right? between that and "Mad Men", I feel it is all right in the world.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit, I just had some Matt Bomer animated GIFs from Magic Mike, and I don't know where they are anymore...
Looks like Channing's not playing the Magical Mike--that's Pettyfer's character. But, still, I think it's a rental for me.

Needless to say, MASSIVE SPOILERS
Er, I'd say your sentence before needs a little whitefonting too.
"All will be revealed in James Cameron's PROMETHEUSES."
I was going to make that joke! Damn you, Internet!
I just got back from Prometheus. I enjoyed it, but it didn't make a lick of sense.
I did like that Dr. Shaw was like, "I am fucking sick of women being impregnated with alien babies! I AM CUTTING THIS SHIT OUT OF ME MYSELF." Although, as already discussed, it didn't make a lick of sense.

Prometheus Unbound: What The Movie Was Actually About.
May be reading too much into it, but some interesting stuff in there, especially regarding why the Engineers were wiped out two thousand years ago.

Okay, he is full of shit. The reason why the "black slime" became a serpent had nothing to do with intent. Did he miss the earlier shot where there were worms under David's feet? The worms hit the black slime and became the serpent.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
OK, I graduated magna cum laude with a minor in English that emphasized British drama. So I feel pretty confident that if I come out of a movie completely mystified as to what was actually going on in the plot and what the screenwriter and director were trying to convey, it's not a case of me just being a yokel who's too dumb to "get it." That, my friends, was a beatifully shot Hot Mess. Sort of the cinematic equivalent of Batman Odyssey.

Matt,
yeah, you are Beau (Ph.D. in Lit) had a similar reaction. My bar is a bit lower with regard to strict adherence to plot coherence. But Beau is still yelling about there being no plot.
Say what you will about the weaknesses of the Matrix trilogy, but even the last 2 weren't as big of a hot mess as Prometheus.

When the opening credits rolled, I thought, oh, hey, Guy Pearce is in this movie!
During the movie, I never thought, hey, it's Guy Pearce!
When the closing credits rolled, I thought, oh, hey, Guy Pearce was in this movie!
