Salutations, all. I just want to say that if I could ever get a woman to procreate with me, I would name my first child Prometheus.

what up. Big fan of the franchise and RS. Love that this movie is not just a sic-fi but hits homes to many ancient and modern day questions of man....can't wait for the film. My belief is not everything will be answered in this film and possibly we might be even more confused at the end

[i][i]Hey all you Alien fans out there! Let me properly introduce myself; My name is Jolie, female and a -huge- Alien fan! Let me see, I've been a 'Alien' fan since I was able to watch VHS tapes (since I was 13 years old). My dad was a big Science Fiction fan so ofcourse the Alien franchise could not be very far from it. I've always been into science fiction horror since I can remember. Movies like The Thing, Blade Runner, Terminator and Event Horizon were all one of my favorites! The possibility of being in a spaceship traveling trough the endless dark universe and searching for that other life-form has always fascinated me. My favorite one is Aliens 1986 by James Cameron! Dont get me wrong I liked the first one but the second one had more action, depth and horror in it. I'm also a huge fan of H.R. Giger art. I like everything that has the quality of the ultimate science-fiction-dark-horror-mystery-alien-life form-thing. The first day I heard there would be a "prequel" of the Alien I was -beyond- excited! I always hoped it would be a Ridley Scott or James Cameron film. Only they can 'recreate' the hypnotic Alien story and make it a succes! Thank God its one of them! So I'm counting the days until Prometheus so I can see and judge it for myself. (Ofcourse I have my own theories about "Prometheus" but I'm gonna talk about that in one of the forums otherwise this blog is going to be a bit TOO long :p Other things I like to do is drawing (mainly dark like science fiction things). I would like to meet other Alien fans so I think this is the perfect place to start! I'm new here so if anyone wants to chat about Alien/Prometheus/Ripley/Giger stuff, just let me know! Or follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/DarkPhoenix878 - Jolie[/i][/i]

Excellent site! I'm loving all the suspense and detective work surrounding the film. Prometheus really has kick started my love for the Alien films but I've got a feeling as questions are answered many, many more will be born!

Hi, been a fan of the original since my Dad sneaked me in to so the film at our local cinema the age of ten...they were called x rated films in those days and the staff couldn't care less. You could even smoke on the left hand side of the cinema, hard to believe now. As a ten year old I was in to everything...Star Wars of course, but Alien and especially Ripley as a ten year old boy had a particular bonus attraction for me, sure I loved the horror and the tension and the excitement. But I was ten then. This time round I'm hoping that Sir Ridley (God Bless Your Soul Sir) Scott has come up with something that makes a leap from his 1979 original. I don't want to see the xenomorphs at all, I really don't, I want to be that ten year old kid boggle eyed looking at things I couldn't possibly imagine, not knowing what the hell was going to happen next. That is all I want from this film. But having said that, I'm not a ten year old anymore and I'm wiser and more jaded. (Think Star Wars prequels.) so I am hoping agains hope that this film will be full on and uncensored by the bean counters in Hollywood.

Hi All to this amazing PROMETHUES website, I'm danial92 and I came from MALAYSIA. I've to be honest that I haven't watch the first ALIEN movie until I watch AVP in 2004, and that is the moment I start recognize the alien creature. As I also watched PROMETHEUS today in normal 3D, it gave a lot more sense that why I should watch ALIEN. I will try to buy the DVD version ALIEN, but I wanna ask fans here is there a remastered DVD version of ALIEN had produced? Furthermore, I feel like I wanna be an ALIEN fan as you guys are after watching PROMETHEUS, because there are so many questions that left to be answer in PROMETHEUS, and I do hope Sir Ridley Scott will do another sequel for it, and connect of what really happen in PROMETHEUS and the ending scene. Well, I will try to participate this forum more often and have a nice day guys and girls......^^

Hello Everyone I am so pleased that Ridley had the stones to revisit this universe and I really wish everyone would give him time to flush out his complete idea before they make any judgements. The movie was a good start and if they continue to improve with each new film it could take us to some very interesting places. He was smart enough to not try and explain everything in one movie.

I guess I been here a while and did not make a introduction. Also, I was banned since I expressed honesty on how we get DVDs here in Afghanistan and a mod was understanding to re-instate me. :) Anyway, I am American born in New York City serving my country for over two decades. I did a stint in the Marines and now in the Army hence my twist of colonial "soldier" versus Marine. Even though I am a former Marine and earned use of the title; many Marines are sensitive about being called soldier and since I am currently (and will remain until I retire) a soldier. So I saw all the Alien movies growing up and on the big screen and purchased their DVD box collections. I was "hyped" when Prometheus was going to get made and now am greatly saddened by the end product. Many people on this site love the movie and I respect their views but in my opinion it is B-movie trash that does not live up to epic or exist in what I think is the Alien universe. Why so critical? Well I was a film major in another life (actually 20 years ago when I was in Reserves not a full-time soldier now) and worked on some low budget features. My name even appears in the low budget NYC flick "Destination Unknown" so I think I have great taste when it comes to quality in a motion picture. During my times, I have loved movies people hated and hated movies people loved. But I think Prometheus stinks and it probably go down as another stinker that gets a good return at the box office and will earn the status "cult-classic". The last movie I got wrong was the sci-fi stinker HARDWARE where I told some good friends we had to see and was hugely disappointed at the end of the film. They all wanted me to give them the money they wasted on the film. Obviously, I like action and war movies. I know and met a few people who actually were there during Black Hawk Down and a Ridley Scott fan but like I wrote; I am not impressed with his last film. I love Blade Runner, Gladiator, American Gangster, GI Jane and Matchstick Men. Alien being my favorite of Ridley Scotts. I even enjoyed his first film The Duelists. I always like his visual filmaking style and enjoyed many films of his brother Tony Scott. I think his movie The Hunger is very underrated. Enjoy the boards.

Hello! My name is Russ and I have been a diehard Aliens fan since I was wee. I remember seeing Alien/Aliens when I was like 5 years old and I was hooked. I always loved scary movies/sci fi stuff from a young age even if it did scare me. Hugely influenced by Aliens/Terminator 2/The Thing, etc... I remember I recorded Aliens on an audio cassette when I was young because I spent a lot of time at my grandmothers house and she did not own a VCR (VCR, audio cassette, what are those?!) so instead of watching it I used to listen to it. I always thought of that as an audio book/movie. Strange, I know, I am... Anyways, loving the discussions here and can't wait for anything new along these lines! Remember, movies are for entertainment, so if all you do is hate on the movies or people who like them without an intellectual response or debate, what's the point?

Hello everyone my name is Claudia. Firstly, sorry for my English knowledge I think I'm very bad at it however I have a language exam :)) I'm 18 years old and I live in Hungary. Well, when I saw Prometheus 2 weeks ago I TOTALLY fell in love with this film. Actually I have never seen any sci-fi film beacuse I didn't care about it. My boyfriend wanted to see this movie and I just went with him. I thought it's a boring and ridiculous film but... Wow man, I was full in catharsis that night. After, I saw every Alien and Predator films, I've read everything about this films and I read this forum too :) I am obsessed haha. I like these discussions and it's a very good site ;)

HI, i helped with the screencap gallery. I like to grow organic vegetables in my greenhouse, and i'll beat you badly with Dudley on street fighter 4 anytime! I like to play jazz bass, and also jazz keyboards but usually end up in rock and country bands because of where i live! Someday i hope to use my degree in illustration to make an adventure story/ children's book. It's fun to make techno with logic and if you know anything about the electronic music creation please drop me a line! I have a secret jam room in an old fallout shelter, it was built in the 40's and is underground 2 minutes from my house. I'll post a picture of it here later. This site is a great place to look around, i never get bored here. Thanks for making it, Chris! ~Shawluv:D

hello, im pulserifle187....i first alien when i was 10yrs, it scared the crap out of me, been a huge fan since lol. I dont think there has been a movie that has as many innovations as alien. the movie is just riddled with amazing stuff....the space jockey, the facehugger , the chestbust scene , acid for blood, ash the android and the alien itself . i would go as far as to say there has been nothing innovative since....not even close.

Hello to Everyone! It seems I overlooked this section on my haste to add something to the discussions going on here, so it is time to amend this bad behavior of mine. Sorry for my lack of manners, so... I am Voidhawk. have been for years a huge science fiction fan, not only of Alien but of all good science fiction, be it books, series or movies. I a also a huge anime and manga fan, with a growing collection soon reaching 1000 titles, collecting also anime figures (models) and imaging, as well as over 40 gigs of japanese music (yeah, I am your average Otaku for sure) A tentative writer, I have 3 ongoing fanfics (one being a big crossover of sorts - anime series plus Stargate - but with a lot of alterations for a better crossover work) and an original project on the science fiction field. I am Brazilian, but do visit the US a lot given that I work for an U.S. airline company as Load Planner / Checking / Profiler, Atlanta being my usual destiny (which does tell which company I work for ^^ ) Married, with 2 children. What else? Avid reader, my most loved field is science fiction with stints on terror with H.P.Lovecraft work. Next comes mangas, from which I read many different genres - though no Yuri nor Yaioi (not for prejudice please, but it is not my thing...) Tentative drawing man, I already created some designs for characers and what not for my own story. What else? I like discussions which add ideas and new venues to known subjects. Well, that is it for now, and I hope to be able to contribute and learn around this plagues...

A late introduction, but here I go, hi all, I never saw the 1979 movie only several years later when it was made available in the 1980s, still a teenager, and still a teenager when I saw the so called 'sequel', but I'm more disenchanted now with the sequel as time went on and have NEVER liked the other attempts and spin offs that followed. Now, it is on Dan O'Bannon, Ronald Shusetts, Ridley Scott and H.G. Giger's 'alien' and Prometheus that I'm locked in on, and am waiting for the sequel to come through. In addition, I mostly am interested in sci-fi and horror, be it in book form, movies, comics, etc. I also am a fan of Japanese and European animation. I'm also a guitarist, I have a Fender Strat and an Epiphone bass, about to get a Gretsch guitar in a month or two. I have big love for the music of the early 1970s (sorry, I can listen but am really not a fan of heavy metal, glam rock or punk rock) then going to the 1960s and further back to early 20th century roots and still going further back. Rest in peace and God bless to: Ralph McQuarrie Dr. Osamu Tezuka Dan O' Bannon Moebius Vaughn Bode Gil Kane E.E. 'Doc' Smith ....

Greetings! After watching Prometheus the first time I was completely hooked. I think this movie is a revolution to film. With the internet "buzz", including all the viral videos, to all the discussions on here about what the movie is about, this movie will be talked about for years to come. My interest in movies like this stems from my own personal research into the UFO phenomenon. Unlike most mainstream UFOlogists, I do not believe the extraterrestrial hypothesis is the most valid one. Like the great Jacques Valle, I believe this phenomenon represents a nonhuman form of consciousness. This consciousness may be responsible for the creation and/or evolution of humans. Prometheus asks those tough questions, like where did we come from and is there a god? Is god a mere moral like us or something else? Who created the gods? Looking forward to the sequel. Trev

Hi everyone. I saw Alien at the theater when it first came out and I was working for the USDA as a chemist in training. I remember trying to convince some of the squares at the job when we were discussing this new movie that it was full of sexual symbolism and they seemed to lack the imagination or intellectual skills to wrap their heads around that even as I one by one spelled it out for them. Then I saw Blade runner a few years later and was learning about recombination DNA as well as repressor proteins and was amazed how closely the technical aspects paralleled what we were learning in Biochem. And now it is decades later and Ridley Scott, always my favorite Science Fiction film director has returned to where he clearly belongs and I love his movies and discussing all aspects of them as much as I did all those years ago. Great to hear many educational and stimulating takes on Prometheus that I would have never realized without them.

Sup, everyone. I didn't get a chance to see the movie back in 79: all of my aunts and uncles were not particularly interested in this genre. Anyhoy, I saw 'alien', I believe sometime around 1985 on vhs, I was still a teenager. Although, I did like, initially, James Cameron's well done 'aliens' and did see it at The Coronet Theater on Geary Blvd in 1986-what a long line that was-with my younger brother, over the years I have grown cool towards it to the point where I don't watch it as much. Very sadly, the Coronet Theater no longer exist, in it's place, is a newly built home for the aged, I believe. Very sad. With Prometheus, that expands beyond O' Bannon's premise, I now, only recognize Prometheus and 'alien' and nothing else. I am hoping for the sequel to be made. Enjoy your evening or day, all.

I've been writing here for a while and commenting on other's posts so I guess its about time I introduced myself. I have been interested in Sci Fi since I was a kid and grew up watching both horror and Sci Fi. A little over a year ago I graduated from UC Riverside where I studied O Chem and earned a PhD. This was followed by an additional year there as a post doc. I mention this because I believe grad school and a hard science major provided me with enhanced critical thinking skills as well as analytic capabilities, which I apply to even Ridley Scott movies like Prometheus. Being trained as a scientist gave me a unique perspective on the behaviors of all of the scientists in the story. Virtually all of them made critical scientific errors that resulted in a great storyline but were frustrating to watch as no real scientist would act as they did. But real scientists would be far too careful to jump in feet first or let a wildcard like David run around without a leash on him! I have enjoyed this site and I want to congratulate the web team on a stimulating site that has provided me with hours of entertainment and new insights not to mention additonal links/ information that have added to my overall education on this incredible movie. Long live Ridley Scott. Long live sequels to Prometheus and long live this great site where we can share our insights and up to date info as new material is released!

Hello. I was freaked out by Alien (at age 12) just from the newspaper reviews and reports of it in the Daily Express! Watched Liens seven times at the cinema, ALien 3 once, Alien four I missed. Saw Prometheus four times at the Cinema. I was born in North Yorkshire about 30 odd miles away from where RS was born, I graduated from Sunderland Universtiy, the same college as RS's brother TS (RIP), a long time after. I'm a big fan of RS and his beuatiful pictures. I think he makes the most visually stunning movies.

Today I have been dedicated to post on as many topics as possible until I pass out from drinking too many beers.

Greetings from this side of clear space. I am Mel from the NW region of Washington state. I have been a Trekker since the days when Trek came on air in the 60ies and been a fan of Sci-Fi most of my life. Star Trek first love then came Alien(s). I was so in awe with Promethius. Food for thought. So many similarities with it and in Alien too. So looking forward in watching Paradise. When Alien first came out back in the way time machine of the later part of the 70ies I was so freaked out and hooked. I could not for the life of me put my feet down on the floorboards of the car. Creepy spooky good! Bio-weapons of the third kind I do say! Along with Sci Fi am a complete weather nut . I am also a lover of nature and animals. Will add more as time in here grows. Clear space and Good landings!
