besides the graphic design references in your previous post i also found that there's always been a fascination with various forms of humanoid-ness, let it be the the representatives of our evolution or any monkey-types living in the forests - being regarded as our closest relatives. I think it is not the similarities that fascinate us, but our differences in appearance and behavior, often serving as inspiration for earlier Sci-Fi
movies with 'Planet of the Apes' the closest example, in which apes represent the highest form of evolution.
we still see a slight distortion or variation of the expected human reference as being alien enough, while perhaps we have no idea in what form or shape a real alien life form may appear. I have a gut sense that that permanent itch at my neck is caused by some alien-mutant-bedbug. AJ
