Prometheus

When I saw it in the cinema, my friend turned to me and jokingly went "Phwoar!" when they did the [spoiler]very phallic looking aliens forcing their way into mouths[/spoiler] bit.

I don't do this much, but: LOL.

So Commando and Taken aren't as different as I first implied...

Ah come on, Commando was never intentionally racist was it? They wouldn't have cast Arnold otherwise.

Or am I missing something?

Commando's not racist but it does imply that Australians are camp and could be accused of homophobia as Arnold exclaims 'Boy George? They should just call him Girl George - save all the confusion'.

Anonymous as in he's a non-entity.  He's a name in a forum.  Not a person.  It's an account.

I'm confused.  If I use a word incorrectly, does this mean you are all meant to know what my true intent was?  That'll make things easier.

Anyway, to PROMETHEUS.  Where did they drag up the 5 star reviews to plaster all over the DVD and Blue-Ray adverts? Even if you accepted all of the massive failings in plot, (and I often do when sat in a cinema) there's nothing there above a grudging 3 stars is there?

-  Special effects? Nothing New.
- Designs? Nothing new.
- Cinematography? Generic Sci-Fi.
- Pacing? all over the place and thirty minutes too long
- 3-D? Flat. 
- Script? No memorable lines.
- Trailer? gave away entire plot. 
- Fassbender? Didn't show his wang.
- Rapace? She ain't all that.

Fassbender not showing his wang I'll give you.

The rest I have some issues with.

Haha I am convinced you're trying to have me borrow Commando from a friend so I can answer that cos I've already admitted to only remembering the basic plot and quotes! I see it as a "Watch it when it's on ITV or Channel 5 but don't intentionally seek it out" film and you're pulling this on me?!

Commando's not racist but it does imply that Australians are camp and could be accused of homophobia as Arnold exclaims 'Boy George? They should just call him Girl George - save all the confusion'.

I genuinely don't remember that quote!
As for Tiplodocus asking where the high star ratings came from for Prometheus, I'm guessing a lot of tabloid papers because tabloids never seem to employ decent film critics and maybe places online that had never been heard of before now!

Boy George is an Ausstralian? Well fuck a duck!

Yeah, and perhaps it also might be something to do with certain tabloids being owned by the same parent company that made the film....

Lol No need to watch the film for me dude, I have the DVD. I was just hoping you could point out some consitencies to your thoery for the better of my ignorance because I can't find any. No strings being pulled here

That's not really true is it? If so then I will never trust a critics opinion ever again.

Stop with the reverse psychology!

I hadn't even thought about that! Though even if you look at The D. Mirror and or its sister titles, the critics are awful. Seriously, I'm in the habit of buying TDM on Fridays just to angrily read the film reviews.

I wouldn't put any stock in anything a newspaper film critic says - with a few exceptions.

No but this dude is:

My problem with TDM's film critic (David Edwards) goes back to when he reviewed Constantine and said it was based on the cult-British comic book Hellboy.
"Congratulations" I still think to this day "you managed to create a review worse than the film."

[Link Prime]

No but this dude is:

Ahhh Bennett- the most hackneyed and enjoyable 80's villain ever.
I wore out my VHS (and tear ducts with laughter) back in the day at the bit where Arnie executes him with a bit of steel pipe.
"Let off some steam, Bennett"...vintage.
