Talking about Prometheus is tricky, cause there are some real moments that make your head scratch even if you pay attention(Run to the left you dumb bitch), but there are also a lot of complaint thrown out at it that can be remedied by simply paying attention. I personally do not think a movie needs to excel in all ways to be a good movie, Prometheus certainly doesn't have the best writing or acting at times, but the visuals knock it out of the part and I will like it forever because of that. Movie are a visual medium, to ignore that entire aspect of a movie is a little silly. Also, part of the reason the script is so convoluted is that the original script was just too much like an Alien movie for RS, so he had Lindelofleolfolfolfo go over it and basically said, "I want it to be like an alien movie but not too much".
Anyways, I just saw the new Breaking Bad, Oymandius. Best hour of television I have seen.
