Did you know that you don't have to watch it?
Celebrities want you to "know" them. That's why they share so much of themselves with fans. It drives people to buy more tickets, purchase more books, etc. Trust me, very few of them would take a moment's offense.
Even if you're Andy Griffith? ;-)
Agreed. Obviously, something went VERY wrong with David!
I personally thought it was definitely a missed opportunity: 1.) To not use MUTHUR more than a non-descript computer voice, just telling the crew standard data. What was great about "Alien" was that MUTHUR was simply following programmed orders, but the audience was challenged about whether they thought the computer was malicious, or even HAL 9000-like evil/psychotic/whatever. 2.) I personally don't think MUTHUR sounded like the original MUTHUR. I think they could've Autotuned this actress' voice or something to get it closer. As someone who is fascinated at the prospect of Artificial Intelligence, in both real life and in the movies, I was disappointed, especially when this sounded like something very cool to be in the movie.
More revenue for Fox, the producers, the filmmakers, etc. I think it is also because Ridley Scott has strayed pretty fully into George Lucas territory, where he wants to endlessly tinker with his previous creations.
My take is that David is a full-on psychotic who can seemingly love Shaw one second, then cut her open the next.
As anti-Arab and anti-Muslim as this movie is, the book is supposedly worse.
The Jews should have been happy about having millions of their people spared from further annihilation. Instead, they demanded a state and got it.
John McCain's brother? Hilarious! Next, we'll be hearing from John McCain's manicurist.
Both Hanks and Newman are incredibly wrong for their roles. Absolute miscasting. It's interesting, because both Daniel Craig and Jude Law are absolutely perfect in their roles!
Hanks just plain, flat out not play a ruthless killer like this. Newman isn't believable in his role either.
