The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

The bottom pic is of the bar in Chur, his hometown. It's all black and silver, really cool. Great place to visit.
The other pics are from Gruyeres where his museum is, I saw them building that but not been yet. That is the place to go to, as Gruyeres is one of the most beautiful places I've been to, period. Would make a great beano. "You can count me in!" etc

You're pretty sure? How come? I just checked the website and there's no mention of it being closed down.
The Japanese and NYC bar closed some years ago but I've never heard anything about the other bars being closed and doing a Google seems to contradict what you're saying.

There's a cool link here for a panoramic view of the bar:

There's also recent vids on YT of the bar, so it's definitely still there.

I'd be up for a visit, say next Spring? :)
