Steve9347 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 18, 2012 -> 11:53 AM) I want to reiterate that I am ridiculously excited to see Prometheus. That is all. I'm up there with you. Sadly, I had a dream last night that I picked up Alien and Aliens just so the wife could get familiar with the Bugs. I guess I will have to do so.

Steve9347 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 18, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) It is a prequel. Prometheus trailers have already shown the Space jockey suit/pilot cockpit that is in the abandoned alien ship in the original movie. This movie is going to explain why that ship got there. This. And I swear I've seen the eggs and their tips hatching, which could mean face huggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but you are expecting an imitation. Imitations always fall short of the original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever been more excited for a movie. I don't think it is a facehugger, I think it is that cobra thing. One thing about the xenomorph aliens is that they are supposed to be hyperadaptive and evolve very quickly as a result of the DNA of their host, which is why it was a large human sized alien in 1 and 2, and a dog sized alien in 3. From everything I am reading that Ridley Scott has said in interviews, I think we are going to see the Aliens a little bit different than what we know them to look like.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 So... The Avengers was really just OK. Had some funny moments, some decent action, the 2nd easter egg was funny. But the writing was just incredibly clunky. I was expecting much better wit and dialogue from a Joss Wheadon production. It wasn't bad or anything, just... OK.

It was fun, it was a decent movie, but nothing momentous, and I thought the dialogue and writing in general was disappointing. I think, with all the hype, plus Joss Wheadon at the helm, my expectations were too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatnom Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 21, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) You have high standards my friend. I wrote something similar in the Avengers thread. For a 2.5 hour long movie, it either needed more action in the middle or a more interesting plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a 2.5 hour long movie, it either needed more action in the middle or a more interesting plot. My usual standard for how interested I am in a movie is how long it takes me to unconsciously decide to look at my watch to see how much longer the film has. Most movies I last about an hour. Something I'm suffering through will last 30 minutes. For the Avengers, didn't check it once. Yeah, to each their own. It's not going to win oscars, it is an action movie, it's not going to get Robert Downey Jr. a supporting actor nomination, but out of the action movie genre, it's up there at the top.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Watched Drive tonight. I didn't really like it. Very weird. Gosling was too quiet and mysterious throughout the whole thing, and then the violence was just so shocking. I kept saying to myself "uhh......ok" after something would happen. I don't recommend it.

Mind if I ask you to elaborate? I really enjoyed the last 2 Bond films. More character/plot development than the latter 3 Brosnan films, fewer ridiculous space laser chases.

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Casino Royale was excellent, largely because of Eva Green, or, should I say, the repartee between the two of them throughout the entire movie. The follow-up with the Russian model/actress wasn't so good...trust me, though, just watch some of the old Roger Moore ones, or the George Lazenby outing (On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the one where he is briefly married). Those really have not stood up well over time like the Connery classic ones. Heck, the Dalton ones seem more watchable today than most of the Moore ones, and then Brosnan was better than Timothy Dalton.
