Like I'll see it on a shelf at Target and think, "Oh, hey, Prometheus, what's up . . . WAIT DO NOT TALK TO ME I AM STILL REALLY PISSED AT YOU."

I missed the whole beginning though; caught up with them when they got to the planet and shit started going down

I told mr Veg I want to get the bluray and rewatch it with the sound off just to enjoy how nice it looked...but I'm still too upset

Charlize Theron was so ANGRY in this, it was awesome

loved it when she set that dude on fire

The beginning w/the Fassbender robot just thinking about things is my favorite part. xxp

I have twice managed to turn to the movie just as Charlize is threatening to unplug Fassbender

I want a prequel to the prequel that is just david putzing around on earth with vickers coming in every once in a while to throw him around the room

I love Charlize in everything though. I watched Snow White and the Huntsman the other week and she was so great I ended very disappointed that she didn't succeed in murdering Kristen Stewart. xp

The last of the famous international Greyjoys (Nicole), Thursday, 25 April 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link

hahaha that was our exact reaction to Snow White and the Huntsman (ps we saw that in the theater)

Call me at **BITCOIN (DJP), Thursday, 25 April 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link

we also spent a lot of time making Jon HUNTSMAN jokes

Call me at **BITCOIN (DJP), Thursday, 25 April 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link

I mean, Kristen Stewart is such a mumbling neurasthenic that I can't see how anyone could possibly root for her. Deliciously evil kickass magic Queen ftw.

The last of the famous international Greyjoys (Nicole), Thursday, 25 April 2013 19:05 (eleven years ago) link

my favorite part of prometheus is still when the alien dude rips off the android's head and clubs the old man to death with it

mh, Thursday, 25 April 2013 19:07 (eleven years ago) link

haha yes that was also great

It was. But she DIDN'T SET THE MOVIE ON FIRE.

Ha ha, this movie.

I wish Snowwhite and the Huntsman was Kristen Stewart and a giant hunstman spider

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 25 April 2013 19:53 (eleven years ago) link

I played the huntsman in our town panto and i still regret not killing snow white one night just to see

haha i was so mad about this movie but it seems to have been righty consigned to oblivion so i can safely just forget about it

Sources close to the sequel have told Bloody Disgusting that the studio and (Ridley) Scott are literally “freaking out” over how to continue the story of Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), and are taking pitches from basically anyone who can crack the story*.

OK, while i feel ILX would have a lot to offer them on this, this story seems kind of like a bunch of nonsense. Would it really be that big of a problem? Or, like, worse than the problems plaguing the movie they just made?

Was hoping the URL indicated an article titled "Is The Prometheus Sequel Stalled Out Just Because Nobody Wants To See A Sequel To Prometheus?"

Doctor Casino, Friday, 26 April 2013 04:47 (eleven years ago) link

how do you do a movie with an ending where they're like "we're going to the alien planet now, look out for the sequel!" and not have any idea how to do the sequel, i just can't

we're up all night to get (s1ocki), Friday, 26 April 2013 04:51 (eleven years ago) link

omg guys this can be like a New Yorker cartoon caption competition

Gukbe, Friday, 26 April 2013 04:51 (eleven years ago) link

just make it about going to the alien planet and fighting more of those dudes, how hard is it

we're up all night to get (s1ocki), Friday, 26 April 2013 04:51 (eleven years ago) link

Would be cool if ridley scott is just faking writer's block to avoid making this movie.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 26 April 2013 04:55 (eleven years ago) link

There are so many ways to continue this story, to varying degrees of bullshit.

Like, just have whatshername's ship crash back on that planet, with the alien and Fassbender's head, then have someone come to rescue her and here we go again.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 26 April 2013 05:12 (eleven years ago) link

Give it to james cameron

Oh...?

I just don't get how, after this movie, which sucked and makes no sense, they'd be stumped with a follow-up. Here are some other ideas that would be just as good:

Charlize survived and develops a rapport with the alien

-girl survivor turns into a space giraffe, aliens put her in a zoo

-Alien morphs into a human and runs for president

-God intervenes, is impregnated by alien, gives birth to alien god

-Survivor ship lands on Mars, finds the planet is already populated by an army of Davids, who have been terrforming Mars and carving out rivers. And alien falls into the river, turning it into an alien river. Then we find out this was centuries ago, and Mars is an infected alien planet, but contemporary earth was interested in going to Mars, but oh no! don't go to Mars, it is an alien planet ruled by an alien god! Turn back! No! Agggghhhh!

I actually think this movie has the potential to end depression.
