Prometheus Unbound: What The Movie Was Actually About

[kelber at mindspring.com]

The Lindelof interview really pinpoints the problem.  Scott and Lindelof seriously believed that they were in the same league as Kubrick and Clarke?  Let's throw in assorted Big Questions for depth; some exploding bodies for Alien fans; gratuitous references to good movies to show that we know about that stuff; a hot, corporate bitch, 'cause our dumb audience needs some stock tropes; and a heaping serving of faux-religion.  Something for everyone works, right?
