Prometheus may really be a story about a girl looking for her biological dad blown up to a half-baked science fiction prequel to a classic.

I thought it was about space Jesus.

Prometheus was actually a remake of the first X-Files movie.

I am not kidding.

 

The number of 'hommages' from this film in Prometheus is mystifying.

I kinda love the fist Xfiles movies.

Didn't even watch the show.

You've inspired me...I'm watching it now.

FIGHT THE FUTURE.

[The Futurist]

The first X Files movie was great.

 

And it was a VERY rare thing ( I am not even sure it happened before or after), a big studio movie that was made DURING the show s airings & that was canon and a big part of the show s mythology.

 

It was basically a BIG mythology episode.

Ugh. You are so insufferable.

[BoxOfficeZ]

There's a screening next Tuesday evening, looking forward to it after the rather tepid few weeks so far. 

[Hatebox]

Wow, Scott actually came good on this. I always wish him the best, so that's a relief.

[Asyulus]

Luckily, Scott was able to recover from this movie after controversial Exodus.

[Ozymandias]

Rotten tomatoes guides life. May the spirit of the Great Tomato be with you.

APOCALYPSE's trailer is rumored to be attached.

[Mango]

Can't wait for this. After I read the book my roommates read it and loved it too. If the film is as faithful as it seems to be I can definitely see a big crowd pleaser here.

Exodus wasn't controversial. You're thinking of Noah. 

[BoxOfficeFangrl]

Exodus wasn't controversial. You're thinking of Noah.

They both had their detractors; Exodus was called out for the ridiculous spray paint job on Edgerton and relegating the Middle Eastern actors mostly to background roles. Ridley's response to the flap hardly helped the movie's case.

I don't know if the public is going into this expecting some big Oscar movie, so "merely" being an entertaining thrill ride may just be enough.

yep dont think any oscars for it in the main categories. maybe a nom

[Ethan Hunt]

But who gives a fuck about the Oscars anyways?

[Avatree]

Exodus wasn't controversial. You're thinking of Noah. 

there was a fair amount of controversy surrounding Exodus's casting; Noah's controversy was regarding its adaptation of the source material.
