If remotely accurate, this story about a lawsuit against Disney sounds like a scarier sequel to Alien than Alien: Romulus
Body horror and a legal argument to avoid liability that would delight any Weyland-Yutani employee.
(And if you want, here's the most detailed review of the movie I've seen)

The spaceship miniature from Alien: Romulus
This is the Corbelan IV built by the legendary Ian Hunter and his team. #AlienRomulus pic.twitter.com/cb5B4WTSHr

A few more props:
The Corbelan IV in #AlienRomulus is quite an old ship, except for a few new mods, like the newly installed Airlock panel. What other ship had this same system? pic.twitter.com/QsKJKq5cbw

If while watching #AlienRomulus , you see one of these (and there are many…) what do you think it means? pic.twitter.com/Paq6NCizsZ

We went to extreme lengths in #AlienRomulus to avoid CG sets. This is Jackson’s Star colony on the first night of shooting…. And btw, where did you see that RED neon sign before? pic.twitter.com/PRCbfZPwCu

(I sure hope they've carefully excluded from the trailers everything in this movie that makes it more than a remix of the previous Alien/Prometheus movies.)

If the Disney Starcruiser was Aliens-themed
Disney should legitimately turn the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser into an overnight Alien-themed horror experience.
— Seth Porges (@sethporges) May 22, 2023
First third: just hanging out as working Joes in space. Tension creeps in.

Second third: Alien boards and starts picking off crew members one by one.
Final third: A brigade of space Marines (including Ripley!) shows up to save the day... With your help

Some well-written reviews of vintage videos games at this site, including one of an Alien game so old it was distributed on a cassette
A few I enjoyed:
Racing Lagoon: Fast and furious: Yokohama drifting
Before we get started on this astonishingly slick looking game I need to issue a little warning to potential players: The title splashed across this page isn’t a racing game. Racing Lagoon calls itself a “high speed driving RPG” and it’s really important to take that to heart when giving it a go because this is not “Gran Turismo with spiky hair” or “Metropolis Street Racer with lots of dialogue”: The story is as integral to the game as the racing, to the point where there are whole nights (as the game refers to its chapter divisions) where you’ll do no racing at all and are instead expected to take an interest in leading man Sho’s life as well as those of his friends and racing rivals.
Septentrion is so unashamedly eager to ape ’70s disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure it doesn’t just broadly copy the setting and flow of its memorable inspiration, the game even makes the effort to lead with a movie-like opening sequence and later end with a fake cast roll, complete with legally-distinct actors (such as “Jean Hickman“) for every part.
But unlike many games that choose to base themselves on something else, this SNES exclusive is far more than a hollow Hollywood imitator: This is a truly pioneering survival game, and one that still stands out as a unique, high quality, experience in every sense almost three decades later.
This Spectrum/C64/Amstrad CPC Alien game (Spectrum version shown and played) debuted all the way back in 1984, making it perhaps the only official Alien game old enough to predate Aliens original cinema release. As if to help transport us back to those simpler times the manual opens with a nine page retelling of the first (or as it was then, only) movie up to the infamous “chestburster” scene, using stylishly grainy and deeply oversaturated monochrome photos as a visual aid. The game takes over where the text left off, beginning with the alien scuttling out of an arbitrarily-decided crewmember’s chest.
Although the game’s goal is broadly the same as Ridley Scott’s horror classic – try to either kill the alien or escape it (preferably both) – the way this creepy scenario plays out differs greatly from one game to the next as anyone could start the game infected, anyone (and everyone) could die at any time along the way, and anyone could be the devious alien-admiring corporate android saboteur.

"The UFO craze was created by government nepotism and incompetent journalism"
I'd seen Skinwalker Ranch in tv listings, but didn't know the truly grim story:
Why do these repetitive UFO stories keep coming up? The answer is Harry Reid—that’s right, the Senate majority leader—who was a UFO enthusiast and reportedly good friends with Robert Bigelow, the owner of “Skinwalker Ranch” where all sorts of goblins, shades, aliens, and “dino-beavers” (I’m serious) are seen. When people talk about a secret military program to study UFOs, they are likely mainly referring to how Bigelow’s company received a grant for 22 million to study wacky stuff at Skinwalker Ranch, including UFOs.
Reid initiated the program, which ultimately spent more than $20 million, through an earmark after he was persuaded in part by aerospace titan and hotel chain founder Bob Bigelow, a friend and fellow Nevadan who owns Bigelow Aerospace, a space technology company and government contractor. Bigelow, whose company received some of the research contracts, was also a regular contributor to Reid’s reelection campaigns, campaign finance records show, at least $10,000 from 1998 to 2008.
NPR:
"I'm not embarrassed or ashamed or sorry I got this thing going," Reid told the Times. "I think it's one of the good things I did in my congressional service. I've done something that no one has done before."

Classic scifi vehicles as Barbie toys
She's made many more. The sandworm's the funniest, but I bet a Barbie-scale loader from Aliens would bring Barbie some new fans:
