The Prometheus Blu-Ray sets are officially out today in the UK and tomorrow in the US. For those that haven’t got it yet, I recommend reading my Prometheus Blu-Ray Review. I still have mixed feelings about the movie but the Collector’s/Special Edition is a great set to have. There’s absolutely loads of extra content to keep you occupied.
You’re also in for a little surprise when you view the special features. AvPGalaxy makes an appearance in the last five minutes of the Making Of Prometheus documentary when they start talking about the fanbase. They show a selection of your posts and comments as well as some news posts. The site also appears in one of the Enhancement Pods: ‘The Case of the Fake FanFic’ which is about the Alien Harvest fan script. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Charles de Lauzirika, Jon Mefford and our very own Corporal Hicks for making this happen. It’s kind of a nice touch that after all our hard work, we’re getting some recognition.
It’s actually been ten years this week that I launched this website for Alien/Predator fans and we’ve come a very long way since then. We’ve followed four movies out of these franchises and are still here reporting news on the latest happenings with the series. Here’s to many more years to come.
It is so great that it got some recognition on the Prometheus blu-ray. I had a big smile on my face when they showed excepts from the site and was pleasantly surprised.
Great job guys Well done and keep up the good work.
Well deserved! Well done!
That was a fun day. still working my way through the documentary. It's brilliant so far. Charles' work is fantastic.
Nope.
Put down the Mountain Dew.
Yep.
I know - it's a bit like if somene states "I've told you a million times, don't over exaggerate"
Heh, that's awesome. That was a great April Fool's
I remember that, for me it was a very long time after April Fools though, better late than never.

Congrats Darkness on 10 years!

Now that is a generality, sir.
True, everybody involved is a bit over the top.. True, there are people who don't hate the movie. But I feel overloaded by the people who do. Unfortunately here, Twitter, Facebook, even my best friend
Oh please.
How bout all of the generalizers and how they generalize every level of criticism.
Most of the hate is directed at very few, and none of them are the majority of the crew involved in the production, especially not dat SFX crew. Every problem comes down to the script and the editing, but that's only been stated by nearly everyone 10 million times.
It was cool listening to the cast how they admire the fans.
And then I remembered all the haters and how much they hate everybody involved with the movie...
Fixed
You appear under the Prometheus board label.
There's more than one missing name.

If I remember that period correctly, this should be profoundly entertaining.
... ... ... shit, I hope it wasn't a derogatory post they put in there ... better buy the set now
anyway I think the movie is pretty good, like a 3/5 or 7/10. It's a visual treat whatever you think of the plot. and that's why I like it.
the 3D is amazing, probably better at home than at the theatre (I actually find this to be true with most 3D movies actually) and the 3 bonus 3D clips of Avatar, Titanic, and I, Robot are pretty cool features.
But then again, I could almost say that this film almost isn't a prequel either...
And under that notion I'm left asking myself if I would even purchase this film if the engineers were replaced by green martians and the space crafts resembled flying saucers instead. Because that's really the only thing that binds this film to Alien. Without the visuals, this just isn't a prequel. So with that in mind, I just have to pass on this one...
Btw, I think it's great to acknowledge all of the success that this website has had over the years. I am thankful to all of those who have made avpgalaxy what it is today. Kudos to Darkness and the entire avpgalaxy team!

Happy birthday then! Hip hip...
That was just great to read from you, Darkness. I don't know why, but it just felt so grand coming from you. I would be minnus a lot of pals if you had not launched this site ten years ago. So, thank you, Darkness.
yummmie
I was just a little irritated at your response to my best wishes, and when I didn't read ChrisPachi's post carefully enough - my mistake, I'm really sorry about that - I took another opputunity to voice my annoyance at your lack of gratitude.
I was not trying to make fun of you for defending the film - I even have defended the film a lot, as have I with many other films in the Alien quadrilogy. I think it's a legitimately good thing to do - voice your opinion, and don't be afraid to say something different. I'll add a smiley or something next time to diffuse the tension. I was happy for predxeno when I thought he might've been in the extras too - a similar situation. If you worked hard fighting for your opinion, you do deserve a part in the extras representing this large and great forum.
And judging my the 5 new replies - I think I just sealed a reputation of being an asshole when I was genuinely trying to be the opposite.
Amen.
"Look lads , that's me!!! LOOK!!!! Highland!!"
"Hell are you banging on about?! twat, who the hell watched these parts of the extras"
"Look the tag is me!!! #pauses Zooms in# # looks at mates with a I'm so cool look# #signs into AVP galaxy# LOOK lads!!!!!
"Loser, that could be anybody, lets stick the movie on eh?"
Thud.
