dude, did you see Bio's video?

2:08 contains information from both scenes, I can see the full figure earlier in it's leap. I went over the possibilities to myself when I first posted the slow video in November. I deliberately left out mention of it in the Video Recap post because I could not figure out exactly what is going on. The closest I have come is that it is some sort of tentacle maybe on the side of the head of one of these serpent like structures. [img]http://www.heroesandhellions.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Prometheus-Space-Jockey-Cockpit.jpg[/img] Notice the one on the right has the white grayish color that resembles the tentacle.

Sparky, I did I stopped it right at 2:07-2:08. Right above the person's waist is a different screen as it transitions to the jump shot. I sectioned it out blew it up til it was blocks and did a half assed outline in Paint. I can see what he is talking about its jsut hard to work over what he did with the bulky red outline. It was a good attempt, tho. But I think you'll see more of what he is talking about with my adjustment that I got in place from BM's video. Now I can't get into photobucket to upload the new screenshot. Rick

To me it looks like a xeno half emersed in a flame. Makes sense with the flame thrower shots in the trailer and the leaked video just prior.

I am still in such deep thought looking at the new image and the entire platform on that side of where the Jockey would be if popped up.

Sparky did you notice how the center hatch (for lack of a better word) looks more like clay than the rest of the platform? Its a completely different pattern.

we deeeeeply need that other trailer version ... they left out the most juicy shoots 1) the tentacle scene ...one of the most horrifyng things everrrr 2) the face emerging from darkness ... a cat ? a monster ? a protoalien ???? PAris Hilton ?? 3) the guy flaming an advancig thing ... a xeno ??? shaw's son ?? a queen ????a predator ?? jokes apart ..that 3 scenes would be greatly appreciated ...

@Biomechanic, Excellent! I have not seen that before! But you kow what??? After viewing that Slow motion the first time I thought.. damn.. But its to coincidental.. After viewing several times.. I'm going to have to stick to my guns. Below is the first edit. You can see the xeno head... and no it's not smoke.. it's another tail. You can see the start of the man below the head. [img]http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1331/serpentlast.jpg[/img] Here is the next image.. Another edit they added more.. or its right after the image above. [img]http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/4485/xenomanoriginal.jpg[/img] Here are outlines.. [img]http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/9614/xenoman.jpg[/img] With this and what LHeureux stated.. with the xeno pipes then the back of the head... its obvious! The trailer was laced to hide what you saw.. so you don't know what you are really seeing. AND.. I still can be wrong.. but its a Xeno!

lol you guys found some really weird thing, I think there's a black normal xenomorph close to the camera, and in the background there would be a guy jumping with some kind of xeno head.

Aww how adorable!! Lil facehuggy feeding the baby with xeno dna, yummy

Guys it's clear now, there's 2 frame mixed out. The one with the man jumping at 2:06 on the video here : http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/?action=view¤t=10percent.mp4 Is mixed with the other frame where we see the kind of white worm. Also forget about my first theory, my Xeno head is just a part of the structure we see where the humanoid jumps at 2:07, it's just mixed because the trailer used some kind of fade-out effect. So no xeno I think.

Well, if you pay attention to the very last frame, you see the shadow of the Xeno... I didn't see the tail and the head by the worm, but in the last fram, that shadow clearly looks like a Xeno!

I picked up the Anthology blu-ray box set from HMV in the UK for £18 last week! Not watched it yet though. Don't have a blu-ray player but use my PS3 instead. Don't think you need any extra cables through that...

Hey Ruh, When I wrote “Redrum”…I meant “murder”…as in THE SHINING. Anyways, it’s a fictional story that takes place in the L.A./Laurel Canyon rock and roll scene…as I grew up around some of that stuff when I was a kid. So, all of the characters are fictional, but I think that setting that I’ve written is pretty historically accurate and authentic regarding ’73 and ’74...Raunchy…very raunchy. Nobody really uses that word anymore...huh? Except for me…I like it. Keep on truckin’! ~N

P.S. Ruh, I think that the mystery of Dyatlov Pass could make a pretty badass film...if handled right. Especially in regard to the radioactive corpses found... as I begin whistling the X FILES theme...Oooooooh Scary cool... ~N

Yes Neurion, Raunchy is used still today it just doesn't have the same vulgar meaning as it used to. Isn't it a brand of unwashed underwears? I think your on to something there man! Oh I know what ya meant about the the "Redrum"' but I still don't drink it... I'd sooner suck on the devils bong! Just can't wait to get on that highway! Hey how about a version of Dyatlov Pass with a bunch of truckers that get blasted by some aliens cause they pissed them off with their Redneck ways? I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if they started shooting their shotguns while totally recked on BUD at some UFO's with death rays from hell? BBQ anyone for Salty and sweet you are what you eat, pulled rotisserie! RUHs

@Ruhaniya I like it…It’s like Russian Rednecks meet DELIVERENCE meets SOUTHERN COMFORT meets…extraterrestrials. Time to bust out the Russki snow bangos… ~N

LOLooollloo, ding dag ga ding a ding dong! We called that "moonshining". Where the red rum gives ya a good ZAP! Uh Huuun! We ain't gona get probed by no aliens with a bottle of this crap! and Jesus!

As Alf...or Frantz might say...HA!

@ Neurion, Ricks havin self a Gaggle o Xenos. Which I think is Russian for"If you drink it, you will die!" Ever used Mentos as mouth wash? it's the fresh maker...add Vodka and your getting laid and then you die! I 'm gona go take my meds now.

Dont go in the woods!

Nice shot of the reticuli system

nice! thanks for posting them!

Nice one! Thanks for the up Sparky. That would make one sick ass poster!

I've always been amazed at how advanced Ash was as a droid. It was one of the very few things in Alien that didn't 'compute'. I mean considering they were using wrenches to repair the ship and the computers looked like modern day 1970's gear. I speculated elsewhere on this site that Ash may be technologically advanced because android David comes into contact with the Engineers and is partially transformed or 'improved' by what ever it comes into contact with and lives to be examined by Weyland.

micro changes in air density my ass... anyway I quite liked the fact that Ash was so human..imagine if he played the droid part in the expected rigid machine like manner...While it would be more accurate technically, there seems to be something even more realistic about him playing the role in a short tempered and irritable manner.. I think basically by 2050 they have mapped the human brain and can produce it synthetically, even the internal organs with the exception of the white blood...It's sort of an alternative synthetic way to create a self consious being..I think humans give themselves too much credit, creating something self conscious and can learn is just a matter of arranging the right parts and having the right depth of complexity

you will never be able to do a coscience from syntetic things ....you have always to start from genetic matter ...you can do a fake brain but it will never have self awareness ... however you will be able to do something that will "resemble" a brain and something that will act more or less like a human ...but will be never a "living thing" ...will be just a "thing" Ash is only a "machine" ..with no coscience , no fear ( if you dont say him to act like it have fear ) but so perfect that he look like human . You can put you grandfather to play Half life 2 and tell him that Alyx is a your friend that play from japan ...he will belive it for some hours .

@ Micro, Interesting idea: "Ash may be technologically advanced because android David comes into contact with the Engineers and is partially transformed or 'improved' by what ever it comes into contact with and lives to be examined by Weyland. "

i dont think they will use an actor like Fassbender to do something robotic/retarded

[quote]How do they make them appear so damned human? To me, that is as amazing as anything else. I don't think humans would be that technologically advanced in the year portrayed. Anyone else have thoughts on this?[/quote] I totally loved Stan Winston's work in "A.I." in this regard, and although I never liked this kid since I guessed 3 minutes into "The 6th Sense" what the end of that film was because of his own over the top acting at the beginning of that film....the little boy David Android was 100% of Remarkable to me, I mean the way they portrayed him, and the other androids...and in particular there was a female android at the beginning of that film can't recall her name just now but she is told to undress by "The Professor" and I was sitting there in complete anticipation like an angst filled teenage boy of seeing her naked and instead, her head opens up and she is reveled to be a completely mechanical ROBOT. Later on In the Jail cells at the "Flesh Fare" we even see one Bio-Mechanical robot constructed in Stan Winston's own image...as if the man knew he as going to die soon after and wanted to leave behind a legacy Robot Portrayal of himself. The Robots in that scene alone were more lifelike than any others I have ever seen anywhere in anything at all !!! A Lot of this, the remarkable life like appearance of them I think has to do with just how many technological advancements have come to pass in the field of Robotics in the past 2 decades. Good Point man, they are in fact doing some remarkable things in this regard.

Frantz I'm not saying David is retarded as an android. If Scott sticks to his usual eye for detail David will surely be lest sophisticated than Ash, being developed long before Ash. I'm just considering how this might be handled in the movie. A way to do this would be to introduce an 'older model' which might be more mechanical based in design and consider David to be the first of a new line of synthetics resulting in Ash.

Hey Guys, What would you guys like to know about Robot's? I program machines for a living. Mostly coordinate measuring machines and their are several types of programing depending on brand and model. I also program laser and whitelight scanning machines that have remarkable ability to instantly guess item orientation and match Scan data to CAD data very acurately. I could see there being humanoid robots in a 200 year future. Facial Recognition and Biometrics is prevalent everywhere, today. The problem is landscape mapping of an ever changing environment, data storage of that environment and then the robot OS knowing what parts of the landscape to drop from memory as randomness and which to keep along with the OS having the ability to instantly access that data. This is way beyond our ability until we get into cellular data process mapping technology which is still a long way off. Regards, Rick

the part about accessing the data randomly and in and out of sequence and exchanges with Humans and their environment has got to be near impossible to achieve !!!

yes micro i agree regarding the time elapsed ...what i wanted to mean is that they will spare fassbender of some "robot" cliches . Fassbender is good giving very human performances , very charismatic ..im curious how it will work out . Thank you Rick to have carried back the robotics discussion on a realistic level :p

Not really its just image data process mapping, data correlation and image recognition of its environment taking place simultaneously. CPU's are nearing the ability to calulate as fast as the human brain. I would give it another 50 years and we'll be there. The issue arises from accessing huge and I mean huge amounts of complex data instantly. Think back to Win'95 it came on 28 floppies or 1 CD and ran on 486 33Mhz CPU. in less than 20 years we're 100 times faster and 4-8MB of RAM was fricken flyin. Hell my e-mails at work are a half a MB. Think in another 20 eyars we'll be runnign Computers that are atleast 3Thz.

They'll also probably be runnign organic CPU's since we're are nearing the limits of our silicon technology.

Grrrreat, I could use one of those... 156 Days 55 minutes and 43 seconds Until The 9 PM Showing of Prometheus In 3D in Montreal hopefully on an "IMAX" screen too !!!
