What do Prometheus, Maynard James Keenan of Tool etc and wine have in common?

I've been into wine for a while and got even more into it when I went to a signing Keenan had at a Whole Foods to promote his, at the time, fairly new venture.
Somehow I had totally missed that they made a documentary called "Blood into Wine" which tells the story of Keenan and his partner Eric Glomski's venture into not-so-wine country.
Anyway, I was watching it and Keenan said something about a bit of his strategy that really hit home in regards to Prometheus and why I dig it, Ridley Scott, wine, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, Maynard and many other things. He said...
[i]"I've built an entire career on not giving away the whole farm as far as explaination. It's been an element of I'll give you or I'll present you with a particular odor and then throw it out in the air. Then you have some kind of sense of memory of those shapes, colors, sizes, sounds and you draw from your own experience. Then if you have...if there's missing pieces and you're the kind of person that likes to ask questions there's gonna be a lot for you to discover." [/i]
This statement perfectly explains many things I love and with Prometheus so prevalent in my mind recently it really hit home and made me want to share it.
It's not a mistake that the film is the way it is. The filmakers thought it through. While trying to keep a bit of mass apeal they made a film that was also aimed at a specific audience. They hit that audience right in the bullseye and I know because I'm one of them. There may not be many of us but we are around and we appreciate the bold, brave film Scott and co set out to make.
Wow, I have to stop there as I sound pretty f**king cheesy lol.
