"Prometheus"
 
This is the space jockies!
What was seen in "Alien" is a space suit.

I hate movies were humans can fly to the stars and then walk into the most simple of traps. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ons/icon13.gif

IIRC Ebert and Roeper both hated it too. They disliked it for different reasons--flawed cinematography, silly costumes, recycled plot, heavyhanded symbolism, and something called mise-en-scene--but both agreed it had "too many niggers."
lol

Ebert actually said it had "too few niggas" - get it right http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/mad.gif

(FWIW, he also gave the movie 4/4)

Wait, the movie is actually good? WTF?
Why wouldn't it be? It's Ridley Scott revisiting his best movie ever and starring Charlize Theron and Michael Fassbender. It'd take some effort to make that truly suck.

Technically so does the title "Alien" http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Oh, but they make that effort! Jesus H. Christ it's bad. As far as I can tell, the premise is that, 50 years before we fly to the stars to seek an alien race, somehow our collective unconscious is wiped clean of all memories of science fiction narratives. Among the many amazing things we then have to learn anew are (and I don't thing these are spoilers, per se):

1) Landing in one valley on a planet and not seeing anyone there does NOT mean the planet is uninhabited.
2) If you're stuck in an enormous structure for a while, and one part of it has a whole bunch of dead bodies piled up, that is NOT the one place you should decide to hunker down.
3) If you are a biologist and encounter an alien life form that you describe to your ship's crew as "four feet long, reptilial, with translucent skin," your first instinct should probably not be to try to play with it.
4) The creepy robot seems creepy for a reason.

That's just the idiocies. Don't even get me started on how bad the script is overall or how inane the whole premise is. Seriously, if you want to see "Prometheus" and your girlfriend wants to see "What to Expect When You're Expecting," just take her suggestion and use it as a bargaining chip for something new to do in bed after; you'll get better sex AND a better movie.

Comparison time - what did you think of "The Avengers"?
Best movie so far this year.

the repetitive blaring sound like an ambulance or prison break

I just mute the damn things if the remote is close

Well screw you guys, I thought it was great! An excellent mystery sci-fi. Kind of reminded me of Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama, well, you know, if there was looming killer aliens in the background.

Hudson Hawk is an entertaining movie. http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

I can only assume that she doesn't bare her chest like she does in "Reindeer Games"

Cemeuncex 06-13-2012 05:05 PM

Ratings wise, Prometheus beats Hudson Hawk and Deep Blue Sea pretty handily, however:

Hudson Hawk (22%):

Deep Blue Sea (57%):

Prometheus (73%):

No rah, but she did expose more than she did here in the Snow White/Huntsman movie

occalmnab 06-14-2012 05:43 PM

sounds like someone made ancient aliens into a movie

I'd rather see a movie taking us back in time to the first civilizations and show the aliens running the world

What part of Charlize Theron did you not understand?
