show her beaver in those films, though she played a lady of the night in Working Girl , but she graciously compensated by flashing full frontal in A Map of the World (2000) . Mr. Skin’s favorite pair still comes in mammary form, but we’re willing to be flexible for you, ladies! Stay tuned for more Academy-Award winning nudity all this week on the Mr. Skin blog !
