So, I saw Prometheus today, and here are my main thoughts on it:

Idris Elba and Charlize Theron are both awesome in everything they do, and should be in all the movies forever;

Alien landscapes are freakin’ gorgeous even when they’re tearing apart;

Michael Fassbender does CREEPY AND HORRIBLE exceptionally well;

Fandom is incapable of not loving the creepy and horrible character provided he’s played by a hot dude;

Somebody needs to write me that Idris/Charlize fic I didn’t know I needed until today. I’ll take Vickers/Janek if RPS doesn’t appeal. Really, just get the hotness together.

Alas, the odds of me ever finding Mr. Fassbender hot probably just dropped into the negative numbers. *shudder*

Agreed with everything except your last point.  *G*

A couple of days ago when someone posted that Saturday Night Live tweet where they said “Did everyone identify with David or was it just us?”, I said “I’ll level with you guys: I identified with Vickers, with a little bit of Janek.”  I ALSO LOVED THEM TO COMPLETE DISTRACTION, OMG.

SPOILERZ. I saw Prometheus with my husband Laurence and another couple we’re friends with, Keith and Yvette. Afterward, discussing it, I said, “I still liked David even after all the creepy awful stuff he did. I don’t know if that’s because I liked that actor already, or what.”

Laurence said, “David was basically the protagonist, because he actually did stuff. He didn’t just react. Plus, everybody else had at least one extremely dumb moment—”

Keith: “EXCEPT IDRIS. THE MAN.” (Keith is English, and a particularly keen Idris Elba fan.)

Laurence: “Even he dropped the hatch for that dead possessed guy! And Noomi Rapace was like ‘We’re going to explore a completely unknown planet, let’s not bring any weapons!’ And Charlize Theron ran in a straight line…”

Me: “CUT HER SOME SLACK, SHE WAS PANICKING”

Laurence: “I’m just saying. David was doing sketchy shit, but at least he was competent about it. He was the only one who seemed to have goals that he worked toward. So it was easy to sympathize with him.”

Keith: “I liked him too. But I liked all those main four even when they did dumb things.”

Yvette: “I thought everybody was good in it. But any time a woman has a caesarean and then gets up and starts running, it automatically becomes a comedy.”
