This seemed more appropriate to share here than on the actual movie thread

James, cheers for the read and I've just got your pm where I mentioned this lol.

A Jesse (maybe Jessie, not sure actually) is just someone who is scared of most things, like a coward.

Thanks for reading though and that you breezed through it.

E.D. that was classic!  Pretty much said everything I did too.

Anyone else notice that the Engineer in Prometheous is roughly 10-12 feet tall yet the same species that are found in Alien is roughly 30 feet tall?  Continuity error....?

Good post.

Hey Anthony!

Glad you liked the short.
I thought of you when I saw it.

So, I'm a little late to the party...
But I'm gonna crack this gooey puppy open this morning.

I like the jokes right up to Fifield picks on the captain.
The synthetic typically does run the ship when everyone's in stasis.

P. 7
David does seem a bit obsessed about the tactile. Doesn't he?

P. 9
I wondered about the bot mapping too.
I mean, they're constantly showing that 3D tracking map. WTF?

P. 18
Weyland oversleeps. LOL!

P. 24
Yeah, the rolling donut of doom was giggle inducing.
I kept thinking... Don't they have Wile E. Coyote cartoons in 2089?

Light read with sarcastic bit. I dug it.
There were typos I'm sure others caught...
But in these kinds of script, I tend to tune out stuff like that.

So, are you going to write your sequel before Ridley does?

Regards,
E.D.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer Hey Anthony! I kept thinking... Don't they have Wile E. Coyote cartoons in 2089? E.D.

Ha ha , you got me thinking now; Wile E Coyote v's Aliens?

Cheers for checking this out E.D.

Quoted from bert ... "You were scared of bugger all a few hours ago." I do not even know what that means, really, and it still cracked me up. Same goes for, "Cobblers." ...

I'm gutted Bert doesn't understand the English idioms, I always assume they're ubiquitous. As for the script, it reminded me of Python in places, the anarchic fast-switching dialogue and zany imagery. Plus the satirical swipes at bad sci-fi were welcome. More than welcome. The only slight question i'd have is whether it's a little too self-aware in places - you can almost see the characters winking as they deliver lines (although that might be what you were aiming at)...

Sweet read.

Quoted from marriot it reminded me of Python in places, the anarchic fast-switching dialogue and zany imagery.

Thanks, marriot, this made me smile  

Glad you liked it.
