Thank You Spartacus

I bow my head and give a slow, generous clap of appreciation to Spartacus for his brilliant response...could not have said it better.

& MW3...I have absolutely NO Hatred for you, just think you just have been a bit confused to write what you did...I do not think there is any reason what so ever for you to worry so much you felt you needed to make it official, your concern that is, by announcing it. To me that's "stinkin' thinkin'"as Stuart Smalley would have said. He is not a licensed therapist as you probably already know.

@ Sparky Nice to see you so passionate again....actually I suppose u have always been...there is so many new people on here i lose track....nice to see some old timers like myself...got a new job and it's murder....too much to do!....so I have not been coming here as often as before... Anyway what is considered a large movie budget these days?.....Read a recent interview with Ridley where he said that it was actually quite cheap to make the movie....he tried to steer clear of to many cg effects....unlike James in Avatar...not that he blasted James....he sounded almost like he was in admiration of his patience....but 225 million....i doubt it was that much?.....i think that fox cut the cost to 150 million after they basically rewrote the plot or expanded on it with Damon... ....but anyway if the trailers is anything to go by...their seems to be plenty of spectacular effects involved...plus i read that the people who cut the trailers was not even allowed access of the last 12 minutes of the movie....thats where the Alien DNA is supposed to play a major part.....I seriously cannot stop watching all the trailers...even without those 12 minutes...it looks.....I dunno words cannot describe.....but just goose flesh all over....every-time....lol

I get the same goosbumps Juxtapose...I play them so much that I think my family is ready to kill me....

amazing info on the whole thing Juxtapose thanks so much and thank you for sharing that info...amazing tidbit about the last 12 mins man. Incidently Now here is something from the Alien Franchise I think "Blows", and Ridley Scott had 100% of NOTHING to do with it. LMFAO.

@ craigamore I actually close the door so they don't hear me playing it....AGAIN!!!...it's like I cannot go threw a fucking day without watching it.....is this behavior abnormal?....witch is your favorite trailor....i love the one with Charlize in the beginning about the king .....thats my favorite and for some reason that TV spot 3 add with Noomi screaming at the end ......DIIIEEEEE!....that bit....i love it!

the derelict craft itself and the appearance of the sj in the trailers is enough to justify the quoted dna of alien.

@ Sparky...well i also just read that somewhere....dunno how accurate it is....i mean about the last 12 minutes....tho it does make sense!...and yes that picture of the alien-baby thing in resurrection.....so not a good concept...it's a fucking deformed zombie ....not an alien...sigh!...;)

you guys are giving me goosebumps by just describing those moments. That's it, pouring a beer and Jacking up the surround, watching it again.

@Justapose...yea, lmao.

ALWAYS BETTER WITH A BEER...LOL I know u a big fan of charlize as well...go check out the new trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman.....she is dazzlingly wicked...and this is coming from a gay boy! And check out the interview here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73VYi2p4dXA ...love her to bits...very funny!

I love that full length trailer, but I think it's day to day for me; there's this haunting elegance to the UK trailor and of course, there's the spine tingling BRMMM..BRMMMMM....BRMMMMMMM of the teaser that just gets me giddy as a school boy all over again..

@jextapose will do, have been meaning to, read an article online about it the other day. @Craigmore, the other trailers are really really good too, I particularly love the International one.

@mw3 I think you ask a valid question. Contrary to some other opinions, I think that PROMETHEUS could very well end up a stinker…especially for what’s being expected of it. Obviously, just about every member of our little club here, is a serious ALIEN fan…to one degree or another. The problem is that people have different tastes, plain and simple. For instance, I think that KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is a bad film…that’s beautifully shot, costumed, and cast. It was pretty well made. However, when compared to the actual history, it’s unrealistic, corny, and fraught with politically correct lies and agendas. Plus, it’s kind of a snore. And the score…scavenged together from other films like THE CROW and THE 13th WARRIOR. But, many other members of this site enjoy and even love that flick. I wish I could…as not to tarnish Sir Ridley’s record. BLADE RUNNER is one of my favorite films, yet bombed hard in the box office. PROMETHEUS might end up being “right up my alley”…but be crap in somebody else’s opinion. To actually answer your question, I will be very disappointed...as I am with the direction the STAR WARS, INDIANA JONES, and MATRIX sagas went. Oh well, it's only a movie. We’re all gonna go to the theatre that day with our own personal wish lists…and as you know, not every kid is satisfied on Christmas morning. I just selfishly hope that at least I will be. ~N

Well put Neurion

...for me the international one is the best....i just wish i can get a download with slightly better quality...." a king has his reign.... and then he dies....it's inevitable"....what does that mean?....and the "cut it off!!!!... cut it off....!" part always gets my hairs standing on end.....when Noomi is standing their all sweaty in her underwear and she blows a saliva bubble threw her mouth while she clamps her hands together....darn she reminds me so much of Ripley....she even looks like Ripley in that scene ...I am beginning to see why Ridley chose her as the heroin...or the new Ripley as many has described her character....

@ spartucus oh u must check out Snowwhite....it really is the only other movie I am truly anticipating this year.....with Prometheus being the main big one of-cause!

I think the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven is one of Ridley's best films, and I didn't even care for the theatrical version. Besides Orlando Bloom in the role, I saw nothing corny about it. Whether it's historically accurate or not is of no concern to me. That's not the purpose of drama. As far as the 'historical' fiction genre, it beats the pants off of any other Hollywood film in the last 10 years, although I heard the director's cut of Alexander is a similar leap in quality over the original release. But that's besides the point. I have a very good track record at assessing something's' quality or appeal based on a few previews, and I have no doubt Prometheus will be awesome, and the most sophisticated and important of the summer blockbusters. But if it sucks, then it sucks. There's always Cosmopolis and Django Unchained.

@Neurion ->Nice to see you and happy Easter/Passover to you and yours and also, did you read this ENTIRE thread.? Just curious if you read my initial comment? You were disappointed in The Star Wars sags...?... I was too...but NOT at all with regard to the FIRST 3 FILMS.. Same for the Jones Trilogy...?...I thought the first 3 Films were ALL WICKED, number 3 went over the line a bit though I agree and 4 was ridiculous. BladeRunner was absolutely stunning the first time I saw it, think it has a deplorable replay value though and the more you have seen that directors cut the more BORING it gets. Just so you see I am a fair and impartial guy and call 'em like I see 'em. Had a crush though for many years on that actress he kills in it who he chases through the streets while she dances around the city in her freaking stupid plastic ballerina outfit. Think she did a bunch of bit parts I have seen her in including some Stephen King Film roles. Lastly If all of your wishes aren't fulfilled X-Mas morning, I will redeem your price of admission to the film. Edit: I agree completely and totally with everything you sad about Kingdom of Heaven, have watched it over and over again and my observations are EXACTLY THE SAME AS YOURS ON THAT ONE. Found it to be so UNLIKE Ridley to release a film like that and think he was using it as a major experiment in the end to test the responses of theater goers!!!
