i didn't like prometheus very much either

I saw Prometheus recently as well, I never caught it in theaters because it seemed so divisive with fans. Having seen it now I can understand how some could love it, and some could hate it for what it is. I certainly don't want to give anything away, all the online movie people I check out were purposely vague about how this movie connects with the "Alien" series, so I feel like I should respect that for those who haven't seen it.

Promethueus made no sense.

Or I'm stupid.

Who was the guy at the beginning? Was that Earth? Why did the spacecraft leave a poison on the side of a cliff? Or did it? What the fuck??

Already I was lost. After a while I forgot about the "plot" and just wanted to see monsters eat up humans.

That self-surgery scene was fucking awesome, however.

I think it was a good film so ner.

I believe the idea was that these scientists believed that the origin of man was extra-terristial. The alien in the beginning was a Titan, like Prometheus, who sacrificed himself for the creation of humans.

I enjoyed the look of it but the way the "scientists" behaved was not up to r. Scott's usual diligence. No way does any educated person, much less a scientist, takes off a helmet in an alien environment, regardless of oxygen levels.

Machete

I definitely prefer Robert Rodriguez over Tarantino at this kind of thing.

Machete would have been good cut to a 1 hour show

Yeah, I looked at the clock about half way in and thought, I'm enjoying this but does it really need another 50 odd minutes? A lot of it definitely felt like padding.

lol have you guys heard of this david lynch guy i hear he's pretty wild!!

you mean he's pretty wild at heart, yes? yes? yes?

Silent Hill: Revelations.

Meh

The scene where the woman in the hospital screams scared the living shit out of me when I saw it as a kid. (I'm thinking about the right film I hope.)

i finally watched star trek first contact, i.e, picard vs. the borg battle again. not bad! not bad at all. i mean if you're a star trek fan and get into the whole bullshit and forgive the bad acting of some minor characters. i am/ i do. funnn!!! probably the best star trek movie i've seen outside of the jj abrams one.



^^ fine, asshole, i'll "save pics" bla bla bla

the borg queen was fucking great!

anyway another hotlink:

Watched these over the past couple of days



Mad Max

Brilliant! Can't wait for Fury Road.



Hobo With a Shotgun

Good fun homage to the kinds of 80s exploitation action movies I used to be so addicted to as a teen.



Bad Ass

This is great. I've been hoping for a 'new Charles Bronson' for ages and Danny Trejo seems to fit the bill perfectly.

the original bad lieutenant...that baby sent me reeling.

oh! that was very good...

That's such an underrated movie, I think.
