-----------------------------------------------------------------Lindelhoffed /ˈLinDəˌlôfd/
Verb:
1
a : Similar to a "Rick Roll", when one is conned into viewing a series of moving pictures with no conclusive finale, despite the viewer investing a lot of emotion and time in the story.
b (1) : a bottom feeder (2) : to Lindelhoff, much like a cock tease, when a sexual partner brings the other to the point of climax but then bails just before reaching orgasm.

haha dude you are funny.. but at least Lindelof said in that last interview that he didnt want to go back to Lost's terrain. He said it was Ridley who wanted ambiguity.

But when this movie comes to America, the sh*t is really going to hit the fan

I don't think it's the writer or director you should blame if you didn't like Prometheus - but yourself. Obviously the film was not bad and the story was was very ambiguous - for many of us really enjoyed it!
I won't repeat myself again, but you need to go into Prometheus with an open mind and appreciate it for what it is - a beginning of something new which poses many questions which only leave us with more to speculate and grow on with future sequels.
I love it - it means this franchise is not dead and will not end any time soon. As a FAN - that's what I want. I would have been disappointed if Prometheus answered all its questions and ended with the beginning of Alien.

BugHunter - lets be real were all adults, it was ponk. As the host of the thread states, we were lindlehoffed, (see: ridleplexed) the film was atrocious and aimless, no story line, no reference to the alien universe other than the names (Weyland) and the ships, oh yeah and an android that looked like it had insides like ash, bishop and call. Thats it all else was garbage. So talk of 'being open minded' and 'the beginning of something new' thats all lost on me as this wasn't what we went to the cinema to see had it been i wouldn't have bothered and instead just put on a dvd of Harry blasted Potter and the philosophers stone cos hey, 'thats the beginning of something new'.
If Prometheus is the start of something new, then i ain't interested, as whats starts out rubbish often finishes worse! (anyone remember that franchise that had a brilliant beginning and then descended into a farce of rehashes and remakes? I think it was called 'Alien' or something?)

I used to think that M. Night Shyamalan did the biggest face plants until Damon Lindelof came along.

i think the sequel will involve the engineers ship crash landing onto a desert island full of polar bears, wispy black smoke, and people in bunkers endlessly typing number sequences into 70's computer terminals
The during the summer of 2019 we will find out that the Nostromo crew actually were all dead due to the hull breach whilst landing on LV426
40 years of my life flushed because a third rate writer couldn't think of an ending (as usual)

Hmmmm. :
Honestly, I don't know much about Mr. Lindelhoff, so I can't really take a stand to make a competent judgment about him or his work (not to mention that I have 6 days to go 'til this movie comes out). I'd rather not have to resort to the blame-game, either; fault and blame shouldn't exist, but obviously we do not live in a more perfect world, and fault and blame have their purposes, sad but true.....so personally, until I know all details for certain, I blame Fox, because when all is said and done, it is the publisher that has the final say, as they are the ones with the power.
From what little details I've read about the end of this movie, I am seriously thinking there's been some "executive meddling" going on. I don't know if that's the right term, but what I mean is that some guy from the corporate culture infringed on the movie's development, and for all I know it was Fox that decided to release all these trailers that ended up revealing a bit too much before release. The TMI-filled trailers and TV spots has to do with how things are these days; someone on YouTube described it perfectly in an Alien 1979 trailer by saying that "everyone has to be spoon-fed," when comparing that trailer to modern trailers for upcoming motion pictures.
I'm still anxious to see Prometheus, but these 6 days are testing my patience. )x
