Cool, I prefer Dropbox. It's simple to use and i can access it on my tablet when I'm out and about.

I've been checking out some of the 'transmission' clips on youtube - while they probably wouldn't be ideal to insert as they are I can see bits and pieces that can probably be pinched.

Watched the longer TEDTalk clip, It's got some good stuff. Weyland still comes off a little rant-y but he seems to be trying to convince people rather than just showing off..there are still parts that exist in both parts that i'd trim out.

I've been thinking about the possibility of removing the squid from the plot entirely - maybe some of the David montage from the start could be used later on to fill in the gaps.

I don't think we'd lose anything important by not seeing him alone on the ship early on. Given that his skills as a translator aren't needed until the end of the film we could probably see him practicing later on during the storm while most people are just sitting around..
