WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS IS AN ALIEN MOVIE?

MemberOvomorphFebruary 23, 20122266 Views45 RepliesNot to piss in everyone's Cherrios but I think Prometheus is going to be as related to Alien as Blade Runner was to Alien, being that the theme, setting dystopia are similar with maybe just a little more reconizable parrallels and lapses.
EX. The Replicants in Blade Runner are the "ancestors/prequel" to Ash in Alien. Alien twist- To prevent the "Blade Runner - Retirement" incidents they replaced the more organic Blood for the Milky/Seminal-like fluid for Ash to better distinguish them from humans (Ash drinks 'milk' in Alien, probably for the nutritional benefits).
Pardon the digression, anyway, the Filmmakers have stated that the movie will have parallels, but is definately something more than an "Alien" movie that we know of.
Beware of "Twists/tie ins" - Remember the big "twist" in AVP-R, with the Weyland-Yutani tie in, the Strauss' were hyping about. . . it could be that relevant
For all the Alien Fans out there; don't set the Xenomorph expectation too high. . .

Been lurking, I am surprised I didn't run into you in the bushes.
EDIT: Actually I have posted a few things, a new artwork, helped out on that suit picture and some other things but nothing that got much attention.

to be honest i posted my first comment before actually reading up on the movie cause i was too tired to do so just like im pretty tired right now. anyway i still doubt im going to enjoy this movie cause i want to know some pretty specific things about the Alien history (movie wise) and i doubt ill get that outta this movie; however, if there is going to be a sequel to the prequel like some people think an is being hinted at then i think thats what ill be looking forward to. any way good morning imma go pass out now
February 24, 2012
and to elaborate on what i wanna know (cause i stopped looking up info on aliens long ago) how the ship they were in got on LV-426, where did they come from, how did they get transported from there, whats their favorite food, do they sleep? are some of them nice? do they brush their teeth, and more importantly what happens when they lose a tooth.... okay so maybe not the last 3 or 4 but i still got some questions i want answered in a movie! I DONT WANNA HAVE TO READ!!!!
(Q.Qv)

i just realized something that kinda just made me look like a jerk in my first post... if this is a prequel to alien then it wouldnt matter if they go to check out the same ship that ripley went to check out.... they could have moved the family into the new ship that these guys land in!...... i feel stupid

Geoph,
I just woke up so I'll try and make sense of this. What do you want to know specifically about the Alien history? You really should read through the forums there is a lot of good information in here. Craigo and Ripley Clone 8 knows a lot about the Alien Storyline even though we agree to disagree on the corporation because I have his eggo, Snorkler (Snorklebottom) is very knowledgeable about Aliens and Alien Anatomy, Sparky (Sparticus) and Biomech are very knowledgeable about Giger related stuff. Ruh (Ruhianya) knows a lot about hallucingenic perishables and Alien Toys, Cypher knows alot about Guyver (yeah I know unrelated but still cool), BugHunter is into Predators (yeah I know he has a nasty fetish :P), oh and my bud Neurion he is good at lurking. If I forgot anyone I'm sorry I haven't gotten my coffee yet. Oh wait I forgot what I know. I know everything about nothing.
Regards,
Rick
PS
Hope you guys love the humr

Oh dear, you know it would be a real joy if on some level we had an indication of peoples ages on here that way i wouldn't have to keep rolling my eyes at the naive babble that gets turfed out on some of these threads and i can forgive some of the younger posters for some of their inane speculation.
Forgive me guys but please do some research before posting it can save a lot of negative feedback and Criticism.
I just like to add none of us know everything associated with the films and the alien lore here but there are some very basic things that can be answered very easily with a little research either here or on your favourite search engine . Just trying to be helpful .
Live long and prosper! lol.

Everyone - I have to say - Geoff scares me. Check out his bizzare comments.....Is Geoff USHBUCK, working REAL hard to hold back the complete deranged madness - yet signs of it keeps slipping through the cracks. My advice to Geoff - watch Alien, dont watch Alien, watch Prometheus dont watch Prometheus - Just never post another one of your anadine, irritating, pointless threads on this site ever again. You are insane. Leave us alone. Get back to your home made, masturbation/pulley system - do what you do best - Jerk off.

.... that was slightly nice what you said Priest till i got to the last bit, anyway what i want to really know is ive heard that the aliens were made by another race of aliens to create crap pretty much and first i wanna know if thats true, second id like to know how they ended up on LV-426, thrid is where did they originate (and thats the most important) cause i view the aliens as kinda like a virus, they keep changing and mutating after each host so id really like to see what the "Case 0" outbreak of the aliens looked like and what their "home world" looks like. if its infested with aliens and the whole planet looks like what the colony on LV-426 looked like or if it is diffrent because those aliens would be completely different from the ones we know of and have seen. I think, to be honest, most of my questions cant be answered cause i wanna know so much (>,>) i think maybe if they made a sequel to the AVP 2010 game, cause Weyland-Yutani found the home planet of the aliens, most of my questions would be answered but i doubt thatll happen. like i said a lotta the stuff id like to know i probly wont be getting the answers to (Q.Q)
February 24, 2012
A lot of what you want to know @Geoph, will be explained in 'Prometheus' from what we've been able to gather so far...you're more pointed questions about the alien's origin are some of the most vague and murky elements in the slow trickle of information we've had......so, either wait and see what if anything we can gather from the next trailer or wait until June 8th.....
February 24, 2012
......... wow thats got to be one of the few times that ive been talked at or to in this site with out being talked down to....... anyway @craigamore, maybe. im not sure ill get all the info i want or if itll exactly what im looking for. i just hope this movies gunna be good cause so far all the movies ive gotten excited about have actually been pretty bad ya know?
February 25, 2012
Geoph can actually spell. Our faveorite troll couldn't, and I don't get a feeling from the Force about him being a jerk like I did from the other guy. Might just be me, but I don't think Geoph is out to cause trouble. Healthy debate perhaps.
@Rick I'm flattered to have gotten a mention from you about The Guyver. I do also like Predator, just didn't like them and my other fave creatures mashed up the way they were. I still want to cry when I think about it. But crying isn't for me, so I'll just play Dark Sector again. Throwing the Glaive calms me :-P
Sorry there was apoint to this, I went to the dentist today and still feel a little woozy, but I really hopethat it is it's own story with new and creepy creatures that will eventually lead into the original Alien, because frankly something new needs to happen, and people are just making too many "prequels" "reboots" "origin stories" nowadays, I get that we all have a love for our old faveorites but I need something new, both in design and storytelling because otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my money.

"Is it dead this time?" "I dunno, poke it with this stick and see."

yeah im not trying to troll, trust me youd be able to tell cause instead of acting all nice and.... timid i guess, id be all confident and cocky and actually probly get kicked from the site (>,>) [not good at trolling but i am good at makin people hate me] and i cant spell, im just using spell check while im on this site so i seem edjumacated. anyway i used to know a whoooole lotta stuff about predators (was a huge fan freak for a long time) but i think ive forgotten most of what i knew.... except that i read this comic once (AVP one i think) dude (meaning a predator) was missing an arm an still rippin an tearin up all sorts of aliens... was pretty cool... what was my point again? >,>... oh yeah, i just saw the 11 min gameplay sneak peak at Aliens Colonial Marines (the game that was suppose to come out in 2008 then 2010 then 2011 then next month now September) and ive gotta say, it looks good. picks up 2 weeks after Aliens the movie and the new marines go back to LV-426 to figure out what happened. anyway they put in some new mutations of the aliens due to radiation i guess (i think they said something like that) any way they can come up with GREAT new ideas for "new" aliens so if there are going to be xenos in this one (which by what everyone was yelling at me about earlier) i cant wait to see what they look like and what they can do. itd be pretty sick to see one of the facehuger throwers in this movie from the AVP PS2 game but i doubt that theyll ever put those guys in a movie lol
February 25, 2012
(oh and hey since you guys are down with Alien youve probly seen Aliens right? well if you remember when the marines go down to the reactor level of the station to see what everyone is doing down there they get ambushed (as we all know and love cause a group of 20 marines gets dropped to 6) anyway if you remember the yelling over the coms when the camra cuts back to the tank Ripley is in you can hear Hudson yelling over the coms along with a few other marines. I need, ABSOLUTELY NEED, you guys to rewatch that scene.
NEXT you need to watch AVP2 (Requiem [meaning celebration for the dead if i remember correctly... anyway]) *spoiler* when the national guard comes in on mainstreet the main group is talking to them over the radio/toolbox they got from in the store. listen closely, not to the characters but to the radio. if youve listened "properly" youll know you have. its good, its really good, so far im one of the only few people that actually "figured" it out.
anyway good night, have fun, and most importantly.... DO WHAT I SAID! I COMMAND THEE TO DO SO!
February 25, 2012
I heard that as soon as I saw that abortion in the cinema. So about 3 years ago. Full of fan service it is though, it still sucked. I haven't seen it since then.
And that last line "commanding" us, kinda does remind me of someone else.... Starts with an Ush and the end rhymes with "fuck" and I really hope you aren't one and the same person.
We will be watching.

February 25, 2012
who? anyway you noticed what was playing on the radio when you first saw the movie? i think it was pretty clever of them to do dont you? that was my favorite part of the movie other than the duel plasmacasters and predalien tho i dont like how they gave it the ability to make more aliens.... anyway who do you think i am Cypher? this is actually the first.... forum maybe? is it called? that ive ever been a part of other than some game spot ones that i never really cared about. anyway i can assure you that im not who ever you think i am. i can prove it if you want
February 25, 2012
your ok geoph just stay cool the site has experienced some unsavoury characters in the past and are weary just keep your threads clean and you will be fine.
February 25, 2012
i guess to get a reaction to be deliberately annoying etc your guess is as good as mine we just dont know.
February 25, 2012
Long Tall Sally :-P stupid computerdoiing things I don't want to do. I want mine back! :'(
But yeah sorry Geoph we've had a bit of a rough trot with idiots before, so you'll have to excuse me, I don't mean to be rude at all.
AvP:R was OK for something to do Christmas day (which is when it came out here) but it didn't grab me like I hoped it would. The fan-service bits were good though, but I think maybe too much thought went into that kind of stuff rather than a decent story....... But it was good to kill a few hours :-D
