Hate the Idea

I'm really not happy with the engineers resembling human beings. The thought that the SJ from the 79' film is just a shell or a suit really makes me nervous. Part of the appeal of Alien is the sense of mystery. I have a feeling that Prometheus is going to blow the lid off of the mystery and it just won't live up to the hype. I haven't been this excited to see a film ever but man I'm kind of worried. Anyone else feel this?

Not at all my friend...not at all. Ridley Scott has only three forays into sci-fi in his career. 'Alien', 'Bladerunner', and the 1984 Apple Computers super bowl commercial '1984' (considered, literally, to be the 'Citizen Kane' of commercials). They are all classics I have no probelm calling masterpieces, each in its own regard. I have absolute faith in what he will give us....for further elaboration as to why....check out my thread entitled 'Something Special'. I think it adequetly sums up and supports my position in this regard.

Agree with some of this. I liked the SpaceJockey having "grown out of the chair": bio-ship is an organism & it grows it's pilot, or a pilot grows the ship :) it just looks so mysterious, bizarre, and is very ... alien, with more body horror. Don't like the "it's a suit" idea. perhaps a halfway house is that the SJ grows into the ship or vica versa. The rest, i'm more excited to see this film than not. Hopefully it won't be a simple 'setup' of the alien derelict, and i am excited to see what ideas they come up with. Perhaps having enjoyed 33 years of SJ mystery is enough :)

I like what you wrote Golic but I still feel a strong sense of faith in the man with regard to the material at hand. I don't feel, with all due respect, that he will deliver a product which just won't live up to the hype.

I hear you, I read your post earlier. Not that the film compares with at all or will compare, but do you remember in Star Wars Episode 1 when they revealed the midichloreans (spelling) ? I just don't need that kind of moment in this film. And I really do want to emphasize I'm have been obsessing over this film since I first starting seeing leaked photos over the summer. My friends are getting kind of annoyed actually. If this film doesn't deliver I'm going to swear off movies and move to a mountain and live in a tree. Alien is with out a doubt my favorite favorite film... ever.

I get ya man, and I agree, I don't even want to consider it's a possibility though.

And yeah maybe the use of the word "hype" is a little much. Scott has delivered some fantastic stuff. Guess I don't want to get my hopes up. That's all. I do have a feeling that we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg in the trailer. June couldn't feel further away.

Actually that would be the simplest fix is for us regular members to be able to delete our own posts.
