Late to "Prometheus"

This one can't hold a candle to Alien. Note to self: If ever on a distant planet with a gigantic alien spacecraft bearing down on me wheel-fashion, flee along a path perpendicular to that of the gigantic alien spacecraft for the purposes of personal survival. Lots of other dumbth, and yes, I've seen the relevant YouTube video. cordially,

Oh, well, back to "Modern Family". "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

That didn't actually bother me, panic is harsh mistress and she had been pushed over the line. The stunningly bogus science in the earlier part of the movie bothered me more. I though David the android managed to salvage a lot of the movie though. His convoluted motivations and the actions they cause are much more interesting then the humans for the most part. Jay
