Simplest explanation to any and all discrepancies between Prometheus, Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, Predator, Predator 2, Predators, Alien vs. Predator, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, and all the various tie-in comics, novels, video games, etc: MULTIVERSE.
or a wizard did it.

been noticing a lot of promo pics of 'the new Ripley' and in each she appears to be wearing the same outfit but the lines / piping running down it are a different colour in each shot..
Is this a spoiler?
well, it's just what I observed during a single magazine article - and cover [Empire magazine] - but this includes BTS shots, characters goofing off between takes - Maybe there's a lacking CG element? - might take a look through the trailers again.
regarding the R rating - Scott was quoted in the same article saying 'the little bastards will still get in anyway, so what's the difference?'
he also mentions the financial risk of doing it as a PG-13 movie..
Edit - Regarding the shift in technology between this film and the others - it IS possible, however unlikely that the storyline will address this.
IT's been said that the last few minutes of the story tie in pretty strongly to Alien - in what way, I don't know.
In the TED talk 2033 clip Peter Weyland describes the fire that Prometheus gave humanity as TECHNOLOGY and of course he was punished for this.
We just don't know how things will play out yet, maybe humanity is plunged into a sort of technological dark age?

Alien: Director's cut...some changes were good.
Jones[y] is still a dick.
Bring on Prometheus.
After spending about a day grabbing updates I am just about ready to punch STEAM in the face.
It seems that most fans loved x2 - where nothing much really happens and hated x3 where the plot moves forward and raises the stakes.
I feel x3 is a bit underrated and x2 is WAY overrated. Loved x1 though.
I agree about Wolvering - but he's a cash cow. He's been in five Xmen films now with at least 1 more on the way...

not you, the cat!
yes and yes. at least for the moment.
anyone checked out the Portal 2 level editor yet? [aka the perpetual testing initiative]
had a bit of a muck about, pretty simple to get the hang of - now all I need is an idea...
Alien. 3 balls.
I'd forgotten how young Weaver looks in this one, She [Ellen Ripley] seems to have aged a LOT for somebody who spends most of her time in Stasis.
And given that the entire crew goes into stasis for long trips - including an android and I assume the cat - doesn't it seem odd that food is left out in the meals area - wouldn't it spoil while they sleep?
also, Jones[y] is a dick!
Black Tongue - Mastodon
digging a lot of Mastodon lately.
Body Movin - Beastie Boys.
Rest in Peace MCA.
that is gold.
re: Avengers - all you really need to know is that it's funny, exciting and unpredictable.
The 3D is well presented but the movie is great without relying on it.
They probably could have done a bit more to bring the audience up to speed - I'm sure plenty of people will see this who haven't seen the lead in films and might get a bit confused.
From what I've read they did plan to cast Edward Norton as Hulk / Banner again - but now I'm kinda glad they didn't. I do get a bit bothered when parts are recast but after seeing this film Mark Ruffalo IS Bruce Banner / Hulk.

Nobody's seen Avengers?? I keep hearing how good it is, but I want the straight dope from some people that actually have standards.
Are you saying I don't have standards?

Got a few books on the go but dropped everything to start on the new Dark Tower. It's basically an interquel between Wizard and Glass [part 4] and Wolves of the Calla [part 5].
The Wind through the keyhole - it's a story within a story within a story.
AVENGERS
This movie gets a perfect rating [4 balls] from me for one simple fact - after TWO horrible attempts somebody finally did THE HULK justice.
Not only did they get him right he pretty much steals the show.
That said there's plenty of other great stuff and everyone is on their game in this one. The plot follows on from the lead-in movies - thor, iron man, et al and does a good job of keeping the pacing tight and interesting.
And yes there IS an extra scene at the end but they moved it up into during the credits rather than at the very end - plenty of people had already walked out by that point but my friends and I stuck around 'just in case'.
oh and an extra ball for not putting the best bits in the trailer ;)
Saw a new trailer for Prometheus attached, nothing really different from anything we've seen so far, maybe a few seconds of new footage and a less dramatic feel overall as well as some cool music.
ribs on rooby
American Reunion [aka American Pie: Reunion]
A bit of fun but not all that funny, the first scene is kinda slapstick but then it gets pretty dull for a while.
1 Ball.

Pon farr. Wooooo!
They should make a spin-off Jersey Shore-esque soap Trek series that takes place on Vulcan and features young Vulcans constantly fighting with their emotional sides. Star Trek: Pon Farr. I see a winner.
Two men enter. One man leaves.
and then later the other man leaves.

Goldeneye is every bit as good as Casino Royale (sans cheese).
well, they were both Directed by the same guy, innit?
Cabin in the woods. Pretty disappointed in the end. I gotta agree with Bingo on this one.
Could have been something special. 1 ball.
The adventures of Tintin
Awesome.
Sherlock Holmes 2
less than awesome.
various personas of David Bowie?
Disney Princesses?
- no fighting, there are plenty to go around.
somebody mentioned Bond girls..what of Bond villains / henchmen?
