Prometheus II: Duometheus

i dunno that the Ridley thing is a shock because the quality of his output has been...not great? (i say this as a massive Kingdom of Heaven apologist)

I just hope we find out that his Exodus movie is also an Alien prequel

Maybe they'll make it with no sound this time so we can just admire Ridley's space-pretty

Basically if this is to be any good (it won't be obv) it has two options: go the full-on sci-fi horror route or take the lazily invoked religious hooha from Prometheus one and push it to the extreme (i.e. GIMMME GIGER PLANET RULED BY TALKING ZARDOZ HEAD WITH VAGINA MOUTH)

prometheus vs predator

discussing this with my son the other day but we thought Fassbender was going to duck out and we came up with excellent ditch-the-head storylines, anyhoo the upshot was on the one hand i wanna see this in the cinema to get the full blast of hilarity but on the other hand i don't think anybody shd be encouraging this tool by giving him more money

I dunno, I would be happier if Scott keeps on making incoherent-but-gorgeous hot sci-fi messes like Prometheus rather than the boooring historical epics he's been churning out since the 90s.

Don't forget him being inexplicably racist against robots!
In a movie with a lot of stupid things in it that character and fake Tom Hardy's performance were probably the most ill-conceived. Like I can take the rest as a gorgeous dumbass genre movie but that character really, really grates.

i think that after all this time people with all sorts of attitudes to the movie are still in this thread marvelling at how unbelievably stupid it is, is testament to how unbelievably fucking stupid it is

"We did 121 hours of Lost. Arguably only 15 to 20 of them were subpar, bordering on turds. It would be great to pretend those episodes never happened, but I love the fact that we're still talking about Nikki and Paulo," Lindelof told Esquire.
"Sometimes the mistake, the thing that wasn't good, is the thing that's really part of the legacy of a show like ours."

only 15 to 20, more or less an entire season, almost turds but arguably not turds

I really liked Prometheus. I watched five times in the first month after I saw it. I would still sit down and watch it any time. I found out from some Cracked article that pedants hated it for pedantic reasons and so I am choosing not to read this thread.

i just watched this again. it's great! i think someone on this thread said that they liked the way it smushed together a bunch of different types of horror movie-that's what i like the most about it. the scene where the lil proto-facehugger kills the two guys is so great. it's a type of scene that's in every monster movie ever-human discovers monster, monster shows what it can do-and the execution is perfect. there's just something about the tempo of it. the way the gruesomeness ramps up so fast, cramming so many horrible things-having a creature tighten itself on you. getting your arm broken, getting attacked by something, being suffocated, having a hostile entity invade your body, having plastic melt onto your face, having something forced down your throat-into a 30-second span but making it feel organic and scary. and then i love the way you don't find out what exactly happened to them for awhile.
