The Forest Through The Trees

For a good while now, as I've consumed the hours and hours worth of the breadcrumbs, scraps and tidbits of almost nothing that Ridley and his actors have dropped at our feet...I've felt, I've sensed that there was something we all were missing, that was right there in front of us...some 'thing' there, hiding in between the lines...the proverbial forest through the trees we just cannot see...and I just can't put my finger on. This something is hiding in the shadows of Ridley’s head games, which I love and hate him for, and it’s a monster…. As we all know, Ridley's done with the xenomorph. It's tired, overused, been run into the ground and long since lost any hint of freshness. He’s said as much…. Which is why the following bits of information have lodged themselves, stuck in my mind and I can’t get them out… When the official version of the teaser trailer hit, I poured over it endlessly, as I’m sure all of you did, and I noticed something or rather its absence…Two shots, one second apart that could originally be seen in the leaked version of the trailer that appeared over Thanksgiving weekend. They are both particularly interesting in spite of their poor quality. The first, at :37 sec, shows a black skeletal hand, perhaps it’s not a hand, but something moving over the edge of a cryo-unit. What it is or isn’t, I don't know, but am very curious about. It’s alive, it’s moving and it sure as hell does not look human. The second, at :39 sec, is of a bulge moving in someone's stomach. It, again, looks very strange and appears for less than a second, so it’s rather difficult to hazard a guess at what it might be. These shots flank, before and after, a shot of the SpaceJockey chair rising out of the floor, as appears in the official trailer. The leaked trailer is still available at: http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/83539/PROMETHEUS_Leaked_Trailer_Enhanced_De_noised/ Please….revisit the leaked trailer and look at those shots…tell me what you see. I just think there’s something new there we’ve missed. Also, there’s the implication of someone impregnated with something, i.e. the shot from one of the 30 second teasers that shows a diagnostic image of someone entertaining an unwanted guest in their abdomen. With all of this, I just feel like Ridley has this ace up his sleeve, and it’s one hell on an ace, that he’s left out and in among the trees we keep staring at, (the randomly released screen shots that only occasionally show us anything; the vague, inviting interviews that only serve to rehash what we already know). It’s there...this monster we can’t picture quite yet and we’re all just too enamored with the scraps in those trees to see the forest behind them and what lurks within it….

I saw the :39 sec. scene but to me, it looks like someones chest is being scanned like in Alien with Kane. I could not see the :37 sec. scene. maybe its just wasnt clear for me. But I think you might be right. Its possible that Ridley has us all thinking or watching one hand and we are not watching his other hand. who knows.

Is this the hand you are seeing at the :37 second scene? I couldn't really see it in the leaked trailer but found this pic and thought it may be the same scene. If so I think that hand looks very human to me. http://www.movieweb.com/movie/prometheus/PGDoDrPryxr0GM/C4wDWDgLUBCoYLJ

No problem Craigamore. I wasnt for certain if that was the same scene or not. I would have just pasted the pic but I cant figure out how to. Can you assist me on how you pasted your pic? Or anyone help me at that? I would appreciate it greatly!

As to the pic, theres an icon in the in the reply window that's square, white and green in color, and fourth from the left. click that....and a box will pop up asking for a url. Open another tab with your pic on whatever website, right click, go to properties and copy the url info. Then go back to your original tab and paste the url in the box they provided and hit ok. It will appear in the window as text. I make sure there's an extra space between each group of text and the image text, to make sure it's not messy and then I post. When you check, it should pop up.

Also...I'm trying to get a pic of the first shot...but I'm not having much luck...technical difficulties...so, we'll see. Trust me...go back and look again. The 1st shot is right ahead of the SpaceJockey chair shot. It's one hell of a creepy second and it's looks very inhuman.

Thanks craigamore....i must be dumb i cant even get a picture to show up. :( I have used that box and still it just shows up as text on my post and not a picture. Maybe it is the spacing you were talking about...where do you know what should be spaced apart?

@Game Over Man! The text that appears in your window after you hit ok on the URL request box should have [img] in those parenthecies before and after your URL text. Make sure that once you click ok on the box, text appears in your window. It should work. Approach the spacing I was referring to like you would any grouping of paragraphs with extra spacing between them like I have here...I'll give you an example. After this paragraph, I'll put in a fake URL as it should look when you do it as I've suggested. And I left out the [/img] at the end so it show up for you. Then I will have a brief sentence following it to show you the proper spacing that I prefer and remember, I don't think the spacing should give you much trouble...it's more a personal prefference than anything. [img]http://www.happ.com/wp-content/upload/22/01/noomace_etheus-300x225.jpg I hope this helps my friend and good luck...trust me, it took me a bit to figure it out myself. p.s. for some reason it won't let me space properly after the image text, so...I hope I was able to help anyway.
