I think some people would argue how successful they were.

I was watching Prometheus in 3D yesterday and I kept wiping my glasses as it looked smudgy.

I wouldnt say that was meant to be a "tie in" to The Shining.

The guy is most certainly stretching it. I mean come on I never remember Nicholson wearing an environmental suit or being a woman.

If thats how he sees "tie ins" then EVERY film ever made must tie into one another in some form or fashion.

Totally agree.

Spaceships = Star Trek
Aliens = Star Wars
Space suits = 2001
Android = Six Million Dollar Man
Horror = Stephen King
Sci-fi = Jules Verne
People = other movies
And so on...

Remember that part when they put up the Christmas tree in the mess hall?

Total Die Hard ripoff.

Looking forward to number 5 for sure.

I think there's a cut scene in the film where Janek is on a car phone in one of the transports in the vehicle bay, talking to his girlfriend and listening to 80's rap music while he's oblivious to Fifield attacking outside.

Ridley cut it though because it was too "on the nose."

faglun · 10-29-2012, 05:11 PM

are they weeding out the bad discs and selling them for 19$ or I am just dreaming ?

aiman04 · 10-29-2012, 11:07 PM

$19.99 now, should I pull the trigger?

Have not been following this thread as this is not a day-one title for me, but it is my kind of movie, spaceships, hard science fiction with stunning visuals. But what is this about bad discs?

Yeah, I also noticed the slithering alien was a wonderful dovetail with the rattlesnake scene in True Grit.

Wrong, but this was written by a 5 year old:

Yes, this is another problem with the release that is easy to fix. Read back further in the thread for the answer (search digital copy in this thread).

going to delve into some of the special features today... anyone have a recommendation for whether i should watch the movie again w/ commentary (and which one?) or should i just go for the documentary?

MikeCL · 11-02-2012, 02:29 PM

I ordered this movie on Amazon this morning it was $19.99 so and I have been waiting for that price point.

I can't wait to see it, Amazon had a 10 min preview of the movie before release day had be hooked wanting to see more.
