Instead of endless wastelands of mowed grass lawns, consider:
this only works in places with lots of rain, a temperate summer, and a nice cold winter. like England. or Michigan.
True! Unless you can find an economical way to irrigate, more appropriate lawn alternatives in hotter, more arid places might lean more to prairie meadows using local grasses and wildflowers:
Or, they might mean doing classic landscaping, but with rocks and xeriscape plants:
Or having a cactus garden:
There are lots of exciting possibilities once you throw the classic turf lawn out the window!
these are all so beautiful and all I can think is ‘that stone arc isn’t a stargate and I’m sad about it’
It never occurred to me to browse through the credits of Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien, to find out who was underneath the monstrous black mask.
The man was Bolanji Badejo, a 7ft tall Nigerian design student picked up from a bar in West London to fill the title role. He worked on the film for 4 months. Spending every day wrapped in a suffocating custom fitted rubber suit, working to exude a presence of pure evil.
Despite his incredible contribution to the film’s success Badejo never received any publicity for his involvement. Ultimately, it would be his only film role.
I looked Badejo up because of this post and although he passed young at 39 (sickle cell anemia) it seems he went on to have a fulfilling life after his role. He returned to Nigeria and opened an art gallery because his interest was in graphic arts design, and he left behind two children.
Of the experience of being in the alien costume, Badejo recalled in an interview in 1979, “I could barely see what was going on around me, except when I was in a stationary position, while they were filming. Then there were a few holes I could look through… It was terribly hot… I could only have it on for about 15 or 20 minutes at a time. When I took it off, my head would be soaked.”
It also seems it was partially his choice not to return for the sequels despite having the legal opportunity to do so. He said, “The fact that I played the part of Alien, for me, that’s good enough.”
Not one for the limelight, he was according to special effects supervisor Nick Allder “lovely, gentle and quiet,” and yet, says associate producer Ivor Powell, “part of cinematic history.”
