Re: Prometheus Sequel : Paradise?
Can you not just watch ALIEN and appreciate it on it's own merits as a stand alone. Even though they tried to connect the AVP to ALIEN, I don't consider it canon at all and just look at them as separate entities. Could you not do the same for Prometheus?
*puts on angel face* Its an effort to save the studio money; they took a shellacking on the original film, and I think they should quit throwing good money after bad. If they want to simply waste a bunch of cash, they could send it to me and I will put it to better use.
But seriously, the original film is hopelessly borked, and even Hollywood's best and brightest cannot find their way out of Lost Boy's cinematic morass. Do you honestly think anything else good is going to come out of it at this point?
Much of my ire for the original is bound up in the fact that they ruined the greatest teaser in all of science fiction, the Space Jockey, by turning him into just a big human in a suit. Anyone studying the original Giger sculpt can see that that idea was hogwash.... and now they done gone and broke the whole concept. Goodbye, original mysterious Space Jockey.
Some ideas belong dead.
