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!

So I need help with a Latin translation. In the Punisher there is a line he said as he is getting ready to kill off John T. The subtitles show "si vis pacem, para bellum.

The translation in the movie was "If you want peace, prepare for war.

Is that right?
Want to make sure what goes on the armor is right.

Sup Peeps, Hey Kev!

Monkeys? I thought it meant "Its hotter than Hell, I do not need to buy a wool blanket." I have to fly commercially to Japan on Monday. I need to learn, 'No sir I have Male Hot Flashes not Swine Flu' in Japanese.

Just say "himitsu" if they start quizzing you on whether or not you've got Swine Flu. I'm sure they'll react positively.
