In space, you can’t hear people mock your scarf and flip-flops outfit.

I agree that in the history of cinema that that there has been no better candidate for the immediate use of a flamethrower on than Dr. Charlie Holloway. This view still stands when noting Zombie movies. Yes, fry the zombies but only after Charlie.

I have read criticisms of Logan Marshall-Green’s acting but I really do think he nailed it.

I apologize for the disgusting nature of the above photograph. 

Dr. Holloway is shown spoiled, drunk, and pouting after the arrival on LV-223 did not include an Engineer parade (inconsiderate dead Engineer photo below) and someone handing him a pamphlet showing how he was created (and he only has time for pagan explanations). How familiar this image above has been as a reflection in my mirror…scary.

Can we admit that Dr. Holloway performed the biggest fumble in humanity’s history?

Dr. Holloway’s “anything and everything” definition of boundaries removed all restraint from David.

If I was asked by David 8 at the pool table why we (his creator) chose to create him I would tell him he was made in an attempt to reach our dreams in a way that we could not without him with tears in my eyes. 

Then I would say I needed to puke (he would want to wait to put black goo in my drink hopefully) and run strait to Captain Janek. I would ask Captain Janek if there was a performance bonus for letting David experiment on members of the crew we didn’t like. If no bonus, then we would have to dust off the “Let’s waste the robot” plans.

These grotesque displays of spoiled pouting, I believe, brought the viewer into the place where the flamethrower was the best idea ever. I strongly believe Logan Marshall-Green should have won an award (or all of them) for this display. When I saw this display it was as if we were intra-century twins.

Any criticism of the above content is your welcome opinion. Please do not be vulgar.

And his lips, you added awesome images showing his lips. Is there anybody on Earth who does not envy those lips?

Starlogger, no problem. :)

Flip-flop David and flip-flop Charlie are the two most (sexually) attractive units of the flip-flop android series.

Here's what we do know... there is no defense for his awful acting throughout the film.

That facial expression on the picture is the very personification of the phrase  "unlikeable douch who may be slightly horny for no apparent reason"

Well, JazzHands, he does have a pretty mouth from the feedback I've heard.

But we should admit he is not the only one.

I gotta say I liked him. I liked the blinded excitement he had as the egotistical "best of the best" scientist that found the most significant discovery- why not be cocky and see where it got him--> relief from a flame thrower.  And he has a new role as a completely different character in a show named Quarry and (I might be alone but) he's amazing in it

Here's a showcase of his incredible range of dramatic diversity used repeatedly.

 

Eyebrows raised, mouth neutral:

 

Neutral eyebrow position, mouth open (!)

 

His left eyebrow is slightly more raised than his right one. Mouth neutral.

 

"Concerned" look. Mouth neutral.

Ok, fine Ati. He does have a pretty mouth and he is not the only one. And I do wish they found the story capital to put this mouth on Dr. Holloway.

I believe the best mouth model used in Prometheus was this actor:

I liked him very much in Devil (2010), and the movie is very good as well in my op.

Quarry:

He's looking for an android, no doubt.

And please let's not forget about the cosmetics department taking into consideration the fact that his skin is immaculate and beautiful - everywhere...

To his credit, he died pretty honorably.

bit of a different look there- a talented actor sometimes does get bad writing

"His scientific belief didn't bother me...it was how he acted, non humble condescending toward others with his self righteous egotistical attitude"

In Life we get people like this... i have met a fair number of people who would make Holloway seem more nicer than even Walter... some who would make Holloway as nice as ET.

At least Holloway is not in any great governing power... the world is full of A-Holes like this, well i would say 1 in 10 for sure.

As far as his Character goes, he had worked his whole life and based all his findings on their being a actual Ancient Aliens as his studies and theories was... so when he found out that he had arrived 2000 years to late to the Party.

He was bound to be disappointed and wanted to have a drink..

We can only assume if David had not spiked his drink, he would have been back down the next day to recover and uncover as much information  as he could for what now is just ANOTHER Archeological Dig.

This is for Ati. It's all mouth and scarf.

I thought he was great in Devil.
