If David doesn't know he's poisoning Holloway then why did he look so evil when doing it?
Why was Wayland in such a hurry when he's in suspended animation?

Competition Time. I'm going to list 5 classics that I think remain unseen by DNWilliams. Dalmatian Jaws you do the same. Winner is the one with the most correct guesses.
Predator
Scream
Commando
Robocop
The Exorcist

From the actor playing Holloway (the guy David infects):
"It's something I haven't seen in science fiction, which is a sense of racism or bigotry towards androids and synthetic life."
Oh ... so apparently you haven't watched

Lindelof:
"I just feel like the idea of taking these three generations of creators (so the Engineers who created us, then us, and our creation synthetic human beings the robot David). We're going to take those three generations, we're gonna lock them in a room together, we're gonna watch them have sex with each other."
Oye.

Michael Crichton could have (maybe) pulled that idea off. Or Shakespeare. Know your limits as a writer. And also- -what about ALIEN?? It's literally like he never wanted to make an alien prequel. Butch And Sundance: The Early Days was a more consistent tie-in prequel to Alien than this. |

Oh ... so apparently you haven't watched THAT WAS MY EXACT SAME REACTION Goddamn, everything from Star Wars ("We don't serve your kind in here!") to freaking Will Smith's I Robot features racism towards synthetic life. If it has robots in it, there are racists. Come on dude... |

Sheridan wins, by the way. I haven't seen any of the movies Sheridan listed  though I do think listing two horror movies is cheating in my case... I just got Robocop because of Total Recall, so I'll be watching that within the week. I've seen Forbidden Planet, The Sting and The Thomas Crown Affair (both of them)  |

Balls.
"Whoever Wins, DN Loses."
Get to watchin'!
A bout of insomnia allowed for a double feature:
Mad Max and The Road Warrior - the Road Warrior is a better film, but it's so damn good that Mad Max is often overlooked. They really do compliment each other so well. Seeing Ma as the tender husband and father beforehand makes Warrior resonate so much more.

Man On A Ledge - Pretty good. Wish they had spent more time on the ledge and less on the ridiculously over-the-top safe-cracking.
My mind has finally processed more exactly one of the many things that bothered about the Prometheus biology. - If the black goo turned a human into a zombie. Why didn't the worms turn into zombies? A zombie had to have sex to create a facehugger. Or did the worms have sex off-camera?
Is there a cut scene of worm sex?
Oh why am I bothering...

I'd kill to read Spaithe's (SP?) original script, which was a flat out Alien prequel.

I think it's pretty certain it would have been a better story without Ridley Scott coming on board. He wanted the creator stuff, or the God stuff at the very least. Just the wrong direction to take the franchise in.

Jurassic Park - saw it on Blu-ray for the first time. Absolutely stunning. The VFX suffer a BIT in high def, but still hold up remarkably well.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park - hadn't seen this since opening day. Wow, what a snoozer. In the first 40 minutes no main characters make a decision other than to go to the island. There are PAGES of exposition followed by random scenes of filming dinosaurs, discovering a stowaway girl, and a completely separate team of humans arriving to capture dinos. It's all observation, no character decisions. Had to turn it off, it was so dull.
Girls - about six episodes in and I really, really like it. It's depressing at times, hilarious at others, but the writing is damn smart.

Didn't like the first few episodes of Girls at all. Thought they were pretty sucky, much like Tiny Furniture. All good from episode four on though, just overhyped.
Robocop - Quite the let down. Al concept, no plot. I mean, I enjoyed large parts of it, but it's the most straightforward story I've watched in a long time. Wheras watching Total Recall made me doubt the sequel would compare favorably, I actually feel the opposite having seen RoboCop. I'm fairly confident the remake is going to surpass it. The cast for the remake is great, and their choice of director is pretty inspired. I need to check out Elite Squad and see if it's genius.
In Bruges - Really good film. It's kind of unfair how easy it is for the Irish to be funny. They just have to say stuff and pull faces.
John Carter - Yeah, everyone that said this movie was awful is a liar. Decent. Enjoyable. Dejah Thoris was awful though, she almost single-handedly ruined the film.

I totally agree! What's going on?! Also this: "THEY TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW STORY WORKS ... THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND HOW DRAMA WORKS. AND THERE'S A BIG FREAKIN' DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO." http://badassdigest.com/2012/04/08/film-crit-hulk-smash-hulk-vs-the-john-carter-script/ |

Robocop is BOSS. Full of great ideas, and one of the best central performances in sci-fi.

The Stuff - A technically terrible movie that has both a brilliant idea and fantastic moments of deliberate humour.
