Prometheus - Part 5

I know you've got to do what you've got to do, but Ripley leaving behind a daughter and being a space trucker is kind of nuts.

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Nothing nuts about that.

 

[The Morningstar]

Well it's work. Sometimes people have to work away for a period of time, in a different country, different galaxy...

Aagh! that eye thingy in the link Viscal posted is really freaky! . Kinda gross, really lol.

I cant wait to see this movie t:

Hate to break it to ya...but such things exist in real life.

Supposedly they aren't painful, but they can be felt when they decide to take a trip across your eyeball or under the bridge of your nose. They get in via insect bite, at any rate, so it isn't like the worm is biting your eyeballs to get in.

I'm thinking that gif is from the scene where Holloway [BLACKOUT] lets some of the water from the chamber ceiling drip down on his face after discovering he can breathe the air and taking off his helmet. Some sort of parasitic bacteria might have been in the liquid that landed in his eye.[/BLACKOUT]

Now see, I hate it when movies do that.

Any scientist/explorer worth his/her salt would know that you DO NOT SMELL whatever it is you're testing!

Well, the original Alien is 117 minutes, and Ridley said that the pace of this film is pretty much how he wanted it to be, so I'm not really worried.

 

[Kane52630]

2 hours sounds good to me.

 

[The Morningstar]

Yep.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Goddamn I love the design of that ship. This movie is sprinting to the top of my most anticipated list for this summer.

The cases are mostly in Africa, because of the insects that harbor the parasite. Kind of like a more skeevy version of malaria, or...any number of diseases spread via insect bite, really...

Mother Nature is full of really weird/disturbing things already! t:

 

[chamber-music]

2 hours is good for me. I want some bang for my summer blockbuster buck.

 

[rashad]

That's a solid theatrical running time.

 

[Marvolo]

UH OH!!!

ScriptFlags is reporting that European markets will get the R rated version of the movie and the US will get the PG-13 rated version of the movie. They also report the difference in run-time (17 minutes) is related to the rating, meaning American audiences will NOT get the full intense experience as intended.

That's.......annoying. How reliable is ScriptFlags?

 

[Marvolo]

I never used them as a source. In the meantime this something we need to follow. The fanbase most standup and declare the will not pay for an incomplete film which is what this US cut will be.

[The Morningstar]

Isn't that similar to what Fox did with Taken?

 

[Marvolo]

Yes, but that only ammounted to a few shotsbeing altered. This is 17 minutes difference. Whatever profit they make with the PG-13 rating will be lost by fans boycotting this BS.

I won't boycott it based on the rating or 17 minutes being cut, but it is damned annoying if true.

Friggin Fox.

Seriously your going to pay to see a film that has been hacked to aquire a rating when the rest of the market gets the full film? Why not just wait for the uncut bluray in the Fall rather than tell Fox and the MPAA this nonsense is OK.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Don't worry, if us Euros see the full complete actual movie Ridley wanted to make, then we will only discuss the 17 minutes in spoiler boxes.

[Marvolo]

I expect the European cut will be heavily bootleged now. Scott said the film would get the rating iit needed. A decision to release two cuts with two different rating flies in the face of that statement.
