Prometheus

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Ele - as a stand alone - I liked some of the visuals and there were some good ideas struggling to get out. I just didn't think much of the plot, script, characterisation or underlying philosophy.

It was purdy.

Purdy stoopid....

Jenny McCarthy level stupid.

Ayaan and I did nerd jokes all the way through it and had some laughs.

"Big Giant Head!"

"Left!, Right!, any damn way but straight ahead? How can you run a huge corporation and not know how to dodge?"

"Captain, there's a dead crewman at the door, should I let him in?" "Yeah, sure, what could possibly go wrong?"

etc.

But the "Everybody put your hands up" bit was hysterical, no? "Prometheus, the newest thrill ride at Six Flags!"

I suspect the script of that movie was written by people who were also involved in michael bay films and who are likely great fans of ed wood.

They wrote Lost and Cowboys and Aliens...

The buzz is the script was written like this:

Each writer got one sheet of paper and a one paragraph summary of the intended plot.

They each then wrote that page of script.

Without ever consulting each other.

Profit!

Why the fuck do aliens never mine asteroids?

Well, Lost did not make any sense either.

I stopped watching Lost after episode 2 when it became clear that the writers were just going to throw everything including the kitchen sink at the script. Prometheus has similar hallmarks.
