NolanFans' Collective Diary II: Collect Harder

[Dado]

I guess I must be the only member here who hasn't seen Prometheus yet. What can I say? During the time when it was showing in theaters here, I was going through some tough shit and I just didn't go out to see a movie for quite sometime. When I finally looked for it, it was gone. Now I gotta wait till october when it will be released on DVD. I feel really bad about this cause I couldn't join any discussion here and I'm a huge, HUGE fan of the original trilogy (Alien being one of the best films I've ever seen in my life). Plus, the trilogy always had a personal special story to me cause:

- Back in 79, before knowing anything about Alien, I saw its amazing trailer which blew my mind while still keeping me in the dark about the movie (and very excited about it). So, when it opened here, I was the very first in the line (something that never happened again) of the first showing, and I knew zero about it plot-wise. That's a wonderful feeling, seeing a movie completely fresh and being blown away by it. Since then, I became an Alien fanboy.

- In 86, I managed to be one of the guests of an early screening premiere of Aliens. Though a different take on the subject, I loved it too.

- And in 92, I was in Miami at the first screening of Alien 3. Seeing the third film in the US made it special, and I also liked Fincher's depressive take on it pretty much.

Then, Alien Resurrection came along and fucked everything.

and now, after all this history, all the expectation and hype about it, I ended up missing Prometheus in the theater.

I feel just sad about it.

I just remembered how I was so scared of this when I was a kid.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much.

This, on the other hand, is the death screen which preceded that for me when I was a kid...


...and by that I mean that if your game was stuck at this screen for more than 5 minutes, you were screwed.
