"Alien" fans: the "Space Jockey" story finally going to be told

[Darren Dirt]

"David" android ads + Joel McHale = AWESOMENESS

[Mr. Analog]

I was chatting with one of my online buds last night and this movie will piss you off if you are an Alien fan and it will piss you off if you aren't an Alien fan because it gives you no new insight into the Jockey AND it raises further questions.

There is also some serious retconning that I won't discuss in case you DO actually want to see this ... film.

His words: This is the "Phantom Menace" of the Alien series...

Ok so I'm going to give you some constructive criticism (I hope) here my friend. Why?  Cause I really think sometimes you might have some really kewl stuff to share with us, but franky I think most people just ignore your links.

Something that makes no sense + Random Name = Exclamation Point when used in so many post is not cleaver or inviting.  Seriously man... give an explanation.  From the line above I am thinking Android phones had an Ad for David that somehow brings up Joel McHale (which I have no idea who is).

I followed the link, and the only thing I can gather is that they are making fun of an android.  I assume, being I haven't seen any "David" ads, that this is making fun of some movie promotions of Prometheus, and would have worked better if you had said:

Hey you guys seen those Prometheus ads with the David android ([Link])?  I found this pretty funny when going through E-Online with their Soups clips.

See now I have context, thought linkage and understanding of link I am trying to share with everyone.  Brain dumps are fine sometimes, and cleaver sentences can be a flavour text once and a while. But in all seriousness, I really skip most of your posts with links cause I find the context and information given most of the time isn't enough to grasp my attention.  Rather I scan your posts, sadly I mostly don't read them, as there usually isn't much meat there just point form or hash tag stuff that more annoys than invites.

I hope this isn't to harsh or pointed, but I really want to get this point home.  Forums are supposed to be a discussion place, interactive with the community it contains.  More than any other poster, you have topics that are just your initial post or you replying to your own posts. That says something to me right there, and I think it should say something to you as well.

Or I'm off my rocker.

[Mr. Analog]

Ooch, that was pretty harsh, I'm gonna raise my hand and say that I've been a bit hard on DD lately too but still...

I watched it early this morning but didn't comment my bad, it was funny, the connection to Alien is in the viral marketing videos for "David" the android.

So if you weren't up on the viral marketing for this one the parody falls flat.

The actor is a bigger name over at CollegeHumor (if you watch The Soup).

We cool, all of us bring little esoteric things to the plate, like a well done Reccardi pose in a Kricfalusi layout (see, there's something only I will enjoy)

Well I would say that within the Context of this thread it wasn't a bad link, considering the "David" video had been linked TWICE already in the thread. However a little explanation is always nice.

No I think you are just a little grouchy this morning.

Well you got me there as I purposely haven't been watching any trailer links cause I want to not spoil the movie myself.  Although looking back, only once was "David" mentioned in the posts so I guess I did miss that.  My bad on that part.

I think "David" would make an excellent junior high social studies teacher!
...but still this amazing technology gonna inevitably lead to The End Of Mankind: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1541155/

Forget missing the Ted talk you missed my post with the android promo video.

yeah normally I would say {if you haven't seen the [link]"David" android fake ads[/link] you should watch them before watching this funny parody from Joel "The Soup, and also an NBC sitcom that it seems the cool thing to say you watch all the time" McHale} but I was kinda on brainfog/melt at the time I posted it so I apologize for being as unclear as my usual standard level of unclearyness.

[Mr. Analog]

Well from my perspective we cool, it was a great parody too if no one else actually watched, worth checkin' out

[Mr. Analog]

Well, Bob sums up my feelings:

Blade Runner and Prometheus exist in the same world

(same director, so not really shocking this is being easteregg'd)

The fact that Bill Murray is pretty much saying "No, there will never be a Ghostbusters 3, even though the studio really REALLY wants to go to the well again with this franchise"? Or the fact that Bill Murray never saw an episode of Seinfeld until the series finale?

Well looks like officially "if there WILL be a G3, it will definitely be without me!"

gee, THANKS Bill! Guess what, now Ivan is all like "I'm just gonna take my franchise-ball home, rip it all up and start over completely with an all-new Ghostbusters remake that will star all new Ghostbusters who won't have annoying hesitations or integrity" and whatnot.

NOT ANOTHER REBOOT

augh!!

[Darren Dirt]

Before Damon Lindelof got a hold of it and mangled it beyond recognition, curious what "Prometheus" might have been?
