I received a Box Set of the Three Hunger Games books as a gift during the Holidays and am halfway though book 2, the story is IMO nothing short of Incredible.
That said no matter how good that film turns out to be, for me, it's NEVER going it even have a chance of being as good as Prometheus is going to be !!!
It won't even be close!!!

MemberOvomorph01/10/2012So no one here gives a CRAP that Prometheus is getting it's ass kicked I guess? My bad, But I am so disappointed, I thought ALL OF YOU, would have JUMPED ALL OVER THIS ONE.

MemberXenomorph01/10/2012I just went and voted cupcake I mean Sparky. Yup right now Prometheus is losing 57.8% to 42.2% Thats a 15% Differential not haard to overcome as we get closer to the deadline. I've already seen a preview of Hunger Games on the Big Screen. I think that will all change once the big screen gets an Prometheus Trailer.

MemberXenomorph01/10/2012Hunger Games will pale in comparison on the BIG 3D Screen. I so want to see Prometheus on IMAX 3D........You know it will show on IMAX

MemberOvomorph01/10/2012[quote]if you go to play with kids ...you will always lose ...

I am assuming that was a joke because NO this is NOT kids and YES this is quite serious and I do NOT like this one bit and I also find there are and have been many many many many more "CHILDREN" ON THIS PROMETHEUS WEB SITE, THAN THE NONE TOTAL THAT ARE PRESENT IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM WITH REGARD TO THE ARTICLE I POSTED!!!
I get it now Frantz, you have No Desire to support the film.
Like I said, "MY BAD", I'm sorry !!!

MemberOvomorph01/10/2012Not you Rick, FRANTZ
and here is why I am mad at him about this.
I checked out that contest
It's Brilliant...They made an NCAA bracket of the top 32 anticipated films of 2012.
Prometheus made it as #8 to the rd of 16.
IMO it should have been Ranked #1 - and The Hunger Games should have been ranked #8.
But the Hunger Games looks like it will be as incredible as the books are.
Next, IMO Anyone with the slightest Love and appreciation for and whom is passionate about FILMS and FILM MAKING in general is going to be All Over That.
Next Next, I want and Desire for Prometheus to succeed!
I think Ridley Scott DESERVES our support.
I think this FILM deserves all of our support.
And if we cannot turn to the Prometheus Community here for it who thee heck are we going to turn to?
Had I read and discovered that this was all a Childish Contest wiht little merit I would have ignored it, but it's NOT.
Next Next Next...I think it wold be incredibly cool as well, If Prometheus won an MTV contest and then the film came out as an R rated one so that all of these so called kids you are assuming are voting and dreaming up contests like this one, which was made all in good fun I think, will think twice in the Future for not supporting a director like Scott and a film Like I know Prometheus is going to be!!!
In other words if you don't like kids and you don't like the MTV crowd and you don't want Prometheus to do anything other than be a smashing success or to up staged in any way by The Hunger Games, then here is your chance!!!
I'm sorry like I said, I just can't look at this film with anything but optimism and the truth is you can look all over this web site and countless example of people who just DO NOT GET ANY OF THIS...it's Ridley's work not ours, you can knock yourself out with comments like "I wanna see this or"and "I wannna see that or" and "I hope this about the SJ or and "I hope that about the SJ or", so let me ask all of those people right now...
OR WHAT?
what happens if you go to see this film and NOTHING you wanted is in it?
Is that grounds for no one to like it either? Or for everyone who should be supporting it NOT TO?...or better still...For no one to want to throw their support behind it?
In the end it does not matter one bit because he's right , contests in general are childish, and film is a personal thing as far as preferences go.
He made me realize that while maybe I care, no one else has to...But I'll be damned if I am not "ALL IN" with regard to this film, and UNTIL the day I see for myself that it SUCKED, i AM GOING TO ASSUME THAT IT IS OSCAR MATERIAL RIGHT NOW AND A POTENTIAL 2013 BEST PICTURE OSCAR WINNER at that!
I will also be Damned if I don't throw all of my own support behind it at every single chance I have.
He's right, contests are childish, and If that makes me a child...if caring how this film is perceived BEFORE ANYONE GIVES IT ANY KIND OF CHANCE, than you can go out right now and get me a TONKA TOY and call me JR.

MemberXenomorph01/10/2012Sparky, Now breath......Man...BREATH.
I really hope you didn't say all that in one breath.
I get what you're saying. We just dont need to get all over passionate about it. The movie when it comes out will speak entirely for itself regardless of contests and any preconceived notions of what people want or think should be in it before the movie comes out. Because in some aspect no matter how awesome a film will be, it will never completely live up to what someone has imagined in their own head because they didn't make or direct the movie.
You an I both know it will be awesome and better than what we are expecting because I think we may be a bit older than most on the website and can temper our expectations a bit with our age.
Regards,
Rick

MemberOvomorph01/10/2012actually I thought about what I said initially long and hard and realized I owed an explanation for the short and kind of impulsive comment I made without explaining it any further...Just wanted you to know I am not crazy I know exactly what I am saying, it might be childish of me and I freely admit this, I am attached to this project "like a little girl" is to her jump rope.
I can't stand all the assumed negativity...and almost every single post here these days starts with some debate about something involving the Space Jockey or the Engineers or the Derelict...for that everyone gets passionate, but give them a chance to make a difference in how the film is being perceived and everyone disappears or comes up with some excuse as to why they should not invest 3.7 seconds of their time to go the site and click "I Vote For Prometheus"!
To throw your LOVE behind it for a REAL and in a practical cause and manner.
Other than That I love and adore Frantz as much as I do this film and he knows it, chalk it up to pent up frustration that someone who won't even vote for the film in an online contest is going to get to see it before me !!!
I still love the guy, I just don't know half the time whether to embrace him or embalm him !!!

MemberOvomorph01/10/2012sparky its like going in front of a movie theatre to stop them going to see Twilight ..they will kill you .... try to go say them that lady gaga have zero talent ...they will kill you too ...you cant change them ..because are teens ..and we were teens too ... they will grow and they will stop to see twilight and they will watch alien .
Why many boybands disappear ? Because their fans are grown .
But you cant go to fight them on MTV !! 2 40+ guys against hordes of teens ?? Its worse than Zulu Dawn ...i flee ....

MemberOvomorph01/11/2012U know I registered on that stupid site and for some reason after battling for like an hour I can still not post a comment or vote...i will try again later....for now I quit before i punch a hole threw my monitor....;/

MemberFacehugger01/11/2012Guys, it's MTV... just look at both of their number 1's. They are Twilight and Hunger Games - two movies geared towards a generation that, in general, is not into Alien.

MemberOvomorph01/11/2012Anyone who thinks Lady Gaga has no talent needs to get a clue. I'm a man in my 30's and even though her genre is a little off from me personally, she is one seriously freaky and talented person.
MTV has ruined filmmaking to a degree lets face it. They push the worst part of pop culture into some of the worst movies ever written. LOOK at any MTV production. I could care less what MTV crowds think. They wouldn't last 2 minutes on this forum trying to understand the depth of some of these conversation.... nerdy or not!
Twilight is just so terrible. I don't know where to begin so I won't. Hunger games might be good who knows but it's a totally different concept that can't be even compared to Prometheus. No matter what we wish Prometheus is not going to set box office records but it will do well.
