[b]“Prometheus” Screenwriter Goes In On Tyler Perry[/b] Source: [url=http://theurbandaily.com/1928454/tyler-perry-prometheus-damon-lindelof/]PerryLearningLesson[/url] [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1tylerperry.jpg[/img] Tyler Perry is learning a very painful reality in Hollywood–just because you make A-list money, it doesn’t guarantee you A-list cred. While promoting the upcoming Madea Witness Protection, Perry told Blackfilm.com: “I love Sci Fi, I love the Alien movies and the Alien franchise. I was very disappointed with Prometheus, but I love that whole franchise. Those are my favorite movies. I’m actually working on a sci-fi movie right now.” Perry’s plans to make a sci-fi movie were like blood in the water. Twitter went haywire as followers created movie titles like “Madea Goes To Mars” and “Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Prometheus All By Myself.” Things really got interesting when Damon Lindelof, the screenwriter for Prometheus joined in the fray by tweeting, “I, for one CANNOT wait to see “Tyler Perry’s Better Than Prometheus.” Then for good measure, Lindelof sent the following pic (courtesy of Planet Pulp) titled “EXCLUSIVE SET PHOTO From “Tyler Perry’s Madea Killed Space Jesus”: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a1lindeloffem.jpg[/img] Lindelof ended his hilarious ribbing with “Okay. Moving on now. Tyler Perry is entitled to his opinion, and I respect him for sharing it.” No word from Perry, or Madea as of yet.

Like my profile says, I could careless if a film is good or bad... as long as it's fricken made. The points everyone are making are valid in their opinion, and that is the key to this discussion... everyone is entitled to theirs...period. Now eat some damn waffles...

Brightenrock I meant to mention this earlier...while I acknowledge that BLADE RUNNER is a HIGHLY entertaining film and like Prometheus Visually stunning one thing that I have noticed after all these years of it's release is that it has had an almost non existent "shelf life", the film is an IMPOSSIBLE BORE to watch today. Way less gratifying to see today then when it was first released in 1980 I believe it was.

Good for lindelof! What could have possibly given tyler perry the impression that he was entitled to express his opinion? Sit back down mr. perry. Mr. Scott saw your hand up, but has yet to call on you.

I could watch Blade Runner over and over and over though just to see the scenes with Joanna Cassidy in them, she was HOT at one time when she was much younger, and still looks fabulous today! She never Bores me!!! But If I am honest, today, that film does....but also in fairness to this I have seen that film about 500 times at least~maybe any film you see that much will seem boring after 35 years...no...?...

What's funny is that Perry is making fun of Prometheus when "Madea Killed Space Jesus" is EXACTLY the type of film Perry would make. Formulaic, sh*t cinema with a capital S.

@Inquisitor...Don't mind you hanging around but if you haven't gotten them by now you're obviously not going to get the answers you're looking for here or anywhere else. It's clear you think the film is sh*t and that your opinion isn't going to change. So maybe both sides should just come to grips with this fact. I have and now see you in a much different light than I did a few weeks ago. I don't think you should find it so insane that people love this film and I don't think others should find it insane that you think it's sh*t. I don't think people who liked the film should have to explain why they liked it and I certainly don't think that people that don't like it should have to explain their reasons. However, for me, the jury is still out as to why the few folks that don't like the film have hung around. It's simply a fact of forum life that both sides are going to have to deal with. I would totally understand if someone was on the fence about the film and wanted to come and further investigate to form an opinion. To be honest, I think we need both sides of the argument. There are at least 2 sides to everything. I think it's pretty foolish if you just pick a side without first considering all the info.

@Sundar... It's because Terry doesn't really make...quality movies. It's like Stephanie Meyer telling Stephen King he doesn't know how to tell a story - or how to write.

its funny, when I made this thread this morning I did so because I have respect for what Perry said... I was very impressed with this at the start... [quote] “I love Sci Fi, I love the Alien movies and the Alien franchise[/quote] & That is the cold Hard truth here! Is it not?
