WTF ONLY 2 HOURS

Yeah but what questions have to be answered, Shane? There [i]is[/i] a jockey ship in this movie. If there's no where, what, or why elluded to, surely that's a piss in the face?

It's a ship. One of many. We are dealing with an age old race that probably created humanity. I can accept they have spread pretty far across the galaxy at this point. We will get to know their race, the way they work. How fucked up they are. To me, that is way more interesting at this point then how the jockey in alien got where he was. Way I see it, it will be easier to ruin alien as a movie then to tell that story and enhance alien even more. it is far easier to drop the jockey ball then to run with it. So don't go near it. Give background surrounding it[the jockey race] but not the character in the chair that we have known for 30 years.

Like I said on the other thread, at least we can take comfort in knowing Ridley will eventually release a directors cut... :/

Jeez, they're probably still editing/adding effects in post. We've recently seen changes in the trailers, for goodness sake! I seriously doubt that [i]anyone[/i] knows the precise running time as of yet.

Lindelof said at the Q and A that the film was 2 hours but reading between the lines i think he was just quoting a ball park figure there and i'm thinking that the film will be in the region of 2.20 min to 2.40 that's my guess. We could hold a stake and the nearest one to the release time movie length wins a bun or something .

Well if the story is good and effective than you only need 2 hours I guess...
