For Finnish audiences, or those who understand spoken Finnish: Peter von Bagh and Jouko Turkka spent a night in 1989 discussing Charlie Chaplin, here you can listen to all 3 and half hours of the program in three parts. Erittäin antoisaa kuunneltavaa!
5 Ways to Improve Prometheus (Spoilers)
I recently watched Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, and while I did enjoy some of the movie, overall I felt underwhelmed as there was so much wasted potential. Somewhere in Prometheus is a really great science fiction film, but sadly what we get instead is a mostly lackluster homage to the Alien franchise. The technical elements of the movie and the performances were very good, so I’ll mainly be commenting on the plot, as the failings of Prometheus, in my opinion, rest in the screenwriting.
Lots of spoilers, so read on only if you’ve already seen the movie or don’t mind!
