They're Remaking 'Alien' -- the 'Prometheus' thread

I'll just start comparing it to Lisztomania

milton yr music post are one of the only reasons i keep reading ilm, so yr rabid enthusiasm for this piece of shit is just baffling to me - i mean, you were already REALLY reaching when you started comparing it to zulawski, never mind nigel kneale, or ken russell. ridley scott has never been in their league even when operating at his creative peak... 30 years ago! prometheus is just SUCH a lumpen hodgepodge of v v old and tired generic material - like, i recently saw Forbidden World, which is this great early 80s roger corman-produced Alien knock-off, and it's 100 times more lively fun. i guess i'm trying to say - prometheus is very very commonplace.

BTW - I do think Pandorum was better than this, although I understand it was generally panned? That's one where I could accept the "yeah, kinda corny, twists are obvious, but it's a fun dumb space action movie with some creepy monsters and attempts to mess with your mind, man" argument.

I remain with Milton/Edward on this one. I'm planning on getting the freakin' 4 Blu-Ray set when I can, I care not what you think.

that's a pretty fun SPACE MADNESS b-movie. not easily comparable.

I forgot about the "our DNA is identical," scene, seriously, it's like they just threw in every stupid wrong idea about science they could find. only thing this movie was missing was a geeky teenager to hack the alien ship

The right-before-credits reveal of the xenomorph-lookin' dude popping out of the engineer corpse has to be one of the most groanworthy moments of modern cinema

Also yeah this really should have been just replaced with the alien scene from spaceballs

dying at all these deleted scenes

delete scene where crew watches Alien and concludes that the takeaway is not to run after the ship's cat.

shit, "deleted"

it was so unrealistic that they went looking for the cat. god, stupidest ship mechanic EVER.

and in aliens, when the proximity sensor seems to indicate the aliens are inside the room but they're actually above the ceiling, does ripley not remember when they made the EXACT SAME MISTAKE in the first alien?? costing dallas his life?? guess what, life is in 3-D boneheads!

action movie cat is action movie cat
