I remember something about the first PROMETHEUS draft having the Engineers force two men to have sex as they attempted to figure out the reproduction aspect of the newly created humans.

That's not from any draft of Prometheus that I know, but it is from an older and hosed up Alien comic that Xenomrph mentioned fairly often. I think that's where you got it from.

The world of Alien, according to Ridley Scott, is one of fluid sexuality. He assumes everyone boned everyone on the Nostromo. Ash didn't get a chance because he was a late addition.

There's an unused scene where Ripley and Lambert realize that neither of them have slept with Ash, and find it weird. It was meant as an early hint that he's a robot, but without context for the sexual culture Ridley imaged it just seemed weird and was dropped.

Wasn't that from a fake leaked script? I remember laughing out loud when I read that part:

*Engineers mind control the two men into having sex*

David Ayer and Max Landis? What could go wrong?

e. Also lol @ a trailer 3 weeks after they've finished shooting for a movie that's not out for another 11 months. Does Netflix even do audience testing? They don't give a poo poo about viewings, just content to sell more subscriptions, right?

Max Landis I'll give you but David Ayer rules, especially when he's in LA mode.

Their model's more complicated than that and is based on the insane amount of metadata it compiles about its consumers; you decide how you feel about that. Either way, Bright is a huge feather in Netflix's cap because it was written as a big tentpole movie that Ayer sold to them because he had no faith in traditional studios to let him make the movie he wanted to make (mid-budget urban fantasy with a hard R rating). This is their chance to show they can play with the really big boys, so expect them to push the poo poo out of this.

The sound editing was good, but the droning cover at the end was hilariously bad. Also I didn't like the attempt at comedy, the scene from the earlier trailer where he explains the name skull crawlers was better. Still not that funny though.

They butchered that Animals song, but the first half of the trailer was great, and Kong will be dope so whatever.

Isn't the new Kong movie supposed to be in the same universe as the most recent (American) Godzilla flick? Similarities in design probably aren't an accident.

This looks like a blast. Any other movie I might be worried that they blew all the best payoff scenes on the trailer, but somehow I don't think that'll be a problem here. Who did the Animals cover that they used in the trailer?
