@Snorklebottom Right…back then, this was a popular approach or style, used by the likes of Amsel and Drew Stuzan…though they were much better...and real pros. Every other movie poster, TV guide cover, and mag had a similar look. So, I kinda fell into that pop-art trap in my late teens…instead of developing a more unique and personalized style…back then anyway. Still, I love a lot of the work from that era. Now everything is photos and photoshopped. Thanks for the compliment. N

Thanks Frantz! Do you have any Alien art you could post...or just work you could post on the community boards? I'd like to see some from your Italian point of view. N

reminds me of a magazine i used to get over here when i was a kid "your sinclair" I think it was called, for the classic zx spectrum

Here’s one from 1985, I call it: Ripley: "A Perfect Organism…A Survivor" OR...just "SURVIVOR" [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/ALIENflameunitflareFIRE1-1.jpg[/IMG]

i like alot this last one ... it have a 70's feel more than 80s ehh after ive finished the studies and obtained the "master or arts" title ( worth very little ) in 1990 i did work for some time making stained glasses for cathedrals but after that i never did anything anymore being involved primarly in 3d programs for engineers and architects . So i think ive lost my hand :p ( but i can still use it to slap sparky )

@Frantz Ahhh...you never really lose it...it maybe just in hypersleep. THE SLEEPER MUST AWAKEN! Wake up the Master! ~N

Spartacus, I think that A.I. is, just perhaps, the most underrated science fiction film[i] ever[/i].

Well, I can see it’s gonna be fun and…interesting chatting with you Ruhaniya... Or, as Samuel Jackson would say, “English mutha fucka…do speak it?!!! Hehe… I'm just foolin' about. An Ode to Ruhaniya Think I just lost my Freudian slip. Might as well slide in rip for a dip. Ruh roached a clip in the night for a toke. Shaw should stow a key of smack coke Haniya gets back to drop some on link. Lois Lane said... “Do you like pink?” Li

Oh btw, I have a Giger tattoo as well. Getting finished (maybe?) tomorrow. [img]http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s320x320/391922_10150645145133942_294990133941_11741504_1625020417_n.jpg[/img]

@ LI I like pink after I put a pill (We likes much) in my beer then I did Drink and yes speak I colloquial English, dink! I don't have any tattoos...boo hooser

@Ruhaniya You crack me up! Hahaha I like your profile pic...looks like a Facehugger crossed with "the Cookie Monster." COOKIEEEEEEE! Li

@ Li Actually it's a bad fungal invasion from outer space, that I got from eating too much cannabisoids. It makes everyone want to smoke me!

That's what I thought. So that's you in the picture...right?

I like crack cookies, and I see you have some nice cookies in your picture...right? Sweet dreams! Well, I'll tell you the truth yes it is me in all it's madness. RUHs

wicked tatt !!!

Had me whan she was 19...68 years old now and wears Wranglers and Nikes and delivers singing telegrams the past 35 of them to celebrities who visit Montreal, the last one was Oliver Stone! {The Best Was Jack Lemmon!} Anyways I digress... And I loved what you said man. A.I. for me at least is a very very special movie. Up There IMO with 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien !

I'm not sure if this came up yet but the question is How many specimen containers are there in Ashes Med Lab? Now compare that figure with the crew, how coincidental.{Maniacal Laugh} Sparts! That was a really awesome poem you wrote earlier, and you wrote so fast. Very Inspiring! thank you Title: Ace Found A 6-Pack One day it came from outer space And tried to land up on Your face. Wrap it's tail around your neck So ya better give it heck! Oh oh facehuggers Oh facehuggers Where you be! I've got a shot gun waiting for thee! Semi-automatic when the day Is done Gona shoot em One by One Oh oh Facehuggers Oh "You son of a Bitch!" Oh Facehuggers "You want some of This" Oh "You Too!" and you, you peace of Piss! Even though "They Mostly come at Night"! Mostly Buckshot Mostly.... Most likely they'll get you So use that DynAmite! RUHs

Posting leaked stuff is so annoying. You never know if it's legit or if it's still in the movie or not. For all we know this was an earlier build that's been edited or that second pic could be from anything, who's to say its from this film. I prefer to stick to official stuff imo

We need a speculation thread where people can just all the unofficially released pics/footage lol. I really want to believe the xenomorphs aren't going to play a big role in this film. That's why stuff like this just Erks me, but if it is in there I know Ridley won't disappoint.

Well some kind of monster/mutation is showed in the trailer. Thats obviously the culprit. Not sure about this pregnancy stuff lol. We need to get ripley on these forums.

thats real prometheus ...otherwise the Fox CEO would have said that there were fake images in the leaked trailer .. there are no reasons to doubt that is not an original trailer ( then discarded in favour of a more "quiet" one ) of course we cannot forget that its maybe a dream and so on ... she seems to be shaw btw . I rest of my idea that she is "infected" by halloway ..thats explain the image of halloway feeling sick or strange after they have probably made sex .

An atmosphere processing unit would not work without the planet/moon having enough gravitational pull to [i]hold[/i] the atmosphere there. Therefore, it's still reasonable to assume that LV-426 had an atmosphere, albet unbreathable, and therefore winds, gas, and weather.

and that is said in Alien ...a very thick atmosphere ... and a good gravity of 0.86

@Frantz That's right. Forgive me; haven't watched it recently, but as I read that, my brain automatically kicked in the scene where Ash is at the console, reading that off.

Okay my two cents (well pence being British)... 1. The flashes mentioned in the original post are just lightning. 2. It is true that if this is LV-426 then there is a discrepency between the landscape as established in Alien and Aliens. What was it Ash said "Its almost primordial" (which I know was about the atmosphere, but the planet looked primordial too). Yet in Prometheus it looks more like Mars. So we have a dead planet becomes a infant planet. Could the crash of the Derelict result in the terraformation of LV-426? 3. I don't think Holloway infects Shaw, the scene in the trailer looks like he's suffocating due to lack of air (think Total Recall and Event Horizon). Maybe his helmet gets damaged? Okay, 3 cents/pence then.

Nice to see someone else didn't care for 'Inception' - I've given up twice at about 20 minutes in, driven away by the sullen, portentous, humourless tone.

Lol Reimer he's already great and that's official Ridleys a genius anyone who's dedicated their life to the visual medium like him is undeniably great even he's peers think so the problem is getting the academy to acknowledge it. The Girl with a Giger tattoo... all films that attempt to be historical in context are inaccurate no one in Hollywood can make historical accuracy because its entertainment and history is a point of view. Jesus people cant even report accurate something that happened last week. If my country was being invaded i would fight tooth and nail to keep out foreign invaders why should the muslims be any different. The directors cut of kingdom was great i feel Orlando did his best but most people couldn't buy the fact that he could lead an army . bad casting not bad acting . Dont even begin to get me started on the fucking iraq invasion and weapons of mass deception fuck the whole friggin world knows what that shits about.

Can you tell me the five other better films and the music thats been ripped off ?

"Lol Reimer he's already great and that's official" Nah, an over-promoted ad man. You wait - he won't be able to resist some product placement. "I want to scare the shit out of you...and sell you something. Mmm, this Hovis is both delicious AND wholesome".

Already wasted a lot of digital ink explaining how prequel is defined, regardless of one's opinion, or preference for how the word is used, so I rest my case. Zeus' last post here acts beautifully as a closing statement for my own contributions. Thank you, sir.

[quote]Right. Though with the proviso that it involves a story arc introduced in the previous works, as added by the Webster variant.[/quote] I actually think, that both the Dictionary.com and Webster definitions are open to interpretation. Furthermore, definitions might change over time, as/if the phenomenons they describe, change and evolve. But I understand the need to base your answers on something that feels valid and secure. Whether or not Prometheus is a prequel, nobody knows - that´s not the issue. I don´t necessarily agree or disagree with you on your conception of Prometheus being a prequel or not, but I kind of disagree with your interpretations of the dictionary descripitions and your faithful commitment to them. To follow up on your latest contribution on this topic; if u wrote what u wanted to write, then It is not a waste of digital ink IMO. You can write something in here, and watch it get twisted, misunderstood or used as platform for cheap and self-satisfied punchlines, apparently that´s the name of the game in here. But thank you for a pleasant and impartial dialogue about this subject.

Time dilation has not been proved and was added to the theory to maintain the principle that "allegedly" nothing can travel at the speed of light. Sparky (ironically) put it plain and simple in his post that scientists of old and of tradition stick to their ancient principles and theories, whereas the younger generation are willing to view things from a fresh perspective and question so-called established theories. Although I am not a scientist, I am very scientifically and open minded with a high enough IQ to understand the principles, logic and (with enough time) the equations. All the arguments in this thread have been a mirror of what happens in the scientific community whenever someone proposes a new theory or presents revolutionary evidence, the established "older" scientists call foul, whether the theory be sound/the evidence be unrefutable or not. But whatever, ignore the possibility that they could be wrong, or in the least half right, and stall our development as a supposedly intelligent race.

Snorkelbottom, you are on another planet I think, where scientific fact relies on some social hierarchy and time dilations doesn’t exist!! Are you serious? Global satellite navigation, which you and I use every day relies on the foundations of Special Relativity and time dilation in particular. It wouldn’t work without it!! But it hasn’t been proven? I can’t believe I’m having this conversation

Satellites don't use time dilation... A satellite in a geosynchronised orbit has a farther distance to travel than point it is synchronised with, thus it has to move at a faster speed than that of which the land below is moving (earths axial rotation). This is not time dilation this time differential, the same principality that is used in LSD (limited slip differential) in automobiles. An example of time dilation would be a light train... Imagine a passenger train running on a frictionless track (ignoring the point of g-force for this example), circumventing the world along the equatorial line. Now imagine that this train is travelling fractionally short of the speed of light. Now imagine someone gets up and runs to the front of the train. Technically, that person would be moving at a speed faster than that of the train, and thus travelling faster than the speed of light. Thus scientists implemented (theoretically) time dilation - the faster an object moves and the closer they approach the speed of light the slower time moves, thus the saying that time and space are relative to each other (relativity). This is an example physicists use to explain time dilation and it is flawed, by one key principle...

Satellites do adjust their clocks for gravitational time dilation.

Time differential - let me explain what it is... Take a compass and a piece of paper. In the middle of the paper make a dot. Using that dot as the center draw two circles, one small and one large. Now, the smaller circle obviously has a smaller circumference than the larger circle. Now if you wanted something travelling along the larger circles circumference (satellites orbit) to remain in synch with something travelling along the smaller circles circumference (satellite dish) then the object travelling along the larger circles circumference would have to be moving at a greater velocity than the object on the smaller circles circumference. That's the easy part. But, objects such as a satellite are exposed to less gravity than that of things on the ground, and this adds variables into the equation meaning that extra (usually nano or milliseconds) time has to be added to remain in synch with the object on the ground. Time cannot be dilated as freely as some scientists would like it to (to fit their theories), for one plane and simple reason...

Snorks less copy and pasting and more checking of facts please. The time dilation effect has been measured and verified using GPS.

Well Snorkel you may have to do more than some paper craft experiments for your theories to compete with this: [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1314656/Scientists-prove-time-really-does-pass-quicker-higher-altitude.html]Gravitational Time Dilation[/url]
