chbare Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Completely unrelated to EMS: When I was a kid, one of the very first horror movies I ever saw was the 1979 Ridley Scott film Alien. It was and remains an epic masterpiece IMHO. An amalgamation of fear, tension and a feeling of claustrophobia within an original scifi setting. Naturally, I have been waiting for Scott's move back into scifi after nearly 33 years, and it would appear at least some of the Alien DNA will be present in this film. The cast seems first rate and the trailers are exceptionally tense, large in scope and appear to have high production value. This is my most anticipated film of 2012.

chbare Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 The movie takes place in the same universe as Alien and occurs around three decades prior to the events of Alien. However, the movie has a stand alone story and plot that ties into the Alien DNA so to speak. The scope of this film appears quite large as opposed to the confined and self contained premise of Alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bieber Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I can't wait for that movie to come out, it looks awesome. I remember watching those movies and the Predator series growing up (for the record, the Alien vs Predator movie sucked). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctickat Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 When I first read this thread I thought it might be about fellow Prometheus Society members. Oh Well, I'll just wallow here in my 0.003% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B the EMT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 As I am unaware of my IQ level,and a member of neither, I have to ask: Which reqires the higher level to be allowed to join, Prometheus Society, or Mensa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctickat Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Prometheus, MENSA is the top 2%, they'll let anyone in there. Prometheus admits the top 0.003% or 1 in 30,000. Depends on the testing used but as an example of the WAIS-III scores, MENSA requires an IQ above 130, Prometheus is 189. For the record, I was kidding about being in Prometheus....I refuse to pay good money for someone to tell me how smart I am when I already know.
