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

Do whatever you can to see it in a theater with people

breaking news: kingfish advocates kidnapping itt

thursday night midnight in imax 3d one mile from my house, but looks like they're not doing presale? i can't take thursday AND friday off!

I'm on call for work until next tuesday, cinema will have to wait.

Note: I also heavily recommend seeing Cabin in the Woods

Prometheus is out in Belgium (and France and Switzerland) today! Except, I can't go see it b/c of this work/on call thing I got.

Today? WTF I'm buying a plane ticket.

otm: prepare the beer and waffles, I am coming for u, Belgium

i just realized how badly I want to see this

I hope the French screenings have a dedication to Moebius at the end

WTF @ Italy : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/releaseinfo

Full dubbing, I guess.

Why even bother, the torrent sites will have a dvd quality copy available for download by the time it hits theaters there.

but the Italian-Swiss get it a month earlier.

(no idea, this is what http://www.quizland.com/hiero.mv says it is)

That's not what I'm reading there but ok

"Everyone but Dr. Morbius will love it."

rotten tomatoes has it at 89% positive based on 9 reviews, but some of those "positives" are pretty carefully hedged
metacritic, otoh, has it scoring only 63 of 100 possible points based on 4 reviews
imdb hasn't opened it to user reviews

the B in IMDB doesn't stand for Belgium, then.

Gah. Removing bookmark from this thread.

Yeah, the reviews have been pretty mixed so far. To be honest, that's probably better for schmucks like me who let themselves get overhyped. Lowered expectations can be a good thing for movies like this.

Okay, Ponies is gone, what's the movie REALLY like?

"what may be most interesting about this particular campaign is the emphasis on reevaluating, or perhaps more to the point, demanding appreciation for Ridley Scott as an auteur—the sort of appreciation many cinephiles would be more willing to grant his brother, Tony."

what the shit, who the hell thinks this?

Tony Scott, darling of cinephiles

lol

Tony Scott, cinema's top gun

actually many cinephiles i know do sorta think this

you can certainly make way more of a case for TS in the last 25 years than his brother.

Holy crap - just going through the TV channels here and Club RTL (TV station from Luxembourg) is playing Alien at the moment. Notable details: there's a "HD" logo on screen (right next to RTL's logo) but this is the most low definition version I've ever seen, forget about the DVD and BluRay remaster/reissues, this looks hardly better than VHS. Oh, and it's dubbed in French. Oh, and in French, it's "Alien - Le Huitième Passager"

("the eighth passenger")

That's not what I'm reading there but ok

? those quotes from early reviews are hardly glowing, most of them are negative

Rorschach tomatoes

True enough. Over the weekend I was home; one evening my mom noticed Kingdom of Heaven was on and watched it, first time I'd seen it myself. It's technically accomplished, very well shot, but was otherwise felt pretty flat, besides Edward Norton acting behind a mask as a leper (so, a documentary).

"not as imaginative as Alien" is p damning from my chair
