I really love Lee Marvin's "Wandering Star" and had wondered what the song is like in the context of the film.  Answer: he stands next to a guy for a while, then walks for a bit.

Loved it but also check him out on The Champs where he was really able to let loose.

Prometheus seemed to me a mash of two movies, one a smart creation myth about giant white dudes (coming at beginning at end) and the other a splatterfest in the vein of Alien: Resurrection—though, better executed—involving the franchise aliens.  They intersect almost not at all, with exception to the manner in which…

K, I figured out why the white alien dude kills everyone, I think.  If the white-alien DNA mixed with black ooze eventually replicates itself exactly, even if it takes a few billion years of environment-dependent evolution, then the black ooze must have some sort of intelligent design to it.
