I think this guy has a pretty good take on the film and I enjoyed listening to these guys pick it apart in an intelligent manner. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koHjZg8W0Sw#t=16m59s]CLICKHERE

@Inquisitor Tremayne no most will not like it, but one cannot escape the truth... LOL Personally, I am very glad it was made... even if the second screenwriter is an arse...

Huh. Couldn't understand what they were saying for all the nasal smugness. I did hear one thing: " I liked John Carter of Mars ". Well there you go.

4:30 mark and still blah blah blah-ing about the least man-cave-like man-cave I've ever imagined, much less seen. If he's in SF he needs to get some gay guys over to musk that place up a bit... (Seriously, there is a female assistant in the background arranging stuff on glass shelves... (BILLY bookcases from IKEA nonetheless..??) OK. Back to blah blah blah-ing... Get on with the BASHING already... Sheesh... I've never live-blogged a YouTube video before... 5:00... Yes the Sundance Kabuki is nice and convenient. That's where I saw [i]Prometheus[/i] for the first time too... And so....?? 6:30... He LOVES Damon and Ridley... BUT... 6:45... [i]das Hammer[/i]... "It's EWOK bad." 7:00... "It's not worth worrying about ruining." 7:35... "No one can say no to Ridley Scott — Including FOX!" 7:45... [Bam bam bam on bookshelves] 9:00... [i]JAWS[/i] is a silk purse out of a sow's ear... 11:05... "No! You have to fight over every idea to make sure it's a good idea." ———— I think he's invoking the Jar Jar Binks Syndrome on that one... 11:45... 13-y-o son agrees that [i]Wrath of the Titans[/i] was [u]terrible[/u]. 12:10... John Carter of Mars is a 'fine' movie that was marketed badly. ———— I can't disagree with that, but, It did cost about $100 ———— million too much to produce. Oops! 12:45... Hollywood *punished* it because nobody controlled Stanton. [Bam bam bam.]... "You sunk my [i]Battleship[/i]!" Ha ha ha LOLing ———— Isn't this supposed to be about [i]Prometheus[/i]? 13:30... Let's go back to [i]Prometheus[/i]... ———— Wow! Do I have a 6th sense about timing or what? 13:35... "It's BI.YUU.TI.FUL! I bought the art book because I want to make my one space helmet." 14:30... "The ship was gorgeous. It felt like a sister to Nostromo." 15:00... "It's the rich person’s, the 1% version of the Nostromo." 15:57... "The Engineer’s makeup from the beginning was PHE.NOM.I.NAL." 17:30... [Shaw:] "Clearly these are the people who Engineered the human race"... and I go WHAT!? 17:40... "There is just this whole God thing that does not make any sense at all." 18:00... "[re:] the scientists: 'It gets better.'"... "They go onto the Alien ship, which they find by looking left." ... "He (Charlie) finds a 2000-year-old alien and he's dead so he's disappointed!!... So he goes back to the ship and gets drunk..." ... "These aren't things that scientists do." 19:00... "But he got drunk because they needed to infect him." 19:45... "Wikipedia said it was originally supposed to be two movies." ———— This is my favorite line so far... [awaits more with (a)bated ———— breath...] 20:15... "[all of that big picture Engineer stuff] is GREAT for big, meaty science fiction. ... "I felt like half of Prometheus was [like the conceit for how to get people smoking in space from] [i]Thank You for Smoking[/i]." 21:15... [Check iPhone while other dude who just saw movie 2 hours ago is explaining how "it's *almost* not fair to compare a movie ([i]Alien[/i]) from that time period (1979) to one ([i]Prometheus[/i]) from now."] 22:20... (Nube dude): "Honestly, If I hadn't known that I was coming here to do this I probably would have walked out [when the] gratuitous porn shot of the [SpaceJockey seat emerged.] ———— I call BS to the Nth degree. This guy just feels that he's ———— he's building some kind of cred by being a more bashy ———— basher. Losermatic. OK? And... 22:50... Losermatic guy, aka Nube dude): "Even at the end of Alien 3 there are unanswered questions left [that are worthy/interesting] and there is NONE OF THAT IN THIS MOVIE. ———— EXCUSE ME!? Which movie called [i]"Prometheus"[/i] did you see, Sir? 24:00... (Other dude who has actually done some homework (who is often cut off by Adam and Losermatic guy): "Ridley Scott is undone by [i]Prometheus[/i]. LOLing... (Adam): I LOVE Ridley Scott. If I ever met him and he were mad about this [podcast review that we're doing right her now in my currently-being-remodeled-"man cave"] I would feel TERRIBLE. ———— Ummm. Guess what. If you ever WERE going to meet him. ———— You might want to rethink that now, ’cause you've just ———— blamed all that is wrong with the world of [i]Prometheus[/i] ———— on HIM and you haven't even finished shaking the urine ———— off of your you-know-what... 26:00ish... devolving into a supposedly-clever-but-not Kickstarter idea about crowd-sourcing film scripts. 27:45ish... They have issues with Janek "boning" (‹‹‹ direct quote) Vickers. Apparently it seemed like a "game of chess"...?? 29:25... "There's a KD Perry movie, [Prometheus] could be worse." ~~~~~~~~~ OK. Ummm... That's a lot of minutes to not actually talk about the movie. But, I agree with you that none of the scientists behaved like scientists behave and that a lot of the characters do stooopid things. At the end, they essentially say that the film should be remade. I will have to settle for The Restoration and [i]Paradise[/i]. My takeaway on this is that getting on YouTube to bash things is fun. I'm happy for them that they seemed proud of themselves and they feel that they entertained. Did they support "It's EWOK bad" or "It's not worth worrying about ruining"? No. Not for me. BUT, I'm thrilled to have a counterexample for how to design a man cave. THR.ILLED! :D Thx for that!

Not too many things so undignified as middle aged hipsters having a wank for the camera.
