I really enjoyed this while I was watching it but the more I think About it the more I'm thinking it didn't explain a damn thing about what was happening never mind explaining anything about the Aliens. Hmmm. Still looked incredible, at least. I'd really like a sequel on the Engineer planet not written by Lindelof.

Ooh! I'd also like to see what the script looked like before the Alien stuff was draped over it.

The early script was a true Alien prequel, and it sounded much better. Yay.

Not at all like Kingdom of Heaven. That actually had a story and characters in the theatrical.

Threadbare maybe, but what they all did made sense.

Prometheus is a disaster. No amount of supplemental content is going to change that.

Wasn't talking about Prometheus, just the average Ridley Scott movie.

Just like Kingdom of Heaven. The theatrical was crap, and the DC nearly is a masterpiece. Go figure.

Is it that far fetched that they would edit the theatrical release to shit in which case it doesn't matter because they already got your money, and then when the bluray is released add all the good shit and coax people into paying for that too?

note: obviously did not finish reading the entire thread

I still don't get how a director like Scott doesn't have total control over his pictures. He's a A-grade director, and all his recent movies were hacked and thus their director's cut were 100% superior.

He's a hard guy to figure out. I don't believe it's about control, I just find that his work lacks confidence.

He can't figure out where to make his cuts, although he uses one of the best editors alive.

It's easier for him to step back and let the studio do it. Then, he gets to distribute his original version for those that care and everyone's floored.

RE: Prometheus - I know C.j. and I talked about this back in Ep 67 of BDR "Mayonnaise Sandwich" and we both started loving it but after an hour of discussion we were angry. Well after a re-watch, the anger has gone away. I do really enjoy the fuck out of this flick. That being said, after watching the 36 minutes of deleted scenes my only thought was : "What the fuck Ridley? At least 25 minutes of those should have been in the movie and it would made a huge difference for a bunch of those characters."

Still one of the wettest farts put to film.

But also a little bit of the hilarious misadventures of biologist hipster and punk rock geologist.

SPIN-OFF!

[Captain Russ]

10 minutes of deleted scenes or so.

It was mostly more drunk sad guy and more old guy. But also a little bit of the hilarious misadventures of biologist hipster and punk rock geologist.

NOOOO WHAT WAS IT?!?!
