let's talk about the little things I am enjoying seeing crop up in Prometheus discussion:
1) Crystal skull/von Daniken/etc. tie-ins
2) my association of the apparently "ampules" to canopic jars
3) my terming of the Engineers as Titans/Giants
Basically, history and art history and mythology all tied up with science fiction. SO INTERESTING.
2 & 3 particularly because everyone I'm seeing is terming them differently. Interesting associations.
Also,
dancecat89 turning to me at the end and saying "I feel like I should have seen the Alien movies before I saw this one". Recorded for eternity.
Also-also, the weird tentacular beast that Shaw's baby turned into, I COULD NOT stop thinking about the movie Evolution. God damnit that movie is hilarious.
