I'm laughing my ass off (and worrying about the state of the human race) reading a thread on IMDB about SWatH, where the OP states that KS needs breast implants to improve her.
My vote would go to a procedure that transplants affect instead.
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

The instant I saw the singing, dancing zebra in the rainbow wig I thought "that's possibly the most annoying character to listen to on earth. Toddlers will LOVE it!"

Yeah, it was going to be hard for an R movie to beat the kids movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That Indiewire list is a bit of an admission of not-as-clever-as-we'd-have-liked, since they didn't manage to be cute ten times in a row.
What's a normal really good opening weekend for an R rated movie?
When we went to see Prometheus I reached into the normal bin for the 3D glasses in the baggies, and the ticket puncher gave me a different pair of specs--this one said IMAX and 3D. Is that advertising, or is there a technical difference?
My god, I promised myself I'd rewatch Children of Men today, but was seriously feeling too lazy to load the disc player and change the inputs on the TV.
YES.
That lazy.
Oh, look! It's on Syfy! Right now! So I appear to be settling for at best, ads, at worst bowlderisation. I don't even...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw Prometheus last night. Beautifully art-directed and cast, loved watching it. The script made me roll my eyes forever. How did this rich guy manage to hire the world's stupidest scientists? Geologist who gets lost in a cave area MADE OF ROCKS. Biologist who doesn't know better than to make kissy faces at an unknown life form? Archeologist who discovers a wild theory he devoted his life to is true and then immediately sulks by a pool table because he didn't get to talk to the dudes he imagined?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Scrappy,
are you sure the area where he got lost was made of rocks? I thought that was part of the space vehicle and thus I was not certain what material it was made from.
Not for nothing, I completely agree with you at the levels of stupidity. It burned. real bad.

I'm not sure why a geologist couldn't get lost if they were in rocks, but I agree with LeN--that was the spaceship, wasn't it?
But, yeah--these were some resounding stupid people. Decision after decision was barely even a decision. And some of the obstacles were kind of random. When Shaw went into Inara's shuttle (that's totes what it looked like to me) in order to have the abortion, the gender discrimination of the machinery seemed really random. And, if it's designed for men (no foreshadowing there), how can you just talk it through an abortion? And why would it leave your womb? It thinks you're a guy, remember? And once all that was done, why don't you kill the fucking alien baby?
Oh, and why did that bit even happen? What orders was David under that told him to infect one of the crew members with black oil/purgatory monsters? Did it have to be him specifically? Because he was obviously going to sleep with someone right away and get her pregnant? What was supposed to happen as a result of that? How did it further Weyland's agenda? Or was it just random experimentation?
