LISTEN TO THIS REALLY CREEPY AUDIO CLIP FROM PROMETHEUS

Am I the only person that thinks Prometheus may be over-marketing itself at this point?

No...I STILL think we've only seen very little from merely the first 2/3rds of the movie.

I'm getting far too excited for this movie.

 That audio of that 'Vageel' attacking the guy instantly reminds me of John Hurts visceral pain in 'Alien'. I like that. It sounds like there is some true agony and nasty shit going on. 

 It makes my worries about the MPAA and the rumoured PG-13 rating even deeper. I suppose there won't be any tits in that scene so infants will be able to see it, however brutal it is ;)

 I just can't see this being PG-13 without some heavy cuts, which will piss me off as a paying customer.

 I've already got a ticket for the 'preview' screening two days early at the Melbourne Imax. Woo Hoo!!

 I had a dream last night that Vickers was Weyland. Something to do with her mannerisms and the trailer suggesting she is up to something. Some brain download thing..... Ignore me. lol

Jesus.  I spend 36 hours travellign round half the world, and one of the first things i listen to in my jet lagged state is THAT.

Now I'm going to have nightmares.

Why is everyone concerned with the rating?  I know Scott really wants a PG-13, but I could have swore I read somewhere that they plan on releasing the film how they want to and are going with the rating they get.  But they don't plan to cut around to get the PG-13.

To us perhaps, yeah.  I was talking to some young'ns the other day though, some of whom worked in multiplexes even.  Prometheus was not even on their radar. Those who had heard of the Alien franchise didn't really care for it and knew it only through AvP.  It was roughly in the same B-movie action franchise category as Resident Evil.

As much as I have to avert my eyes/ears from every new thing I think they're probably right to be a bit pushy with this one.

Non-reverse version.

Yeah fair enough, its easy feeling over-saturated in the net geek bubble, and maybe I'm just sensitive to it because Ridley had my ticket money in his hot little hands the moment this was even rumoured, so I'm trying to remain as spoiler-free as possible. This and Django are my two big blackout films this year.

Yeah, I'm greatly anticipating this, but I'm not forgetting the fact that Joe Public has no idea about this film. Which I hope turns around as we've got a little over a month left.

...or a little under...

It broke the IMAX pre-sales record in the UK...people know about it.

It's breaking IMAX presell records? That's a relief.  Hopefully that happens over here soon.

I also have to keep reminding myself that the friggin' thing is going to be in 3D. It's going to be the best use of 3D since the post conversion of Piranha.
