RS: We definitely did, and then we thought it was a little too on the nose. But if you look at it as an “our children are misbehaving down there” scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, “Lets’ send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it. Guess what? They crucified him.
At no point does the final product of the film Prometheus include a Jesus alien, nor was it intended to. I am glad it wasn't in the final cut but I think it's a cute little idea the way Scott puts it. It was a competent film and all this 'BUT WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS' talk indicates you either didn't bother with a rewatch or just weren't paying attention the first time around. I could give a shit about Ridley Scott's smug fucking ass but seeing nerds hyperventilate about this movie being bad by basically admitting that they don't get it is really fucking tired and boring at this point. It was a well made movie that pulled off a little bit of high-concept sci-fi in an ostensibly Hollywood way. If you can't recognize this boo hoo for you, learn2movies and stop complaining that it didn't make sense.
I watched Titanic for the first time ever. I had a lot of problems with it, the script especially, but it's one of my girlfriends favorite movies and all the little details she kept telling me about the production really made it fun. The ending almost made me tear up. Alllllmost.
I watched World's End. I think Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead and World's End are just The Expendables for smug NEETs/nerds. Hot Fuzz has a passable climax, the rest is complete fucking tripe. Seriously, irredeemable poorly made trash that is viewed by (North American) 'intellectual' subcultures as clever cinema when in reality it's just low budget repackaged hollywood trash. I cannot stress how much I loathe both these and Doctor Who. Total and complete shit.

The lack of close quotes caused me to read all of this as Ridley Scott
The only headscratcher for me was whether the squid baby was actually a hybrid fetus or just a giant mutant sperm.
