They couldn't really say that migrants and keeping people in poverty would be a better option for keeping people in their place and cheaper for employers.
I am still annoyed that I can't jaunt like a Tomorrow Person or visit Moon Base Alpha.

" Fantastic. I used to live all the old black and white Sci Fi movies they showed on bbc2 (no not those two) years ago....dont make em like that !"
B&W now is an art statement so if they did make them again then it would be viewed as arthouse.  |

There have been so many remakes lately its only a matter of time. Forbidden Planet was awesome so I hope they leave that alone. |

I have… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to die…
Apparently Rutger Hauer ad libbed a lot of it. |

Truth is he didn't. He altered a few lines from the original script. It originally went:
I have known adventures, seen places you people will never see,
I've been Offworld and back… frontiers!
I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching the stars fight on the shoulder of Orion…
I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear.
I've seen it, felt it |

Its still one of the best lines in sci-fi film history.  |

"I'm surprised they haven't tried to remake it.
They will  "
There's a sequel in the pipeline. Ridley Scott is due to start filming once the second Prometheus movie is finished. The script is complete and apparently Harrison Ford has signed up. |

"I'm surprised they haven't tried to remake it.
There are so many director's cut versions that it just gets rolled out on a regular basis.
"
There's 5 versions.
US theatrical cut.
International theatrical cut
Directors cut
Final cut
Workprint cut
I have them all on blue ray, it's my favourite movie...

I haven't seen them on blu ray but I have seen all of them too. It is a film I can watch many times.

"Alien and Dune... both freaked me.
"
Alien...the classic I agree...couldn't get Dune.?
The Thing and the rather indie Pitch Black with an early vin diesel ? And I know it's controversial but the rather under rated John Carter ? |

"I used to like Blake's 7 
Ha that was classic though I fear watching it years later may jade my enjoyment !
Space 1999 ?"
I have the first 3 series of Blake's 7 on DVD and if you can look beyond the dodgy sets it still holds up quite well (IMHO anyway!) |

Theres a story that when Blakes 7 was filming in one of their usual BBC Quarry locations they heard voices. It was the Dr Who crew filming an episode. |

I was so looking forward to Prometheus but I agree, it was a bit of an anti climax. Still, it was good to see a film with Noomi Rapace in where she keeps her clothes on |

"Sorry blade runner is just boring.
Best Sci fi film in recent years was moon.
Dune however is one of my all time favourite films. "
Moon was excellent - simple premise but executed very well |

I can honestly say I didn't know who she was until I saw Prometheus. Never seen anything else she's been in either... |

Only a replicant would say that, you just wait till Deckard catches up with you.

Deckard is a replicant, that's what the unicorn dream is about and pointed out when Gant leaves the origami unicorn in the hallway when he (Deckard) finds Rachael. |

The original book is dreadful, in my opinion. |
