Prometheus - Part 3

[CelticPredator]

Someone had to bring TDKR in here. So i'm telling them off.

This is better.

 

[CelticPredator]

I have played that game before. It is called the Prequel trilogy.

I am not going to get into the importance of these films, other then to point out that Nolan's Bat films are relevant to today's social issues.

TDKR trailer wasn't a whole lot of images out of context. There was an idea of what the film was about.

Uh huh. Alien is far more important as a film. I could care less about Occupy Gotham City with Bane.

I'm watching that movie for the conclusion of the story about Bruce Wayne.

As for the Prequel game. Well, Ridley Scott is a competent filmmaker. Lucas? Not so much.

 

[chamber-music]

That is hype, not necessarily reality. I can understand the enjoyment of picking apart trailers, but this feels a little like those wanting Harry Potter to win best picture.

I loved the full version of Kingdom of Heaven. He completely messed up by casting Bloom, but the rest was so strong that I preferred it to Gladiator. But Scott hasn't been a creator of masterpieces since.... Blade Runner.

I don't understand the belief that just because it is Scott that this is going to be amazing. He is 30 years removed from being the guy who made Blade Runner. It would be like thinking Avatar was going to be amazing because Cameron made Aliens and T2. It didn't quite turn out that way.

Sizzler, not mind blowing. My mind hasn't been blown by a trailer since, maybe the full Wall-E trailer.

Ridley Scott has got far more experience and technology has moved on so much since Ridley directed Blade Runner & Alien which were only his 2nd and 3rd movies that Ridley would have even ore to offer the the genre now plus its the most enjoyable his ever felt on a set his said so hopefully if he enjoyed himself the movie might be good.

Good space based Sci-Fi movies are rare these days.

I liked American Gangster as well. I would not call it a masterpiece but it was a solid entertaining movie for me. The only bad movie Ridley has made over thelast decade for me was A Good Year.

I am a big fan of Alien. I am not sure it is as important of a film as you are trying to make it out to be. It isn't even Scott's most important or relevant film. You still see what Blade Runner did in film today.

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm just trying to get the TDKR nonsense out of here.

 

[marcvader]

Every friggin thread I'm tellin yah. Sooner or later....

 

[CelticPredator]

For reals....

 

[marcvader]

Like clockwork

Tech and experience are one thing. The hunger, creativity and the earnest of youth are another.

I am not exactly sure why the genre matters. Why both Alien and Blade Runner worked was because they were sci-fi hybrids. Scott has spent most of the last 10 years making more generic genre films. Well crafted films, but nothing with even the inkling of something new.

I enjoyed American Gangster, but nothing about it was atypical. Same with Kingdom of Heaven, but it was so well made that I it is one of my favorites.

You the one who can't stop talking about it.

Not really...I LOVED Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but I have yet to see anything from TDKR that grabs my interest in a visceral way. This trailer has me easily 10 times more excited than TDKR's.

I consider Gladiator a masterpiece.

While Avatar isn't quite the type of movie that Aliens or T2 were (both were visceral, R-rated experiences) I still thought it was an amazing movie that is better than most of the stuff that Hollywood puts out now-a-days.

Every friggin thread I'm tellin yah. Sooner or later....

Unfortunately, it won't be long before fans start comparing TDKR to Citizen Kane or GOTW as the greatest movie ever.

 

[CelticPredator]

You mentioned it. No one talked about it before hand. Just leave it outta here.

 

[Dark Knight]

I'm just trying to get the TDKR nonsense out of here.

Oookay....then how bout more Prometheus nonsense than?

 

[Dark Knight]

Most likely PG-13. Since that was the agreement.

Where is this agreement and was the lousy Rothman involved?

 

[CelticPredator]

Yes. Since that is what the thread is about. Not the "Let's compare everything to TDKR" thread.

 

[DorkyFresh]

The love for these trailers is starting to get lost on me. I like the trailer quite a bit, but I honestly don't understand how this or even the Hobbit trailer are destroying people's minds. More hype then the quality of the trailers. The only brain sizzler was TDKR trailer imo.

Oh god.......I think someone's been eating too much peanut butter and JELLY!

 

[CelticPredator]

You gotta dig it up. It's so old. But here's a brief re-cap of the issue.

t was revealed in September 2010 that Ridley Scott wanted an 18-certificate movie (Hard R Rating) and a $250M budget but Fox refused. In another report a few weeks later, Damon Lindelof had apparently finished the rewrites on Spaihts’ script cutting large set pieces out and making the script PG13 friendly. In that report, it was stated that Ridley wanted a $150M budget. In July 2011 at Comic-Con, Ridley Scott revealed that the movie is being shot as PG13. This is not final. 20th Century Fox will look at the movie and then decide what it will be. Most likely, we’ll get an Uncut Blu-Ray release.

Scott shot both R rated footage, and PG-13 rated footage.

But for the sake of money, it'll probably be PG-13 for the theater, and R for the Blu Ray/

I liked A Good Year.

Anyway, the trailer was amazing. Prometheus is definitely my second most anticipated movie of next year.

Bane, Alfred and Selina's words for Bruce are what have really got my motor running from this recent run of trailers.

I consider Gladiator a masterpiece.

Gladiator, at least for me, played out exactly how I knew it would. Well made, with strong performances, especially from Phoenix, but there is nothing starling about it. It never sheds the typical Hollywood Epic stereotypes.

In that way it reminds me of Saving Private Ryan, but lacks the almost unmatched intensity of the battle scenes in Spielberg's film.

While Avatar isn't quite the type of movie that Aliens or T2 were (both were visceral, R-rated experiences) I still thought it was an amazing movie that is better than most of the stuff that Hollywood puts out now-a-days.

I honestly didn't enjoy it. The stuff was the military was visually appealing, but the time out in the wild is everything one expects who has watched a film about the natives of North America, with a bunch of annoying characters to boot.

I found everyone of the goodies, outside of Weaver, to be so unlikable I was literally cheering for Stephen Lang to kill them all at the end. t:

Oh god.......I think someone's been eating too much peanut butter and JELLY!

I do peanut butter and peanut butter mostly these days.

Hey, for my favorite book I need more then a little singing and shots of people standing about. Even if one of those persons is Cate Blanchett.
