    Default Prometheus

    I love you, Ridley Scott.



    The other viral trailers are cool, but this one is the best.

    No idea.

    One thing I'm certain about is that we haven't cracked that whole M theory thing. Strange that it was mentioned.

    Maybe Peter isn't much of a technical guy, he comes across as more of a eviler Steve Jobs type.

    I'm hoping Scott is making this as suspense/horror film like the first, the action in the second film made it entertaining but emptier. The official trailer has that feel, but trailers can be deceiving. Big things have small beginnings.

    The Imax trailer has some different footage, and sound editing to die for. Happy to admit that I have unrealistically high expectations for this film ...

    Hmm the choice of the term Promethus I believe will have a bit of slant on the movie, I bet they take summit they shouldnt from the space jockeys.

    Stealing fire from the gods and all so that the gods send us an annoyance in the form of women was it not??

    In this case they instead send the alien creatures to eat us maybe????

    Clearly the answer is robot Nazis. Just look at it. It makes me smile and roll my eyes at the same time.

    He said that we don't know him. (sic)

    He's Mike from Neighbours and I claim my £5.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    I believe James Cameron did Aliens (Alien 2).
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I remember seeing Alien (1) again about a year ago. What struck me the most is how obviously the alien is actually a guy in a suit, lol.

    Or how little action of any of description takes place.

    And how long it takes before the audience is introduced to the creature.
