Those darned foreign people keep getting all the new trailers! Today it's Prometheus, which features a bit of new footage... I assume? Honestly, I have no idea; I'm not that into Prometheus, and I barely remember the first trailer, and besides, Todd Ciolek did such a great job breaking down the original trailer that I'd only shame myself (more than usual) by trying to figure out something to say here. I'm just going to leave this here, and if someone sees something interesting please feel free to point it out in the comments. (Via Twitch)

Stop complaining everyone. We are ALL going to see this movie no matter what, even at $45 a ticket, even with ridiculous 3D glasses, and even if we have to drag our unsympathetic and angry girlfriends and wives along. And guess what? After we all see it, we're going to see it over and over again on blu-ray and DVD, even if it is a total turd. You know why? Because we are not men; WE ARE NERDS.

sorry double post
-
Wtf who got their Neo StarTrek in my Aliens?!?!
-
These three movies are not as good or memorable of influencial as "Alien" and "Blade Runner".
-
Yeah, Black Hawk Down and Gladiator were complete shit. I forgot. Oh and Kingdom of Heaven was not thought provoking at all (especially the director's cut). *end sarcasm*
-
That was "Aliens: Genocide". It is the homeworld (supposedly), or it could just be another world where the Xenomorph became the dominant species. The comic is very vague in that respect.
-
Maybe the history will repeat ? 1979 : Alien : best film ever made 1982 : Blade runner : awesome [...] : variable 2012 : Prometheus (or Alien 4, or Alien 0 ?) : 2nd best film ever made ? 2015 : Harrisoneus (or Blade runner 2 or Blade runner 0, who care) : awesome ? (without harrison ford in a fridge)
-
see that's where I'm having trouble deciding whether or not I like the idea of the Aliens being a bio-weapon unless we don't count AVP as canon but it seems they tried so hard to wiggle themselves into it w/the mention of Weyland-Yutani in both movies
-
Also, I can't remember all of the details but there was a comic that showed an Alien planet where there were different races (blue and red). Each race would battle each other like different ant colonies. I not sure if this was the Alien "Home World" though.
-
I wonder if they would ignore the first Aliens vs Predator where chronologically the Predators had Aliens and hatched them from early humans?
-
I heard the Jar Jar Binks alien is <em>adorable</em>.
-
O hai thar Inception BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHMG. Haven't seen ya in a couple of weeks.
-
"natural selection has provided most of the great monsters already" -> The most terrifying monsters had been created by humans : Hanibal Lecter, Jar-jar-bink, the human -centipede and Disney
-
Seriously. This has to be one of the coolest looking sci-fi movies of the decade and all Rob can do is waste time bitching about Transformers 47: The Dark of Bay's A$$ and that Ghostbusters 3 will never get made. YES, Avengers will be cool, but how about showing other flicks some love?

<nerdrage excitement mode on> Scott you mo********er you have teased me too much, so if this film sucks i am going to jump through all the biometric hoops it takes to get me to the USA so that i can personally feck you in the face while shouting "how's that for a facehugger you C*NT" <nerdrage excitement mode off/>

Yo Dawg, we heard you like ads, so we put an ad in front of your ad, so you can watch an ad before you watch an ad!
-
Finally, somebody gets it!!!!! It is even worse when a YouTube video that is 20 sec long has a 1 min commercial
-
Why? Name one recent -quel that has been better than 'moderately good'. I hate crap prequels more than crap sequels. Alien Reusrrection I can dismiss, but I don't like the original mysteries of a film's mythos being spoiled. It taints the whole series. Eg: In the 1982 Thing, it was IMPLIED that what went on at the noreweigian station was fucking mostrous, and the fact that the events where not spelled out made it a lot scarier than the recent halfwitted prequel, whcih ruined everything by incompetently showing it. I hate that the Aliens are made by people... I always imagined thay were some distant natural predator, like far nastier tigers or dinosaurs - natural selection has provided most of the great monsters already.
-
Because it's Ridley Scott, who hasn't done anything of merit for quite a long time. Unless you count ruining the mystique of Blade Runner.
-
What's with all the sniping? Everyone should be bowing at this like no tomorrow...or at least be moderately excited.
-
Michale Bay's trailer horn sound effect is the new Wilhem Scream...
-
What I want to know is, what jackass puts a 30 second ad on a 1 minute trailer?
-
I've always assumed that the Aliens were some type of alien created bio-weapons. The Space Jockey's ship was a bomber that would drop Alien eggs over an enemy planet/settlement.
-
I liked it better when it was called Dead Space....and before that, Alien. I'm just not getting the vibe that makes me want to see this movie. Alien made me want to see it, Dead Space made want to play it. It just doesn't have that creep factor in the trailers to make me wish to see it. All I see is a loud and pretentious movie that is trying to capture lightning in a bottle again. It won't stop me from taking a gander as it gets closer to release, but right now, it's just...unfulfilling
-
It's actually less footage than the original trailer.
-
I see what you did there, Rob. Being all literary and stuff.
-
Nothing new here this is the same trailer that was released before when they where doing teasers leading up to it.
-
seeing the space jockey gun emerge was just awesome and w/e Fassbender has in has can be a early prototype of the alien egg. although I'm a little upset to know that the Aliens were created and not just apart of the universal threat.
-
I just want it to not spoil Alien. Though that has kinda been done already.
-
A prequel from the franchise's original director starring Michael fassbender? Yeah I can see why you don't give a crap....
-
Well, I for one noticed the gloriously cut jawline of Michael 'Fucking' Fassbender. Good God, I love Bale, but how is that man not Batman?
-
I thought Firefly class ships... *BREEERRR* only had... *BREEERRR* two engines?
-
Its a riff on the original alien trailer. that is just a tiny bit older than those 2 movies.
-
My girlfriend can't get me to shut up about this movie. I can't get my head around the fact that some people just don't care. I think I retroactively made her hate Alien because of my excitement :(
-
Hey, it's that same sound that's in the Transformers and Battleship trailers! Because that's what I like to be reminded of when I watch the trailer for a sci-fi action movie that I thought might actually be good!
-
How could you not be into Prometheus?
