I do not avoid women, but I do deny them my essence.

i thought vasquez and gorman blow themselves up w a hand grenade in the ventilation shafts after being surrounded

Vasquez kills one at close range with a handgun, spraying her with acid and Gorman goes back to help her.

Acid is pretty much what kills Vasquez, and also Gorman if you count it.

Hudson gets sprayed with Acid too.

Drake is killed with acid when they are getting into the APC.

is it legit possible for an living creature to have acid for blood? like could a creature theoretically have an internal structure to have it?

Probably not. Which is why people assume the Alien is a living weapon, not so much a purely organic being.

Ask me about running my country straight into the ground every time I play EU4 multiplayer.
One thing I'm sad about is the fact we never got Giger to go whole hog with his ideas. We all love Cameron's ant inspired hive and queen idea but originally Giger had this loving thing as the Queen.


Something like this would be rad to see onscreen, everything about just seems wrong and completely alien, as it should be, ants are cool and all but something we are very famliar with. Oh and those weird blob faces you see? In the first film the xeno originally loving melted the captured crewmen slowly alive into eggs.

Are there any good Alien based horror movies besides the Alien and Predator Series and The Thing? I find Aliens scary and fascinating but I'm not really interested in ~greys abducted me~~~~ stuff.

Lifeforce is a great alien movie. Space vampire aliens that are also beautiful nude women, but still aliens.

That part where Drake says "Oh Vasquez, you're just too bad" makes me think he wishes she had a penis that he could deepthroat hard.

I have known well-trained, well educated people in science fields who have made some stupid mistakes/decisions. Sometimes just on accident or thoughtlessly and sometimes because they were in stressful high pressure situations. I am sure there are a handful of blogs and tumblrs which collect such tales. These things definitely happen. What happens in Prometheus is just too much of that kind of thing, it's hard to suspend you're disbelief that everyone could be that grossly unprofessional/incompetent. I guess we just have to accept that they are though because that's what we got. Prometheus is just the perfect storm of the worst people at their jobs doing the worst things.

Perhaps we could extend the implications that the glut of people who seem to have no idea how to really do their jobs in prominent positions in their fields and industries to make assumptions on the state of the universe at large. Maybe there are just some huge systematic problems that have cropped up in this very corporatized future.

Perhaps the influence of Legacy lines in powerful educational institutions and the extensive level of inner dealings and close relationships among the business elite lead to these rich powerful folks lifting their inexperienced and hyper privileged offspring into these positions. Bullying them through the education system even as they didn't learn or pay attention to their professors. (What if the educators themselves are also pampered rich kids?) Leading to them not knowing poo poo about what they were doing. Perhaps this kind of gross nepotism is just so ripe throughout the universe now that Prometheus is just the inevitable outcome.

The future is coming.

Lowtax banned me because he thought I was trolling by acting really stupid. I wasn't acting.

I know right? There is no way anyone involved in Prometheus actually intended this but it makes perfect sense.

I'm sure my check is in the mail.

probably, but at that point i was an intense loyalist to The Lion King and everything else in the disney catalogue was a movie for girls.



I was basically too young to know the difference between a good movie and a lovely movie, so it wasnt that bad.

Pretty much the only thing I hate about Alien is the terrible looking jump cut between Ash's severed head prop into Ian Holm's real head. It should've cut away somewhere between those shots to another character, instead it's anything but seamless. Otherwise it's the quintessential space horror for me.

In the 90's there was a local guerilla tv station that hooked up to the tv cable somehow that would show movies you normally had to get from a video rental and there was no way a legal tv station could show these. They had some insane programming and my first ever viewing of the Alien series was the entire trilogy in a row on one evening. It was quite a ride, I loved it.

I also throw up at the sight of blue cheese but that's because it is disgusting.

Seriously just utterly nasty.

I heard they used tapioca for the android blood?
