Can't be worse than Blade Runner

Not worse than Blade Runner? Well, we can certainly dream, can't we?

Thanks, Methodis.

For that to be true it would have to be one of the top 2 movies of all time.

This is like an F for effort in the troll department. Honestly disappointed in you.

I was totally psyched to see the trailer before Dragon Tattoo tonight...
The trailer never came. :(
-
I just finished rewatching Alien. So stoked for Prometheus.

I didn't get the trailer, either. Fucking bullshit, man.

I watched the first half of Alien last night, just to prepare myself for the Prometheus trailer. After all these years, it's still such an amazing movie.
"Hey, why don't they freeze him?"
That line gets my every time. :lol
-
I like how they just let the guy who had an alien stuck to his face walk around freely in the ship after it fell off.

Ash was acting as doctor and everyone (except maybe Ripley) trusted his opinion that Kane was fine.

WHERE IS THE TRAILER DAMNIT
HD, DIRECT FEED, NO SUBSTITUTIONS
-
trailer did not live up to hype. It's like 15 seconds of clips too short to see anything much. Movie will be great (hopefully) but trailer was whatever teaser.

you just described like every trailer ever
it's all the Alien references in the trailer that are exciting.

:lol @ weak-ass PD troll attempt
You're talkin' about it, aren't ya?

Ridley going up Hollywood's ass next summer withou lube
-
Trailer was gud, but Scott gets no faith from me as he has made more terrible movies than good ones and it would take, like, three Blade Runners to cancel out Gladiator.
-
When is the HD version coming out?
-
2 hours

OK trailer. Sort of agree with Bebpo.
Also it's really short.

His strengths seem to be where set design and strong aesthetics are in place and he can be imaginative (like Blade Runner, Alien, Kingdom of Heaven and Legend). I have faith this movie will be amazing.

Is there redemption after Robin Hood? I hope so cause that was one of the biggest dissapointments Ive seen.

Redemption for a handsome production that was ultimately kinda dull? Shouldn't be too hard, as long as Prometheus isn't poo.

I didn't think it was possible to hate Gladiator.
Yeah, it wasn't great, but it wasn't hate-worthy, either.

Why do people act like this will automatically be awesome because his last sci fi film - decades ago - was good? Scott hasn't done much of anything worthwhile lately. Were you guys passionately anticipating Avatar because Cameron's last sci fi film was T2? How did that work out

American Gangster was great, and Kingdom of Heaven Directors Cut is one of the best films ever made in my opinion.
Comparing Scott to Cameron is stupid.
-
I've enjoyed just about every Scott movie I've seen. Haven't seen Robin Hood, though.
-
Robin Hood isn't bad, I thought it was a refreshing take on the legend.
-
Robin Hood is just kinda dull and easily forgotten.
Matchstick Men owned, by the way.
-
Yep. Anyone who hates Robin Hood is grasping at straws. Well made film, just not exactly memorable.
-
And, for the record, I'm interested for two reasons:
1. It's sci-fi
2. It features space exploration
There's far too little of the latter.
-
I like Alien. And really pretty films. And I like horror and mystery, too. That's the thing, it's in space. And space is basically like a really huge, really dark and entirely bottomless ocean. And even our stupid little oceans have crazy horrors in them, so mystery-horror in space is just a beautiful thing.

I really, really hate it too. I can't think of a movie I hate more off the top of my head. Really rubbed me the wrong way.
EDIT: I thought of a movie I hate more: Wizards.

Have you seen Legend? It's pretty hard to sit through. Tim Curry is great tho and whale unicorns are pretty cool.

I supposed in the sense that Cameron is actually a sci fi legend, whereas Scott directed one sci fi film that's considered a classic. But the point remains that this is no sure shot at being awesome, as Scott's recent films have been lackluster outside of KOH DC.

ALIENS trailer had young Sigourney Weaver's butt in low-rise panties.
PROMETHEUS trailer has Charlize Theron, but no butt shot.
I'm calling it now: Clearly ALIENS will remain the superior film.

Prometheus has Charlize Theron doing nude push-ups, though.
