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

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.

Those lights showed that the ship was thinking. New movie better because it didn't waste all that time/lights thinking.

ok ridley scott i fixed it for you. now remove those lights!

yeah alien that piece of shit was such shit

I wish computers were covered in lights. It looks so much cooler.

original alien: sigourney in mechanics garb
new alien: charlize in ugg boots

i guess i see the appeal of the original but i think i'd buy the blu-ray of the new one

ugg life

Hate you guys

that skintight pants / ugg boots combo made the movie imo

more questions (i.e. why didn't they use this fifield instead of the shit one?)

iirc this design was rejected because they wanted it to still resemble fifield, so the crew would know it was him when he returned to the ship. agree it's a pretty badass monster, they coulda just given it a red fauxhawk or something.

Looks like late-era Jason Vorhees.

Space meth is a helluva drug

weird the way his teeth became worn as he decayed, as though he were an aging ruminant

That's pretty cool.

that was the biggest pile of fucking wank i've ever watched

glorious pile of fucking wank

posts very much in noodle

noodles very much in character

is this on dvd yet

2 hour documentary about taking helmets on and off

xpost: thomp, October 11 dvd release

there's a little bit of me this morning that admires it for its plotlessness and intense vapidity but i am not sure this is what the crew had in mind

"it's a film about nothing!"

"oh good, they're driving back to those caves again"

there is a whole geometric space thing going on tbf, cars going left and right across the screen and helmets going up and down, some kind of theosophical treatise based on intersecting vertices

it was a nice touch to let that 10 year-old write the script tho, gave it an authentic fanboy vibe

that is in every scifi movie though

xp re motion

i am gonna be watching out for left-right up-down action in sf films in future

you could say the same about minority report or the matrix or star wars, it's all running back and forth

like in minority report he's pretty much acting out the life of those balls in the maze in the auto scenes

i'm not even gonna touch the internal stupidities cos i assume this was not meant to have any resemblance to real human beings and the ways in which they may or may not behave, the people were just a convenient hook to hang all the hot helmeting action on

Love you guys

fifield hung someone on a literal hook iirc

this was crap

i stole idea from josh clovers matrix book but i mean early sci fi is all about *travel* in the same way horror is always about the body so it makes sense in a way. look at 2001.

not sure where stuff like i robot and ai fit in there though

i kept waiting for the story to start then it was over and our Joel was laughing at me as i sat there staring disbelievingly at the screen
