Has any mainstream franchise been so heavily manipulated by individual directors as the Alien series? Each new director has taken the series in their own direction, for better or worse, but usually worse. Ridley Scott's 1979 original had a very simple premise, essentially a 1950s b-movie with post-Star Wars FX and '70s gore. With Aliens, James Cameron delivered a war movie, replacing Scott's slow burn horror with balls to the wall action. David Fincher gave us a prison movie with Alien 3, while dealing with much studio interference. Alien: Resurrection saw Jean-Pierre Jeunet give us...well, whatever that was (all I remember is Sigourney Weaver's basketball skills, or am I thinking of Kurt Russell in Escape from LA?). Scott made a surprise return to the series and bored the pants off us with the Chariots of the Gods-influenced Prometheus and Covenant, though they did feature the memorable sights of Michael Fassbender snogging himself and Noomi Rapace performing a self-abortion.

"Correct! I actually performed on The Totally Tubular Festival two years ago. I was playing solo that night and they asked me to come back, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and so I decided to reform my backing band from 1988, The Lost Toy People. The last show we played together was with Depeche Mode and OMD at the Rose Bowl for the legendary 101 Concert and the other night in Phoenix was our first show in 38 years; how about that?"
Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
Here is a look at shows taking place this week along with our featured listings and a look at some upcoming shows. New Jersey Stage offers previews of concerts throughout the Garden State as well as select shows in New York City and Philadelphia areas
