Rutger Hauer portrayal as the replicant in Ridleys Scott 'blade runner' would be up there too

The thing is today's movie goers esp those kids don't know quality.

Francis ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, wont find a movie to direct as many will be saying the cant understand nor stand the pacing of their movies.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey will bomb in today environment, much less only less then 1/2 who watch then understood that movie even then

There is no better sci fi (thriller) story teller then Ridley Scott.

I don't foresee ridley scott's prometheus surpassing even lame "hunger games". This plot might confuse movie goers who are used to watching "tv tube reality shows" . Go figure.

moviegoers challenged, yes; but the vast majority of "masses" that ensures some movies surpassing 'blockbuster' records, even holding titles aren't in ridleys scope of "not expecting some sort of spoon feeding moviegoers".



i think its best to forget about previous 'alien' or the other dreadful 'alien vs crap', think nothing of the continuity...

if there is any remedy to piece some jigsaw of 'Prometheus", just preview ridley's 'alien'. Don't think you need even cameron's "Aliens" nor finchers "Alien 3". (they are good on their own but it's more of ripleys survival)


edit
just watched the 'Prometheus' interview from the link, ridley mentioned it.

Naw, no reboot, reimaging (alien) necessary. They are able to stand on their own.

Many of us are looking fwd to Prometheus, don't want to generate wrong hype where some kiddo fans might ask "why so weird", "can it transformed into some mechanical...." "Why no young people?"

Yup, the new trailer is pretty much will outline the whole Prometheus movie, might be a spoiler trailer-show-too-much for some.

still...

I'm still wanna catch this more then any movie this year. I doubt this movie will hog this years fanboys blockbusters, dark knight rise, hunger games, avengers, battleship...

If I tell more, you might regret

So I'll give you the simpler version,




Heheh

I digress,

Watched the mr Scott's interview that day, on how he wonder why no one talked about the space jockey post ridley's alien and how it became the angle for him to approach it with 'Prometheus' the movie, Ridley also gave hint (interview) if he was to approach another 'blade runner' movie, he might have the angle for one, on why man made 'replicants', a big "IF" he was interested to do it.

All this pre takes, theories are awesome. Can't wait to be free to catch this. Like blade runner, its didnt serve A1 in terms of story but sci fi maniacs love it.


even if it leaves more questions then answers, the curiosity will drive critics to debate for years to come. Something Ridley Scott has a habit in doing.

Awesome read




In that, I must have the DvD when it comes out. Ridley Scott is such an ass..

I suppose we are in the groupings that ridlet regard as mere mortals. After all many dished his 'blade runner' when it came out, shun his movie then, only to realize we might have got it all wrong or too small to understand the concept /his concept films



This post has been edited by koolspyda: Jun 10 2012, 03:19 PM

Ridley feels the (better) audience needs the challenges; the question, debate about the movie; not to be spoon fed while watching a movie. Little wonder why there are those who need everything to in B&W for them

Awesome, awesome, awesome

Prometheus is funking awesome. watched it just now.

damn you ridley!












To those incapable to comprehend the movie, or felt the movie leaves too many ambiguous holes for you, or like a chap who walked past me during end credits said "what the funk did i just watch" to his friends...

Don't be too hard to oneself, perhaps this movie is not meant for some. i suggest then indulge oneself to talking animals (madagascar 3), or even await for the highness nolan's DKR.





i will pay to watch, again (ice queen) Meredith Vickers doing push ups. also what a pick up line by janek

of course, ridley did mentioned on one of the interviews, but he is the type to leave it open for interpretation



perhaps to those who didnt catch all the viral video (of young guy pearce), here is the transcripts of that video

Peter Weyland
T.E. Lawrence, eponymously of Arabia but very much an Englishman, favoured pinching a burning match between his fingers to put it out. When asked by his colleague William Potter to reveal his trick, how is it he effectively extinguished the flame without hurting himself whatsoever, Lawrence just smiled and said, "The trick, Potter, is not minding it hurts." The fire that danced at the end of that match was a gift from the Titan Prometheus, a gift that he stole from the gods. And Prometheus was caught, and brought to justice for his theft. The gods, well, you might say they overreacted a little. The poor man was tied to a rock, as an eagle ripped through his belly and ate his liver over and over, day after day, ad infinitum. All because he gave us fire. Our first true gift of technology, fire...


Peter Weyland 100,000 BC: stone tools. 4,000 BC: the wheel. 900 AD: gunpowder - bit of a game changer, that one. 19th century: eureka, the lightbulb! 20th century: the automobile, television, nuclear weapons, spacecrafts, Internet. 21st century: biotech, nanotech, fusion and fission and M theory - and THAT, was just the first decade! We are now three months into the year of our Lord, 2023. At this moment of our civilization, we can create cybernetic individuals, who in just a few short years will be completely indistinguishable from us. Which leads to an obvious conclusion: WE are the gods now.


Peter Weyland: To those of you who know me: you will be aware by now that my ambition is unlimited. You know that I will settle for nothing short of greatness, or I will die trying. To those of you who do not yet know me: allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peter Weyland, and if you'll indulge me, I'd like to change the world.




you can deduce that mr weyland is a driven man. a rich, a beyond imagination of wealth ambitious man, fuelled with desire to "go to extremes, to boldly go where no one has gone before"





was catching up on one of the prometheus forums (discussions in 2011), apparently there were comics of the "alien" series. it touches also on the space jockey. picked a quote out.





i not saying one must read beforehand or to have a better understanding. i think it's not A must to read before one watch, but it only goes to show it's consistent to what was already OUT there, this ridley's prometheus movie.


*I don't advocate one to MUST read books or comics to appreciate the movie. the movie can standalone. it's a choice of appreciation.

Which is why many regard as one of the very top movies ever made. There are lots of classics but today's movie goers probably will ignore classic legends as ancient for today's 'legend' Cameron's and Nolan's

ok, it's (just) a story.

i dont think ridley sets out for us on a bona-fide science education trip on evolution of human race (though a lot of the other aspects such as landscapes in the movie were consulted with NASA's images, the engineering on the prometheus ship, although concepts, the medical, ship etc were proper consultation/development from 3D drawings).

however, i don't think we want to there on, Why this, Why that, IS this Even possible, I think the makers well, ridleys want the fans to make their own assumption on "Who are we", Here's his story, and btw (ridley says) it can be scary .

As in how elizabeth, a scientist believes in religion because she choose to "believe".




there were comments/questions on other Prometheus forums that..
among it...


there are times i wish i can bat their heads


relax la bros

apparently david has a neck for quoting from the movie "Lawrence of the Arabia", not just the one line "The trick William Potter is not minding that it hurts"

but also
"There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing"
and
"Big things have small beginnings"


An observation by some people (i know we dont really dig old movies or have the opportune to be exposed to such), but after a fair amount of reading, noting that not only david "qoutes"; he also fashion to look like peter o'toole as in the beginning of the movie where we see david spends his time watching old movies, researching languages, lots of reading, watching human dreams, playing solo basketball for about 2 years while the crew were cryosleeping.

Read a blog entry, this is what she thought of it ;
Click Link: The-trick-william-potter-is-not-minding-that-it-hurts < interesting observation.

Now, did david (the andriod) who-has-no-soul is able to 'decide' or is able to make choices, independent from as what is is progammed or told by the crew/weyland (btw since we know his 'god' is peter weyland). an interesting concept ridley puts forth.

what we know of *Thomas Edward Lawrence.


Link above: what this writer says of david



IF david is able to rehearse & quotes from "lawrence of arabia", he should by then able to act out/carry out the act to taking man's life (holloway) as there is a qoute in that (LOA) movie








While we all are debating what elizabeth or charlie or vickers, janek should have more role time. the pivotal character to me is (pretty much) david.

And, david apparently choses to keep 'elizabeth' cross, given reasons of "contamination", yet he chooses to keep in his pocket and not quarantined. what is his reason to do so.

How he chooses (if at all he can make choices independently), his obsession on humans (shaw dreams), on why "he appears" disdained at times by their choices yet could not comprehend shaws obsession on her choice to not return back to earth but seek where engineers come from.



There are far more than meets the eye with this movie. Some may say, nuts like us are making mountains of a mole hill, but i assure you, Prometheus IS everything that has been hyped about.

I dont know if this will spark debates close to nolan's concept of level of dreams (inception the movie), though i find this far, far more appealing in many levels.




this is what david's dialogue in the viral movie







sidenote: *Thomas Edward Lawrence is not a fictional character but the movie Lawrence Of Arabia is of OF him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Another observation, i don't know if someone notice or brought it up before this.

The ship in the beginning of the movie where we see an Engineer is sacrificed drinking the black goo IS different from the crescent shaped engineer ship that was tasked to travel to (destroy) earth as was told by david & the info relayed to shaw.

thank you, thank you.

did i not share that i equate david to Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), blade runner?

that another bloody movie tht will bore the hell out of those who find holes in Prometheus movie the size of moon's craters.

i know i dont always agree, i for one found james cameron's Avatar unimaginative, in fact i think he should stick to titanic Fine, if it had supposedly a large scientist community consulting him etc. ok enough, dont want to go there.


i hope to catch this again in imax
