Move to the Spoilers if you think this is where it belongs... But so as to avoid such, i dont want this thead to be posting images of Cuddles... I just want to touch upon how Ridley said the Xeno had been done to death, and it was time for a change.... Now the Xeno was Original, many creatures in many movies have kind of ripped off the Xeno to some extent even as far as Pumpkin Head. But would a creature that is either mainly like a Squid, or some kind of Squid looking Xeno really be Orginal.... As the Squid/Tentacle monster/alien been done to death more so.... From Mountains of Madness to many other movies inc The Faculty Crikes we assume that Cuddles plus Engineer = Xeno.... but would Cuddles in a Suit just be a Dalek lol [img]http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/d/df/True_Dalek_Form.jpg[/img] I am just hoped for a bit more you see, because while Face Hugger and Xeno was orginal, and Snakepede or whatever they are are also kind off Orginal (or maybe not when we see bigger picture). Is going the route of done and dusted tentacle monsters something thats been done to death more so.... Looking at a image that i posted ages ago when someone told me the Xeno looks like this but with 4 tentacles that he saw on set..... The image was not far off these guys from Independance Day.... [img]http://watchplayread.com/files/2011/03/Independence-Day-film-also-known-by-its-promotional-abbreviation-ID4-.jpg[/img] Which funny enough, fits the description i got from that person, who said it was a cross between a Xeno Queen and the Prawn Things from District 9 with tentacles.... Which come to think about it is pretty much Independance Day Alien suit looked a lot like..... So even if its like that and not the many other simular tentacle monster flicks, its hardly Orginal? Mind you the Saucer at the Water Fall Scene is near enough the same as the Independance Day ones... Maybe indeed the Proto Xeno is based on Space Jockeys, in that what we get is Independance Day Alien and in his suit a Space Smurf..... so maybe this movie is the prequel to Independance Day lol.....

Wirrn: Yes I did. I read all Arthur C. Clarke's work. Yet I have to say 3001 was interesting for Franks reappearing and the Moon as a repository for all that is Dark and grim in Human History [the Vault]. Still, my favourit SciFi Novel is Dune and it's sequels.

you say it was "time for a change" but CLEARLY as Shaw Proves out right by looking up at it, it is NOT a MURAL it is moving and IMO is part of a Large defense system all over that cave involving XENOMORPHS as we knew them in Alien, and I mean anyone that saw that image of that thing and does not admit that's a XENO is in denial IMO...and I am in fact saying it is CLEARLY a Xenomorph, Clearly Moving and/or coming to life and CLEARLY that thing is far far far far far more than just a mural and then there is the very and completely ill logical nature of that argument and thought. NO race of beings of the type that it appears the Engineers are is wasting their time on the cave Decor in their most important and "holiest of holies" for when MOM comes to visit....there's just NO WAY...remember you heard it from me first so you can come back and lace into me when we find out how wrong i was or....be ready for Spartacus to say..."I Told You So" !!!

@Cryo I wondered about that too... Great piece of music though. Maybe Holloway (if, and only if he's the SJ, as many people seem to think) reverts back somehow, or regains a bit of humanity and recognises Shaw before he dies. Although I'll admit I would need to take that cheese with a heavily buttered cracker.

Cameo appearances are never credited normally ... only at the end of the movie itself ... ;) ... I remember watching Robin Hood (kostner version) and Sean Connery was at the end of the movie ... total surprise ... the whole cinema lost breath for a split second ... he wasn't not listed until end of movie ... [b]From IMDB:[/b] [quote]Why it is that, occasionally, well-known actors have significant roles in movies but are not listed in the credits? Well-known actors have made cameo appearances in a movie and their name is not included in the credits to avoid spoiling the surprise or drawing too much attention to what is essentially a very minor (but often pivotal) role. Sometimes the missing credit is the result of a billing dispute: a big-name actor makes an appearance in the film and, rather than getting a minor or non-prominent credit, may prefer to take no credit at all.[/quote]

Erm.... Well i noticed on IMDB that Sigourney Weaver is listed at the bottom under ... additional cast.... so i take it she was edited into the cast after the movie release. Oh well maybe we shall see her in this movie or even Lance Henriksen then? Oh knows....
