MemberOvomorph09/21/2011As we know...
A few months ago a 'fake Prometheus plot' was released on the web. It pretty much went as follows: [b]Humans are punished for stealing SJ technology[/b] = [b]Xenos released to play.[/b]
Since then there has been a lot of talk on this forum about alternative plot ideas, and most notably what we'll call the 'mutant plot'. Essentially it entails the Human crew of Prometheus mutating into the Xenos with the help of the green goo (found in the urns) . In my opinion this would be a story line that is not only horrific and brilliant, but is also extremely original; offering us up a true twist to the events of the film.
It has been so long since the latter plot was suggested that I've almost convinced my self that it will in fact happen. My concern now is that if it [b]doesn't[/b] I might end up being somewhat disappointed with Prometheus. The 'leaked plot' was exciting when it first arrived on our computer screens, but now seems some what rudimentary and predictable.
Your thoughts?

MemberOvomorph09/25/2011then the first AvP is like being tied with 7 horny dwarves around :D "get me out of hereeeeee " :D
the second AvP is not actually THAT bad but is wave of alien cliches .
if ive to point a finger to a great crew chemistry after the first alien i would surely say "sunshine" ...good movie in my opinion
while i would say that " PAndorum " have a great script and a good show for ben foster ( there are some lowdowns in the movie too )

MemberOvomorph10/3/2011@Neurion, My Gods space being so vast I only now got the invitation to the party! Absinthe....wow you do play hardcore. Makes me very conversational in the most memorable ways. As for your in depth description of your reaction to the various Alien films, to sum Alien 3 up succinctly, I put my popcorn away after the opening credits. I just lost my appetite after watching Newt and Hicks demise. The autopsy was the final straw, that left me cold, and uncaring. The tea stained appearance of the film put the entire visual experience into a squinting and looking into corners perspective. Like you, nothing equalled the novelty of the first film. It didn't sacrifice anything in order to generate those chills, and I wasn't tabulating a running body count. Well, enough said about spilt milk, or was that android bionanetic suspension? Let's just hope that Prometheus is more than any of us could have hoped for shall we..

MemberOvomorph10/3/2011[i]Various[/i] past-time movies (xept alien) with [b]H.R. Giger[/b] co-operating were:
Design; conceptual art for [b]`Dune´[/b] 1984: Harkonnen Chairs, a.s.o.
[b]Species I[/b], [b]II[/b] and [b]III[/b] (1995; 1998)
[b]Killer Condom[/b] of 1996 was, by far, his worst, since he has lowered to trash genre.

P.S.: Somehow unsimilar to a George Lukas w. this guy, huh?
Besides all debate: I´ve seen the prequel, which is on youtube for months
in our local cinema, too. To me, that clealrly indicates that `Prometheus´
advertises itsself, I don´t know. btw. I share the opinion, that V. Ward´s concept was best, ever. For you guys, who [i]are looking for some text composition and citations[/i], here´s a [url=http://libcom.org/library/critique-psychoanalytic-film-analysis-case-alien-quartet]link[/url] to a social-anthropologist doin ethnographical research: he´s critisizing the [i]`Alien Quadrilogy´[/i] and [i]` Film Observation from a psychoanalysts perspective´[/i]
