Hi all, I'm old enough to remember the responses to "Alien"...people (allegedly) leaving the cinema only to vomit in the bathrooms due to certain scenes ... Is anyone honest enough to admit that the "Milburn/Fifield" audio has them somewhat apprehensive? While not necessarily gory, it sounds disturbing... Are there any of a sensitive* nature among us? *[i]No, I'm not being disparaging.[/i]

@lilmatt Read your thread title and responded to that....as for what else you said... In 79, I didn't see any puke reactions the first time I saw it in Hollywood but that was an industry crowd, but not even they were prepared for the visual and sonic blast that hit the audience. When I saw it again a few weeks later I witnessed a scene in the theater where someone left and wanted their money back ....they were really pissed off...other people also got up and left. Nothing in this movie will move me out of my seat. Difficult to explain the power of Alien in its day...if you were not there you'll never know...it was a paradigm shift in the experience of viewing a film in a theater

Forever war.....I would add the exorcist and Texas chain massacre as the paradigm shifts of their time, unconventional...groundbreaking. Add the suspense of Jaws, a movie who's whole success and feel can be attributed to a broken mechanical shark, and the explosion that Star Wars created in sci if interest and I think Ridley had all the elements in place to create a true original

I'm sincerely hoping for scary but NOT nauseating. Or worse, someone throwing up on me! If the script is cerebral, sickening isn't necessary.

I am definitely planning on being there for the midnight show. My girlfriend and I will be sporting our upcoming website T-shirts (which I hope many of you win!) While we wait in line. Gonna have pizza and snacks and I'll be on our Twitter postingall the excitement! Haha But there is no way I'm waiting to see Prometheus. I'll brave the crowds. Hell, the more people there - the more who see our T-shirts and the more who come here to discuss! Should be a great thrill ride. Can't wait!
