You must be new here.

There's a mission being a fiasco, then there's a multi-trillionaire putting together the strangest, most disconnected, unprofessional team imaginable for no reason explained. He could have afforded the creme-de-la-creme of scientists and researchers, put them through the very best training and had a way better chance

Was it though? This was never actually covered in any regard and the movie made no attempt to frame Shaw's bizarrely flippant religious "explanations" as anything other than admirable.
Vickers, the only competent member of crew on board, was framed as an mean snooty-pants for just wanting to get on and get the job

It's called hyperbole for effect. You need to have more conversations.

They get to her room and she presents a 15 minute long PowerPoint slideshow of her childhood photos, then tells him to leave and never sass mouth her again when she's the the only one on board actually doing their job!

This is what happens when you hire all your 'scientists' from Craig's List.

That scene is amazing because there is literally zero set up for it and it is never even so much as vaguely referenced again! You could remove it entirely from the movie and nothing would be different! Did they do it or was that excursion just so she could show him documented evidence she was really a human?
It doesn't

Bargain bin Tom Hardy

It was pretty. Pretty direction, pretty cinematography, pretty actors. It has that much.

People who try and make you do things like 'safety' and 'common sense' in dangerous places, like space, are not to be listened to, ever.

The only character who had any sense on that whole ship and she died the stupidest death. Well… One of them… Proportional to her relative non-stupidity, unlike all the other characters who are stupid and have fittingly stupid deaths.

I always figured she was an android too, and Prometheus 2 would be Rapace finding her detached head somewhere and traversing space with two bickering sibling android heads in the passenger seat. Pretty disappointed this won't be happening after all apparently.

So many bad movies this year. Soooo many. We were spoiled last year and this year is a year of penance.

It was A.J. Daulerio, the editor-in-chief of Gawker Media (which Jezebel is under the umbrella of) and it wasn't a joke, it was a purposefully flippant reply given during a sworn disposition for a lawsuit over them publishing the sex tape of people who didn't consent to having their sex tape published:

It's essentially OK!Magazine that slips a flimsy cardboard Gloria Steinem mask on when it suits it. But MRA types will look for anything that slots in with their preconceived notions of what feminism is, so it doesn't surprise me they'd mistake a gossip tabloid owned by a man who admitted he'd only stop short of

It kills me to think that anyone would use Jezebel as an example of why they don't support feminism… It's a site that makes a good deal of it's click-money from promoting misogyny. It shouldn't be used as an example of anything but a bad tabloid gossip rag and there's no such thing as a feminist version of that.

You could easily play a game of 'From whence did this come: The firey bowels of Reddit or the Jezebel comments section'.

Jezebel is certainly not any kind of leading voice for feminism. It's the Gretchen Wieners of feminism; spiteful, gossipy, and hypocritical in the extreme and I'd be glad to see it die for all the venom it's encouraged towards famous women through no fault of their own.
It did have some wonderful guest writers however,

The argument was a lot more nuanced than that…. But I do miss Charlie Jane

Gawker the tabloid deserves every punishment coming their way for their gross and unethical behavior. The good folks that write excellent and sincere content for iO9 and Kotaku don't, and I hope they're all okay.
