there's a little bit of me this morning that admires it for its plotlessness and intense vapidity but i am not sure this is what the crew had in mind

there is a whole geometric space thing going on tbf, cars going left and right across the screen and helmets going up and down, some kind of theosophical treatise based on intersecting vertices

it was a nice touch to let that 10 year-old write the script tho, gave it an authentic fanboy vibe

xp re motion
i am gonna be watching out for left-right up-down action in sf films in future

you could say the same about minority report or the matrix or star wars, it's all running back and forth
― the late great, Sunday, 16 September 2012 18:42 (eleven years ago) link
like in minority report he's pretty much acting out the life of those balls in the maze in the auto scenes

i'm not even gonna touch the internal stupidities cos i assume this was not meant to have any resemblance to real human beings and the ways in which they may or may not behave, the people were just a convenient hook to hang all the hot helmeting action on

i stole idea from josh clovers matrix book but i mean early sci fi is all about *travel* in the same way horror is always about the body so it makes sense in a way. look at 2001.
not sure where stuff like i robot and ai fit in there though

i kept waiting for the story to start then it was over and our Joel was laughing at me as i sat there staring disbelievingly at the screen

I finally saw this on Friday. What a fucking stinker.
Also, I now see why Kate Dickie had so little dialogue in Red Road. She reminded me of that woman from Spatz and Mike & Angelo.

i wonder could this movie feasibly be re-edited not to be such complete shite, even if that required 5 mins of a blank screen with some sketchy voice-over narration round or about the time she goes all days of our lives with her wombhugger b/f or w/e
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 17 September 2012 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I think it would take some serious "restoration from damaged print of 100-year-old movie" title cards. "(Missing Scene [20 mins]...)"

hahah just paged back through the thread, i'd forgotten that chainsawsuit.com thing.
David: I have researched the historical significance of the name “Sisyphus.” He was a Greek figure, damned to repeat the folly of his past over and over as punishment.Dr. Falmouth: It’d be pretty ironic if the crew of our ship lived up to that namesake. Like if we each were the Sisyphus in our own story.David: It would be.Dr. Falmouth: That’s the name of our ship, too. Sisyphus.

scott's got a directors cut w/ 20 minutes of cut footage, I'm sure it'll be an improvement, also sure in 15 years this will be considered a scifi classic and y'all will be saying why didn't we listen to ed we're fools *sob*
― vincent black shadow giallo (Edward III), Monday, 17 September 2012 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i'd figured on the 20-30 mins for a director's cut, the question wasn't purely zingy tbf
in 15 years, the cut of this movie that was inflicted on us will be a whispered legend, a whispered tale told by broken former movie execs at the wrong parties. as to another cut, well who can say
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 17 September 2012 03:43 (eleven years ago) link
in 15 years this will be thought of the way we today think of Virus and Sphere

Oh god, I watched Sphere a couple weeks ago. It is very true to the Crichton book. Which is to say, the characters and dialogue suck and it's an irritating film. Makes Prometheus look.... better by comparison

good save

why would adding 20 minutes to a shitty movie improve it

10 mins of lindelhof being horsewhipped, 10 mins of ridley scott apologising, idk i could see it working
