MemberOvomorphSep-21-2012 5:38 PMEvil laughter in Prometheus soundtrack/movie
I read in an earlier blog that in RS commentary on Prometheus, he claims there are hints throughout the movie. When watching it, I hear this evil laughter in several scenes, one is right before the door opens where the engineer got his head cut off, another scene is right before Fifield and Millburn meet their fate.... or am I just hearing things?
I should reach the frontier in about 6 weeks. With a little luck, the network will pick me up. This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo....

MemberFacehuggerSep-21-2012 5:58 PMHm... I've listened to the soundtrack many times (though admittedly lots of times while driving), so I could be missing some subtler stuff. But I might have to wait for blu-ray quality before I start trying to hear stuff like that. Interesting, though..
It could just be the crazy voices in your head, though. Haha.. j/k :P

MemberOvomorphSep-23-2012 1:06 AMI've only heard the soundtrack as played on the movie. I didn't realise the first few times that, during the landscape flyover near the beginning, the Engineer's sigh (exhalation) is quite apparent in the ambient background.
The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent

Now that I think about it ....why do I remember evil laughter just as the sacrificial engineer is breaking up ?
Elders chiding him ?

MemberOvomorphSep-23-2012 10:35 AMperhaps I should have not said sound-track, but sound effects, like the scream of the Deacon right before the first hologram of the Engineers running. But that evil laughter is in several scenes. The one laughter right before the sealed door opens is very weird imo, it's like spooky almost, as if the entire crew were being watched from a different monitor within the pyramid. Not only that, but that evil laughter seems to be only in the pyramid. I think the crew was being watched, if not why then even have the evil laughter occur whenever something bad is about to happen?
I also think that the pyramid weapons facility, maybe in the sequel they will show that. It seems that the crew only explores the 1st level only, Fifield and Millburn walked in circles all the time, they surely did not cover the entire pyramid from top to bottom....
