Official "Ridley Scott's Prometheus" Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

Glad it wasn't though. It's nice sitting through a film without kids running up and down the aisles to the toilet every 5 minutes.

Ridley himself said the film was not very violet or bloody; and really it wasn't.

Spoiler

It was the themes and ideas within the film that earned it an R rating. I assume he refers to the premise of the Space Jockeys being our creator; it wasn't subtle it was central to the story. The studio probably thought kids/teens would grow up believing in Space Jockeys as their god, so they opted to give it an R rating.

Good choice because most younger viewers would not have understood the film.

I think this movie pretends to be intelligent in order to make dumb cinema goers feel they are more intelligent.

There is NOTHING deep in this movie. The conversations with Ridley Scott ABOUT the context/subtext of the movie are thought provoking,
but it ends there unfortunately.


It's a trashy sci-fi movie, unless you are 12 years old and wear black nail varnish.


I still love it though...

you say trashy but you love it,...looks intelligent just for dumb folks and nothing deep but is thought provoking...?...LOL

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

The thing is David might not be a Soulless being, it's only assumed he is by humans, it appears he is hurt every time somebody just regards him as nothing more than a robot, what is a soul anyway, we might be no more than biological robots ourselves, pre-programmed by our DNA? Also he likes Lawrence of Arabia because Peter Weyand admires T.E Lawrence, and all of David's actions are directed by Weyland in his sleep chamber.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread

No I said Ridley Scott's interviews about the subject matter of the movie were thought provoking. Where did we come from, where are we going when we die etc?
However they forgot to actually deal with any of that in the movie itself.

I think the script for the actual movie asks little, answers nothing and is engaging, beautifully made trashy sic-fi.

I love trashy sci-fi.

Funniest paragraph in this and sort of spot on.

I wish we had seen David ask for a coca cola in the film.

Re: Prometheus - Spoiler thread!

On a good screen, yes. Maybe yes even on a smaller screen. I'm not sure where you're going to see it at, go see it in 3D and then let me know if it was worth it.

I don't want to look through the thread because I haven't seen this yet. Is the 3D worth it?

IMAX or regular version yes....not regular 3D... JMHO

I don't have an IMAX anywhere near me, so I'll probably just see it in 2D then. I know Avengers was pretty dark at my theater in 3D.

I'm still Especially at the spot-on nicknames like "Missy Opossum" and "Tom Hardy" (I was actually thinking during the film, "Wow, this guy is like Tom Hardy without the talent or likeability.")

Not even remotely funny, even if I hated the film. I'm so glad he had fun trashing it though, that's what's important - trashing things.

He's a made up character who can trash any movie

Here is his Terminator 2 "Review"

I looked to see if he did one on Sucker Punch.

Victims of Rape Have Very Sexy Fantasies: Sucker Punch

Rape is all about power. Victims often find solace in a psychological fantasy land where they regain power over men by looking really sexy while they dance. But as they dance men stare at their ****ies, which is an eye rape. So in their sexy dancer fantasy, they find solace in an even deeper psychological fantasy land where they look more sexy and kill robots, robotic Nazis, and baby dragons. You didn't know this before, but everyone knows it now.

Yeah, he does it for every movie. It's a gag. He finds faults and blows them up and finds plot holes and makes them huge gaping wounds, but does it in a tongue-in-cheek way. I dig it, even when he "trashes" movies I like.

And I don't dislike Prometheus. I just don't think it's particularly very good and has way more problems than a movie of this caliber and pedigree should have. But instead of raging about it, I'd rather have a laugh at it, like "Sam Strange".

And you know I did the Sucker Punch quote because I know you like that movie, I did it only in jest. Honest
