10 Movie Characters We'd Share a Desert Island With

8. Ellen Ripley - Aliens

Bikini bottom-esque underwear aside, having Ripley on the desert island with you would be tantamount to having a lioness matriarch sitting by the fireside sharing your s€™mores. She€™s handy with a gun / flame thrower though if we were to discuss the island€™s arsenal this could become an excessively long article. It may also be a case in point that any Nazi skulduggery that might happen to come from Indy€™s and Bloom€™s misadventures, would pale in comparison to a monstrous extra-terrestrial which bleeds acid. Yet another reason to have Ripley on your side. Bringing a €“ well needed by this point €“ sliver of femininity to the proceedings will also add to the quality of life about the place. No doubt Indy will make his wily moves on her and, come to think of it, that wouldn€™t be all too bad a match as far as fiction goes. Notice it€™s the Ripley from Aliens though; best get her early before she goes all weird and alien-y.

A. J. S. Scott was created as a homunculus by a mad English Alchemist who was trying to make rum from ink and seawater. He is still a fan of both and he has no comment on what happened to all the ‘No Exit’ signs in Islington Underground Station when he visited for Beltaine. You can send him missives by bribing the Right Raven with sour-strings, or: Instagram: @ajsscott Tumblr: andrew-scott-things.tumblr.com
