-> PROMETHEUS POLL 2 <-

1....ash 2......Steven Soderbergh 3.......B 4 .....B

1... Dallas 2....Duncan Jones 3.... D ...just background 4....C..some wires and good programming dont make a living being .

i was thinking duncan jones myself but i think he needs a few more examples under his belt before i commit. The 2 films i have seen of his i liked a lot.

1.HICKS OR HUDSON 2.CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 3.D 4.C

1) Brett and Golic 2) David cronenberg 3) b 4) b

1. I liked Ripley in Alien and Aliens, in the next two crappy sequels (ok, Alien 3 was half crappy, but still) she was pretty much annoying to me. And then, Ash. 2. I don't want a sequel. But IF there is one, Ridley has to be the one. 3. B 4. B or A. Ok, B.

1) Any of the crew of the Nostromo...they all have their moments 2) RIDLEY SCOTT...case closed 3) essential 4) difficult to answer....if that became possible, they would adance to a point, eventually, where you might have to give them rights...not doing so would likely lead to the revolt scenario everyone's seen countless time in the literature..

1. Bishop and Hicks. 2. Cronenberg 3. B 4. C. but I wouldn't abuse it either, due to code of personal conduct rather than empathy for a machine.

1. Bishop 2. Tony Scott Ridley's brother or even his son Luke 3. A 4. B

1st off good morning Frantz. Have you milked any cows this morning? Best to you and yours this holiday weekend and may the Bunnies of Science Fiction Film making run a thousand nubile winning marathons and mating chants in your wife's head as she releases all your past week's stress. #1-By far, Leaps and Frikking Bounds...it is..."MORSE" In Alien3. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1Morse.jpg[/img] #2-You said which and did not specify if they have to be living or dead so I am going with this guy, please dig him out of his grave and prop him up with a short stick and I "Garren-frikkin-T-Ya" he does a better Job than any living person today ever could. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1alfred.jpg[/img] #3-B [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/A1aYutani.jpg[/img] #4-C [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1coke-base.jpg[/img]

Oh that's not fair if we are talking dead guys then there is only one choice Mr kubrick to return to the genre he really did define . lol And what would cecil b de mille do with sc fi lol. I would like to see oliver stone apply himself to a scfi as well.

Fritz Lang would own all those dead guys in putting an atmopheric, Gigerian world on screen.

LMFAO you guys...awesome... Fritz Lang [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1Fritz.jpg[/img] & Ceceil B Demille... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1Cecil.jpg[/img] LMFAO !

you started this nonsense sparty lol Bring on herschell gordon lewis

I guess you guys have never seen Metropolis, if you think Fritz Lang directing an Alien movie is nonsense.

Indeed, Biehn_Bandit............just remember Spartacus, they didn't even have sound in movies, when this was concieved: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcReykfvqi4

i've seen metropolis years ago who said it was nonsense? The nonsense was intended at the Impossibility of dead guys directing.

@alteredstate.....that's the Internet for you. Intentions are often misinterpreted. But as an exercise, thinking about how dead directors might have handled things, is kinda fun. For example, can you imagine Hitchcock not forcing Rapace to dye her hair blonde?

1. Ash 2. Chris Cunningham 3. B 4. B (thats a tough one to answer)

I laughed because I thought both choices might even be better than "Hitch" and was utterly amazed in fact that I myself did not even THINK of either, and sorry, but especially Fritz Lang, You may just be right there.

1. Dallas, 2. Guillermo Del Toro, 3. b, 4. b

@artyoh, Great post. I cannot, Hitch would not stand for any disobedience from her either.

1: The Xenomorph of course, Facehugger/Drone 2: Danny Boyle or Cameron(Aliens was a perfect sequel) 3: A, The Ted Talk viral enough said. 4: B, If the "Company" is perfecting their human characteristics they need basic rights to be accepted, goes hand in hand.

1. Ripley 2. Nolan, Alex Proyas, Alexandre Aja (as a left field name to throw in) 3. B. integral initially, but fades as the film progresses 4. That's a sentience question. If they can think, aspire, dream, they deserve rights. Imagine the predjudice scales will be through the roof, and there would/will be a likely attempt at a genocide by some adverse group.

sorry "famished" I believe you have to change your first reply, He clearly said you cannot PIck Ripley !!!

punish him sparty :((( i clearly said that !!! :p

someone pick for Me

lmao @ both you dudes!!!

1) Dallas for comedy , and Ash for acting 2)Michael Bay...just kidding The people who answered Cronenberg, Guillerme del Toro and Chris Cunningham had me interested...I think I would choose Cronenberg 3)B kinda important 4)Of course A...I am a little disgusted by the other responses...To me there is no difference between a synthetic and biological intelligence...a toaster is a primitive machine, this is AI...dont get it twisted

1- Mamoru Oshii, Chan Wook Park, or give Fincher an actual script to work off of. 2- Vasquez 3-A 4-A (if they are sentient)

Sorry, reverse the 1st two.

the coming, we'll have to agree to disagree. It's synthetic parts to me, and any perceived emotions are just calculated design. Man cannot create true life from parts made in a factory. I find the notion absurd. Yes, it is AI. Artificial.

i guess no body is voting for , ................

ME

i agree with Biehn bandit ....an AI is always a fake ...a great success in programming ..but will never be self aware ...he can fool you making you think he's ...but he will never be . Harming an android will be no more evil than harming a toaster ...even if he will scream, cry and say "noooo please nooo" .

1- Bishop and Call. Love them. 2- Dunno. 3- Dunno. 4- I would say A in the case of a movie android just because it's a given that they are sentient beings/self aware. Androids usually are portrayed as being abused/ensalved by man. Also, I am not a cruel person and I would treat an android kindly basically because that is the way my moral code works.

Heh, our brains are nothing more than organic processors which operate through electrochemical means. As for self-aware machines, a significant number of very bright people, consider it an inevitablity: http://singinst.org/overview/whatisthesingularity/

[list=1] Morse David FIncher b) well present not the main factor but surely part of it a) total respect as a human [/list]

artyoh ...you feel that you are a living being between the eyes right ? you feel your inner self right ? dont worry an inorganic thing will never feel that .

@biehn that is only one type of intelligence design, the mimic-type fake intelligence which basically comes from having a large number of cross referencing databases and only is an illusion (the dictionary states that the weyland droids have this type of intelligence, so Bishop was pretending all along...great) However there is another theoretical type which is pure intelligence, basically the human brain functions re-created exactly with synthetic parts..are you telling me an identical copy of the human brain would not have awareness? I say it would I think humans tend to overrate themselves a little bit, like someone else said we are nothing but a biological machine...if you lack the imagination to see that synthetic parts on a small enough and complex enough scale would be indistinguishable from organic life then I feel sorry for you...
