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

[Rorywan]

You've got to be joking. I guess you're talking about me mostly, right? I go from being trolled by just about everyone in this thread, to being labeled a "bully".

You've even started bashing the movie in other threads, so for the life of me I can't figure out why you still bother to visit this one.

Then we'd have to ignore 95% of the board. And most of them aren't "stating their opinions". They come in to bash the movie and provoke the fans. Simple as that.

"THEY"? "Come in here" your language is just hilarious and very telling. Do you own this thread? Is this your Prometheus Cheerleader Thread? No.

This isn't a thread for only for fans of the Prometheus movie, it's a thread about the movie? I have only posted in here a few times, I love the movie but have no problems pointing out what i genuinely consider major flaws. That's MY opinion, and get this.. It's just as valid as yours. But I've come here often to read pages and pages of you and a couple of others attacking, knocking and troll calling anyone who disagrees with your view of the movie.

We all have a right to like, love or hate a movie, how dare you think you have the right to silence other freaks. You cannot seem to grasp that somebody else might not like the movie? That they have to be wrong. That you have to tell them they are wrong.

Which to me, reads as either (A) immaturity, (B) sociopathic behaviour or (C) genuine trolling.

For gods sake, give it a rest, respect other people opinions, stop slagging off anyone who says a bad word against it.

Do I think you are a bully? No, you are not taken seriously enough to be considered a bully.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ Agreed....

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

No.

They can state whatever opinion they'd like to and if it differs from yours you can (and this is a wild idea) ignore them completely.

You have to be bleepin' kidding me!

Just let the trolls keep on trolling after they make the same point over and over and over.....and people are just supposed to ignore them? What type of logic is this?

A MOD came into this thread (Adoptedscot) and actually said this......

Charlize is gorgeous, Prometheus prequel..sequel..whatever it is, is crap. There I said it (imo)

Here's some friendly advice for you DarthNeil. Another board member a while back said the same thing in another movie thread....."crap" and didn't offer up any reasons.

Do you know what happened next? Dave Stephens, your boss, came in there and posted something to the following effect......Instead of just saying crap, why don't you offer up some constuctive criticism, tell us why you didn't like it and contribute to this thread.

Sure DarthNeil, I'll just continue to ignore those that say "crap" and bug out. *eye roll*

I just wish Riddle-y Scott added a nod to predators in the next sequel, Maybe a predator mask left behind somewhere or a recording of Engineers being attacked by predators. Doesn't have to be big but I wish there was at least a little nod. Even if it was a couple of seconds.

I love Predator, but I respectfully do not want this to happen.

Take a few deep breaths before you hyperventilate.

Ignore comments that annoy. Don't engage people who merely want to get under your skin. Trolls (and trolling) will be dealt with. And if you continuously eye roll you'll get a headache.

They meaning the people who have nothing to contribute to this thread other than "PROMETHIUS IS TEH SUCKSORZZ". How hard is that to understand?

What an absolute blatant lie. No you haven't, because that's never happened.

I have no quarrel with anyone who didn't like the movie.

We all have a right to like, love or hate a movie, how dare you think you have the right to silence other freaks. You cannot seem to grasp that somebody else might not like the movie? That they have to be wrong. That you have to tell them they are wrong.

Are you kidding me? I think I have the right to silence other freaks? Have you read any of my posts? I DON'T CARE if you liked the movie or not. If you didn't like the movie, come in here and share your thoughts and complaints with the film.That's absolutely fine. I have been completely for that since the beginning. We're not all the same, we don't all like the same things.

What aggravates me is when some ****** bag comes in here and calls the movie "garbage" or whatever else, and doesn't give any reason why they dislike the movie. And then they stick around for pages and pages, insulting the very few of us who like the movie. And of course if I dare defend myself they become the victims and I'm a "bully".

Now how many times have you insulted me in this single post?

Ahh yes, the sarcastic DarthNeil comes out. I've seen posts like this from you too before. Perhaps it's just best to ignore you.

Aliens and Predators don't belong in the same universe. Clearly. They had they chance, they blew it.

Keep that **** out of these movies.

I think you are confused, or maybe not at all self aware. And yes I understand perfectly. You attack anyone who disagrees with you or knocks Prometheus, to deny that in here at this point is ridiculous, and embarrassing for you. Since its all here in plain view for everyone to read.

A troll who does not know it is a troll, how very post modern.

It's really fun to discuss Prometheus when people are respectful and don't resort to personal insults. My friends and I have had many conversations about the movie and our respective theories about what happened and what might come about in Prometheus 2. It's quite enjoyable. You should try it some time.

I've said it before but I would love to see an AvP: Prey film. If it's handled with care by talented professionals, I think it could be extraordinary.

 

[CelticPredator]

It will never happen. Fox won't allow there to be a good film that has anything to do with an Alien or a Predator. It's a sad fact.

I've been trying and so has Khev with some of his interesting theories but when you have 4-6 good posts in a row, someone comes in with hate without any other contribution and this place becomes a cesspool.

My take on it is to just keep going on with the good conversation you're having. Crazy people on the internet usually go away if they're ignored and don't get the attention they're looking for. Easier said than done, I know, and you can't force people to refrain from responding to negative/disrespectful posts, but I just ignore most posts that annoy me, and it makes this place a much more enjoyable place to be for me, at least.

That's not entirely true. 1979, 1986, 1987, 1990.

I'm not giving up hope though, obviously, since I thought Prometheus was a great film.

Not to linger on the subject too much, but this is exactly how it usually plays out.

It's true now. There hasn't been a GOOD SOLID Alien or Predator film since the 80's. Which is just....really sad.

Are there any good/decent short films made that you can recommend in either universe?
