Most, if not all, people who criticized Prometheus for its alleged lapses of logic have simply misunderstood and misinterpreted the seemingly irrational behavior of some of the characters. I'm well aware of all the criticisms and complaints concerning the film's absurdities and intolerable inconsistencies and I can

I'd let you slide if you said "Bananas." Not because it's a reasonable choice for a favorite Woody Allen film, but because it's always funny to say the word "Bananas."

Me think all that Cookie sugar might be making Blue Fuzzy Monster overly hyper. I believe what we have here is a failure to communicate. Typing words into the ether is a poor substitute for sitting face to face with another human where it's much more unlikely that you'd be mislead or mistaken by a superficially

Oh yes, I now realize that my appreciation and enjoyment of the intense visceral sensation imparted by the podrace is entirely unwarranted. I have erred with my naive, uninformed appraisal of that particular cinematic amusement which is contained within an otherwise disastrous fantasy film. How could I have been so

I am genuinely pleased to have prompted your profound and fruitful exploration of your long repressed Star Wars prequel induced trauma. It's never a pretty experience to revisit nasty, ugly episodes from our past and so I applaud your brave choice to undertake such a potentially mind shattering self analysis in such a

Eraserhead took 5 years and that was allowing for all the elaborate, spectacular visual effects, such as the gurgling mutant pod creature baby.

To be fair, either of those two musical abortions would have accidentally crapped out better films than what Lucas spewed on us.

But today you can have one of those nifty bionic nuclear laser weenies attached.

Oh no, I couldn't disagree more. Seeing it in a quality theater with the THX system made that sequence a total rush. On a smaller screen with inferior sound, yes, it's repetitive and overlong, but when it envelopes you aurally and visually it's thrilling. What probably soured it for you was enduring the rest of the

Episode I had the awesome Pod Race which nearly trumped the rest of the whole awful film, including that "scintillating" lecture on the inequities of Trade Federation Taxation.

"Game over, man!"

Personally, I think he should have broken his 3 chapters of LOTR into 2 films each for a total of 6 films. Same for The Hobbit. I kept missing half the action being so distracted by the intense, dense, fantastic visuals. Felt like riding a bullet train though the Amazon jungle.

re The Star Wars Holiday Special: Space Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Was Linda Hunt ever a librarian, because if so then yes, librarians can be sexy.

So, I assume that you have not yet faced the fact that you are the wrongest.

"I've seen your kind before, you good time Charlies, just out for cheap thrills and a quick read."

They actually provide you the text.

"Just when you thought it was safe to again go hunting wily white whales."

And your opinion of my opinion is wronger.

JJ Abrams has done a few decent things so far but casting that dull, lifeless actor, Karl Urban, as Bones is just a tragically inept fiasco. That lumbering clod ruined the film for me because Bones is supposed to be the heart and soul - the perfect emotional antithesis to Spock - but that Urban hack is a near comatose
