PERSONAL LOG: DAY [Lost Count]:
I remain hopeful that the trailer may arrive any moment now. The lingering sense of anticipation is the only thing that keeps me going on at this point. With every new announcement I remain balanced, amidst a growing sense of excitement that now borders on resentment. Dear God, why must they keep us waiting this long? Why?!!!!

I enjoyed the video, however. I agree with his attitude toward Prometheus—it's nowhere near the atrocity some make it out to be.
Prometheus is a good movie, some people just confuse not understanding something to that something being bad, tought it would be nice to see the deleted scenes IN the film, still it is perfectly coherent and logical, sorry for the people who did not understood it
Really?
I am not speaking for D88M, but IMO Prometheus isn't the abomination a lot of people here on this forum make it out to be. In fact, that opinion isn't wide-spread outside of internet soundboards. One of my co-workers, who isn't an Alien fanboy, said that "you didn't really need to know Alien to enjoy Prometheus" and I think that was part of the motivation for making the movie in the first place. My mother, who got us into Alien and Aliens, really liked Prometheus as well, and so did a lot of my friends and acquaintances who aren't uber die-hards with regard to this franchise. I always contend that if another version for an Alien prequel should have been made instead of Prometheus prior to Spaiths' pitch to Ridley Scott, Fox, and other members of the production committee then it would have been made. There was no incentive, prior to the failed Alien 5 idea between Scott and Cameron, to make an Alien prequel up until Prometheus was conceived. A better idea could have existed, but it was not bankable. As much as I hate it, being something of a purist, movies are made for a lot of different reasons—money being a huge one. Prometheus was worth putting a shit-load of money and talent behind and it was the best outcome after the horrible AVP movies. Now, is it perfect? Is it at times logical? I hate to say this, but there are a few things that irk the shit out of me upon re-watching the film. However, is it an incompetent mess? I argue no. I just wish that the pacing we got would be more evenly spaced out so as to include a little better character development, that's it.
Without it, we wouldn't be getting Covenant and by the sounds of it, this is a good thing.
