I've been waiting a little over 48 hours now & am getting ready to cancel my order. It appears they are all sent out.

Boxoffice.com's current prediction is a $55 million opening. That's a solid number for a R-rated sci-fi original movie.
Wanted has the highest R-rated June opening with $50.9 million.

While I have not read the entire Wikipedia article, I have seen enough tidbits from reviews and such to determine that we have pretty much put the pieces on our own. Apparently:

I watched Alien last night and it is quite tame as far as gore goes. Which is fine with me. I still jumped several times even though I have seen the movie a dozen times. Gore doesn't equal good horror.

^ Most of Alien is now shown uncensored on sci-fi and FX type networks nowadays. The only stuff they edit is the language. Same with Aliens.

So apparently there's a new BBC interview where Scott claims that he was encouraged to cut the film down and alludes that we may see a longer version on home video. If this is true I am both royally pissed yet at the same time kinda relieved after digging into the reactions so far. Goddammit Ridley, again?? Why don't you put your fucking foot down on this kinda shit?

Because most studios put runtime restrictions in place before a frame of footage is even shot. Clearly Ridley has never learned the art of telling stories economically.

Ridley knows the score. He pretty much works knowing full well what the expectations are and what is needed in order to make the most $$$
Would love a link to that interview btw

I think he's always been content to work within the studio system, and the trend of getting to do an additional version for home viewing (which studios are more than happy to market) just makes the decision that much easier. It's a sign of maturity imo. Filmmakers who choose to be hard to work with don't last long.

At the same time, it means a potential knock to the initial reaction, as movies like Kingdom of Heaven were not well liked until the DC came out. I would love it if a DC of Prometheus would make the movie significantly better, but I'd also be annoyed that I was made to sit through an inferior version first.

What I'm getting from the reviews so far is basically that the script is fuzzy due primarily to it being overly ambitious. I can live with that all day long, especially is it's a situation where a DC will come along showing Ridley's full vision. Everything else associated with the film...acting, directing, effects, imagery....sound like they've more or less been knocked out of the park. As I recall from way, way back in the day, the script for Blade Runner was considered more than slightly confusing.
