I don’t know about Damon, but I would be quite flattered if someone on the internet told me, “You is fucking moron.”
That pretty much sums it up right there.
“you is” ? lol
You wrote:
“lindelof is fucking moron”
There are three grammatically things wrong with that. “You is fucking moron” only has ONE grammatically thing wrong with it, so I was being nice.
Yeah. Sure. The “smart” guy in this conversation is wearing a tie. Sure.
Shitty shitty cliched script. Mess of what should have been a great movie.
lol I loved the sound-in-the-attic segway
Damon Lindelof wrote a horrible script.He destroyed Prometheus!
What people don’t know is Prometheus is really a snuff film. The series was heading into some real bullshit (AvP) but OH GOD.… douchebag Lindelof took the already dying corpse of a series, strangled it by the balls, set it on fire, pissed the fire out, face raped it (like the squid thing did to the giant pale dude), then shit all over its remains. And Ridley Scott filmed it. Now he’s working on Star Trek.
Fuck you Lindelof.…like seriously fuck you man
prometheus is better the more you watch it. i guess if you dont like it it’s because you like everything spelt out for you. i like mystery i dont want to know every little detail, i want to put my own view into the film. slaging someone off for writing something that makes you think is stupid. go and watch avatar or something. so poontang i say fuck you u horrid probably fat nerd. like seriously fuck you
Sigh. I’m not gonna waste my time here so let me use one simple example why I think Prometheus is a bad movie to me. A scientist decides to stick his face into an alien/penisvagina/snake and pet it. The question I had after seeing that is — why are the characters in this film so retarded? There are MANY more examples of stupidity in the script but I’ll leave it at that.
And btw I’m 5–9″ and I weigh 155 lbs. I admit that I have nerdy tendencies tho, but hey I can live with that.
Peace out.
Check out the original script written by John Spaihts, its much much better than what we saw, there were facehuggers and eggs which could have been changed a little bit to stay fresh but the Engineer technology was incredibly creative all the creatures were much better and the characters too
Facepalm.
No, it’s because the characters act illogically and obviously olnly in service of getting to the next big ‘concept’ or special fx, It’s because important situations are set up, cheaply played out and then never mentioned again. It’s because things just happen rather than being a part of a consistent, linked series of events.
I’m all for mystery and ambiguity but you’ve got to respect your audience to pull that off and this film f*cking didn;t.
David Lindelof is a genius? Are you fucking high? he is the worst writer in Hollywood.
And somehow I get 38 thumbs up, and you can’t even capitalize a comment on youtube correctly. Doofus.
It means you aren’t very bright and take a modicum of inner satisfaction disparaging the work of others–others who are far brighter than you.
Is everyone stupid and thick? Lindelof script leave the door open for OTHER films which means we get more films on the whole alien franchise whereas if the original script was kept there would be no more films. Simples
I wasn’t correcting your grammar, as you are a hopeless case. I was simply pointing out that criticism from you is ludicrous given you can’t even string a coherent sentence together on youtube.
Why would I correct PEOPLE’S grammar on youtube? PEOPLE’S grammar!
And no, that’s not a correction. Once again just pointing out you are not competent to get to the evaluation stage of Bloom’s Taxonomy, much less the Creative stage. Please stop criticizing your betters and listen. You might learn.
One of us has 40+ thumbs up. The other…does not.
It was a donkey wheel, and yes.
If you would like me to explain, the wheel was symbolic of a Wheel of Fortune (look it up; NOT the game show). After Ben turned the wheel, fates shifted for the better and for the worse.
The fact that they would write a show with such depth that would be, well, LOST on 95% of the audience is amazing. It obviously worked on a lower level as well, but the erudition alone was awe inspiring…if you are erudite enough to recognize it, which you apparently are not.
Damon Lindelof is cool. I love Prometheus, despite the illogical/irrational moments in the story.
Now that I know damon’s influences include stephen king i understand why the endings to his movies and shows suck so bad. Neither of them can end a story to save their lives.
This man ruined Prometheus. How, HOW does he get a job writing anything?
“If there’s a sequel to Prometheus, it is not about the things Alien is about”.
How ironic.
the interviewer talk too much
Why arent you asking the original writer LMAO.
Here we are nearly a decade later, Prometheus was rather decisive, wonder if its gained a cult following.
12:30 although i did enjoy alien covenant , We need a a movie about the engineers.
Inqish they had 100% produced the engineer scenes in the script. It was mindblowing.
