I approve Ridley Scott trying to scare me instead of put me to sleep as he has seemed so intent on doing of late.

Matchstick Men...in 3-D

hadn't this thread title been edited to point out that this is the 'Prometheus' thread earlier?

Sir Chips Keswick (Merdeyeux), Friday, 22 July 2011 20:57 (fourteen years ago)

It had, but then it hiccuped or something. Let me try again.

Charlize, earlier you joked about doing nudity in the film.

THERON: I wasn’t joking, gosh! I’m an Academy Award winner. I’m serious.

LINDELOF: Why would we ever joke about something like that?

Foster the People? More like Fester the Poophole! (latebloomer), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:02 (fourteen years ago)

“We begin at the beginning,” Lindelof said during a session with reporters before the film’s big Hall H panel presentation. “Ridley has been cryptically obtuse about everything, but there are some big ideas in Prometheus. It covers a vast expanse of time, past, present, and future.”

So it's now a remake of 2001?

Circlework de Soleil (S-), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:04 (fourteen years ago)

yeah it's a crossover. original it was called HALiens

Foster the People? More like Fester the Poophole! (latebloomer), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:06 (fourteen years ago)

seriously though it sounds like Mission to Mars with Giger monsters more than anything

i hope it's better than Hannibal.

piscesx, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:14 (fourteen years ago)

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.

its realy sad, it was a R.I.P. thread (kkvgz), Tuesday, 26 July 2011 00:55 (fourteen years ago)

Is that Boba Fett's ship?

mh, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 20:08 (fourteen years ago)

looks like a fancy codpiece or a bicycle seat

latebloomer, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 20:10 (fourteen years ago)

boba fett's ship was basically a repainted streetlight

nah, not an alien prequel in any way, no sir.

latebloomer, Monday, 1 August 2011 20:57 (fourteen years ago)

why do they hide these trailers when they've been shown in public? seems mad.

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.

one month passes...

not really feeling this fake ted talk /picky

goole, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:03 (fourteen years ago)

didn't watch it tbh. Not into that kind of viral marketing stuff

Number None, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:08 (fourteen years ago)

i dunno what guy pearce is doing, ted talks don't sound like the speeches from braveheart

goole, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:12 (fourteen years ago)

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?

Tuomas, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:27 (fourteen years ago)

gonna be a hell of a next 10 years

A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:28 (fourteen years ago)

Is the movie set in some alternate Earth?

No, it's a future documentary like all science fiction films

mh, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:30 (fourteen years ago)

the speed of quibbling doubles every 18 months

goole, Wednesday, 14 March 2012 17:31 (fourteen years ago)

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.
