Good morning, nerd. I'm hardly aloof, I am in love with the movie Prometheus and we are gonna get gay married now. Check out ALL-PRO SEXMAN's posts to see someone rolling with the punches (more like . . SEMI-PRO ahahahahaa!!)

And know this: i will never die


If we were talkin, say Alien Resurrection, then I might agree with this. Also lol at the nerd-paranoia; "other ppl are just pretending to disagree"


:ssh: it did. It's not like he's posting random shots from movies that have no relationship to Prometheus - it's a lineage

You are a really bad poster, but it looks like you enjoy your retard shtick, so more power to you

I guess if I were to rely on memes to think/speak, art would probably appear confusing and maddening. Luckily, there is another way - choose to walk the strong and virile path of the drama class jock!

That's been my complaint too but the movie was still okay without the additional exposition. If Ridley had opted not to make a sequel and left all the cut stuff in, we probably would've got a lot more cohesive plot and a movie that may have stood next to Aliens 1 and 2.

BUT HE DIDN'T SO WHATCHA GONNA DO???

I'm going to continue to think it was bad, and also complain about how bad it was online. But the alien abortion scene was pretty good so I'll guess I'll cut it some slack.

What the hell does the sequel involve though ? Rapace and fassbender-head zoom into the babyface home planet where they have everything explained to them like neo and the architect? Because that blows. Do they go for the same sort of thriller? In that case they will need some disposable crew so probably they will say that rapace's ship went into hypersleep and was discovered by a crew of space miners decades later. I would actually like that last bit if they weave it into some weird metafiction.

the sequel is hardcore pornography film where Noomi's vagina, mouth, and rear end in a top hat are openly ravaged by a disembodied fassbender. this occurs for 90 minutes, uninterrupted. the movie releases to lukewarm reviews but is eventually given a 74% Certified Fresh rating on rotten tomatoes.
internationally the film turns a small profit and is considered a success by the hollywoood Jewish oligarchy.

Looks like SMG really wants to make his presence in a Prometheus thread but knows better than to post his typical poo poo outside of CineD. I guess constantly posting tangentially related gifs is some kind of substitute.

Someone with archives should dig up that CD thread. Or not. Good lord, the mountain of turbonerd bullshit surpassed Mt. Everest at record speed.

Here's a gif from a movie almost as good as Prometheus:

Moon Atari
Dec 26, 2010

Rapace and fassbender-head crash on another planet where they go through a higher budget, visually stunning, but ultimately less coherent version of the final sequence of space odyssey. They become God of their own universe, but as a dualistic occasionally adversarial occasionally lovers yin-yang type of a deal. Fassbender-head, granted the freedom to reproduce in a more meaningful way than even humanity could grant him, ends up switching away from his nihilistic views and becomes the life creating force. Rapace, driven mad by her quest for god, seeks to destroy their universe in the hope that cosmic death will deliver her to 'the real god'.

In their competing plans they end up creating life 'inspired by' the babyfaces, then black goo, and consequently mankind. Maybe the black goo is rapace's tears or their mingled blood or something. Still feuding with each other they accidentally seed the historical evidence that led to them discovering the Prometheus site in the first film, revealing to the audience that they were actually God of our universe all along and were responsible for their own creation ouroboros style. Seeing this allows them both to understand the other's position and they find taostic harmony.

It seems like you've got to be pretty dense to not realize the movie where the dudes smoke space weed in their space suits and one gets an alien death blowjob, where the religious girl gets a horrible space abortion or where, as mentioned beforehand, an aborted Cthulhu face rapes God to death is taking the piss.

Edit: Maybe it's because it's poo poo like a real movie whereas most humorous films look like they were shot by a glorified sitcom crew? Maybe it the soundtrack needed more slide whistle?

Turns out I was wayyyy too optimistic about my fellow nerds' taste in moopies.
