I would love to join
2014 was a good year for movies. Under the Skin ranked as my number 4 of that year and deservedly so. Despite the sexist nature of the plot it was a breathtaking film. Nothing like I had ever experienced before in my life and that is something I am always looking for in a film. That ending was spectacular, I could not breath!
However I would never watch it again, possibly even if money was involved. It was such a disturbing film that rocked me very deep. I was so aghast by the imagery that I could not stomach another viewing. Like I said it was like nothing I had every experienced before and there was a reason.
Still a Must-See film and I highly recommend it for film lovers.
Trailers have been satan for several years now. There is no reason to watch anything past the first or hopefully teaser trailer of a movie. It is despicable how much they show now a days.
I was lucky enough to not see anything of Alien: Covenant trailers however after seeing it I did check the latest one out and it was astounding how much the movie was ruined! I would have been pissed and I have been pissed many times so I have learned my lesson. I have to shut my eyes and look down when I am in the theater and there are 6 full mini movies (trailers) before something I want to watch.
I feel pissed for you since you had a wonderful experience robbed from you by trailers.
The trick is not minding that it might suck.
Agreed!!
It also seems the ALIEN fanbase is determined to keep what we love about this universe alive. And while fan-fiction isn't 'canon', I've encountered a fair number of works here and around the web that show the fanbase's works are often more Canon-worthy than the studio-generated material. ;)
Blomkamp's Oats works, well, saw Rakka and it just blew me away!!
@SpellBoundSynapses - I assume you mean this line from David"From the egg sacks came these parasites"?
He is talking about the egg sacks that were stepped on and released the tiny motes that infected the first two victims with Neomorphs. These -
In the movie David is looking at the motes under a microscope as he speaks those lines. They look like tiny, mosquito-like insects. In the book, it is Oram who is looking at them, as described in the first post.
The motes serve the same parasite-delivery function as the face hugger, but on a much smaller scale, and there are hundreds in an egg instead of one.
VIVISECTEDENGINEER - Hahaha! Excellent! ;)
He could pull a Blomkamp and try to make his own? JK xD
I love that, and I really appreciate it!
Also, I'll keep it in mind and if I'm ever on the verge of being eaten by a nightmarish bio-mechanical monster, I am going to scream "F*** you! I have a purpose!!!" before I blast that sucker out into space. :)
VIVISECTEDENGINEER - You are most welcome. Always keep your chin up and remember what I have said. You and I are only the temporary custodians of the matter which composes our forms. However, we are real beings with real minds and real spirits - creatures that should never feel turmoil for wisdom gained within mind and body. The only way to learn is to live; and the only way to live is to age. Wear your age as a mark of distinction and honor. The powers that shape and form our universe, whatever they are, deem that you are worth keeping around. You have a purpose. :)
I love the Lovecraft themes. I also like the ideas this has given me as far as availability strategy goes. Putting things on those sites, even if they're independent non-canon fictions, (not to mention Blomkamp's Oats Studios experiments) could really redefine fan-franchise relations that are so poorly developed.
Thank you!!! I love it! That's an awesome thing to say, I consider your kind and encouraging words as an early birthday gift! :D
Way superior to the theatrical release
It would be interesting if the substance itself was an evolved form of an ancient entity, functioning as a material part of an immaterial organism. The Demiurge in Celtic/Gaelic mythology is not "God" per se, but rather a "creator" of organic life by way of a 'material'. The Engineers are clearly inspired by the Demiurge, and the material that they use is not necessarily of their own making (like the myth in question). Even if RS doubles-down on this David thing, I think it would be best if this material or its origins remains a mystery. It would be ideal if RS maintains the mystery of the Engineers' origin as well.
@dk
Wow wow wow! She seems awesome! I bet she's full of great ideas! I will ask for her input! Awesome!!! :D :D :D
VIVSECTEDENGINEER - Happy early birthday! Thirty-one is a very good age! You are at last an adult and capable of enjoying yourself as you see fit! Do not be depressed by the age of your body. Always remember that the matter composing your cells is billions upon billions of years old - stardust surrounding an ageless soul. :)
Oooh, good to know! Is he some kind of...Alien party expert???
Also. GUYS! I just found a CRASHED SPACE-SHIP THEMED ESCAPE ROOM in my city!!!
Looks like we now have someplace to wear our new Weyland-Yutani shirts out to!
This is going to be AWESOME!
Lone could steer you in the direction of Alien style foods. Here is a taste:
Lone- She is a very creative person: http://www.scified.com/member/6583
VivisectedEngineer- She's another member on here.
Who is Lone??
Talk to Lone. Enough said.
Plates shaped like facehuggers sounds awesome! :D
That sounds very cool. I've also seen a few cakes with chestbursters bursting out of them...which seems pretty awesome if I can figure out how to make something like that.
I think I will go with the shirts idea, but I'm hoping to think of more than just that. Ideally we'll do more than just...sit around wearing Weyland-Yutani shirts. But yes, it's a good starting point!
OMG, I love it. Scary!
A cake with a Xenomorph on it could be cool.
Plates shaped like Facehuggers?
Give all the drinks black food coloring!
Go with the shirts idea.
Pretty cool story! In this version as well David remains my favorite antagonist in anything ever. Here to he is, as my sister described him "mesmerizing". His motives are are always intriguing.
Passengers and LIFE bouth are very interesting movies.
Starlogger Pandorum is enroute. Meanwhile I will be busy this week starting with Life!
David might want to put the eggs on an Engineer ship because of how much more advanced it is it is than the Covenant ...
The source was just someone who claimed to had seen some early concepts and a good deal of the Prometheus 2 draft (October 2014) during November 2014, which i was passed on information during the very end of Feb 2015 (Feb 25th-26th). But i can not voucher for if they are in anyway correct. But this was the first place a lot of stuff like TWO Alien Monsters, Shaws Fate, More than One David came from etc.
Until we have any confirmation from anyone official that these rumors are legit or false its up in the air, as they are based on the Prometheus 2 drafts and not the Logan/Harper Re-writes which happened in the Summer of 2015. The Source claimed that about 40% of AC is what Prometheus 2 was though, but not 100% exactly the same in that 40%
So like 60% of the Movie ideas are 100% new and not evolved from Previous Drafts.
There descriptions to the TWO Alien Monsters was interesting, and they had implied that David just Re-creates it and that Shaw played a key role in how David Re-creates it.
One Monster was directly created by David 8, and the Monsters was described as One being based on the Necronom 4 and Ultramorph Design and the other being based on the Original Design by HR Giger. Which is confusing because that is Necronom 4, or his Final Xenomorph Concept?
But i think they meant it was another design he had done before the Final One... and that one Monster will be Transparent and Pale to a degree.
I have a more detailed description... what is interesting is since the movie has came out a few on the Project confirmed they was originally going to have a Necronom 4 Design and also another different Design compared to the TWO we ended up with.
I think if handled correct the cross-over loosely could work... thats if its handled correct
Well we also saw TWO Hetrosexual people also suffer from a Face Hugger and Neomorph Spore infection...
The whole Lope Face Hugger was a bit daft, but we do not know if it stayed on a bit longer due to Cutting of the Scenes.
But alas the Speed of this infection was very odd, but with the others including Gestation of the Chest Buster, they was all needed as a Plot Device to happen faster due to time restraints of the Shooting/Run-time of the movie.
In Hindsight there should have been only ONE Xenomorph infection.
