Hi peeps it is Feebs here today :) I would like to discuss about news I stumbled upon during my search of new Prometheus stuff and I found [url=http://www.iltasanomat.fi/elokuvat/art-1288476124406.html]here[/url]. Peeps I know it is alien language to you so I translate it to you in english: [quote][size=200][b]Horrible scenery in Prometheus was too much - the boy was rushed to hospital[/b][/size] [b]Australian boy had sudden illness while watching new movie Prometheus.[/b] A disgusting scenery in sci-fi movie [i]Prometheus[/i] was too much for australian teenage boy, who was rushed straight to hospital from the movie theater. 15-year-old is thankfully on the mend, says Australia's news.com.au, a News. Boy had this seizure, when one of the actress' [i](Noomi Rapace) [/i] had to make an emergency caesarean section. In Australia younger viewers can watch this movie without adult supervision. First the film was banned from solo-looking children under age 15, but the age limit was calculated down to the production company Fox's request. Site interviewed film professional, Joseph Sims who remembers Pulp Fiction caused similar scenes in 1994. - Although the film had a hard age limit, people fainted scene when John Travolta, gives adrenaline shot to Uma Thurman right into her heart, he says. James Franco's 127 Hours in turn caused a few years ago, in movie theaters, fainting, when Franco cut off his hand during a fierce scene. At least one of the movie the viewer is known to vomit in Franco's amputation. [/quote] There you go whole thing translated to you and now to the questions: 1.What do you think of this? 2.Was it even worth to publish? 3.Anything else? What I thought is that this is unnecessary scaring. You know this is Ridley Scott, you know it is Alien. And like the man said 127 hours had much more worse gore than Prometheus entirely itself. When I watched 127 hours I almost fainted too :/. Give me your thoughts peeps and be nice ;) Sorry about the grammar, wrote fast.

Just imagine how many peeps lost their sleep or went into a coma at the release of the Exorcist.

@Claudia I am glad to help. In here Finland age limit 15. Fox might have lowered it in some countries 'cause it is not that "scary" -_- @Punx The kid is ok, got treated well :). I kinda agree with you when it comes to these situation. If I understood well the kid was with some one besides that he was 15 yrs. old = he could be alone. It is not the films fault. @David 1 Have we already seen the huge gap between The Exorcist and Prometheus? HUGE DIFFERENCE !!

I hope the child is ok... I even threw up a little in my mouth... seriously some folks do have real issues with certain situations, and it is very hard to predict just who might be effected.

I was 7 when I seen Alien...I only got to the chestburster scene. It scared the shit out of me so bad I couldn't go to the bathroom for a couple of days. Eventually with my over active imagination and stomach pain I had to go to the hospital and they removed the alien with an enema. LOVED THE MOVIE EVER SINCE!

Some people have what used to be called a "weak constitution" in English. It simply means that they are easily susceptible to "fits" or "fainting", etc. Many people faint at the sight of blood. Flashing lights can trigger epileptic seizures easily. They can also trigger migraine headaches. I know this personally. That's why I won't look directly at Spartacus’ Donnie Darko Bunny avatar even here. I'm sorry to hear the child had a scare, but anyone who's trying to blame the film is an attention-seeker (likely for all the wrong reasons).

When I first went to see Prometheus I was expecting the caesarian section scene to be much more intense, and I think it would have if Cuddles would have resisted the extraction clamps before he was out. It was a little disgusting when that sac popped and all that fluid fell on her abdomen. Chestburster scene in ALIEN was much worse, especially with John Hurt's face, which gives the impression that he's chestbursting constantly... LOL

It was not that bad. I guess that guy never saw animal planet or similar other nature channels.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

@Patch the kid is Ok now. The boy should have known is he sensitive to this stuff and if you don't know it's understandable. If the scene is going he should have looked away :/ @Ruhaniya I had same imagination problem too and even now days when I scare myself i.e. slender man *shivers* @Sukkal one person commented into this and said that if it is real it is more horrible, like in movie it shouldn't "bother" so much. It is stupid to blame the movie. Just ruins the mood -__-* @Molecular yes they filmed Shaws expression more but for me the 'omg' was when she ripped the umbilical cord --> ouch! @Sky true, true *nod*

I think kids need to toughen up and grow a pair these days. I took my 14 year-old cousin to go see Prometheus and he LOVED it. The kid had the time of his life. He loved everything about it (although he was completely oblivious to some of the piss-poor dialogue and the horrible attempt at acting by Logan Marshall Green). Honestly, the caesarean scene was DEFINITELY NOT that bad at all.

That is sad news to hear. I myself am a epeleptic. So I have to be very carefull on what I see or hear. All of these modern video games are a no no for me. Also night clubs because of the strobe lights are a huge problem. Also certain situations that I may view first hand can trigger a a seizure. I wish the kid the best.

@Rubirosa The kid is fine now and nice to know that you know your limits (not offensive). Were you able to watch Prometheus?(silly question). To all people this happened in July and we're heading August so he'd a lot of time for recovery :)

Rubirosa: Cheers mate, and I can relate to that. Used to be epileptic as well. But the bright lights and strobs still afflict me.
