The real Horror

LMFAO!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XU1MAokrrUk

I really think everybody's just goofin' around, Spartacus. Um... Right? Y'all [b][i]are[/i][/b] joking, right???

Ash'bishop... I don't think we'll have to worry, it's been so long since he's done sci-fi. I think he's had PLENTY of time to work on the storymaking ;)

"I can not lie to you about your chances". I do agree though. I hope it's just half as good as we all hope it will be.

Nice ainnozeno :) I have that worry also, given his somewhat lacklustre last few films...

Especially a rather ACIDIC steaming pile of xeno dung.

I Do hope so don't wish to have to bleach my eyeballs after seeing it!!!

it's gonna be great...i think....but it will disappoint some people....especially hard core fans.....i thought avatar was great....yet so many people hate it....tho with Avatar i never even saw a trailer....so I had no expectations....just went to see it because everyone at the time was praising it so much....i was aware of the project before it's release....but I only read a few short magazine articles before actually seeing it..... ...so no major expectations....if I got on the hype train....i might have hated it in the end....this is the danger with 'Prometheus".......i am gonna have to go view it without any major expectation....else i might be very disappointed!

To be fair though, I think I'd be happier that there were familiar themes and elements from Alien involved in Prometheus rather than it try to recapture the "lightning in a bottle" that was the original film. In short, I'd be far happier if Prometheus was it's own thing, but with some familiarity...

I like the idea of catching the subtle nods and enjoying the experience of a new Alien film from the man who started it all. I have relinquished all my speculations in favor of what RS has done with this film.

My only fear is that Damon Lindelof has deliberately withheld more meaningful linkage to the original Alien movie in order to spin it out like he did with LOST. That he's more interested in making his mark than the fans. Tha's probably unfair...but it is my fear. I DO appreciate that from what I see, it looks beautiful and grand...but I don't want to feel that it's being spun out and needlessly overcomplicated. You get one shot at this and I'd like it to be more than just a good pay day for him. M

relinquish.....yeah Myrddin365...that the perfect articulate word to describe how i feel...now that's becoming one of my favorite words....gonna be using that a lot now...I love the way it rolls of my tung....;)...forgot about that one...English is not my first language by the way!

@juxtapose Thanks! It's a great word. What is your first language?

I am Afrikaans...my first language...just like Charlize Theron...and i am from south africa just like her.....BTW her surname is pronounced "Tron"....with a rolling 'R"....not that she minds....'The-ron" sounds better! ... most my friends are English and all the music and movies are in English and i find myself almost better equipped to express my thought in English....so i love the language and i love big words....lol

The ULTIMATE horror is that the Engineer zips off his own face and there's a Na’vi inside. And then Ridley zips of HIS own face and Jim Cameron steps out. Right? Surely at least SOME of you are going to agree with this. I just have a feeling...

Perhaps even better would be if Cameron then revealed himself to have really been George Lucas all along... proving himself once and for all to be the world's biggest troll? Or is that a step too far on my part?

Face jackets

maybe the movie is different than [i]everyone[/i] thinks . [i]In spite[/i] of the trailers so to speak. And really surprises. That would be nice.

"I think dissolutionment with long awaited franchise films was planted in my head " I hear you friend. And I bet that's just what Sir Ridley thinks aswell.

I had one person on YouTube respond to my encouragement "If Sir Ridley is helming a Blade Runner prequel, there shouldn't be anything to worry about, right?" He responded with "Star Wars eps 1-3". Eugh. I think comparing Sir Ridley Scott with George Lucas is like comparing apples and oranges; sure they're both involved in the sci-fi genre, but whereas George Lucas makes epics involving lasers, huge ships, and all sorts of extraterrestrial creatures....Sir Ridley implements grit and a form of "realism" in his sci-fi movies, some of which was particularly evident in Blade Runner. As for all your fears concerning whether or not Prometheus will wind up being a steaming pile of xeno-shit (if there even is such a thing in the franchise, lol), all I can say is that you try to have just a little bit more faith. We all have high expectations for this movie; some of us may not feel totally fulfilled after seeing it, though realistically we won't know until release day. Overall, I'm sure this movie will be at least good. Personally I'm so anxious for this movie that I never think about Dark Knight Rises; it seriously never crosses my mind. (:
