Okay guys, so I recently watched Prometheus and was thoroughly disappointed, so much so that I wrote a spoof version. My question is, should I post it, do I put a spoilers warning on it as anyone who hasn't seen the film and reads it will get the gist of the (so called) story? |

Hey Affly,
My thought on this is whether you care in the result. If you don't, do what you like.
Spoofs don't ususally go down well even when not about a current film.
To stop those reading, who may see the film, a spoiler would be recommended.
I for one would read it. |

I know spoofs don't do well and may not even submit it but I felt so strongly about the film I was compelled to write it. In fact is was first thing I sat down and wrote from start to finish in one go lol. |

Scary movie was a spoof. And I think it did well. You will never know if you don't post or share it with someone you trust. I say post it. The worst thing that can happen is you'll receive negative reviews. Like anyone on here hasn't gotten negative reviews. lol. Gabe |

There shouldn't be any question about the spoilers thing; I'd be pissed if I hadn't already seen the movie.
As for the debate in whether you should post it, I say go for it. I'll read it. Just don't expect everyone to be super supportive of it. |

What's wrong with spoofs? I personally love a good spoof and will be sure to check this one out, Alffy.
Hopefully you've chosen to put a spoiler alert at the beginning as its the right thing to do.

I've added a spoiler to the logline but maybe I should have added one to the title page? |

I'm sure that all the people on site who wanted to see Prometheus have done, alffy.
And if they haven't, I guess it means they aren't gonna, based on the generally mixed reviews it got.
I read the review by Sniper after he saw it - I wasn't going to see it anyway. I don't watch any movies anymore. Last one I saw at the cinema was the dark knight in 2008. And that was rubbish.
I'll check out your spoof,alffy. |

Cheers Stevie. I've had a few say they'll read it now, so no pressure then! lol I will say it runs to around 30 pages but reads pretty quickly though. Seriously though, I'm nervous now....but I guess if it's terrible then I've done no worse than Prometheus. |
