- TriviaBilly Corgan made a short movie with his friends in the early 1980s, titled "Alien 1/2". The premise was basically a semi-sequel to Ridley Scott's "Alien", before James Cameron's "Aliens" was released in 1986. Corgan and his friends play astronauts who travel to a distant planet, only to be attacked by an alien (it's actually a plush Tazmanian devil doll). Corgan and his comrades use such tools as a pink hair dryer to combat the beast, which flies above their heads, thanks to some fishing line. Action sequences include a spaceship landing on the planet's surface, which was achieved by a thin piece of paper, folded into a tirangular shape (for the spaceship), and what appears to be a flat picture of a red planet (most likely Mars). Corgan utters the dramatic line, "And nowwwww, the end is near!". Bits of this movie were broadcasted on VH1's "Before They Were Rock Stars".
- QuotesThe basic Pumpkins philosophy from the beginning was that everything had already been done. You couldn't write better songs than the Beatles, you couldn't be heavier than Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, you couldn't be cooler than Cheap Trick. There was no way you were gonna top that. So all you could really do was try to rip off what you liked about it and sort of throw it back at people in a different way.
