Yeah pity she ended up being a mental case. I really liked her in those glasses. And the outfits she'd wear with the glasses................
What's wrong with Wynona? I know she's mental (what woman isn't though?) but she's still pretty........ I think anyways. But then, people think I'm strange because I like redheads with green eyes and freckles.......................
Reply1234sfPrometheus ForumWhat will happen?Apr 4, 2012
This just happened to me today! I was watching the hunger games when someones phone went off in one of the quietest, most intense parts of the movie! It then went off a second time latter in the film. It happened to be Paradise_Island from the android (look up the song and you will see how annoying it is.). The first time it just kept going on and on and on! For a good 2 minuets. But it was a funny story to share after the film.
ReplyKronnang DunnAlien Movies Forumwhat next ?Apr 4, 2012
I am eagerly waiting to see the best SW film ever, The Empire Strikes Back, again in the movie theater in 3D... The last time I saw that film in the cinema was in 1980 and I was like 5 years old. The next time will be until 2016... in 4 years!!! I will be like 41 years old by then...

Ridley Scott sums up Prometheus plot in his own charming way"Basically, don't f--- around with gods."

@Cinefan: Dude... if your ringtone is the high pitched SJ sound from the original ALIEN trailer I think I can understand your wife LOL. Is an awesome and super cool sound but it is also kinda irritating if you listen to it for too long LOL. Have she seen the original ALIEN?

ReplyreffugeePrometheus ForumBreathing AirApr 4, 2012
Spoiler Alert- if you haven't read Empire article:
It reads"The helmets have headsets so the actors can hear each other, and are sleeker and more streamlined that the Alien vintage, but clearly modelled on the same principle by costume designer Janty Yates, And they play a crucial role in what unfolds, As the group spread out around a dark hole that leads God knows wher to who knows what. Holloway without warning, reaches up and takes his helmet off, despite Shaw's anguish pleas not to. "outside the structure, the air is lethal" explains Marshall-Green," but our suits tell us that inside the structure is reasonably similar to our atmosphere on earth. So i Leap before i look and taste the air." "
This is on the same page as the Millburn photo.
If it was me I wouldn't even take my helmet off on my own spaceship.

ReplycraigamorePrometheus ForumThe reason for SJs hating humans?Apr 4, 2012
What I was trying to get at is that no matter how much we rationalize the why...there is no answer to be had.....Human beings have this need to know...we want to understand things, the why of everything, but there is no understanding to be had with that to which we cannot relate....oil and water will never mix.....trying to fathom the nature of what would be truly alien to human conception is like asking an ant to try understanding the flippance with which we regard them.....we step on them as easily as we breathe with no regard for the breadth of the ant's experience, its life and the horror of its death..Why? It's no skin off our backs....WE DON'T CARE.....Why would anyone expect the SpaceJockies to? ..because we're human? ..because we think? I think therefore I am......the real question is...
If and when they did come to wipe us out..would the why really matter? Wouldn't survival be ALL that matters? Ants don't argue with people......they run..
And regarding those Jockies, they are us and we, the ants...go ahead, try and reason with the shoe about to step on you....

@Freeze,
I edited my post earlier. The two technologies are being tested right now with Cameron's Titanic 3D conversion. One is using the more ubiquitous RealD technology, and the other is the Panavision 3D process, which is supposed to be much brighter.

Cinefan, I completely got a headache tonight as well. Maybe if my eyes were more used to watching 3d all the time they could adjust? Anyways, I don't think we should turn this thread into a total 3d discussion, it'd would never end!!!!! Keep to the glasses! I want a helmet with a huge 3d glass plate on it! Bah! lol

ReplycraigamorePrometheus ForumAm I addicted?Apr 4, 2012
It is possible we all are lost to our Promethean addiction.....and, in all likelihood, probable....so, that said, I passed the metaphorical pipe to my friend this evening as I screened 'A L I E N' for him to explain my life consuming obsession with 'Prometheus'.......HE'S NEVER SEEN 'A L I E N' BEFORE.......and he liked it....... I don't think he'll be drinkin' the kool-aid with the rest of us anytime soon, but he'll see 'Prometheus' I think.....my job is done..
ReplyHastaLaVistaPrometheus ForumThe reason for SJs hating humans?Apr 4, 2012
@ allinamberclad
If you accept the premise that the Engineers are the creators, then everything in my theory falls into place. The Engineers created the Space Jockeys, the humans, and a few other species that they invited to come to this planet. Not all species will evolve to a point where they will come and meet these Engineers.
The Space Jockeys did. They probably arrived first. The Engineers shared some of their technology with the Space Jockeys but not all. One thing that the Engineers did not share with the Space Jockeys is the location of the homeworlds of the other invitees. Why? Because, once one species knows where the other speces and homeworlds are located, that race is vulnerable for colonization and elimination.
I think the Engineers are a dying race, few in number. The Space Jockeys kill the Engineers and steal their technology. They know that all they have to do is wait for the other species to arrive to be able to do the same to them.
How do the Space Jockeys find the location of the other species Homeworld? I think that the starmaps displayed prominently in the trailers are generated only when a representative of that race is physically standing on that platform. When one of the Prometheus crew stands on that platform, a blue star map is created that appears to show all the planets of the earths solar system. I noticed that when one of the blue space jockeys is standing on the platform, a small minature green star map is produced. I believe that green starmap is of the space jockey's solar system. The minature star maps can be plugged into the derelict ship's navigation sytem to navigate to that solar system.
Of course this is just a theory. This theory came to me after eating a "bad" burrito and a glass of warm beer.

The other issue with 3-D is it can give me headaches sometimes and others also. I think it has more of a chance of taking off if they can do away with the glasses. I'm more impressed with the IMAX format. I think if more films were filmed in the IMAX format they would be more popular than 3-D.

i dont like it cus im legally blind without my glasses so the 3d glasses are an issue. its a pain to try and fit them over my glasses. im not sure how well i will see the graphics because i am near and far sighted and thigns are fuzzy even with the glasses on :/ damn astigmatism-sesses!
ReplycraigamorePrometheus Forum3d glasses suck, but the visuals are amazing!Apr 3, 2012
I totally agree about hating 3D......I can't stand it...it's a gimmick and it drives me up the wall will the watering eyes and the rubbing...
That said....I do want to see 'Prometheus' in 3D once after I see it in 3D, just to compare the experiences as I've always been a proponent of experiencing filmas it was intended, on the big screen, in widescreen format, etc..and because it was filmed in 3D, I want to give just this film that one chance.....it's 'Prometheus'....

ReplyFREEZE!Prometheus Forum3d glasses suck, but the visuals are amazing!Apr 3, 2012
Nicely said Cypher. I agree with everyone here, 2d is my favorite. Like tonight for example, I went to see Wrath of the Titans in 3d, and my eyes had to adjust for awhile after the movie. From time to time just watching Wrath, I had to take the glasses off to rub my eyes.
All in all, 3d is a fad to where if it doesn't improve soon, it will die off again like the red/blue lens glasses. I would like to make a strong comment again about how pretty the 3d trailer was for Prometheus, but how often will I have to give my eyes a "break?"
Exactly why I plan on seeing it in 2d for the most part.
Jim, if you find that source for new 3d tech, please post it here! Thanks!
