MemberOvomorphApril 07, 20122592 Views51 Replies1) 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

@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 !!!

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)
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

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 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/

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...
