MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 12:28 AMI need to know since I'm writing about it. Orrery is the proper spelling, but I've seen (here) the control room spelled Orrey. I used the latter, but I had someone kindly inform me that was the "wrong spelling". Could someone clear this up?

MemberOvomorphJun-30-2012 8:29 PMAnyone else fascinated by Orrery's in film?
I think the first one I can remember is from The Dark Crystal inside the castle of Aughra (the one-eyed woman who says "Looks like Gelfling... Smells like Gelfling... "
It was just incredible--- a massive structure the crew actually built for the film, Aughra has to 'duck' to miss one of the planets swinging by if I remember correctly...

MemberOvomorphJul-01-2012 2:58 PMThe Dark Crystal was one of my favorite movies. Kinda weird, dark and mystical. Don't make them like that anymore.

MemberOvomorphJul-20-2012 9:25 AMOrrery..is not a word that is used daily in the 'hood..and I thought it was made up!
The orrey in Prometheus is quite spectacular and I assume practical to Enginners in the daily life...whenever that was.
I would think this display requires additional investigation into the life of Engineers/Creators and where else they travelled to.
Some of the sets so elaborate that it is a shame if we don't see them again an any future movies..
