On ALIEN and PROMETHEUS Fashion: Sleek and Sexy vs. Traditional and Cumbersome S

someone have said that the nostromo was a cargo and so they werent suppose to make a great use of spacesuits ... while here we have a scientists crew with top tier equipment ...plus maybe the nostromo suits were made for void space ( reparations around the ship while travelling )

I've read a post (citation unavailable) either on this website, AVP Galaxy or the Prometheus page on IMDB. It pretty much stated that: [i]"Nostromo was a mining rig; the crew's space suits were designed to be hard wearing when facing up to adverse mining conditions in space.[/i] And to be honest I agree. In terms of the suits in Prometheus...I believe they are primarily designed to incorporate maneuverability. For example imagine the crew attempting to perform laboratory standard bench tests in space. They are scientists after all!

@Frantz...I can buy that! Personally, I think the filmmakers just want the characters to look more attractive...for our 2012 hyper-health and appearance conscious society. Especially for the actors and actresses who have athletic or sexy physiques...like Theron, Repace, Fassbender, and Elba. Which, I don’t really care…as long as there is some logical reasoning behind it. I’m just concerned…and hope that they didn’t go all George Lucas on the technology. Like in STAR WARS episode I, the technology looks more advanced than in Episode VI. This is always a challenge when making prequels…because of the ever growing sophistication of the audience. However, it should still be addressed. Peace, ~N

There has to be a logical reason for it... I do not think in any way that this would escape Scott's or even Giger's thinking and/or evaluation and they both would have "prolly" said something too if there wasn't a real good perfectly logical reason why them new suits work In their opinions. I just can't think of one like the rest of you.

IMO the Prometheus crew are going to have access to state of the art equipment, comparing the Nostromo to Promoetheus is like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari

@BellaLikesAlien --Except that it's a Ford that is 30 years newer than the Ferrari...technologically. I'm just sayin'...

Possibly, although the Space Shuttle Atlantis which had it's last flight in July of this year was used for over 30 years and 135 missions. Also look at a lot of the cars on the road; new ones and some over 30 years old. The Nostromo is more than likely an old freight ship which has out dated equipment; a mining team wouldn't look as technologically advanced to a group of pioneering scientists with the full backing and high budget of the company. A scientific mission to meet the possible creators of life on Earth would probably justify building a brand new ship and to have all of the best gadgets.

I like it Bella...I goin' with it. ~N

A spanking new ship that will see it's first and last voyage, kind of like Titanic. We all know that the Chinese made the Prometheus..probably, Nissan or Toyota, just have to look for the emblem somewhere on the ship...

Actually Nissan and Toyota are Japanese Companies...but it would probably be manufactured by Yutani...the fictional Japanese company. Probably not going to be built by Ford, Ferrari, or White Star Line...who built TITANIC. J

In my travels in the internet I came across an odd picture of Michael Fassbender with the all white helmet from the Nostromo on. They are conveniently large and glassy to see the actors face and it sure looked like him. I have since mysteriously lost the link: perhaps there is someone else out there who can identify this. Neurion it is good to hear from you; had any of that Irish whiskey lately.

I looked everywhere 4 U but all I came up with is this... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/A111prothhththht.jpg[/img]

Ya I saw this one that was of an Up close view of his face in the helmet from the left side. You don't see the whole suit but you definitely see the helmet with the circuitry in it. Exactly like the one from Alien. This article was mailed to me from Google and it's was primarily about Michael F.

I know what you're talking about Ruhaniya, I thought it was on this site somewhere. I am looking for it with google too but can't find it. We need a forum search box here though.

I'm kicking myself for it now, I can't frickin find the picture, or kick the hobit I was intrigued by it and wondered if it was staged or is actually part of Prometheus. Sometimes weird shit happens and I just look at it like an abstract painting and except it for what it is. Lets say we bump into a race of aliens that can read minds or even project into your mind. Cause they're multi- demonsonal! ya that one sucks cause the missing time wasn't caused just by Glow In The Dark Mentos. But Really,,, your in a white room and Dr Who is GPSing you. The aliens were just like the Darleks: living organisms in a weaponized nano cockspits. The god, oozing all over the land, creating an economic crisis cause nobody wanted to work anymore. So they built space ships to take people to other planets and stuff. Working in space is so much fun, especially when you get to work with androids, who love the smell of shit but not skunk. Ya...

Here you go [img]http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc389/bongobat/Fun%20on%20the%20Internet/davidhelmet.jpg[/img]

They said is a fake , great photoshop work but seems is confirmed fake ...also the pictures of the noomi like girl showed by spartacus is got from sci fi TV documentary "It turns out the image is not from Prometheus, but from Andrew Clarke's We Are One" http://www.facebook.com/RosieOnMars

Fassbender in the white helmet is a fan-made fake. The woman in the white space suit is not from Prometheus its from another film.

Due to the fact that there appear to be scenes where they're not wearing helmets, I dont think they are proper spacesuits....

yes probably are not real "space"suits but more "exploration" suits ..there are anyway some stils in which they are with helmets on ( and the helmets are quite original regarding the shape ) so we can also assume the in the cave there is oxygen or the cave is on earth ( first part of the movie )

Jesus Christ [b]@Ruhaniya[/b] if you mention [i]smoking[/i] or [i]pot[/i] one more time in a post I'll be forced to reach through my screen and beat the living s**t out of you.

The mask's can be CGI placed in post if that be what it is or the lace they are on has O2 but I doubt it.... These guys are getting the top notch made suits since the company flipped the bill for the ship and the exploration project....of course, we know the crew is expendable as usual.

FRANTZ WROTE> "They said is a fake , great photoshop work but seems is confirmed fake ...also the pictures of the noomi like girl showed by spartacus is got from sci fi TV documentary "It turns out the image is not from Prometheus, but from Andrew Clarke's We Are One"" 100% completely irrelevant because all i was doing was HELPING SOMEONE looking for some helmet that was the similar to what he mentioned. And after stating I could not find one I also stated CLEARLY that all I could find was one that looked like what he was talking about.... Might be a good idea to READ THREADS PROPERLY before taking rediculously unnecessary shots at people on this board for no reason at all what so ever!

Hey Ruhaniya, No Irish "Water of Life"...lately. Too busy. Gonna have to make some time for that. After all...one must have priorities. Ha! Hey...ever tried Polydichloric euthymol...or PDE? I hear it's a real kick. At least that's what I heard from my buddy...Spota. Signing off... ~N

Can one of you fellas give me a quick tip on how to include a photo when starting a new topic and when replying to posts. I tried to add a photo link from "Photobucket" in a new topic by adding tags, like so... [img]image[/img] in the TAGS field... But it didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Hope you can help. Thanks, ~Neurion

Sorry brother Neurion, but I only stick with the natural non fictional herbal douches that I can not name because I'm on Santas not E list. He ain't comin to my house, I got a gift waiting for him if he does and an nice cold iced T, right Sparky! Good luck with that Greek fire water. Goes good with Reindeer stakes. Oh By the way, I like your new profile pic. It kind helps redouches the confusion of the giant rock head. Before, when you look into his eyes you can't see em but now..The Eye is on. The only thing I would like to see is the starting of the Biomorphing progressing as the PDE reaches the brain: everything becomes cyrstal clear and your seeing 360* sphere and you can go anywhere but just make sure you get back before when wheres off in 15,000 googolplex8 years and don't go in any space elevators without your spacesuit or it won't be like on episode of Saul of the Mole Men.

Calm down Spartacus, this is only a fan site, not real life.

spartacus i wasnt aiming at you ...i just said about the photo you posted ... and i had to say that those two photos are fake otherwise people will have no more an idea about what is fake and what is real .. There was nothing against you ...i had to make a statement becuse fake things , fake photos , fake synopsis , personal ideas spread like fire and go often totally out of control and are assumed as real ... one classic example is a dumb trailer of prometheus that was made on youtube and have millions of views ... and thousands of people thinks is the real thing ( if you remember i had a fight with a guy that went here claiming it was a true trailer ) shake hands ... -.-

I understand Frantz and I am sorry too, i should have done that way better, chosen a different way to express what I was thinking, I apologize and in my own defense wasn't feeling very much love from you lately so I guess I had that in the back of my mind and let it influence my thinking and writting. I also want to add that I severely shocked by your reply and did not think that was in line with your character to do that...the reply you just posted I mean, I have much respect for people who are quick to deflate personal confrontations in such a respectable manner, that was very Mature and wise of you and I have a new found respect for you for doing it. I really wish I could be there with you when you see Prometheus before all of the rest of us do...I am just so envious and know that you care as much about this thing as me or anyone else on this planet, maybe even more, and I respect that to, very very much, and truly would just adore to see the expressions on your face when you are watching this thing on behalf of all of us!!! again My apologies too man...I guess I was being a bit childish and should just have the strength of my own convictions to say nothing at all and let things ride. In the end a persons true intentions always come to light, It was not necessary in retrospect for me to say anything at all...my intentions were simply to help the guy find his picture. I should have just been confident enough in that it was an honorable task I took upon myself to do and stood on it without feeling the need say even a word about it. In other words it's all good now 'cause learned something valuable from it!!!
