Title: Talk Show Promotion
Post by: Vickers on May 24, 2012, 08:16:11 AM
Charlize was on Ellen and Jay Leno where she promoted Prometheus.  Just a heads up.  I'm not sure which clips were shown but I can imagine it would be something involving her character and not the Prometheus landing clip.  And they very rarely play trailers instead of clips on talk shows.

Oh, thank you! ;D

I wonder who she's referring to?  Perhaps
Spoiler
Peter Weyland
[close]
?  And then of course, I wonder *what* she's referring to?

I'm thinking
Spoiler
David's been instructed to carry out some really questionable orders that ultimately sets off a chain of events and puts everyone's lives in danger.  David might not have been successful at first, whatever the task may have been, and Peter insisted he try harder.  Vickers sensed there's a deep agenda at play and she's pushing David for details.  I'm thinking this is only a small glimpse of the last part of her confrontation.

I might be way off but the clip is certainly successful in making me excited to see how everything plays out.

Just based on the few scenes with Logan that I've seen from the trailers, I really don't like his performance. Some of his lines come off as cheesy as hell or just plain awkward, and in other parts he seems to be overacting like a mofo.

Remember the Q & A that was shown right before the first "official" trailer was premiered? Now I know why Ridley didn't want people cheering for Holloway haha.

For what it's worth, I often like to consider hypothetical "show downs" between noteworthy male protagonists as well. (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi825.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fzz174%2FBK56%2Fshrug.gif&hash=6df253e1faf31bd12b19fdc1e2f57987cd4e50cf)

Agreed (sadly).  For what it's worth, amongst all of the iconic sci-fi films produced in the past thirty years or so, I consider Ellen Ripley to be the most heroic protagonist in the entire genre.

Courageous, strong and honorable ... I really admire those traits in an individual. (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi825.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fzz174%2FBK56%2Fthumbsup-winksmiley.gif&hash=5494b9bec0c94263721265d8a6680f8dbecb2cc7)

More of a metaphor.

Although I could be way off. :P

You're not off and I agree - it's Vickers putting David down just because she can, him being non-human and all.

The clip seems to suggest that the scenario I've had in mind, with tension arising between Vickers and Weyland with David smack in the middle, is happening for real. The 'try harder' comment must refeer directly to something David is up to (in his lab with the engineer specimens?), considering it was only meant for him.

Actually no. What there is a massive amount of, are misguided analysis, theories and readings of what have been shown to us up until this very moment. Sofar, nothing that Riddles, Lindelof or Spaihts have said on the film, have been revealed to be misinformation.

I thought the score was overpowering the dialogue there, maybe just my speakers, but I had to strain to hear what they were saying. Still very excited. One week to go :)

"I will find the cord that makes you run and I will cut it"

I LOVED the score behind that scene as well.

This was a good scene. Also I like how david changed his voice to weylands when he said "try harder". :P

Yes, Vickers just broke the first Rule of Robotics (in the Alien-verse).  Never throw an android up against a wall.

Of course, this rule may be circumvented if it turns out that Vickers is, in fact, also an android.

I don't think she's talking about a life support cord.  She's referring to him being an android. "I will find the cord that makes you run and then I will cut it."

Course not, not talking about them. They're not saying ANYTHING useful. But we'll just see if that girl on twitter was saying the truth, and if all the callsheet & script 'leaks' are real then...

It's a case of juvenile crushes.  Vickers likes Weyland and gave David some flowers to deliver to him.  There was a note on the flowers that read, "I hope you like these.  I can't get my mind off of you."  When Peter Weyland got the note, he rolled his eyes and told David to tell Vickers to "Try Harder."  Vickers was really eager to find out what Weyland thought of the flowers but David was embarrassed for her and didn't want to break the bad news to her that Weyland was playing hard to get...and probably wasn't interested in her.  This is the scene when Vickers demands to get that information from David.

That would be pretty cool no?
You have your characters: Shaw, Holloway, David, Vickers, Janek, Engineer, Cuddles, and Weyland.
Then you have your weapons: flamethrower, ass flower, fire extinguisher, black goo, blunt side of an ampule case, pistol, Weyland's cane, and giant axe.
And you have your locations, Vickers' room, the medlab, the laboratory, hypersleep chamber, the docking bay, Juggernaut pilot room, ampoule room, and Prometheus cockpit.

And well, now we know what the scene meant and who David was talking to;

Spoiler
He was talking to Weyland and 'Try Harder' most likely referring to David's orders to use Engineer tech to help Weyland's health, which is lacking in his old age.
