saw the trailer last night and it is like the greatest trailer in the history of the world ever, probably means the movie is awful.

noticed that same inception-style "horn of doom" noise when the giant dragon thing appears at the end of the avengers trailer
― BEMORE SUPER FABBY (contenderizer), Monday, 16 April 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago) link
the horn of doom is in like 80% of all action/scifi trailers now

I can't remember who the guy was, but there was an actual dude who did all this kinda design work. 2001, Alien, Space:1999. They also reference his stuff in "Moon"

Ron Cobb was the main (non alien) concept guy for Alien, don't think he had anything to do with 2001 though.

douglas trumbull was the main design/effects guy on 2001, and he also has credits on things like silent running, close encounters etc. as ledge sez, it was ron cobb who did most of the spaceship etc design on alien, w/ moebius designing things like the spacesuits.

The fingerprint's a nice touch. Very Blade Runner-snake scale.

Actually saying "unethical" was a bit much.

ya
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 17:50 (twelve years ago) link
Well let's assume the future was won by Randian acolytes and 'ethics' are an amusing thing people participate in reenactment societies for, like Civil War battles and the like.

Well, the look & feel of everything seems to be good, & the cast is good enough. I'm just hoping the script is good enough to warrant any fanboy hope(mine or others).
― Choad of Choad Hall (kingfish), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 14:29 (twelve years ago) link
I'm going to pretend it is just some sci-fi action movie and hope there aren't any noisy dudes sitting behind me snorting and stage whispering about some comic books or novelizations or whatever dot com theories around some detail in the backround in one frame of alien^3

Blame Lindelof.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 18 April 2012 14:48 (twelve years ago) link
I'm enjoying the fake commercials, but mostly because thy're content-free w/r/t the movie. I have the problem that I always do with trailers in that I usually enjoy the experience more having walked in without much foreknowledge.
― HE HATES THESE CANS (Austerity Ponies), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
the latest david commercial is p awesome. the TED talk was a little eye-rolling but still fun as a poitless teaser.

I still wonder a bit exactly how much they ARE giving away. I have this suspicion it's far less than it seems.
