Thirty Five Images of Space Helmet Reflections by Eric Ulrich.
I’ve been able to use Google Images and their nifty “upload an image and we’ll match it” to figure out the source of thirty one of the images. Top to bottom, left to right:
- 2001, Sbtrkt, Solaris (2002), 2001, Explore the Unknown
- The Astronaut Farmer, Radiohead, unknown, Moon, The Right Stuff
- Alien, Up In The Air, unknown, Barbarella, Getty Images
- Space Cowboys, Anna Fisher, iStockPhoto, unknown, Moon
- 2001, Apollo 13, 2001, Hubert Vykukal, 2001
- Solaris (2002), Space Odyssey, Space Camp, 2001, Alien
- 2001, 2001, Cargo, Richard Branson, unknown
If you know the provenance of the final four, please let me know.

Rewatching Alien(s)
Strangely I’ve been thinking a lot about Alien and Aliens recently, and specifically about the costumes and sets. It’s been ages since I saw any of these films, pre-DVD I think.
I haven’t seen either Alien or Aliens for a good while. I think today’s posts show it’s time to change that (even though I find the former to be a bit too much of a horror film for my liking). I’m undecided on whether to go as far as the next two in the series, but the first are definitely classics.
