So apparently there is an new documentary about the making of Aliens? (It's from 2024)

And it's like 4 hours and 45 minutes 😮

Binged through it yesterday and I can only recommend it.

So much "Aliens cast yapping about filming the movie" and lots of new information I didn't know 😆

Batman: The Animated Series - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Firefly

Developing clinically significant pyromania at an early age, Garfield Lynns was obsessed with fire.  He gradually learned to sublimate his affliction by learning to become a pyro-technician and expert in creating dazzling special effects for movies and concerts.  He excelled in his craft and was later hired by the pop star known as Cassidy to design and run the pyrotechnics for her blockbuster new tour.  

Lynns and Cassidy dated for a brief time, yet Cassidy found him possessive and creepy and called things off.  He did not take the break up well and continued to make crass comments toward her.  It was all too much and Cassidy fired Lynns from her tour.  

Unhinged, Lynns attempted to kill Cassidy by overloading the pyrotechnics for her performance. Moments into her first song, the musician found herself trapped in a blazing inferno.  Fortunately Cassidy was saved by Batgirl and the concert hall was evacuated before anyone was hurt.

Undaunted, Lynns continued to plot a fiery revenge on Cassidy. He created for himself a special suit as well as a series of fire-based weapons. He became the villain known as Firefly.  

Batman was sought out by Cassidy for protection from Lynns.  Although Batman was not interested in offering preferential treatment to a celebrity, he was committed to bringing Firefly down.  Batman ended up utilizing a flame-retardant batsuit so to defeat Firefly and the villain was incarcerated.  

Sometime thereafter, Firefly participated in mass jailbreak where he teamed up with the villainess known as Volcana.  Although the two made for a formidable pair, they proved no match for The Green Lantern and both were recaptured.  

Actor Mark Rolston provided the voice for Firefly, with the villain first appearing in the twelfth episode of the first season of The New Batman Adventures, ‘Torch Song.’

Savoy's Knife Trick

Have you ever seen the movie Aliens? This drabble is based on a scene in the movie called Bishop’s knife trick. It gave me major Redeye being bullied by Gage vibes and I just had to write it. Gage’s voice actor(Mark Rolston) is actually in this movie and very sexy too, I highly recommend watching the movie for several reasons, and watching him do shirtless pull-ups is one of those reasons.

Mark Rolston's character, Drake, and what he does in this scene is the exact same as Gage in this fic! While the character Hudson(Bill Paxton) is Redeye, and Bishop is Savoy.

I decided to link the movie scene here! This scene is such a fun part of this incredible movie. Bill Paxton has always had major Redeye vibes to me, and of course Mark Rolston is literally Porter Gage.

I posted this work on AO3 as part of my Gage drabble series. Read it and more here at AO3!!

Or just read it below! :)

Redeye sat at the bar, surveying the crowd in Cappy’s Cafe. The place was packed. Drinking Buddy had just made a massive fresh batch of beer, and a group of Operators with instruments was supposed to come play some live music. The band and the drinks were so good that they brought in quite a few important customers.

On the opposite end of the bar sat the Overboss and Gage, along with Mason. The boss had a bottle in her hand as she talked loudly to Gage and Mason, a wide smile on her freckled face. She was leaning on Gage, the painfully sober raider holding onto her waist like a lifeline. Dogmeat was lying by their feet, his head resting on his paws. Mason, not sporting his face paint, stood beside the couple, smirking as the Overboss talked. Redeye would bet money on it that she was a bit buzzed and incredibly entertaining.

The bar was crowded, full of members of each gang. Savoy was even out today, sitting in the darkest corner possible with a few other Disciples. Savoy rarely crawled out of the hole he called home just to come drink with friends, he must've run out of blood to drink or something.

“Savoy!” Redeye shouted, the masked face of the Disciple enforcer turning his direction, “Do the thing with the knife! ” He said, pulling a combat knife from his boot and holding the handle out towards Savoy. “C’mon man! Do the knife thing!” He beckoned the raider over.

Savoy grinned and jumped to his feet, walking slowly to Redeye. He moved like a predator, the crowd growing silent. Raiders wordlessly stepped out of Savoy's way as he approached Redeye. Savoy’s grin turned more snake-like when he got closer to Redeye, Redeye having no idea that Gage was stalking up behind him. When Savoy grabbed the knife from his hand, Gage grabbed Redeye and put him in a tight hold. Redeye began panicking internally but tried to keep his cool.

“Yeah, do the knife thing, Savoy.” Gage mocked in his southern drawl, tightening his muscular arms around Redeye, securing him with a thick arm around his throat. “Gage what are you doing man…” Redeye mumbled, “Oh just shut up.” Gage sneered as he grabbed Redeye’s hand and put it on the table, holding his wrist so Redeye couldn’t move it.

Savoy put his hand over his, “Hey man! Not me! Not me!” Redeye shouted, panic melting into his voice. Gage practically growled out his words, “Yes you! Now shut up, don’t move… Do it Savoy!” Savoy smirked devilishly as he flipped the knife a few times in his hand, twirling it a few times just to show off. It also made Redeye incredibly nervous, which was just what Savoy wanted.

“Oh fuck….Guys quit messing around!” Redeye shouted as he tried to squirm out of Gage’s hold, Gage securing him a bit better so Redeye couldn’t move at all. The panic really began to set in.

Redeye felt like he was about to lose his hand or life, the fear making him sweat. He couldn’t see Gage but he knew he was sporting a shit-eating grin. ”Don’t move” Gage said again, tightening his grip further. He was holding him so tight Redeye felt like he couldn't breath, his breaths coming in short rushed bursts. The crowd of the bar, plus a few people who heard the commotion from outside, had gathered around them. Everyone was waiting for a trick or to see if Savoy and Gage were going to finally slaughter Redeye. It was impossible to tell which. The Overboss even had a front-row seat, a grin on her pretty face.

Redeye really thought he was about to die.

Savoy twirls the knife in his hand one last time before slamming it between his and Redeye’s fingers. Redeye let out a high pitched scream that some would call "unmanly" as Savoy quickly slams the knife between each of their fingers in the typical Five Finger Fillet fashion.

Redeye screams grow louder as Savoy’s pace quickens, the raider not nicking their fingers or missing his mark. Savoy continued to increase the speed of the knife, Redeye screaming as he helplessly watched, waiting to lose a finger. Gage couldn’t contain his laughter and was practically giggling as Redeye screamed.

The crowd had grown, the loud cheers and laughter of the crowd almost muting the screams of Redeye. Redeye was too focused on his hand and the knife going between his fingers to notice who in the crowd was laughing at him. He’d worry about payback later, if he survived…..

Savoy was fast and perfect, not slipping once. Redeye was worried that he’d “slip” and end up stabbing him in the throat or something. Sweat rolled down Redeye’s temple as he continued to shout like a man being tortured, his eyes following the quick movements of the blade.

After going through their fingers multiple times Savoy slammed the knife deep into the table beside Redeye’s hand, Savoy's chest moving quickly as he breathed heavily from the excitement. The horrible snake smirk was still on Savoy’s face. He didn’t say anything, he just stared at Redeye to unnerve him further. It worked, Redeye looking away from him.

Porter Gage let go of Redeye and stepped back. He dropped a cold beer in front of him, the beer sloshing over the rim and onto Redeye’s hand. Redeye jumped a bit when the cold liquid hit him, flinching even harder when Gage slapped his shoulder hard enough to sting. “Drink up.” Gage chuckled, walking back to his seat and the Overboss.

Redeye tried to get his breathing and heart rate under control, his voice a little breathless, “Not cool man! Fuck you guys!” Savoy bared his teeth like a wild animal before walking away from Redeye. He walked back to his dark corner full of Disciples. Nisha had decided to join the party, Savoy sitting down beside her, their knees bumping together. Redeye still believed that they were fucking. It was one of his favorite rumors and boy did it make sense when you watched the two interact.

Gage laughed and sat down beside Lilly, watching as Redeye took a shaky sip of his beer. “Goddamn that was entertaining. I want to do that again.” Gage spoke loudly enough for Redeye to hear, returning his arm to its rightful place around Lilly’s waist. Lilly giggled and pressed a kiss to the pulse point on his throat. Gage leaned down to whisper something in her ear, the Overboss blushing and shoving him away while giggling, Gage grinning at her before leaning in for a kiss.

Redeye looked away from them, they were too gross to watch for any longer. The way they looked at one another made Redeye want to puke.

He’d have to think of a way to tell this story in a way that didn’t make him seem like a coward. He’d some some more beer to think that hard, maybe some Mentats too…. He waved over Drinking Buddy so he could get to thinking.
