<p>“‘Prometheus’ elicits ‘Alien’ memories for viewers who have them, but works on its own, too, as a model of a contemporary (and, as is the contempo mode, long-winded) sci-fi horror pic.” – Lisa Schwarzbaum,  <a href=토토사이트 Entertainment Weekly.

“Strikingly beautiful, expertly paced, vividly detailed and scary as hell, it holds you in its grip for its entirety and doesn’t let go. You’ll squeal, you’ll squirm – at one point, I was curled up in a little ball in my seat in a packed screening room – and you’ll probably continue feeling a lingering sense of anxiety afterward. That’s how effective it is in creating and sustaining an intensely suspenseful mood.” – Christy Lemire, Associated Press.

“The virtuosity on display makes the weakness of the story – the screenplay is by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof – all the more frustrating. I’ll avoid spoilers here, but “Prometheus” kind of spoils itself with twists and reversals that pull the movie away from its lofty, mind-blowing potential. Geeks and dreamers will hold onto scraps of splendor and wish for more.” – A.O. Scott, New York Times.

“‘Prometheus’ damn near lives up to the unsustainable hype, at least at the level of cinematography, production design, special effects and pure wow factor.” – Andrew O’Hehir, Salon.com.

“Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ is a magnificent science-fiction film, all the more intriguing because it raises questions about the origin of human life and doesn’t have the answers. It’s in the classic tradition of golden age sci-fi, echoing Scott’s ‘Alien’ (1979), but creating a world of its own. – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.

“This project started life as an intended prequel to ‘Alien’ but morphed into something else. Unfortunately, the closer it comes to a climax, the more you feel the elements being lined up to set the stage for a sequel to this film, most of all in a coda that feels like a craven teaser trailer for the next installment.” – Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter.

there’s a strike at the station” “Those stories weren’t being written, and they certainly weren’t being published in poetry or mainstream publications,” said photographer Lyle Owerko. “So what better way than to communicate a message through sound, which has been done, you know, through the history of music? “The boombox as an image represents community,” he said. “It represents defiance. It represents an outgoing nature. It represents I need to be seen, paid attention to, and defined.” Owerko has his own collection of boomboxes. Their images and stories are documented in his new book, “The Boombox Project.” “You hear stories of back in the day, like on the beach, or people sitting on the subway, going to the beach, and they’re all listening to their own boomboxes, and they all tune them in together, and get that same song going,” Owerko said, “so that it’s like a whole democracy of sound.” Of course, not everyone wanted to join this sonic community … The boombox had its detractors, a sentiment popularized in the 1986 film “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” when Spock used the Vulcan grip to paralyze a boombox-wielding punk. But it was too late – the boombox was everywhere. And it wasn’t just an inner-city thing, says Owerko: “The boombox is borderless. “You know, it extended around the globe, you know, and it was wherever people wanted to listen to music – whether it was a beach cafe, in a mechanic’s shop, in an artist’s studio.” Today the boombox is regarded as a symbol of rebellious spirit and remains a pop culture icon. And though it’s still seen, it’s no longer heard. Looks like the big bad boombox got drowned out . . . by the little bitty Walkman. The boombox was on the wrong side of history, getting bigger as people were plugging into smaller and smaller devices – so small that nowadays, they fit in the palm of your hand. “So this ability to be in your own little bubble and hear music, you know, still get great sonics but just right into your ear as opposed to everybody else’s, it was good for some people and bad for others,” said Fab5Freddy. And though it might be gone, it’s always important to once in a while hit pause. Then rewind. And pay respect.
