Re: Is every other image considered cherry picking?
[quote name="HOT TUB TIME MACHINE JURY"][quote name="fabio"]It's not an arbitrary calling out. The whole thing came off as a lazy way to contrast warm living humans with the cold sterile ship. <i>Alien</i> did this with phenomenal set design: a sterile ship given human touches by the crew decorating it like a trucker cab (the orders to sacrifice the crew came from the most pristine room in the ship!). The difference between that and Prometheus reflects the entire state of big budget movies now with actual artistic talent replaced by lazy digital post production.[/quote] Alien, the antithesis of the lazy orange and blue movie, and example of true artistic talent, before post production ruined movies. <img src="http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/105/29531744.jpg"> It did have a lot of bright all-white scenes in the Nostromo interior (which I'm sure made some guy on ARPAnet scream about how every lazy movie since 2001 does that!) and the oranges don't hit as hard thanks to the overall desaturation, but it's not the thesis-proving panacea you remember. <img src="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8200000/Alien-1979-alien-aliens-8255333-655-291.jpg"> <img src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/1979_Alien/1979_alien_002.jpg"> <img src="http://images.allmoviephoto.com/1979_Alien/1979_alien_008.jpg"> <img src="http://blog.newscom.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/apaphotos313042-alb433074.jpg"> Because you're crazy.[/quote]
