Prometheus - Part 5

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, E4's where it's on.

Meh, I have 'em all on DVD anyway...

 

[Boom]

Theron: "Michael loves to watch people fall on YouTube."

 

[chamber-music]

I've been saying since the start, they be ****ing.

Nah I think they just like flirting

Fassbender seems to have a think for Black chicks seeing as his previous 3 Girlfriends have all been black.

I think his still dating his Shame co-star as his been spotted strolling around London and New York with her.

 

[TheFuture]

They have been showing all the Alien films (one each wednesday on E4 other the past few weeks)

Got the anthology on Blu-ray for €20, arguably the best bit of business I've done since purchasing my PS3.

 

[Boom]

I just bought Alien and Aliens separately. I can't bring myself to buy the Anthology, only to let Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection sit on my shelf untouched.

Even in spite of that, the Anthology is WELL worth it. The wealth of special features is immense. I mean, HUGE.

Plus, it has the "Assembly Cut" of Alien 3, which is a marked improvement over the theatrical one.

TBH, I don't find Resurrection as excruciating as most do. I've seen worse, way worse. I think Resurrection just suffers from the fact that it is vastly inferior to Alien and Aliens.

Undoubtely below par, I guess it's just a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[Spider-Who?]

Resurrection was actually the first Alien film I ever saw. I can certainly see people's issues with it, but for ME, it's not nearly as terrible as others make it out to be.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I think the best thing I can say about Resurrection is that compared to the AVP movies, it's an undisputed masterpiece .

 

[chamber-music]

Resurrection is a ok popcorn flick. I personally prefer it to Alien 3 which was I always found rather boring.
I find Brad Dourif hammy acting annoying sometimes but he was alright in Resurrection.

I enjoy Resurrection as a guilty pleasure. That is until that god awful hybrid thing is born. Then I usually stop watching. Guilty pleasure or not he movie sticks out like a sore thumb when compared to the others. It doesn't even feel like the same franchise. Jean-Pierre Jeunet was not a good choice for this franchise.

 

[chamber-music]

They should of gone with another story or not bothered after Alien 3. I really didn't care what happened to Ripley's clone. Thank god they got rid of the Newborns genitals.

Cool! Only thing I have to say is that the fog one really doesn't look like fog - it just looks like everything is washed out. The other two are awesome though.

[The Morningstar]

Yeah, the assembly cut is better, no doubt. Everytime I see Alien 3 I cant help but be reminded of the Vincent Ward "Wooden Monastery" idea for it. That, IMO, is the film they shoulda made.

Spoiler

The story by Vincent Ward and the screenplay with co-writer John Fasano had Ripley's escape pod crash landing on a monastery-like satellite, which had parts of its interior, both, wooden and archaic in design. The Alien 3 special features disc set, Alien Quadrilogy[12] explains how Ward came about creating the story for this partially wooden satellite also as a place of refuge for Luddite-like monks.
The story begins with a monk who sees a "star in the East” (Ripley's escape pod)[13] and at first believes this to be a good sign. Upon arrival of Ripley, and with increasing suggestions of the Alien presence, the monk inhabitants believe it to be some sort of religious trial for their misdemeanors, punishable by the creature that haunts them. By having a woman in their monastery, they wonder if their trial is partially caused by sexual temptation, as Ripley is the only woman to be amongst an all male community in ten years. To avoid this and (hopefully) the much grimmer reality of what she has brought with her, the Monks of the "wooden satellite" lock Ripley into a dungeon-like sewer and ignore her advice on the true nature of the beast.[14] The monks believe that the Alien is in fact the Devil.[15]
Primarily though, this story was about Ripley's own soul searching complicated by the seeding of the Alien within her and further hampered her largely solo attempts to defeat it. The Alien Quadrilogy DVD set features scenes and illustrations that show this ‘Wooden Planet’. Aspects of the monastery and monks of these drafts were later utilised in the final production of the film by having the male inmates participating in an apocalyptic religion that forbade sexual relations. Primarily it was the plot of Alien 3 that was borrowed from this story but little of this world remained in the film. Despite his credit, Ward noted that the things he liked best about the story and those that he believed would have made it work were not used. The screenplay featured scenes set in different locations on the one-mile (1.6 km) wide wooden planetoid, ranging from wheat fields, through a grisly but darkly comic scene in the monks’ communal toilets, to furnaces and a glass works (also used in the finished film).
Empire magazine described Ward’s ‘Wooden Planet’ concept as ‘undeniably attractive – it would have been visually arresting and at the very least, could have made for some astonishing action sequences. In the same article, Norman Reynolds - Production Designer originally hired by Ward - remembers an early design idea for “a wooden library shaft. You looked at the books on this wooden platform that went up and down”. ‘Imagine the kind of vertical jeopardy sequence that could have been staged here – the Alien clambering up these impossibly high bookshelves as desperate monks work the platform’.[16]:156 Sigourney Weaver described Ward’s overall concept as “very original and arresting.”[16]:153 Former Times journalist David Hughes included Ward’s version of Alien 3 amongst ‘The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made’[17] in his book of this title. Since Ward’s vision for the film was never borne out into the arena of public scrutiny, this is obviously reserved for those who have taken a particular interest in the Alien project. However, Ward’s proposed version of Alien 3 has gained a certain following with the 2009 article in Empire Magazine[16] and an extensive section dedicated to Ward’s vision in the Alien Quadrilogy box set.

Interesting. A lot of that made it into the assembly cut. The whole trial and temptation theme at least.

The bold literally made me laugh out loud. Well played

Nice rendering too. But it was Atlas who held the world up, not Prometheus.

When does that Prometheus issue of Empire come out in the US?

Wow so Zoe Kravitz is out?

I just bought Alien and Aliens separately. I can't bring myself to buy the Anthology, only to let Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection sit on my shelf untouched.

I bought a horrid box set of Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection, Predator, Predator 2, AvP, and AvP 2 for £5.

I have never put AvP in my tray, and I have never even seen AvP 2. But Alien, Aliens, or Predator warrant £5 by themselves.

The peculiar economics of DVD box sets means you have to accept a tiny bit of faeces in your hamburger.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

No matter what happens, I cannot wait to see this. Cannot *wait*.

Wow so Zoe Kravitz is out?

It's crazy because that's Lenny Kravitz's daughter.
