re: After giving Promet[h]eus a shot on cable

it is possble that prometheus 2 (hope they get a better title than that) clears this confusion up while being a fricking awesome movie making the original even better. Maybe they had all of this shite planned from the beginning


not holding my breath though

i like my boring science fiction as much as the next guy. seriously i do, but I'm still going to love blade runner, empire, aliens. They don't get into the science of ANYTHING. well except how the aliens reproduce.

It's not about "getting into the science," and showing formulas or scientific analysis. It's about being clear with what the rules are.

Science Fiction is particular in that it has to make OUR world seem familiar and new at the time by allowing for some specific element( or elements) to change it.

Blade Runner, boring or not (and I think it's brilliant), does exactly that.
