I have heard of suspension of disbelief. Which is why Prometheus doesn't work. It is the foundation of Prometheus's failing. Its complete and utter inability to suspend disbelief.

I want to like this, but I also want to downvote it. The stupid behavior in Prometheus was so unbelievably unnecessary and ripped me out of the movie. I'm more than willing to gloss over a plot hole or twelve if the pacing, tone, characterization, and remaining plot are compelling, but drama borne of people acting…

I'm curious on your source of "almost always" re: beef carbonnade being made with "brown ale" as recipes seem wildly split and when I was in Belgium the most common version I encountered was made with lambic (although that probably had much to do with the type of places I was visiting). Dubbels and quads are often…

I've seen The Crow: City of Angels. I saw it as a 16 year old. I saw it as a fan of The Crow. The Crow: City of Angels was not overlooked. It is dreck. It is poorly written, acted, directed, edited, etc. If you want to put it on at some hipster bar so we can appreciate the visuals and we can all practice detached…

Man, if only there was a third choice other than darkergrimmer and Marvelcopy. Too bad filmmakers have literally no other options.

I can see why human beings might be able to contort the meaning of that cave painting in their minds to be: "invitation." And to necessarily assume that a primitive people's encounter with alien people wouldn't just SEEM god-like but would actually BE god-like. And that god-like beings are likely to both be alive AND…

No, there was no rationale explanation for the aliens still being there, and as someone who literally dedicated his life to archeological exploration there is SO MUCH MORE THAN ANY OTHER ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE, EVER, to uncover and discover and learn about this civilization, his behavior makes literally no sense.

This is an excellent summary of the entire list of good things about this movie in their totality.

Because the movie prominently featured an archeologist (an archeologist, mind you) who travels to an alien world and makes the biggest archeological discovery in history and, instead of being excited about this, is bummed they haven't just bumbled into a thriving civilization that they can't…I can't even…it's so…

This is incorrect. In retrospect, The Phantom Menace trailer has signs of the crap that is to come and reminds me never to watch it again. The Prometheus trailer is so good it makes me want to watch the movie again and hope that it changed somehow.

well that wouldn't work. If you rolled a "1" you'd get a "0" which isn't a valid number on a hypothetical d3. To roll d3, you roll a d6, divide by 2, and round up. so 5/6=3, 4/3=2, 2/1=1.

No. That scene carries no relevance. They spent the previous scene (literally, the previous scene) establishing that Han owed money to Jabba the Hutt, much more effectively. The scene with Jabba does nothing that the previous scene doesn't, only it does it more poorly. It is a bad and useless scene that also looks…

The short answer is no (even if yes is the correct answer).

Finland! The country where I quite want to be, eating breakfast or dinner, or snack lunch in the hall

Arcade Fire albums, ranked:

See for me Normal Person (what a godawful riff) is the filler (along with the Here Comes the Nighttime Reprise) that could have been cut. End when Supersymmetry properly ends and you can probably squeeze the rest of the album onto one super long LP.

Bring back C-3POs (cereal).

The word "prestigious" should never appear alongside the phrase "The Black List." I'm not saying there's not any good scripts in there, but the ratio is not proportionately higher than anywhere else. Hollywood assistants are the same people who will some day run Hollywood…only with an even lower percentage of acumen…

Fucking "Maps" man, fuck.

"They" did. It's called Cabin in the Woods.
