Hannibal was one of the least bad of his recent films
Still can't re-watch it due to a couple scenes making me want to vomit and have nightmares, though.

The Predators didnt create the aliens. The space jockey’s created the Aliens as a weapon or they were mearly collectors of them to use as a weapon. It’s conflicting in the literature. They would drop them onto a planet to wipe out indigenous life and would then come back to kill off all of the aliens using sonic weapons. That space jockey ship in Alien was one of their offensive drop ships. The Predators simply use the Aliens as a means to have something to hunt. They would drop a few eggs down, wait, then go hunt. An alien queen kill is I believe the greatest trophy in their culture.

Pretty sure that removing the unheimlich mystery from the space jockey and the derelict can only be a bad thing but yeah I can't help but feel a little bit stoked either.

I don't get the Guy Pearce thing, according to it the movie takes place in the 2020s? And we're supposed to have interstellar space travel and cyborgs by then? Is the movie set in some alternate Earth?

Given the context of the fake page hosting it, I think the TED talk video is supposed to be around fifty years before the 'now' of Prometheus, so there you go.

― Carlos Pollomar (WmC), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:32 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah the TED talk is Weyland talking about THE FUTURE and in the actual film there's an android
― mh, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
Ah okay, so Pearce will be an android in the movie? Makes sense.
I just read the movie's synopsis on IMDb:
A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe.
Since the Aliens are bioweapons engineered by the Space Jockeys, the big reveal in this movie must be that humans were bioengineered by them as well, right? Hence the title "Prometheus" (and its allusion to Frankenstein and various other creating-life stories).
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
nah, Fassbender is the android, I think
― mh, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
ugh that would kind of suck, i always liked the idea of them just being random lifeforms we (and the space jockeys) were unlucky enough to come across
