Trailerception

So far there has only been a teaser trailer for the movie Prometheous. Earlier this week they released another teaser trailer for the full length trailer coming out this weekend. This was met with a lot of "are you serious?!!" on the forums. It's the new thing apparently. I like the reference to Inception. They call it trailerception : a trailer of a teaser, of a trailer of a trailer!! Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the full length trailer as my hopes for this movie move back and forth.

Earlier this week a supposed fake script for Prometheous was put online. I read it. It was horrible in every way. If I saw that movie, I would never again say Ridley's name. Later in the day, it was deleted from imdb for unknown reasons. Who knows what that means. Then this morning a few pages from a supposed early draft of the screenplay got posted. Better, but still not good. Official writers tweeted that in fact it was fake.

Interestingly, I was watching a snippet of Alien behind the scenes stuff. Long story short, Jerry Goldsmith was none too happy with how his music ended up in the film from 79. He tells the story of spending all day composing a piece for the opening title sequence to which the execs gave the thumbs down. So he went back and gave them what they wanted, creepy, weirdd, and strange. He still gets praise for it to this day and he says it's just all wrong! It took 5 minutes to write that and...well I imagine he thinks it's garbage. Just another case of an artist whose praised for work that he has no love for.

In other bizness, I ran today and my calves and shins have been sore during my run from the getgo for the last 3 days. It doesn't increase in pain and goes away after I'm done. It's annoying. Not sure what is it yet, if anything.

I finally swam today in the pool. It's still cold, but just warm enough to bully myself in. I've been cleaning this damn thing all winter thanks to the trees in my neighbors yard. I'm swimming in this mofo every day damn it!
