I meant the fuckin biologist, upon discovering a never before seen, completely unknown alien creature, decides hes gonna try to pet it??? The biologist, the guy who should know better than anyone why this is a bad idea. Repeat ad nauseum umm what the gently caress other reaction to a cool alien snake is there than "pet it"?? this sounds like a personal problem of yours and not a problem with the film

people often tell me that there is a very good YouTube video where they use deleted scenes and directors commentary and cool ads and stuff from before the movie came out, this seems like a good thing to watch on my train ride home today, can someone who actually understands this movie like black bones or super mechanic Godzilla direct me to such a YouTube short video?

just lit up black & mild number two for the evening and hit "play" on prometheus, this thread inspired me to give it another shot. any interesting things i should be on the lookout for that i may have missed last time because i was high on pot? some notes off the bat - this is a pretty planet. is this old earth? i don't really see any life anywhere, just cool rocks and gorgeous waters. the Large man is sipping the goo. now he's all grody and falls into the water. is he where all life comes from? even small lifes like tiny fish, yorkshire terriers, earthworms, etc? or just homonids? his dna looks disgusting and now he's in pieces. more films need to start like this.

caves are cool (both literally and figuratively) so it was a good segue from that awesome opening. another Large man pointing upwards. is that a drawing of the first Large man we saw or did more of Them come later? how did the cave artists know about Large men? i hope the film tells me without being too obvious. i want to feel as though i figured some of this out on my own.

none of my dreams are pretty like that. honestly i'd be upset if a handsome robot watched my dreams. sometimes i have sex dreams about my friends. none of them are handsome robots so they never find out. so the handsome robot is being david bowie being peter otoole? or have i imagined the bowie because the handsome robot is handsome and aloof and mechanical, like david bowie?

thats a very tiny thing for vomiting. i guess they need to conserve space on a spaceship. its cool that no one knows each other. we get to know them as they get to know each other. vickers is like a principal. this is a cool choice. people fear and respect principals. weyland is a cool dobby. i like the makeup. it makes him seem weird and creepy and mysterious. vickers now seems more like a vice principal. this explains her awful, awful attitude

the edgy tattoo man is very intimidating. i almost wish i was a handsome robot so i wouldnt fear him. everyone is taking things pretty well, sleeping for so long and going so far away from home is kinda scary but i guess theyre ok with the mission.

the captain seems like a good man, like a man i'd be happy to follow like a captain. being a captain was a good choice for such a man. this moon is very pretty. very stormy though. i'd be nervous but with an elba in command i'd be willing to brave the storm.

the big structure is awesome. it makes me feel like that motley crue song 'kickstart my heart'. i would be very trembly and shook if i had to go in a structure like that. i think everyone's reactions are pretty normal, i don't know if i'd be all silly and howly like the scary tattoo man but he seems braver and more confident than me. his pups are v. cool

this is a very Sexy room. i can't see the mural very well though, but the very Large head and the weird metal shrine thingy was very sexy looking, like a futuristic pornographic image of a space vagina. i like when the handsome robot is sneaky. he's good at being sneaky and it fills me with excitement to see him be sneaky especially w/r/t the goo, i can tell something important and secret is going on

its a dangerous move on her part but braving such a ferocious storm is worth it if it means saving that Large head, shaw is motivated and i can understand that. there are things that motivate me, so if i pretend she is me and the things that motivate me are a Large head i am able to understand why her character says and does much of the things she says and does. it is unfortunate that the two fresh buddies are stuck in the structure. hopefully theyll have fun and bond with each other before being reunited with the rest of the crew but my memory of the last time i watched this movie tells me i might be wrong

goo snake is a lot like the face huggers only without any cool skeleton fingers. this reminds me of the alien movies. its sad that the fresh buds had to go, but it served a good purpose. it didn't just happen for no reason. it was important to see the goo snake and its acid blood, and that it goes into mouths. the biology bud kept calling it a she so i think thematically it was very important that "she" penetrated his face like a manly piston. it shows that things can be different or opposite from what you expected.

i wonder why they have so many of those goo canisters all piled up like bombs. some pretty creepy stuff. i like the handsome robot being sneaky again. the Large suits are very cool. JEEPERS! that snake was spooky! everythings goin to poo poo now. people are dead/dying! the handsome robot is in another Sexy room pressing on little white boobs and making Sexy labia chairs move around and do his bidding. he's just watching the Large holodeck and gleaning so much from the Large men and their actions. i like that they use a flute. it reminds me of a star trek. if i ever get a car again i'm gonna see if i can make the ignition flute powered its cool to see the handsome robot be so excitable and cheerful over the planetarium display. he got to hold a tiny earth. now that globes aren't popular anymore, people rarely get to do that. i'd be excited too.

tom hardy is hosed  vickers is a good vice principal. sometimes they have to make the tough calls so people don't hate the regular principal too much. poor shaw i yell and cry when i'm extremely sad. all of her actions are very logical and make sense. i'd even be ready to jump on a fire corpse just like her, if the fire corpse had previously been someone i loved. awww and now she has a gross thing in her uterus? and it's not even a normal baby??

the handsome robot is dropping dream bombs on a sedated shaw. rubbing salt in the wound. is he being a dick on purpose or is this one of those times where he's like data and doesn't get that it's a dick move to be like "lol didn't your dad die just like that only with less fire?"

its very sad that shaw always wanted to have a baby and instead she has an octopus. once again things are not as they seem and are in fact the opposite it looks really cool flopping around like an angry cat with multiple tails. it looks like something from a cool old alien movie and not a new silly movie

JEEPERS!!! space pothead comes back, all crablike and horrible, and unfolds himself to reveal a big menacing menace. he smashes heads like a macabre gallager fresh out of watermelons. and now post op shaw finds a terrible thing - an old dobby, only pretending to be dead, is hiding in a small hospital preparing to meet with the Large men and beg them for presents and gifts. he quivers with excitement, knowing that he'll be sitting on santa's lap very soon. he doesn't even listen to shaw's warning that only goo snakes and tail monsters await them. he wants to get his picture taken with santa soooo bad.

vickers goes to nuzzle the old dobby's hand but he makes a tiny weak fist. now we find out that he's her dada. again, the theme of this movie is "no, actually this" and this is another pivotal example. no, actually a fist. no, actually her dad. and now, "no, actually gently caress you" says the Large man to the wrinkly baby.

the Large man beats the small dobby to death with his robot son's head. now he's getting his ship ready. he's gonna go kill the earth?? sometimes after i wake up from surgery i'm really mean and grumpy, like way worse than usual, so i get why the Large man is feeling so angry. elba is a soothing professional and knows he must kamikaze himself to stop the Large man from taking out his grumpies on the earth and all the good people who live there. he is brave, as expected. i knew i was right to trust him. vickers is being sort of a jerk but its understandable that she doesn't want to die. she's gonna use her own cool mini-space ship section of the ship to escape, but the Large man's ship crushes her like a soda can under a bike tire. (<--- a great analogy btw) shaw barely escapes being crushed herself and makes it to the tiny fancy ship, where she can play a piano or drink vodka or read one of the many books on the ground. but she's not alone. her squid baby has become really, really big. it seems secured behind the space doors, but whats this?? a Large man???!? her octopus must know who his mom is, because he grabs onto that Large man and threatens him with many big gross tentacles and a bunch of strongly vaginal mouth holes. then shaw's kid does that cool inner protruding mouth thing like the aliens do in aliens and stabs that Large guy right in his dumb loving baby face. penetration is important, says ridley scott. yes it is, i respond.

the handsome head chats with shaw a bit about how to gtfo. she goes back to the Large mens ship wreckage and retrieves his handsome head so he can help her escape. but she doesn't want to go to earth. she wants to go to LargeWorld. shaw came here for answers and paid with so much. like she says, she deserves to know why. the robot head doesnt get it, but he's willing to go with her flow. shaw puts his head in a bag and gets in a dune buggy. they jump into another Large ship (there were more of them, which is cool, but apparently there aren't any Large corpses or goo snakes which makes me sad) and awaaay they gooooo!!!!! in a cool scene right at the end, a thing bursts out of the Large man that got hosed by shaw's kid (who apparently was also a sort of face hugger as we now know). its basically an alien but pointier and slicker and less like a penis. this was a good scene and makes me glad i didn't fall asleep yet. this was a really good movie and it really made me consider how sometimes i think or expect one thing and something different or opposite happens. this is a common experience to everyone and something we can all relate to. very powerful movie. anyone who doesn't like it maybe should watch it again and think about how confusing life can be and try to put yourself in shaw's shoes and you'll get that this is compelling and very cool.
