A similar design could have worked for Aliens, but not for Alien.  It gives away the Xenomorph.  It had to remain a secret.  But good for Aliens.

Yeah, T, though don't you think Giger's Necronomicon from 1977 previewed very well what we could expect in Alien?  Okie

But how many people knew of Giger's work compared to a big Hollywood movie?  I was too young to see Alien in 79, probably didn't see it until the mid 80s on VHS, and all I knew about it was the egg and the tagline "In Space No One Can Hear You Scream".  Even 5 years later, it caught my attention and the reveal was out of this world.

Alien still looks pretty darn good today, too!  I agree, T, almost no regular U.S. folks would have known about Giger's work back then.  I think I may have seen Giger's book at a convention before Alien came out, though with the passage of time, I'm not sure if it was before or after the movie now that I saw his book.  Definitely not a book I would have wanted my mom to see back then!  Okie

Hey, T!  Is that also the same set used for Back to the Future that is pictured in the Gremlins' print? I thought I saw a DeLorean tearing down that same street once before.  Okie

Yes.  Two Spielberg productions, one at WB, the other at U, both shot on the Universal Studios' Backlot.  Same theater, for instance.

You've got a keen eye.

Where is mine?  I haven’t received it yet.  Why am I always the last one to get stuff?  Is Southern California too far?

The placement of the Rita poster is too much...Andy looks like he just rubbed one out. Too forced.

That's the problem with these private commissions.  It's a little bit of a hit or miss.  Sometimes you buy something without seeing the final product.  But on average, I'm pretty happy with it.

I do really like that interpretation of Bullitt, T.  The only change I would recommend is to make Bisset's image much larger!

I like that Bullit a lot, missed that one somehow (annoyingly). The print job on it looks really nice too.
