Ridley Scotts "Prometheus" (2012)


Recommended Posts

The military ship should have been more advanced probably.

all military stuff is built with the " cheapest " price, Airforce 1 is still run on XP systems, as well as Marine 1.

i can see the tech of the science ship being higher as science would mroe likely be privatized and what goes on the ship would be in the control of the scientists. could easily say that an upgraded system is needed to get more accurate results for an experiment

It's a non-official poster made by Midnight Marauder (who is a professional graphic designer).

You can find more in the same style here, and a spelling corrected version of the one above.

Too bad, but great design, kudos to the artist. Reminded me of a Kubrick or Tarkovsky movie.

Edit: Holly hell! This guys should be hired by a major Hollywood design powerhouse ASAP.

Regarding the David clip, since I haven't commented earlier -- such a layered performance. Fassbender's the ****.

Fassbender it's Hollywood next great actor. Have you seen Shame?

Hell, sometimes he acts like a young Marlon Brando. That good.

^ Thanks for the updates and tidbits, but I'm drawing the line with the latest trailer. Wish I actually didn't watch that one either, I've been hyping this up so much it'll be hard to meet the expectations, not to mention each trailer showed more and more stuff. At this point, the only thing they haven't done is show the xenomorph, and contrast that with the first teasers when no one was even sure if it was a proper Alien prequel.

Still, really looking forward to checking this out.

Trailers are a mixed bag. I've seen some where some content in them didn't even appear in the movie. You never really know and I think Ridley Scott + Alien precursor backstory is good enough to carry the hype.

How is this a prequel to Aliens?

Not technically a prequel (maybe a spiritual one), but they talk about the space jockeys (the large being sitting in the chair in the derelict spaceship in Alien) and their plans to conquer the universe.

I'd say the story is set in the Alien Universe, but it's before Aliens existed.

Same. I'm thinking this movie will have the android that we hear about in the first Alien. The reason why everyone distrust androids so much will hopefully be revealed :)

I think Alien and the small conversation Bishop had in Aliens sure explains why everyone distrusts Androids so much in the Alien universe :) I'm hoping for more of the same from our friend David in Prometheus :D

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
