ALSO, would sperm techincally be considered a "test press"? why do I think of this shit.

I was all baked last night and not only thought this was funny, but also posted this in the wrong thread(s). I had this whole stoned analogy where the egg were the tracks/art/etc and the sperm was the vinyl/pressing process. I thought it was funny, but then again...........

Oh and I'm finally seeing Prometheus tomorrow!

Yeah, I have been hearing a lot of people bitching about Prometheus and that it didn't deliver or what not...I think people were just expecting another Alien movie.

Prometheus was brilliant. Sets up the Xenomorph perfectly, IMO.

Nerd glasses on...

Prometheus takes place on LV 223 not on LV 426. You can tell between the two movies that the planets have entirely 2 different types of planets. Now you can only assume that the engineers had the same plans for these 2 separate planets as in they are both planets being used for housing the alien life forms/dna or what not and then to use both planets as a point to leave from to go to earth and destroy mankind but also the same things went wrong before the humans got there OR the ship that Shaw took with David crashes on LV 426 and if they accidently (or on purpose) wake up another engineer.

There is another movie planned.

Yeah, more spoilers:

Another thing to think about. Remember seeing the Xenomorph type thing on the mural in the room with the vases? I see two theories. The Xenomorph is destruction incarnate (the symbol of death/selfishness and the embodiment of "life at the cost of others") for the Engineers - Hence when the humans interact with the black goo; bad shit happens. This is of course going on the tangent that the black goo is the Engineers life building substance and not a weapon of mass destruction as Janek states to Shaw.

The whole building block of that theory though is the "Self-sacrifice to create new life" (Remember the opening scene? Engineer kills himself to spawn life) versus the human "Survival at the cost of others' lives". Read this dude's blog post to find out more about it:
http://cavalorn.livejournal.com/584135.html

It's long winded but pretty interesting. A theory that states Jesus was actually an Engineer emissary - Hence why they planned to kill us sometime around 2,000 years ago!

The other theory is that the Xenomorph is already out there in the universe and the Engineers created it or are harnessing it as a weapon. This is pretty much the basic conclusion when watching the film I think. Basically we see proto-Xenomorphs in a couple of different ways.

IDK. It's ambiguous enough to look at it from a couple of different perspectives. That's why it's brilliant, haha.

I reckon they should just leave it at the one... Plus I'll lose a bet if there is a sequel, haha.

ALSO a little off summer movie topic but did anyone see the Chistopher Nolan movie The Prestige. I thought it was amazing and one of his best...anyway my wife and I have been having a 5 year debate or so about Christian Bale's character and if he was a clone or a twin...I say twin 100% but my wife is obsessed that Tesla built him a machine and created a clone...she is crazy...I need some opinions.

When the black goo is mixed with an Engineer it evolves into a human. When the black goo is mixed with a human, it evolves into a face hugging type of creature. When the face hugger mixes with a engineer, it evolves into a Queen Xenomorph with superior strength and speed. When a face hugger mixes with a human, it evolves into a Xenomorph. This is what I have come up with when it comes to with evolution of the Xenomorph. NOW...another debate is what the hell were the Engineers running from and piled up in a mass grave? My take...they were performing experiments with the black goo and they ended up with a human. They then mixed the black goo with the human and it evolved into those snake like face huggers and that is why they were present in the ship and that is what was coming out of the doctors eye after David spiked his drink with the goo. The huggers started to infect the engineers and everyone started killed each other off and/or dying.

Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at with it too...

And sorry, I am 99% sure there will be another movie or even 2 because Scott hinted that he wanted to make this into a trilogy.

coandca09, have you seen Revolver or RocknRolla yet? two of ritchies' lesser celebrated caper movies

Thumbs up. chazcore1980 said: anyway my wife and I have been having a 5 year debate or so about Christian Bale's character and if he was a clone or a twin...I say twin 100% but my wife is obsessed that Tesla built him a machine and created a clone...she is crazy...I need some opinions. I'm 100% it's twin, pretty sure they make that obvious in some way or another. Tell her to stop with this tomfoolery.

I've always thought it was a twin. Also definitely thumbs up.

Layercake was very good.

Ready for The Dark Knight Rises!

in 48 hours I will enjoying almost 8 hours of the Batman Trilogy!

Will do. I'm sure it will be nothing less than amazing, haha.

Also Chaz, I planned on doing the marathon as well but forgot I had Japanese lessons tonight, so just settled for the movie tomorrow morning...

Try

There was nothing interesting in the cinema (Batman and Prometheus next week here), so tempted by trailer I went to see Cosmopolis. Worst crap I have seen in months, maybe years. Fucking boring and not giving much instead. Beware.

chazcore1980 said:

Are the movies in English or are they dubbed or subtitled?

Chazz, are you talking to me..? ;) If yes, I guess you're asking what's going on with foreign movies in Poland. Fortunately, dubbing is not the way the distributors deal with them, only cartoons I think. Movies are subtitled. What is the next question, does it have anything in common with Cosmopolis? I really wanted that movie to be good, but it is not, definitely.

Fuck, can't wait to see it!

Holy fuck! TDKR....wow! That is all I will say. Blown away on how good it was. Bane was so terrifying and beautiful. The ending was so jaw dropping.

Knew you'd like it dude! There was one scene* where I almost jumped, air punched and cheered, haha. Took every fibre I had to restrain myself.

Got goosebumps so many times during it though.


*Where the police charge Bane's army head on after the Bat shoots the tanks.

Yeah, the movie isn't perfect but it is fucking epic and amazing. The sheer scope of it is brilliant. In fact, re-watching BB and TDK - They all have the same kind of plot inconsistencies at times that 'Rises' has. It doesn't detract from them at all though, I reckon.

Bane was scary. He was even scaring the shit out of me for fuck's sake, haha!

I just couldn't get over Bane's voice; at times he sounded like Christopher Walken on helium.

Another thing that bothered me was that how did Batman suddenly be able to kick serious criminal ass when he was walking with a cane just minutes before?

He used a steel leg brace of sorts from memory on his bad leg which I guess is mean't to explain his crippled leg becoming good again.

I loved Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Tom Hardy. Sorry but I loved Bane's voice. It was perfect.

Christian Bale was good. He hasn't been the center in either of the last 2 movies. Tom Hardy and Heath Ledger have stolen both.

SPOILERS!!!

Well, the leg thing wasn't even the most unbelievable thing regarding Batman's physique in the movie ;) Michael Caine was superb in the movie, not sure how I feel about some of the other performances.

HEY DICK NUGGETS... Put SPOILERS before you say some shit people wouldn't know unless they've seen the movie. this isn't THE DARK NIGHT RISES OFFICIAL thread... and this isn't VC or B9... have some class.
