I liked it quite a bit. There were a few little plot holes, but I really enjoyed it despite that.

Exactly.. Jason ON someone should tell Hollywood that sci-fi and philosophy won't go together.... It's like doing a horror romance story... Will. Not. Work. Period

I liked it, it was a great film, but, for me, as a prequel to alien, I expected even more if it than it gave...but as a film on its own.. it was great

Tom Jacob Not everyone in the world wants or is happy with simplistic movie plots. Sci-fi and philosophy have gone hand in hand for as long as sci-fi has existed.

Liz Kimber, from what Ridley Scott has said about Prometheous it wasn't really a prequel. Yes, it happens in the same universe, but it wasn't to be watched as though it were happening before Alien. As a standalone movie it was really good, but if people were expecting a prequel they were to be disappointed.

Hmm, I was sold it as a prequel (hence the ending).. so I was disappointed a bit in that sense, but I did enjoy it..

+1 for the philosophical angle though I felt the flick was quite annoying at times, I can't quite explain my disdain though.

All movies are predictable. Do you want to know how Dark Knight Rises ends? Or how about Titanic? There are only 5 stories to be written and once you've understood that you can predict just about anything.

And Prometheus was a good movie. Like you said, we knew none of them were going to make it home, but how it played out was the question and it played out well. Not to mention the philosophical questions posed by the movie and the nature of good and evil (if one believes in those things).

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
