Prometheus - Probably an Alien prequel, unless it isn't (it totally is)

    I think the only thing I'm worried about is losing some of the mystery of the space jockey. Like, if they try to explain too much about what its species is, and what connection they have to humanity. It's good for a ficitional world to have intentional 'gray areas', elements that are never fully resolved and thus make it more authentic. But I'm still cautiously optimistic.

    I bet that Space Jockey was the John Hammond of his people, and the eggs on board the ship were the raptors of his theme park. If he hadn't crashed, some other member of his species would be all, "You bred raptors xenos?!"

    Belated trailer thoughts:

    I never thought I would love a one minute long movie trailer

    I especially never thought a one minute long movie trailer would sell me on seeing a movie. Day one.

    Then I saw the Prometheus trailer. Holy shit.

    More like, the iconic Alien teaser paved the way for trailers to be all BOOONG BOOOONG BOOONG, and now Prometheus is paying homage to it.

    This looks like it could be pretty boss, prequel or no.

    But if there's no Sigourney Weaver cameo, I will be kind of disappointed.

    Hot damn! It is funny how they are trying to kill the link between Aliens and this movie yet even if you ignore the new news that Weyland is the owner of the Prometheus, you can't ignore the couple of scenes in the trailer that give it away. First is that there is a space jockey. What is a space jockey? Well one can be found briefly in the first movie in the ship that the crew of the Nostromo found on LV-426 and was the source of the distress call that led the crew of the Nostromo to their encounter with the Xenomorphs.

    Here is the space jockey in Aliens:

    And here is the one in the trailer:

    Also the rows of what looks kinda like cylinders reminds me a lot of the eggs that the face huggers came out of, only inorganic.

    Whoops, I'm way to tired to be posting this early at night, I missed the first couple of posts about the space jockey room.

    I saw Ghost Rider in 3D last week and there was this 10 year old kid who wouldn't shut up about every 3D trailer looking so cool

    We got the Prometheus trailer and he loudly proclaimed his standard response to his mother

    I really wanted to turn to him and tell him to go watch Alien and Aliens and then come back and tell me how much they fucked his world up

    Two weeks later, you get a letter in the mail, addressed to "That Ass From The Theater."

    Contained within is an invoice from a local child psychologist.

    Man, this could be good. No Russel Crowe, no wine, old man Scott talking about digital effects being not so good, clunky space suits.

    Went to see The Grey, and they showed this trailer straight after the one for The Devil Inside.

    Prometheus sent more shivers down my spine than anything else while I giggled at the latter.

    The Prometheus trailer is so good

    I think it's the music that makes it. That DUUUUMMM *scream!* DUUUUMM *scream!* combo just works

    re: the CGI discussion

    ridley scott already made blade runner aka the best looking movie ever made ever so

    that doesn't really have much to do with the CGI discussion actually, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that blade runner is the best movie ever

    Best looking ain't best.

    It's pretty as they come, but man. Deckard is a straight up chump.

    Someone wants to call it a good movie, fine. Great, I'll nod.

    Best, in a world with Casablanca, the Godfather, and Die Hard (oh, and Aliens, can't forget that.)?

    Yeah. Ain't happening.

    Minority for saying, as a movie, Casablanca is better than Blade Runner?

    Fine.

    I acknowledge it may be the prettiest movie ever. I'm not saying it's bad apart from that. I saw the Final Cut on a big screen and it was a great night.

    But I will go to my grave saying Deckard, unlike other Harrison Ford characters I could name, is straight up chumpsville.

    Deckard spends the entire movie drunk off his ass

    He has nothing to prove to you
