Mike - am I missing something or have you flipped sides from "this will be really smart" to " this will be really dumb" !?!?!?

Uh, no? I said the viral stuff looks like it might be a smart movie, but I don't want to get my hopes up too much. And what you said kinda made me reevaluate my impression of the Fassbender clip, and now we're just getting wrapped up in a discussion about robots in sci-fi and whether or not it's still something that's worth exploring.

I'm also writing a paper about this exact topic atm, so obviously I'm getting all hung up on it.

It's been awhile but I don't remember Alien being particularly intellectual and was more of a well crafted thrill ride. I have no problem with this being in the same vein.

Will the inside of the Prometheus have super high ceilings and glorious arched doorways and be completely unrealistic?

apparently the entire internet is losing collective shit over the PG13 rating... I don't give a fuck anymore and will be fine with a bit less gore since hopefully this movie is primarily about a story we've been wanting to see

home-release R or something

The film is gonna suck. Ridley Scott directs three crappy films for each good film, and the PG-13 rating means the characters are all gonna use unrealistic expletives whenever some alien baby bursts (off screen or toned down) through someone's stomach, no titties and moderate gore. If the studio can push for a PG-13 rating they most certainly won't allow some next level, mindblowing intellectual shit even if their viral marketing references TED talks and shit. Have fun with your gay slasher in space, assholes.

It's realistic. The whole franchise, if you include the Predator-movies as part of the same anthology, has produced two good movies (Alien, Predator) and one decent movie (Aliens) and then everything has just become increasingly shitty over the last 25 years.

Holy shit, you're right... I mean I've always known that alien 3-infinity and everything besides predator 1 sucked balls but holy jesus that's like what, 3 our of 8? When was Predator released, like 1987?

So what, 3 good movies out of 8, and 8 good years out of... 32 or so? This is mindblowing

Oh man, the alien CGI in Alien3 was so fucking bad, last time I saw it I was uncertain whether or not I was watching an alien-movie or a gif from a 1998 geocities page. But I'll admit it's the least shittiest of the shitty ones.

The viral stuff was most certainly the best part of Lost, so it is not surprising that Prometheus has some well made viral marketing.

I liked Alien 3, but I kinda don't want to defend it right now because I think I've only seen it once and that was a long-ass time ago, so who knows what I'd think today.

I do think the whole plot thread with Ripley having an Xenomorph growing inside her and finally throwing herself into the fire is a good way to end-cap the trilogy on several levels, though, and I'll stand by that. It's nice that that happened. Resurrection was a pile of shit, though, Predator 2 was dumb and I've never even bothered watching the AvP movies, so other'n that, HAMG is spot-on, of course.

One has to see the assembly cut of Alien 3, which Fox rejected and then drastically shredded to pieces for the theatrical version before any judgment be made about the film I think. Though not perfect the assembly version is at a least a bit closer to David Fincher's thematic vision. It would be cool if Fincher attempted to present a director's cut of Alien 3 but the guy still seems to be absolutely bitter about the whole experience. Which is kinda lame at this point because whatever the conflict and disappointment he had with Fox during the making and release of Alien 3 it still allowed a starting point for the career he now enjoys . The same can't be said about Vincent Ward who was initially brought on to do Alien 3 but had to resign since his ideas (wooden monastery floating in space) were considered too weird for Fox.
