MemberOvomorphMay-20-2012 11:37 PM(POSSIBLE SPOILERS)
Do you all think they would have revealed this much of the film if we (this board, others like it) weren't all so freakishly devoted to it?
***POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW****
People have been complaining/ mentioning all of the potential huge spoilers we've been shown (engineers onboard Prometheus, shaw adult squid, Milburns mouthsnake etc) ....
***END SPOILERS****
Do you think they're just taking us further down the rabbit hole because we're all basically asking for it? I'm curious, if anticipation for Prometheus was just like any normal film (where ppl dont dissect trailers, etc) do you think that Fox/Ridley/Advert Campaign would still be revealing this much? They keep showing us more and more and more ...

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 4:30 PMWell, someone else said it somewhere else, and I think so, too: Ridley Scott is too clever to just sit around and watch some marketing guys f**k up his story by showing stupid trailers.
It is so easy for a talented director to start the whole movie not at release date but back half a year in past, and to include *all* publicly shown excerpts in how the plot is "directed". The fun part for this is, that he can hold carrots out for us to follow and to lead us somewhere totally wrong, believing that now the film won't be good anymore after seeing so many clips in advance. If he is really clever, and I think he is, than he writes a script (or lets it be done) how to guide the public while showing clips, how to raise expectations and how to incept some thoughts about what might be going on. Yes, the "inception" idea might be what is happening since half a year. All the false beliefs are being incepted, only to make the bang even greater.

AdminPraetorianMay-23-2012 12:51 PMHoly McGeez Spartacus, I just read your post. ZOMG, Calm the heck down! LOL! You seem horrified anyone could think Noomi is pretty. Not just one template is the correct one. I find BOTH women beautiful, and they are.
Have you even seen a proper picture of Noomi?? The way you talk about her looks is the same as if I based my judgement of Charleze's looks soley off her role in "Monster". [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/1251479.jpg[/IMG]

Noomi's looks were made to be offputting to men in the movie "Girl with the dragon tattoo". In real life she is very stunning.
