Stranded

Hal, I'm starting to believe maybe you ARE an engineer because you seem to have all the answers! Instead of trying to badger me because I have a different viewpoint then your own why don't you just go ahead and recap the movie for us scene by scene since you already know everything about it. Why are you even in the forums if you already know everything about it? Why don't you just go ahead and share it then? The only thing I'm "massively disappointed" in is your insistence to try to cut down every single thing I say in here. Let it go. Agree to disagree and move on. I'm asking you nicely.

Kanderson, I don't know when I've ever looked more forward to the last 8 mins of a movie before. twisted. LOL.

Maybe they could build a campfire, sing a few songs...

@donholbrookjr: Will you quit getting all personal about this already? If you've really read my comments thoroughly, then you'd have seen that I wasn't even addressing you directly anymore. I have realised that you have your strong opinion about it and that's absolutely fine with me. I couldn't care less! Speculations pop up every minute around here, that is what the forum is about, amongst other things. But only few peeps come along and speculate about something which is commonly accepted and officially confirmed as fact! You really don't get that, do you? However, all I've done is give my personal opinion and critizised a general attitude amongst certain fans, not naming you. Furthermore, I have not the slightest intention to recap or have the movie recapped for me. In fact, the less I know about it the better. But I do follow the official viral campaign, as this information is intended for the audience to be known and I do trust Scott/FOX that they're doing the right thing there. Why don't you join the next twitter Q&A and ask Ridley personally why in the original 1979 Alien there's no Prometheus wreckage seen around the derelict ship on Acheron? I'd love to see his face! I was born in 1970, so I consider myself indeed as a very passionate and enthusiastic fan, and surely as someone who knows his way around the facts, having seen all 4 movies back and forth dozens of times, on big and small screens. I have been looking forward to something like Prometheus for just over 27 years my friend, so don't you dare to question or redicule that. I literally grew up with things around the Alien franchise. So let's move on swiftly and I am asking you to accept my opinion just as I have accepted yours. But frankly, I think it is not me who has to let go of something here...

"Banter cannon misfire"

At the end of the day, I think we all just want to feel the same about Prometheus as we do about A L I E N. I don't know about you guys but the hairs on the back of my kneck are already standing up. Whatever direction the new film takes I have no doubt that Ridley will be taking us on a helluva ride! Enjoy it my fellow men/women.

@The Lone Gunwoman: Well said, I can only second that! My entire body hair has been standing straight up since I first heard about Ridley's return to revisit the ALIEN universe, especially after so much crap (IMO) has been produced over the years. And because I know he's an old skool film maker, I have no doubts that he will take us all on an inrcedible journey and will give the slightly 'damaged' genre of Sci-Fi a good overhaul! Despite many fan's opinions, I'm also looking forward to whatever he has planned for the Blade Runner prequel/sequel. Just imagine how much potential for story is in all the 'Off-Worlds' and why did man decide to build human-like androids/replicants in the first place. I know it's off topic but I thought it was worth mentioning in the context of your last message! I CANNOT WAIT for next week!!

It's been a long wait HAL! I've been wishing for his return to SF for years. Agree with you on him giving the genre a much needed overhaul. There's been nothing as exciting since Bladerunner & Carpenters version of The Thing! (That had the coolest mechanical effects, better than any CGI in my humble opinion) Ridley's a total genius, he knows that realism works best & that's why he creates such believable, 'used' worlds. That's my second wish come true......him returning to Bladerunner. Can't wait!!!

Lambert: I can't see a goddam thing. Kane: Quit giping. Lambert: I like griping.

Dallas: Come on, knock it off! LOL

Gotta agree with you folks, it's been a long wait. When I first saw teaser number one, saw the name Prometheus spelled out slowly like in A L I E N, and heard that eerily similar kind of music from the first Alien teaser/trailer way back in 1979, the hair on the back of my neck definitely stood up. Of course, the vision onscreen that really sealed the deal though, was the statement "A Film by Ridley Scott". That changed everything. 11 days and change...
