Prometheus Review- Spoiler Free
Visuals: Perfect
Soundtrack: Fantastic
Plot: Highly questionable
Dialogue: Unforgivable
I so wanted to have better things to say about what some (people who haven’t heard of Christopher Nolan) are calling the most anticipated film of 2012. Seeing it in super duper hyped up mega 3d (I think that’s what they call it) certainly helped, but it still didn’t quite hit home.
I wont go so far as to say that Ridley Scott shouldn’t have bothered, but I wonder if this was exactly what he envisioned for the story that started before I was born, or more likely what he saw lining his wallet for the next ten years.
Maybe it needed to be longer and give a bit more bulk to a weak and under developed story. Maybe it needed some bigger acting balls than the frankly weak turn out from Dude From Dark Blue and a more original use of peril for our leading lady who, lets tell the truth, Ripley Would have eaten for breakfast and save the scraps for the cat. Noteworthy it was, but in all honesty it was only a side performance as always from Idris Elba, shamelessly underused.
Highlights: A cool and creepy turn from Michael Fassbender as David; the final 30 seconds of the film which just about delivered what the previous 100 minutes had been lacking.
Biggest Gripes: Appalling script. Really. Appalling.
Conclusion: You should see this film, on the big screen with as many 3d, Imax, smellovision or rumbleshock add ons as possible. It is worth seeing, but if you appreciate your films for a bit more than the Shiny- prepare to be underwhelmed. And if you’re a mega Alien legacy fan who has been looking forwards to this for months, not unlike my viewing companion today, make sure you go with someone who will give you a consolatory hug at the end.

Reblogging purely for @sparkle1980. This is of no interest to me. Honest. Especially not the bicep action in the last shot.

Another Hawaiian ‘happy face’ spider.
Can’t help thinking this is The Joker of the arachnid world, it is plainly still evil. What with being a spider and all.

Shoes! Want!
I also want feet that work properly so I could wear said shoes :-(

Thoughts on and after seeing NKTOBSB at the O2 last night.
There is something kind of sordid about a bunch of 40 something men in jeggins thrusting all over the place.
There is something kind of disturbing about a tens of thousands of 30 something women screaming themselves sick over a bunch of 40 something men in jeggins thrusting all over the place.
Joey McIntyre has not aged well but can still sing.
Danny Wood has really not aged well.
When it comes down to Nick Carter, I still would.
I want a pet Bryan. He’s adorable.
Step by Step is a pop master piece.
I fricking love The Backstreet Boys.
AJ bares a striking resemblance to a colchester kebab shop proprietor.
O2 chips with garlic and parmesan are a seriously dirty dinner option.
Nick is clearly slightly crazy and probably quite irritating in the flesh. But I still would.
Howie talks like a chipmunk.
Of all 9 of them, Jordan was the only one who could really get away with the jeggins and wifebeater look. Dude is in good shape.
I will spend much of today watching old BSB videos on youtube.
I had so much fun last night my face still hurts, but I wont be finding a local cinema to go and watch the live stream for tonight.
I am horrified that BSB have been on the go for 19 years and NKOTB for 25. More to the point, I am horrified that if they are all that old, I am not far off being that old either.
You are never too old to sing along to Larger Than Life.
Yeah, I still would.

Writing is a form of therapy. Sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear which is inherent in the human situation.
