Unfortunately I am just referring to that bloke being in it, always weird seeing people out of the wire on other things I find. Get sucked so much in to the characters it's hard for them to be anyone else. Only just found out that the bloke is British, props to him!
Best of the day for me though was;
Loose Change - An American Coup 8.5/10
Haven't watched a 9-11 docufilm for a few years.

Get the parasites behind bars so we can have a better tomorrow.

I guess you're referring to the 'Alien' films?!
Don't know how tongue-in-cheek the smiley was, but it wasn't really a prequel to those films as such. Inasmuch as the focus of the story was not the aliens themselves.
Can you say what without giving away spoilers? I'm interested in hearing others' thoughts on the film.

Yeah that's what I meant, I'm not sure what you mean though, it's most definitely a prequel in my opinion.
Haven't seen Prometheus, but I've read that it's meant as a prequel, showing us what happened prior to the events in Alien.

Think he's a quality actor. Could perhaps be the first black James Bond? Wonder what kind of odds you'd get for that...
Have you seen it? The focus of the story was the 'engineers' rather than the aliens; the former don't appear in the Alien films do they? There was still loads of Engineer-related stuff to explore in a potential sequel.
I agree that it was a prequel in that it's set in the same universe as the Alien films, and the events happen before those of the Alien films, but the stories aren't directly related.

Yeah I've seen it. My thoughts are in white as they may be spoilers to a certain degree. Don't read if you haven't seen.
Yeah the focus of the story was Engineers, and the Aliens were essentially created by them, intentionally or not. Military base used to make WOMD which goes wrong and is left untouched for two thousand years, and then the humans come and poke around and the result is that one of the beings that the woman incubated (planted by David) inside her uses the surviving Engineer as a vessel to create the new species of Aliens. The stories are very much related in my opinion.

Not that Ive seen it Pinter but from the trailers etc thats basically what I expected.
The whole "not a prequel" line seems a bit rich...

have you seen it ?
firstly, for me, the characters were all pretty unlikable or annoying, i didn't really find myself caring for any of them, couldn't work out who we was meant to be cheering for.
the story line, whilst pretty good, seemed to gloss over the important stuff all too quickly. several inaccuracies along the way, few plot holes etc - it felt really dumbed down in places/bordering on insulting actually - the more i think it about it the more let down i feel. a good movie to watch in the cinema with 3D and the effects and all that but as another part of the Alien franchise it has fallen well short
id agree with Spinter that it was most definitely a prequel - id imagine there's a sequel lined up to further the questions that were left unanswered
it's defo a prequel - id imagine there will be 1 or 2 more movies exploring this side of the story and which will bring us full circle almost to where we were with the original

The thing with porn is - you know the ending before its begun.
Anyone seen Rat Race? with Rowan Atkinson? Im watching it now (recorded it from Four Film) very good film
