  4. God, I love J.J. Abrams. He just gets it. ow.ly/bfzfE J.J. Abrams Mystery Box on #TEDtalks.
  5. @rosspruden Hahaha, just watched the fake TED talk for Prometheus. I'm still oddly uncompelled. But then, I grow so tired of god complexes.
  6. @rosspruden As for Inception, there's so much to say. And I feel like a crank when I say it so I largely don't. :P
  7. @rosspruden I'm trying to think of another sci-fi villain/monster that comes close in elegance and economy of violence. Maybe Terminator 2.
  8. @rosspruden ...and I do playback for a living, so I feel bizarrely sensitive to all that. But I mean, the art and horror of the Alien...
  9. @rosspruden The thing about the FX in Alien is that they're gritty and perfectly suited to the story. The FX feel integrated, motivated...
  10. @rosspruden Hmm... so, it's a kind of Alien reboot? What's mind-bending about the storyline? Literally all I've seen is the trailer.

  12. So if the trailer for Prometheus has led me astray, lemme know. #alreadydisappointed #hatedInceptiontoo
  13. But from the buzz I've been hearing about Prometheus, I was hoping for something... new, honestly. Not so clearly derivative from the start.
  14. I mean, Alien is one of the best movies ever made, and will always be a hard act to follow in the sci-fi/action genre. #dareyoutodobetter
  15. Question: can somebody explain to me the charm of Prometheus? I saw the trailer yesterday, and felt like I was watching an Alien remake.
