Laughably bad dialogue thread

Yer that was feking awful 2 kane77 and thats a ridley choice not part of the script - and why is there no protection round the head etc...so obvious it was a ploy to add tension to the film having it in a slowly moving conveyor belt to a protective housing at teh end of the belt WTF?! Some bits were like an awful B movie others quiet intelligent - very fekin strange film - just hope it gets better!

"It's Christmas, and I want to open my present" (Charlie's explanation for why he simply *must* rush over to the dome structure IMMEDIATELY upon arrival, regardless of the fact that there are only 6 hours of light left. Sending some drones to do some surveys first just won't do. Two year trip, trillion dollars, signs of alien life - why be cautious?)

"Im a geologist, I LOVE ROCKS" VERY poor acting.

"Doesn't every child wish to see their parents dead?" Uh...no, actually....they don't.

"Every king has his reign, then he dies. It's inevitable." groan.

Is there some, ah, AGENDA going on here that we're not aware of, Mr. Spunkmeyer?

sukkai....your av is rightside up now !

[quote]Is there some, ah, AGENDA going on here that we're not aware of, Mr. Spunkmeyer?[/quote] This thread reviews the laughably bad lines of dialogue the script is riddled with.

"We call them Engineers" "What did they engineer?" "Us" Ooooooooh - so deep. And powerful. And deep.

Half quote "...While we're half a billion miles away from Earth!!" ... OH REALLY? So just passing Jupiter then?

I think that was half a "bajillion" miles...

@Jett — Sometimes I'm more *present* than others...

A lot of the dialogue was way too stilted or weird. Compare it with the natural dialogue from Alien and you can see why people might be disappointed.

"Hey baby" =>Milburn to the cobra O.o "She's mesmerized" Again, Milburn to the cobra...You're the one who's mesmerized, pal. "Must have been a glitch" => Janek about the alien lifeform...probably mankind's most important discovery...ever, and he almost immediately assumes it's a glitch after it dissapears from the scan. And I believe during the mission briefing Millburn also said something like: "If you wanna discount three centuries of Darwinism, that's...WHOOOO!"

"This is like finding Moses' DVD collection!" ...oh, wait...

Just about anything Holloway said, out of all the scientists in the world they had to bring along this ahole. " It's Christmas time...blabla" " Hey, David why do you even wear a suit, you don't breathe" " I guess it's a good thing you can't be dissapointed" Something about David not being a real boy. He seems to hate androids, even though he's a scientist. He even fails to be nice to his girlfriend of which he knows she cannot have children: "All you need to create life is a bottle DNA." God does not build in straight lines

"It isn't a map - it's an invitation" Wrong - again. Where did you say you earned your degree?

[quote]God does not build in straight lines[/quote] I love that one! Maybe the cheesiest line in the whole movie. He couldn't just say "Look - a structure!". No, he has to be all faux-intellectual with a pronouncement "GOD DOES NOT BUILD IN STRAIGHT LINES". Come to think of it, the structure was a dome, wasn't it?
