I'm not getting the hype. The trailer really doesn't excite me. Do you need to be a fan to really get it? I'll watch it because Ridley Scott is awesome but not hyped or expecting great things.
Ordered our tickets for the 9.30pm showing at the Metro centre. Excited as fuck. Spent most of today sitting in the garden with Kopparberg, pizza and discussing Alien and Prometheus. Great day.
I'm hyped for it because it's Ridley Scott doing a sci-fi movie.
Alien and Blade Runner are masterpieces.
Thats all I need to get hyped. I enjoyed the trailer too.
He's also assembled a great cast for the movie.

Ridley Scott's recent output has made me very sceptical indeed.
I'm seeing it as soon as I possibly can. Rewatched Alien in the first time in forever, so fucking hyped.
Viva, it's Ridley Scott returning to the thing he is awesome for! He's made a lot of average to dross films but Alien is as good as any film ever made.
Thank God the guys in charge of that in Latin America learned that subtitles > dub. We only get dubbed versions of Disney animated/2d films (Pixar included) but they have an amazing dub team.
I think we're going to do a marathon of Ridley Scott films before we see Prometheus.
We have Blade Runner on Blu Ray so thats deffo getting watched in the next few days.
Alien and the Direcrors Cut of Kingdom of Heaven will also be watched.
I haven't seen KoH yet but I have directors cut on Blu Ray.
Robin Hood was fucking dire though.
you arent making things any better
They dub everything.
But usually that doesnt delay the release, i think they were just afraid of releasing it to close to the Euros. The dub thing, well you get used to it. It's kinda hit or miss, but for some films i even prefer the dubbed version.

Ireland and England are in the Euro's too but the film is being released on the 1st of June for us.
Seems like a strange double standard.
Holy shit that ITV advert with England winning every tournament as a build up to us winning Euro 2012 makes me physically sick. Disgusting and shameful. I'm truly offended. Has the media done anything worse than this in terms of building up hype? Cos I don't remember anything quite as awful.
Well since the 2006 World Cup Fan Fests are a really big thing in Germany. Everytime Germany plays in a big tournament hundreds of thousand gather in city squares / stadiums to watch the game together. It's a basicaly a giant party and extremely popular, especially with the young folgs. Maybe thats the reason..
Another reason might be that watching movies in a cinema just isnt that popular here. Avengers, for example, grossed just 24m compared to 32m in France and 71m in the UK.
Turns out that Graeme Souness, while Blackburn manager, received a payment of £30,000 from an offshore tax-free 'employee benefit trust' run by Rangers. Five weeks after Souness requested the payment from the trust, he completed the signing of Tugay and then later Barry Ferguson and Jean-Alain Boumsong, spending over £17 million in total on Rangers players.
The BBC has seen files which showed that HMRC suspected Mr Souness's payment could have been illegal in relation to the transfer of Tugay, but it found no additional documentation to verify it.
Mr Souness declined to respond to BBC Scotland's allegations.

ROFL just looked it up on YouTube. That advert is the best thing ever! It's amazing how they ran out of meaningful events they could change after 96.

Oh dear. This isn't good.
Depends on the amount of sympathy you have towards Souness, really.

Doesn't sound good, although this payment he received the maximum tax he'd pay on it would be £15,000 (assuming he was an additional rate tax payer which at the time he would have been) seems odd to not just declare it.
Although he got 3 decent players for Blackburn out of it so I don't think he got ripped off at all.
Waiting for this USA v Scotland game to start at 1:30am is bizarre. I think I know how it feels to be an American or Aussie watching the EPL now.
But yeah, I wouldn't complain if I was a Rovers fan getting Tugay out of it! (Maybe not Ferguson)
Not paying tax was kind of a thing for all David Murray related stuff at the time, really. It was probably his call rather than Souness', but the fact that the payment was made at all is more suspect.

)The pre-match commentator just said Barry Bannan had a good year "despite his team being relegated", lol.
Man, I just remembered that Alex McLeish managed a Scotland squad that beat France twice in a row and drew with Italy. What was happening there? :lol
When this Levein disaster squad fails at another qualifying campaign we might get him back.. :|
