    my new co-worker wants to be best friends and make skrillex tracks with me so we can make loads of cash. He's a sweet kid, but jesus fuck he never shuts up. I can hardly get any work done without him getting into some near sperging talk about training, diets, cars, girls. oh man.

    I just realized I stopped making music around the same time I stopped using a trackball. I must buy a new one.

    I think Silent hill and Resident evil could work as films, maybe even max payne. No. Wait.

    i don't want answers neatly wrapped in a box. i just want supposedly human characters to act like real humans would in a similar situation. but wait! maybe that's actually a CLUE to the real meaning of the film! maybe the "humans" are all androids and that's why they're gloriously retarded. maybe the entire setting of the movie is a lie crafted by david. maybe everything in the film takes place in a computer projection run by david as they're traveling to the planet, but he didn't have enough processing power to make AI that could pass for human (it was a trade-off for the pretty graphics), so all the "characters" are one-dimensional twats. david is the hero of the story (naturally). even dream-weyland says david is like a son to him. maybe it's an allegory for pinocchio. or maybe the movie was a combined failure of writers, directors and actors. idk, i think the computer simulation theory is the most plausible imo. In regards to the humans not acting like humans and auxien point about the Alien crew being more relatable or good... I don't think the crew for Prometheus and Alien are comparable. Alien deals with a crew that could be considered lower class, blue collar... while Prometheus is hired by a trillion dollar CEO, who wants to put on a show for Shaw so that she can have her rightful attempt at meeting the Engineers. So I understand the impression that many on the crew were a bit soulless, I'm not sure thats a writing flaw. We are supposed to feel empathy towards the Alien crew because its meant to be scary and what happens to them is forced onto them. The Prometheus crew goes on the mission because they want $$$ aside from Shaw and David. Everyone else is in it for fame and money. This continues to tie well into the motif of our culture currently and how wealth doesn't give you any kind of profound end. They wanted fame? How did you come to this conclusion? They didn't even know what the mission was. The impression I got from the film was that Weyland hired the very best crew money could buy, and then they go around acting like idiots who don't know what the fuck they're supposed to do. That's what annoyed me about them, that and their complete lack of personality.

    I don't think this film should be pg 13 even with the abortion removed. good call MPA.

    It's the setup for a fucking sequel. Are you trolling?

    wtf

    that's a respectable effort, their burgers aren't even particulary good. I've never tried that one though.

    K. Here's my theory on Promotheus 2. The Space jockey is GOD, the creator. The engineers are his workers. EPIC ENDING when Naomi Rapace faces the ultimate dillemma and kills god to prevent the extinction of humanity. Probably with the help of an alien / fachugger. BEST FILM EVER.

    This is what I want.
  23. Silent Member
    Hah! this is basically everything that was going through my head as I was watching the film.
  24. Silent Member
    Perhaps it's the fact that I'm a hardened atheist and start frothing at the mouth from anything with the slightest hint of new age or spirituality attached to it, that ruins the film for me... yes. that's probably it.
  25. Silent Member
    Yes, but I'm not sure it was intentional.
