Also, re Prometheus, this.

I'm hating the movie more and more, but I'm glad I enjoyed the first hour and 45 minutes of it - and it IS beautiful to look at, with some fun bits that, alas, make absolutely no freaking sense.

That's the issue you have with that entirely absurd scenario? The impossibly advanced alien's could not make themselves look like a mythical human?

Spoiler:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall no evidence that the Engineers could shape-change. They seem fond of exoskeletal armor, but that only makes them look bigger and less human.

Spoiler:

I don't think it makes sense for them to have such drastically larger bodies and super strength, if they are in fact 100% genetically identical to us! (They did say it was a perfect match, yes?)

This movie is generating more discussion than many a better summer flick, anyway. (Even if a lot of it is sounding like post-Phantom Menace malaise.)

I'm happy to hate the movie based on what I saw on the screen, but if it turns out

Spoiler:

the Engineers want to wipe out humankind because we killed Jesus

, Damon and Ridley are dead to me.

That really would be the most staggeringly stupid thing ever.

I can only hope that one Mr. Mike White was thinking, "WTF am I doing here?"*

Yes, which in itself, makes it almost worthy of existing.

But, having read a lot of that discussion, now including this particularly fun and scathing piece, I'm amazed I actually enjoyed this abysmally craptacular film. Wow, must have been the 3D glasses pressing against the pleasure centers of my brain.
