MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 11:28 AM1) Which is your favourite Alien franchise character ? ( like Parker , Vasquez , Dillon , Johner , Dallas ...everyone except Ripley )
2) Which director would you like to direct a Prometheus 2 ( except of course Ridley Scott ) ?
3) the Weyland company in Prometheus must be : a) essential to the plot b) well present not the main factor but surely part of it c) well present but just a side plot d) just background story
4) an android , a total AI ( not a human clone then , genetic material just used for flesh, muscles ,eyes etc ... ) deserve a) total respect as a human b) lets take care of it as labor force but with some rights c) come on is a can with wires

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:05 PM1. 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:08 PM1) 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..

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:20 PM1. 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:40 PM1st 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:48 PMOh 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 12:57 PMFritz Lang would own all those dead guys in putting an atmopheric, Gigerian world on screen.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:35 PMI guess you guys have never seen Metropolis, if you think Fritz Lang directing an Alien movie is nonsense.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:41 PMIndeed, Biehn_Bandit............just remember Spartacus, they didn't even have sound in movies, when this was concieved:

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:42 PMi've seen metropolis years ago who said it was nonsense?
The nonsense was intended at the Impossibility of dead guys directing.

artyoh
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:49 PM@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?

4. B (thats a tough one to answer)

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:51 PMI 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 1:58 PM@artyoh,
Great post. I cannot, Hitch would not stand for any disobedience from her either.

Gravity .86
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 2:00 PM1: 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.

Famished
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 2:24 PM1. 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.

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 2:47 PMsorry "famished" I believe you have to change your first reply, He clearly said you cannot PIck Ripley !!!

the coming
MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 3:55 PM1) 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

MemberOvomorphApr-07-2012 4:00 PM1- 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)
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.
