    [embedplusvideo height=”388″ width=”640″ editlink=”http://bit.ly/12FmHsl” standard=”http://www.youtube.com/v/8G0LYfxVq0s?fs=1″ vars=”ytid=8G0LYfxVq0s&width=640&height=388&start=&stop=&rs=w&hd=0&autoplay=0&react=1&chapters=&notes=” id=”ep4736″ /] I went on a bit of an old school Kung Fu binge this weekend, checking out both Shaw Brothers and non-Shaw Brothers clips over on YouTube out of nostalgia. I ended up stumbling across Master of the Flying Guillotine, which I never up until now had seen…

  • Movie Review: The Social Network

    Although The Social Network has been out for a few years now, I decided to write a review (or perhaps my interpretation) of the movie. I had been meaning to write a piece on The Social Network for sometime now, but either was hampered by time, lack of inspiration or just plain forgot. Also, the…

  • Prometheus 2: Thoughts About New Movie

    Recently, there’s rumors circulating that Ridley Scott has signed on Rik Barnett to the Prometheus 2 series. Supposedly, Rik will have some connection to Shaw. In what capacity, it’s hard to say. I’m not sure if this means that they officially have a script now. Last I heard, Fox and Ridley Scott were struggling to…

  • Prometheus 2: Conversation Between Keith and Vickers

    Another scene I completed that I enjoyed which entails a conversation between Keith and Vickers in her private quarters. As Keith goes to the mess hall (unescorted), he encounters Vickers.   Vickers: “Come with me to my section.” Keith consents but is stopped by two guards outside of her quarters. “Leave please.” Both guards obediently…

  • Prometheus 2: Will We Get More Insight into the Aliens Themselves?

    One question I’m hoping that will be answered is if we’ll see more insight into the aliens in the upcoming Prometheus 2 sequel. I’ve already provided my say into this manner in my own script (which I won’t talk about here) but for future writers (in case I don’t get the job…which I doubt regardless),…

  • Prometheus 2 Board Room Scene

    I just worked out the dialog part for this board room scene that talks about launching a new Prometheus expedition. Check it out: Board meeting at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation on Earth. There’s a holographic read out of the annual business report that goes over the company’s revenues, profit margins and growth expectations. The board contains…

  • Alien/Prometheus – Why Did Ridley Scott Re-release the Egg Scene in Theaters?

    As I continue to work on my outline for Prometheus 2, one question hit me today: why did Ridley Scott re-release the controversial egg scene in theaters (i.e. the Director’s Cut)? I ask this because the film was continuously re-released on DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. I felt that all the re-releases were satisfying enough for hardcore…

  • Prometheus: What Does David Know?

    In my quest to write up a reasonable Prometheus 2 script, I constantly struggle in figuring out all the questions from the first movie. Yesterday, I attempted to examine the Ampule Room in trying to flesh out what it possible could represent. Today, I want to delve into David’s character a little since he’ll obviously…

  • Prometheus: What Was the Ampule Room Exactly?

    As I try to get back into writing the script for Prometheus 2, I find myself struggling to connect what I’m doing back to the original movie. There were numerous questions left in the movie that many people want answered. I covered some speculation in a previous blog, but I think one of the biggest…

  • The Hobbit: Out on iTunes and A Quick Review

    As usual, I’m skipping the hype at movie theaters and went straight to my iTunes player for the movies I want to see. In this case, it’s the long anticipated Peter Jackson prequel of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Currently planned as a triology, Peter Jackson is attempting to drag out more content from a…
