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

FACT

Blu-ray in October with 15 minutes of deleted scenes, Scott commentary and ...er..text file of the script.

guys I preordered the blu-ray a month ago, so I can plan on a long fall/winter of coming home from the bar and chilling w/Prometheus before bed

I loved how predators had a serious 80s vibe going for it.. action film with a cadre of stereotypical international badasses going up against and being mercilessly slain by aliens

(spoilers)

Predators is totally rad

the 80s action movie vibe was the best thing about predators, totally won me over

Yes, that was the best thing about it.

the other best thing was how it always seemed like adrien brody's head was cgi-ed onto a strongman's greased-up body

Predators was solid, but it has nothing on the batshit entertainment value of Predator 2.

^this is literally the only thing i remember about predators. i will ride for alien vs predator though.

trejo should have played noomi rapace's character.

i dug that they were trying to do an 80s thing with predator, in theory, but it just felt like fanfic... plus adrien brody, are you kidding me? you replace SCHWARZENEGGER with ADRIEN BRODY!?!?!

like first rule of 80s badassery is cast an actual credible badass

[Dutch is talking to the General]
Dutch: So why don't you use the regular army? What do you need us for?
Dillon: 'Cause some damn fool accused you of being the best.
[Dutch turns around and sees Dillon sitting in a chair in another room]
Dutch: Dillon! You son of a bitch!
[They arm wrestle in mid-air during a handshake, Dillon is apparently losing the contest]
Dutch: What's the matter? The CIA got you pushing too many pencils? Huh? Had enough?
Dillon: Make it easy on yourself, Dutch.
[Dillon begins to lose further]
Dillon: OK, OK, OK!
Dutch: You never did know when to quit, huh?
Dillon: Damned good to see ya, Dutch.
Dutch: What is this fucking tie business?
Dillon: Aw, come on, forget about my tie, man.

the way he says "DEE-LON!" kills me

Early SCHWARZENEGGER accent is so good, once he was able to give convincing line readings in English but still so oddly emphasized

my friend, when he was working at the local community college's library for a short period actually created me a dummy library account with the name PLO CHOPS

Man, I want Carl Weathers in an Expendables movie

* The crab aliens are incredibly lethal when first encountered, yet at the first sign of hunger, Williams says he’ll just “grab and eat one of those crab aliens.”

If I'm being honest I want Carl Weathers in every movie.

The Space Jockey uses a fighting style that appears to be Muay Thai kickboxing. It's likely that the Space Jockey is in fact using an alien martial art that simply resembles Muay Thai kickboxing in every particular, or indeed that at some point in the past Space Jockeys visited Earth to teach humans Muay Thai kickboxing.

well placed!

talked to a friend about this movie on saturday night. he was genuinely surprised to learn that anyone thought there was anything silly or unreasonable about it. i forget that this is not the real world.

the world where prometheus is reasonable is the real world?

can't hear you s1ocki munchin on popcorn

I ended up seeing this in all 3 formats - IMAX 3D, 3D, and 2D

would've gone a 4th time at the local dollar cinema but it was gone in a flash

i don't know what to say to that

I think you can call yourself Edward IIID after that. xppst

I've streamed it 2x on some grainy Eastern Euro tripod cam bootleg... that has to count for something.

Would seriously consider watching this again in 3D

Would seriously consider watching this again in another dimension

where it's GOOD

i am sorry that you cant handle the AWESOMENESS of this AWESOME MOVIE

very few of us could apparently

would seriously consider watching this again with the stolen eyeballs of someone i hate

I would love to watch this movie again ... on mute with no subtitles

would seriously consider watching this again with the stolen eyeballs of someone i hate

I was about to post the Minority Report gif of Tom Cruise chasing eyeballs down a ramp, well played

Am buying this on Blu-ray. Was probably my fave summer movie.

I was totally on for seeing it again after I left the theatre. But then, you know.

I'd characterize my attitude as a grudging fondness, seeing it more than once took me from "ridiculous fail but beautiful and entertaining" to "hey there's a lot going on in here", if scott does a director's cut that smoothes out some of the wacky plot turns it would inch close to classic for me

also I've been o_O at the prospect of 3D TVs but this one makes me go hmmm

how would you guys compare it to original alien? for me it feels the new one has aged worse already.

I think it was clearly better than the original "Alien," because all that one offered was questions but this one finally offered some answers.

this part really bugs me in the original alien:

why do they need so many lights? new alien movie did not answer that question.
