I'm more psyched for apparently-rumored chic-spendibles spin-off. Imagine the potential!

Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton, Carrie Fishers still around I think, Uma Therman (so I guess Daryl Hannah, Lucy Lu, Vivica Fox), Carrie-Anne Moss, Jeniffer Garner.

I'm blanking but the must be a tonne more...

Oh wait! I don't think any of them have been confirmed... Just the concept has been. I'm listing likely (aka stupid-if-they-don't) players.

[CCS]

Lol, Carrie Fisher? Seriously?

Hey, I've got an idea for the title: instead of The Expendables, it can be The Menopausals.

[StN]

Expandibles more like it.



Nek Minnut...

[fidgit]

Why could she not play the evil villainess mastermind? Ordering around her minions. (also, I forgot Michelle Rodriguez and Milla Jovovich)

[CCS]

Lol, yeah. People would carry out her bidding for fear of being nagged to death. "You haven't called your mother! You, take out the rubbish! How many TIMES do I have to ASK you? I'm having a hot flush!"

Finally watched Prometheus. Good effects but shit plot and stupid 1 dimensional actors, except David that is.

This afternoon I shall put the fire on and watch Zulu and drink whiskey, at least that is a good movie.

[oOo Dragon oOo]

Watched Dark Knight Returns Pt1 last Night. Really good watch - probably one of my more fav Batman films

[Baxton]

for anyone who has been lobotomised recently and was actually expecting anything except the most mediocre ass seepage from this reboot then stand astounded!

the new robocop suit is worse than the original (shock fucking horror)

Saw Prometheus the other day as well...I wanted so much to like the movie but it was made impossible by a complete lack of bio controls..any other plan than let's turn up and see what happens, and charlize running straight...

[wazza]

Prometheus was terrible. I too, badly wanted to enjoy it!~

[Caesar]

Fucken MiB3 was bloody horrible. I could only just watch through it all.
It just felt wrong, the whole way through. Only redeeming feature was the guy who played younger "K", he just nailed Tommy Lee Jones character to a T.

/edit.
Also re the new Robocop, there's no way in hell it could ever match up to the original, I'll put money on it.
It does have some big stars but, nah, Paul Verhovens version is just beautifully brutal.

After Prometheus I won't be watching anything with Damon Lindelof's name attached to it. He's a rubbish writer and he absolutely butchered it. Million-dollar set and production design, ten-cent story. I've always found the success of Lost to be somewhat bizarre given that it was boring as batshit and made no sense at all.

[_Incubus_]

Oh oh...he is one of the writers on star trek 2...I'm now worried about the new wrath of Khan being shite..

[_Incubus_]

Just read Eberts review of Prometheus...and of course he gave it 4/4...I should start watching movies he hates more often

[Spink]

Prometheus is "good" (read: critic good) because it was supposedly one of the best uses of 3D yet, during the dust hologram scenes. According to some making of thing I watched.

[aR Que]

I didn't think Prometheus that bad, i mean, yea, some things didn't make a lot of sense and the whole, 'hey, look, aliens, DO YOU SEE?!' made me twitch. Taking off the helmets? lol.

But was alright, just kind of filled in the a few bits myself, and all good.

[doppelgänger of someone]

Yeah, I filled in bits and pieces by imagining I was watching a better movie, and pretending that I was torrenting it rather than watching it in the cinema.

By that point Prometheus was all good.

[StN]

Oh great - I really should vet the wifes Mighty Ape reorders then. Should have put my foot down after Ghost Rider 3D turned up. It appears both MIB3 and Prometheus are in the queue.

[[WanG] Wandarah]

Prometheus was fucking awful. Only redeemed by the fine pair of pins that are the legs of Noomi Rapace.

[Ab]

I'll pretty much watch anything with Michael Fassbender in it. But even as a scifi geek I have not yet seen Prometheus because it just doesn't sound that good.

I enjoyed it for what it was, a film post 2000

Bro, as a sci-fi geek, you're sure being picky.
Lets face it, the sci-fi genre is plagued by being shit. You got to allow for that, and adjust accordingly.

[Baxton]

theres been a fair few good scifi movies of the past while. considering the lowish output of it as a genre tis not tooo bad?
moon
a scanner darkly
pandorum
serenity

brain fuzzed morn so the list is short and argument possibly pretty weak

Did you like Jane Eyre? It was pretty fun watching him in Prometheus having just watched that recently. I'd deffo rate him as top character in Prometheus too, by a large amount. You need an edited version with just his scenes.

[Savage]

Must admit, I enjoyed it purely from a seeing-the-beginnings-of-face-huggers-and-aliens point of view. As others have mentioned, Michael seemed to be the only character with any depth; liked how they showed him learning human traits and trying to become more human during the flight there. Not entirely sure why a) he was so keen to push through and awaken the last remaining engineer, or b) why the awakened engineer was so emo and angus when he woke up, and decided to roflstomp them all. Maybe the version I saw was missing sub titles when Michael tried to speak to him?

I'm a huge fan of the Alien series, even the shitty later attempts, so I enjoyed the various salutes and pointers to the future events in the series. I don't really go into a big sci fi movie looking for plot holes and deep thoughtful scripts; I'm generally there to see awesome special effects, big explosions, hot wimmens in tight clothing, and some aliens rampaging all over the place. This movie delivered most of that

[Cyberbob]

Prometheus needed more faulty auto-pilots.

[dylan]

Fasswang is fucking awesome in every single thing I've seen him in. But even Fasswang could not get the bad taste of Prometheus out of my mouth.

It was just like...what the fuck? How do you pay a trillion dollars and end up with the most bumbling and inept team of scientists ever? Did they recruit them from a post on /b/?

Special effects were awesome though.

[p-b]

I like Prometheus, but the bit I found hardest to understand was at the end where David was like "oh hi, btw I can work their ship, lets fly it!"...

Oh and also, how would the first Queen have been created if the first Alien that appeared was from a male engineer

[herp]

Damon Lemondork really did his homework on Prometheus. My favorite part was when Charlize Theron said they had traveled 500 million miles from Earth. ie: as far as Jupiter.

I've only just heard about this (mainly because Simon Pegg and Wil Wheaton tweeting about it): Star Wars Despecialised

[Baxton]

Be interested to know if it is worth getting (i.e how good it looks on a bigish tv)

Sounds awesome. Lucas' decision not to preserve the original (as far as we know, I mean, he may have scanned a super high-res version that he keeps secret) was just spiteful. Oh, and hypocritical...

But anyway... There are some minor alterations I have no problem with. Colourising the lightsabres properly for example. Or removing the silly vaseline smudge under Luke's speeder. I agree with Mos Eisley being larger - after all, it is supposed to be a space port rather than a pathetic little outpost. On the other hand, it doesn't need to have stupid CG characters fighting each other (ecch).
