*shrug* I liked Prometheus.

Man, I loved that movie.
Didn't understand it.....but loved it.

I see I'm too late to beat the Prometheus whiners.

Prometheus wasn't as good as you wanted it to be, but it sure as hell wasn't as bad as you insist.  This Black Hole movie will be better written and directed than any of you losers could manage.

I think of the two writers involved in Prometheus, this is the one that didn't totally fark it up.

Not writing. This may not completely suck.

The villain's end scene in TBH scared the shiat out of me as a kid.

Well that's nice.  Do you feel better now?

I notice "one of..." I didn't watch the writing credits but I am going to generously assume one person can't have enough suck in them to have solely written Prometheus. I don't know which was worse the film or the pretentious twits that tell you how misunderstood it was.

/There there.
//*Hug*

I saw it when I was a kid. There was much "Disney made a PG movie. oooooooo"

of course, PG back then could include the occasional boob or Jessica 6's nom nom nom nom nom outfit

Same here. I saw that movie at just the right age that I had nightmares for months.

Spaihts? He's cool. It's that other guy who rewrote most of Prometheus we have to look out for.

Mugato: I doubt the remake will be as trippy and farked up as the original.

You can't 'Remake' perfection.

The Darkest Hour was farking atrocious

/had to review it

Are you going to support that argument, or is it just on your say-so?  Here's my argument for why "Prometheus" is a bad movie - yes, a bad movie:  the narrative is a rambling, unfocused jigsaw puzzle that doesn't make any sense no matter which way you try to put it together.

If you can explain the story and plot to me in concise, understandable terms, I'll concede my argument to yours.  What do you say?

I wanted to love Prometheus.

That I couldn't made me have a sad.....


I hope they can do much better with the plot on the Black Hole reboot.

Hollywood...destroying my childhood one crappy remake at a time.

I mean come on, though. The original wasn't exactly a masterpiece.

Flaumig: I see I'm too late to beat the Prometheus whiners Alien lovers.

F the sh*t out of TFY.

Erix: I think of the two writers involved in Prometheus, this is the one that didn't totally fark it up.

Yep. Spaihts' "Alien: Engineers" script has been floating around for a long time and it was waaaay better before Damon "See? Jack and his friends are in limbo after all" Lindehof got his hacky mitts on it.

I'd be more worried about this:

Justin Springer, who produced Kosinski's feature debut Tron: Legacy

The new Tron movie looked spiffy but somehow managed to be crushingly boring. And don't get me started on Jeff Bridges uncanny valley doppelganger .

The Cygnus remains one of the coolest spaceships ever on film.

Just keep the theme and the hell ending. That's all they need to do.

I went into Prometheus with really low expectations, mostly because I waited until it was available on iTunes, so I'd heard from everybody how much it sucked. It seemed a lot better than I expected. Could it have been better? Certainly. Was it Dungeon King: Two Worlds bad? No, but not much is. Sure, it was no biatch Slap! but then, only biatch Slap! is biatch Slap!

Prometheus wasn't horrible and it was visually stunning. Unfortunately, good writing is still the best special effect, and they apparently didn't budget for it.

Hrmm I really hope this isn't a horrendous vortex of suckage. I named my corgi Maximilian after the badass evil robot from that movie.
Movie warped my fragile little mind as a kid.

Mugato: So they're doing remakes of The Black Hole and 2,000 Leagues Under the Sea? Kind of redundant.

Only 2,000 leagues this time? Where's the ambition?

I can't even figure out the economics of that world. Massive interstellar ships without landing vessels. Sublight interstellar ore haulers. Rates of angular rotation of ships that mean they either have inertial dampening or ship parts held together with strong force reinforced matter.

But it's got a simpler story and plot than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was a superior movie.

And at least we're not talking about road trip movies. So many stories are road trips, which end up being easy to explain because they really are linear.

/What is Star Wars but a series of epic road trips.

Nope, sorry Prometheus blew goat chunks. Nice visuals but who ever wrote it was either high or stupid or both.

You know, a modern, non-disneyfied remake of 20,000 leagues would kick ass if done properly.

Otto_E_Rodika: The Cygnus remains one of the coolest spaceships ever on film.

Old-school FX model makers in Hollywood have said that they LOVED the Cynus model kits because of all the "greeblies" (odds and ends) they could make from it.

Probably the first Borg Cube was made from several Cygnus kits.

wiredroach: Prometheus wasn't horrible and it was visually stunning. Unfortunately, good writing is still the best special effect, and they apparently didn't budget for it.

Actually yeah, it was horrible. But the visuals were so compelling, some people were fooled into thinking they'd seen something better than they really had. Call it the Avatar Effect, where audiences are so wowed by the window dressing, they refuse to accept that what's on display is worthless junk.

Picture the exact same film done with SyFy Channel production values. No one would be championing it because no one would remember it.
