Prometheus - Part 2

[CelticPredator]

Ash???
Ash couldn't even kill an unarmed Ripley. Yaphet Kotto's character (name escapes me at the moment) literally ripped him apart with his bare hands. How was *he* supposed to kill the entire crew?

Ash was gliching out. Watch Alien again.

Everything from the last half of his scenes, he was not working correctly. His mannerisms, his motor skills, everything was malfunctioning.

He was alone with Ripley. His mind was going every which direction. He wanted to rape her. But he couldn't. So he did something else.

The only reason he was stopped was because of Parker coming in.

And even Ash gave him a ****ing fight.

Okay about the blue mist, but if they were in stasis how did one opened when kane came near? sure movement wouldn't deactivate the stasis status of the eggs, plus conveniently just one opened, the one that Kane happened to stumble upon. Unless somehow the eggs/ huggers have a biological radar which can detect body heat from a close by organism which would "wake it up".

Actually...my first assumption was infact body heat woke it from stasis

 

[CelticPredator]

They can detect people close by.

The stasis was for the Space Jockey. But he dead, so....

That's right. From the moment Ripley accessed the secret files and Ash discovered it he started to go haywire. He even started sweating that white milk ****.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yep. I guess watching Alien every day when I was 6 really paid off!

He's spot on. Nothing beats practicality.

 

[dark_b]

he is right that with CGI you can do everything. and that is the problem. the problem is not doing CGI IMO. the problem is that the explosion is to big. the problem is that the monster is to fast,to light,to big and to bright.
because 80% of directors are using CGI the wrong way some think that CGI is bad. yet every time and i mean everytime the director is using CGI in a good way everyone is calling god. District 9. you think those aliens could be practical? nevah.

 

[CelticPredator]

That's because people who use CGI good get praised. And the people who don't, get booed.

 

[The Morningstar]

Well of course. CGI should be used to enhance, to add to. Not be THE main thing. Especially when it comes to horror. CGI should be a tool, not the whole thing, if you get what i'm saying.

 

[CelticPredator]

Kinda. Unless the movie is supposed to be a CGI thing, like that's the entire point of the movie....then it's OK. Unless there's too many of those running around.

I don't want 14 Avatars coming out every year....

 

[The Morningstar]

haha fo reals

 

[CelticPredator]

In horror, CGI should never be used.

I am looking at The Thing prequel. I don't blame the director, because I feel like he DID film the practical stuff to use, maybe with some minor enhancements...but the studio wanted CGI cool looking stuff, so they forced it.

I hope that's what it was.

It just takes you out a bit. Practical FTW!

i dont think the statue looks humanoid. humanoid would be something that looks similar to a human. from what i see it looks like a normal human head.

You're spiliting hairs.

Humanoid: Having an appearance or character resembling that of a human.

The statue is humanoid. It's not from Earth (as far as we know) and the statue resembles a human thus the definition humanoid.

 

[E.NormusJohnson]

I hate it when directors abuse CGI.

You are now assuming humans are from Earth in the "Alien/Prometheus/Blade Runner" world.

Is there a particular reason you put Blade Runner in there with Alien & Prometheus....? Other than the fact that Ridley Scott directed all three, I've never heard any indication that Blade Runner was tied in with the Aliens universe.

That's why I wrote "as far as we know" in parentheses or did you not read that part?

 

[CelticPredator]

It was always hinted that Blade Runner is in the same universe.

They even have the same "PURGE" logo.

I think there were hints at his malfunctioning earlier in the film. Right as Lambert, Dallas, and Kane were leaving the Nostromo onto LV-426 for the first time, and it shows Ash putting on the jump suit, and kinda doing a weird jogging in place motion. I always thought it was odd and intentional, I think his glitching started much earlier than that.

Ugh. Please, no. It's bad enough that the Aliens universe has been mashed up with Predators; trying to squeeze frakkin' skinjobs into the timeline is hopeless.

 

[CelticPredator]

I said hinted. Chill out. It was never confirmed, therefore, isn't real.

I was going to mention that. But to me, it always seemed like he was just warming up his joints or something. I personally never took it as a glitch. But it could've been. It was intentional though.

The reason I always saw it as a glitch was because he kinda looks around nervously, just his expression as he did it was "different". But that was just always how I interpreted it.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

There is also the talk about how the Blade Runner sequel will make it "more obvious" they are connected. Personally, it has always been clear to me that Blade Runner and Alien are in the same universe at different points of time.

And lets be honest. Ridley Scott's continuity has nothing to do with anything after Alien. As much as I love Aliens, it isn't the material Scott is pulling from. So Predators? Not the same universe.

That's why I wrote "as far as we know" in parentheses or did you not read that part?

At what point did you even imply humans aren't from Earth?

You questioned whether the statue is from Earth, not whether mankind itself is. So now may I ask whether you read your own post correctly?
