Very good at pretending to be a Pirate Hooker. Pretending.
‘Prometheus’ shot shows Space Jockey suits from the first ‘Alien’ Ridley Scott: “I was always amazed that no one asked who the hell the Space Jockey was. He wasn’t even called the Space Jockey. During the film they started to call it the Space Jockey. I don’t know who started that one off. I always thought it was amazing that no one ever asked who he was, and why was he there? What was all that about? I sat thinking about this for a while and thought, well, there’s a story! And the other four [films] missed it! So, here it is. And this one does actually raise all kinds of other questions, because if someone could, a being, could be as monstrously clever to create something like we experienced in the very first one – I always figured it’s a weapon, and I always figured that [the ship in the first Alien] was a carrier of weapons. Therefore, who is that, inside that suit? That wasn’t a skeleton, that was a suit. And if you open up the suit, what do you get inside it? And why were they going, where were they going?” It’s people! The Space Jockey’s are people*! Come on! Now it’s all figured out? This is one of those movies that I want to know NOTHING about. I want “QUELLE SURPRISE”! For 120 minutes, non-stop. I want smashed monocles, EVERYWHERE. *If they cast NeNe Leakes in this movie, as well as Glee. Imma be so mad, cos she would have been in two very popular franchises, and I will have been in sweatpants at 12:51pm on a Monday. Stop giving NeNe Leakes work until I have sorted my life out. You know what? She’s probably not in this movie. Probably not.
