http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ekfJbWrnGM Hope you all like Jurassic Park! Ridley: “ They were all melting… You know the first sci-fi movie I did when I came down from England was a sci-fi/horror movie called Alien. Really quite wonderfull, I had a wee facehugger and a chestpop… chestburster (chuckles)… … and an alien. They all moved, the alien was a man in a suit of course, but people would say they could see a real alien, oh mommy, I can see the alien, can’t you see the alien. I had facehuggers and chestbursters and a real alien... But with this movie... I wanted to show them something that wasn't an illusion. Something that was real...Something that they could...see...and touch. An aim not devoid of merit." Fan: " But you can't think through this one Ridley, you have to feel it." Ridley: " You're right, you're absolutely right. Hiring Lindelof was a mistake, that's obvious. We're over-dependant on automation from Hollywood, I can see that now. The next time everything's correctable..." Fan: " Ridley..." Ridley: " Creation is an act of sheer will. Next time it will be flawless." Fan: " It's still another LOST- episode. It's all an illusion." Ridley: " When we have control..." Fan: " You never had control, THAT's the illusion. I was overwhelmed by the hype surrounding this movie, but I made a mistake too, I didn't have enough respect for that hype and IT’s out now! The only thing that matters now are the movies we love... ALIEN and ALIENS… Ridley, they are out there where franchises are dying." Ridley: /looks concerned/ Fan: “ So…” (wipes off tears, refuses ice cream) Ridley: “ Spared no expense…” Brachiosaurus crying in the background… Was Ridley just surrounded by incompetent co-workers like John Hammond was?

You beat me to it Rubirosa, I feel bad about the whole thing... I overreacted Shawluv… I’m sorry. You’re a person just like me , who probably has been looking forward to this movie even more than I have (although we can argue about that ), and besides : A friend of the ALIEN-franchise is MY friend and you’re no coward just because I say so at all. This movie was released right in the middle of my finals and I didn’t have time to mourn yet. I honestly spent more time lurking around/ posting on this forum than studying. WAY more. It was all too much at one point I guess…people posting pissing men in my threads, Prometheus hate goggles, no reactions from staff members whatsoever (unless I piss them off.) They’re the guys/ girls running this site…and I know they probably have their hands full updating the site, deleting nonsense comments etc. And there wasn’t THAT much sarcasm in your post, Sahawluv. I just reacted like a bull to a red flag…It was ‘a bad call’…I was just expecting some comfort in the comments from these fine people who believe this movie is worth talking about or not, a pat on the back, if you will. Like there…”there facehug,( well not literally), it’s only a movie.” WRONG. For me it was THE movie, with all the promises made by Ridley about how epic it was and all the viral videos and stuff. I still look at the “Happy birthday David”-video daily since it’s just so awesome…sniff…so unforgettable. I’m not a hater, I’m just majorly disappointed. But we’re wandering off. Didn’t my thread have any substance to it? There wasn’t a debatable question I agree… but my thread is almost as ambiguous as this movie is. Here are some questions I had in the back of my mind: - Was Ridley surrounded by idiots like Dennis Nedry? (stupid question…I can see that now.) -- Did you like my little panache? Why or why not? I put SOME effort into it. - Can this ???Trilogy??? ultimately succeed or is it doomed to fail just like Jurassic Park? Are the ideas in this movie too big for us to handle? Should Ridley have stayed with his flee circus (aka ALIEN)? Hence the title, next time it will be flawless. - I’m not trying to be rude at all, but doesn’t my sadness about this movie bother you at all? Practically the first answer I received was something along the lines of “ you really think Ridley cares about some fictious fan (that’s Richard Attenborough I’m talking about here , who did all the nature documentaries, a SCIENTIST), go whine some place else…” I watched Jurassic Park the other day, and when Hammond was talking sadly about his dream that collapsed, I just couldn’t help thinking about Prometheus. That’s not wrong, is it? I had to do replace some words to put it into context and that might seem lame or easy to most of you Englishmen or Americans or whoever speaks English at home, but for me it was a whole chore. This scene stirred my emotions and I wanted to talk about it...

I liked the film alot. But I will agree with you @Gimmeafacehug that the film could of been much better. I feel that the film was rushed a bit. What I mean is that there scenes that could of been much better if only he would of let the scenes rest a bit. There were scenes that the audience would of liked to ponder more on. Where we could digest what was happening. Take it in more is what I am trying to get across. But it is what it is.

You're right, Rubirosa, it is what it is. Furthermore, there's not much point in debating a movie you don't really like, and I really tried. I'm out of here before I do any more harm.

Time ...to die. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1IzmGhyiM0&feature=related Oh, Ridley...
