New screening report

MemberOvomorphMay 14, 20124422 Views131 RepliesSo I was checking [url=http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=43427.0]AVP Galaxy[/url] this morning as I usually do, and I stumbled upon someone that has supposedly seen an advance screening of the film.
The guy writes a little preface:
[i]"Hello after searching online to discuss prometheus i found this fan site. I along with others who sent comments via facebooks 'areyouseeingthis' were invited to see a special screening of Prometheus in London. I sent a facebook message on it how amazing the trailer looked and how I'm not a scifi fan but this has hyped me up for the film. I got a PM via email from 20th century fox who invited me to see the film. I didn't have to pay for ticket but i did have to pay the £67 in travelling expenses."[/i]
I've read his description of the plot and...well. Its different. Nothing like we've heard before. He doesn't push to hit any of the plot points that we've discovered through our collective analysis on this forum. And his plot description answers a really BIG debate a lot of us have been having here. I can only find one contradiction to what we already (think) we know.
I would suggest giving this a read just out of curiosity. Please let me know what you think.
[Just a quick addition:]
There is one factor that makes me think this might actually be real:

And this quote from Arthur Max (production designer) from an interview in SFX magazine:
[i]“This race of interplanetary visitors who have given us upgrades – mentally and physically – over the millennium”. [/i]

The original thread's title was:
PROMETHEUS ADVANCED SCREENING I WAS THERE
I moderated the post with MAJOR SPOILERS WITHIN!! so that people had any hint of spoilers was in it, and then another one of our staff members deleted it because they felt the original poster had violated the Forum rules, here for your perusal........
Follow these guidelines when posting replies, comments and new topics.
Absolutes:
- No overly offensive language, it's not needed.
- No offensive pictures/links to pictures/links to sites which promote offensive content.
- No links to sites that promote pirating films or other illegal activities.
- Do not post topics in the wrong board if possible.
- Ensure your topic TITLE is descriptive of the topic content.
- Grammar - use it good. (Yes, that is sarcasm, use proper grammar please)
- Respect each other and the staff.
- Do NOT use the Status Board to vent or complain about other individuals.
Courtesies:
- Do not post links to your website throughout these boards or on our facebook page. Advertising is fine and if you've signed up as an affiliate of ours that is fine, but do not just start a thread with a link to your site, or another site. This is not a search engine for indexing other websites, it is its own site with its own content. We appreciate you taking the time to write your own ideas.
- Sourcing; if you get info or an article from another site, do source it at the bottom or top of your post. It gives credit where credit is due and everyone's happier when you show that courtesy.
- PM system; Do not spam people's inboxes with links to sites which violate the forum rules. Do not send a member a PM if it is to personally harass them. We will NOT tolerate such activity.
- Newbies vs. Veteran Members; We're all a part of the same community. We all are here because we love ALIEN and think Prometheus is going to be the most incredible film of the year. Veteran members, welcome newcomers with open arms and open minds.
Please follow these rules and guidelines to help the staff run these boards smoothly. If we all treat each other with respect and kindness, then this site will remain the number 1 Prometheus fan site on the net. This website's success depends on you. So take care of this forum! It's as much yours as it is mine!
And in that regard, I also felt that courtesy had not been followed in this instance, I stand 100% behind the staff member responsible for the deletion.

I read it and here's why I am dubious. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
1. It says the little snake snaps at people and then gets into Fifields suit. It wasn't fifield saying "it's in my suit!" Nor is it Fifield's mouth it jumps out of toward the third female's neck. Which he never mentions. (shame on me for not remembering her name, but she's not hot)
2. It says weyland gets to the ship all by himself and shoots david a lot. Does he shoot him so much that his head pops off and starts rolling around? How does he get infected and turn into an Engineer so fast? Because there is only an Engineer in the room with David's decapitated body.
3. He says Shaw and Holloway have a "make out" session and he has no idea how her fetus gets infected. They straight get it on and it should be OBVIOUS how that twisted little bun got in the oven.
This was a well written, well thought out hoax.
Safe? Of course he isn't safe, but he's good!
May 14, 2012
Alright, I caved. My honest thought? I'm about 65% sure it's fake. It's missing some pieces here and there, and while the ending is... tantalizing... it relies too heavily on support from a sequel to even be able to stand on its own. RS has said a sequel would be possible, not required.
That being said, if this does turn out to be real... well done! I'll still be there at 12:01 AM June 8th, enjoying the hell out of myself.

@cypher
your fascination with bacon is totally awesome, and I agree with the spoiler tag thing and I totally don't mind it was taken down by what you said I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have) a few times so I just wanted to say I think we should try and be mature to outsiders look, I didn't even get a chance to talk to him on here because it was gone so quick and then he got banned before I could even explain to him to read some other posts to get an idea of how things are and to put a spoiler tag or whatever.
yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes
May 14, 2012
Yet another load of codswallop.
And what does the seeming similarity to Arthur Max's comment prove?
Do you really think the weirdo who wrote up this latest hoax wouldn't have read all the same stuff/seen all the same clips/etc. that all of us here have?
Seriously... if I was up to it I could write up a doozy of a fake 'advance screening' review and plaster it all over the internet - just by putting together all the information we already have.
Fortunately, I've got better things to do with my life than go around hoaxing people.

@SaintsSinphony, I agree with you that it was quick to happen, the staff member responsible is still finding his legs as a Moderator here and just thought he was doing the right thing
[quote]I just don't like people getting beat up for nothing I've just seen it (you know I have)[/quote]
Yeah, I have. It sucks, but like I said, no one is afraid to use the voice the Internet affords them. Unfortunately it happens to the best of us, we are all human. I think :-P
[quote]yes I prefer here than avpgalaxy though those dudes are really whacky sometimes[/quote]
Man, I'm pretty hard-core when it comes to sci-fi, and I try to analyze everything I see and hear to come up with a logical conclusion for anything I'm interested in, but those guys are something even I cannot handle in large doses.
And bacon is just friggin' fantastic :-D

...well ....i said it before and I will say it again....it's a good story...weather fake or real......i can think of way worse ways this plot could play out!!...their did not seem to be any time travel involved at least and it was'nt over complicated either...with plenty of action and gore....just the very ending to me sounds kinda boring ....not that i could ever really envision what happens in that last few minutes.....but neither could the writer of this supposed plot apparently...
And it seems almost too short to fit into 2 hours....but he could have left out a whole bunch of things while he wrote it and getting characters names wrong is hardly any base for people to call it fake....especially if his not a sci -fi fan!
But part of me is still hoping it's fake...just cause I did not wanne get spoiled to that degree (IF...it turns out to be the real plot!)....and after saying that...reading someone's rambled down account of a movie he saw is hardly the same as seeing the movie play out in 3d in an actual theater....so i am every bit as excited as before!

I read the first 2 paragraph's and I knew it was rubbish ...because it didn't get me gripped ... I will read the whole lot and won't be put off at all ...
That review has more holes in it than the TEA BAG I just used ... plus, there's too many 'I thinks' and 'I believes?' in there ... I do know that if i saw that movie I would be able to write the whole thing out in pure detail ...
And I wouldn't really say it was well written or well thought out ... just a bad hoax ... ;) ...
The reason why a majority thinks it's a good review is because I would've taken into account peoples reactions from a few forums whether to include this or take that out ... therefore you have what people like ;) ...
I've gone to buy a new coat ... cos I might need it later ... lol ...

HAL9000 isn't human, I'm sure of it now, but that means he can't eat bacon, man what a bummer
May 14, 2012
LOL Gem]n[, well put :-D and I still cannot buy that an advance screening wasn't found out by just about everyone hanging out for this. If there was a screening, it must have been in the Queen's bomb shelter for absolutely no news to be released about it.......................

[b]@Cypher[/b] You removed the link from the thread? How the hell can you justify that? That's some really sub-par moderation you've got going there.
May 14, 2012
Sorry, just trying to keep the peace........ Would you like me to re-instate it? I'm pretty reasonable, you just have to ask :-) no offense intended at all dude.............

@mentos
I think some people wanted to have a bit more of a spoiler warning but some people don't mind it's been bit of a back and forth on this issue
I"m going to give my tablet a piece of bacon through the usb port and see if it runs faster......................well that didn't go so good
