Prometheus was GREAT. It just wasn’t an “Alien” movie. Or, rather, wasn’t “Alieny” enough. As an epic, intelligent interstellar sci-fi horror flick, it was fucking awesome. I’m pretty sure I like it more than every Alien movie aside from the original. Certainly makes Avatar look like a goddamn romp through bullshit dumbass fuckland. |

You’re making a stand against fucking foreshadowing? Sometimes you take your self-appointed “instigator” role too seriously. “Man I hate it when something is put into a story to move the plot forward. It totally ruined literally every book, play, movie and television show in the history of the world for me.” |

not talking about foreshadowing. Talking about contrived plotting. two different things. Prometheus is full of stupid characters, who are supposed to be highly expert exobiologists and scientists, who follow NO scientific protocol, who touch gooey shit with their bare hands like fucking 6th graders in science class, who fail to take any normal, standard, scientific precautions, and that stupid fucking c-section machine was so fucking DUMB. so fucking DUMB> and the main plot contrivance of that stupid fucking totemic pale white man creating all of humanity? fucking jesus you guys really like that shit? You guys really bought into that fucking unequivocal nonsense? that movie was one big fuck you to anyone with any intelligence, and a giant fuck you to Giger and to any Alien fans and fuck that shit movie. what a stupid fucking retread piece of TRASH.

Fuck that movie and fuck you! That was harsh, sorry. But there’s foreshadowing all over Godfather. In every movie. What you’re REALLY saying is that you don’t like it when it’s obvious and hamfisteed. Plot devices are part of plots. They’re in every plot. You think the machine in Prometheus is hamfisted, but it woks. That’s the last thing that should ruin that movie for you. Pfff. |

Funny you mention J. Peterman. That cake he innocuously purchased from Queen Vicotia’s wedding or whatever? Elaine later ate it and got diarrhea. Plot device. GARBAGE!!! |

I don't care if Rob hates a movie I like but the reasoning is hilarious.

Oh, bingo! Ultimate cinematic plot device. Citizen Kane is shit. You heard it here first. New rule: Things can only appear in movies, book, plays, etc. during their moments of peak significance, and otherwise must be removed from the story altogether so that peak significance no longer exists. We’re learning how to make art the Rob way. This is important. |
