Iambaytor Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Prometheus. crap. Been thinking about it all day. Man this movie had SO much potential, and there's a lot there to like....so much of it was just SOOOOO poorly executed. In retrospect, given that it's Ridley Scott this was no surprise.

Panch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Prometheus. "So much potential" is about right. Still, the final 15, 20 minutes of the movie are worth the price of admission. Maybe. Depends how much the first hour and forty, forty-five minutes bored you. Man, the concept is brilliant. Just poor delivery. I think. I haven't decided yet :/ Edited June 9, 2012 by Panch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Prometheus........I thought it came out exactly how I imagined it would. Just a little more spacey! DVD movie! Edited June 9, 2012 by Cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Question: I have no intentions on seeing it whatsoever, but just want to know are there 'aliens' in it? Spoil, spoil, spoil to you hearts content. In answer to TT's question: nested spoiler just in case. you have been warned!! There is a 'post credits' scene with a kinda 'proto-xenomorph' reveal, the lineage of which is EXTREMELY convoluted. It's just a tease after the resolution of the film, and didn't really have anything to do with the film. Here ya go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfire Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This is in theater now or can I find a decent torrent? I want to say I saw a trailer of this in the trailers thread. It's an HK movie, right? (He's talking about The Raid for those that don't know) Indonesian. It features their native martial art which makes Thai boxing look like a tickling contest. There's a bajillion torrents. It was made in the leaky bucket that is the Asian film industry. It was made two years ago but was so good it got picked up on the festival circuit for western distribution. I'm writing you one Raid prescription for your chronic deficiency of seeing people getting smacked around. See Dr. DoJ for your medication.

the division of joy Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Only copies I can find of the raid are cam copies with awful sub-jobs. I don't deal in Tijuana standard products, sir or madam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The Raid: Redemption DOJ might be exaggerating a tad w/ the fatherfucking claims, but it was a damn good modern martial arts film. I found a Korean DVD rip, but the translation must've been done by a one-eyed drunken halfwit b/c the subtitles were shit. Thankfully though this type of flick doesn't really do much w/ plot. I do have one question for the lads though: Why did the old cop shoot the other cop when he captured the big boss? From what I could gather the big boss was laying out the whole plan on the stairs and it had something to do w/ old cop thinking he would be promoted for capturing the big boss alive, but in reality he'd never be promoted and killed in his sleep. Still not understanding why he shot the other cop and tried to kill himself. And why was the raid actually ordered anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 On the contrary...I'm bored at home while he's working (he's still out there, btw) and it was playing on TV...it killed 2 hours of my time...what can I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 All you Prometheus haters meet me in the relevant thread behind the bike shed at half-three. We gon' duke All I had to expect from it was that is was 'same universe as Aliens franchise but nothing to do with'. Spoiler relates to whether or not this is the case The whole movie was clearly about the xenomorphs and their origins. Any gripes you have or things you evidently didn'y understand, I'll happily and smugly answer your questions . I loved the motherfucker. Were it not for the Avengers, this would be 2012's finest movie offering for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aartemys Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I really need to see The Love Shack. Only if you're entertained by farcical movies like "Best in Show" or "A Mighty Wind". The most you will see is maybe a boob or two, and I'm not even sure about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It was okay. Hans Landa didn't really do much, John C. Reilly was solid as usual, Jodie Foster was annoyingly lesbonic and Kate Winslet didn't get them out for the lads. I wouldn't recommend it.
