Three Avatar sequels? I'm vomiting. The last one will be 4 hours of explosions and cock-sure fly-bys. :oops:

Not sure if I'm thinking of the right movie, but I think Cameron's production compAny is solely devoted to multiple avayar sequels.
It's more of an ongoing series

the original director left the project in mid production because the studio didn't wanted to realise his "wooden planet" idea (yes you heard right a planet with a wooden core ... or something like that).

Haha, holy fuck. A wooden core? I'm sure they were sorry to see him go!

That wasn't a wooden planet - just a wooden satellite

Alien 3: The Lost Tale Of The Wooden Planet

you can read more about it here. But there is plenty of informations about it available.
 
Meh I actually like the concept of it. Ofcourse it wouldn't be scientifically correct but who really gives a shit if it is delivered well. Ofcourse doesn't fit in an Alien movie though.
 
well then why do you create a paradoxon?

Its ok if done well. But it does not fitt the alien universe ... which makes it ... not ok then :eyebrow:

which was the point of it to begin with :p
 
I simply meant to say that I wouldnt mind a movie/game/book putting up the idea of such a "wooden planet". That is all. :P
 
I think if I was making something like that I'd opt for something more like a creamy caramel center

I'm sure that's true, but it doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg of all the things that have to happen for a movie to not suck.

DammitBoy what do you think of Woody Allen as a film maker?
Click to expand...

I'd like to punch him in his pretentious little mouth. Loath his films and those that emulate his style.
 
The funny thing is that most of the people who emulate Woody Allen's style do it better than he does. I like some of his early movies (Sleeper and Bananas, for example), but it's been decades since he did anything that good (Midnight in Paris included -- so damn average).
 
Saw Prometheus yesterday, and man is it full of facepalming. Lots have been covered already, but I'll just pick one of the most retarded ones.

So blind faith girl believes in an abrahamic god, but also thinks we were created by aliens. No one in the movie thinks this conflicts. Maybe that's just par for the course with religious people? It gets better when they find that head, and they "scan the DNA" and find it matches with human DNA, and from that they draw the conclusion that these are our creators. No, you fucking dimwits, that means we are the same species. But considering they had proof, blind faith weak ripley substitute sees this as an affirmation of her faith and swings her cross around. Why? Why do people think it's more satisfying having been created by a 12 feet tall race of slimey murdering cocksuckers or a god than by an elegant natural phenomenon for that matter. I die.

Science and the scientific process is also treated in a childlike fashion, with one of the lead "scientists" only accepting hard answers straight from these would be makers as any relevant finding. So lazy.

And then, when the one surviving white man group member's first action after being awoken is to murder everything that resembles a human, this retard still wants to search for more of them and ask them questions. Yeah, that worked out great. Ripley would be on her way to their planet with one of those stockpiles of black magic goo to set up them the bomb right now.

I mean, this move was great visually, it was fairly exciting at times except almost all the tense sequences fealt borrowed from a previous incarnation of Alien. But I don't think I went 5 minutes without having my intelligenece insuletd. At least it wasn't quite as dumb as Resurrection.
 
WE WARNED YOU.

You've always been such a rebel DG, always stickin' it to the people who give you good advice.

Let's try a new approach:

Hey, DG! You should totally play Mass Effect 3. Awesome game.
 
I didn't read this thread because I didn't want spoilers, but I was still warned by friends. I wanted to see for myself, anyway.

Also, Noomi Rapace has like two facial expressions, one of which is a blank stare with her mouth hanging open like there's nothing going on in there at all. She can't even run and appear to be in pain at the same time, that scene when she tries to run from the med-pod is hilarious. Run! Stop and look like you're in pain! Start running! STOP! OW! Ok, let's run five more steps.

Vickers and David were much better imo.

While I somewhat agree with you, but I think that question is once asked by some of the characters. How someone can still believe in a god with "aliens" which created us. Well the answer to the qeustion was like "who made them?".

Aliens for it self are not necessarily contradicting a "god" per se. Except you believe in the idea of creation that men was the peak/focus of evolution which is of course bullshit.

The simple faith in some form of deity is not contradicted by the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Yeah, that shit always annoys me too. To be fair though, I so far haven't seen a single movie/television show/comic book/video game/whatever where they DIDN'T get that wrong. I guess there's simply not a single person in the entertainment industry that understand how evolution works and WHY it works the way it does.
 
all that faith stuff just got shoehorned in there by the lost guy.
he's got years of material to recycle.

maybe in the sequel she'll go to this planet and meet the others.

I agree. Why can't more people grasp that concept?

maybe that is the case, but I am curious is the possibility of a faithfull scientist that unlikely? I mean are the characters in Prometheus die hard catholics? Or do they just "believe".
