There’s nobody else like Sigourney Weaver. Her fierce intelligence has made every role she’s ever taken infinitely better.

Harold Ramis did NOT direct Ghostbusters – please change your graphic at 8:30, it’s insulting to him as the writer and one of the stars and to Ivan Reitman who DID direct it.

And then remembering that Jennifer Lawrence called herself the first female action star after doing the Hunger Games series…
Sigourney Weaver and Linda Hamilton enters the chat!
They don’t make movies like Alien 1-3 and Terminator 1-2 anymore!

She’s one of the most badass actresses the industry has ever had! Always played strong, leading roles at a time when that was far less common. Absolutely incredible!

Her having the opportunity at 70yo to play teenager must have been such a wild experience. And since its CGI they really only need to capture her performance, the looks are the easy part.

A class act and a Hollywood legend! She knows what she wants and refuses to just settle with a script or without an opinion. Admirable! I love the simplicity of Alien but Aliens is my favourite in the franchise. Ellen Ripley is one of the best female protagonists ever! 🤍

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
