Prometheus or How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Watch the Damn Alien Prequel

If it's connected to Alien like Jackie Brown is to Out of Sight, then fine. Still being able to follow a narrative and tell a story that just so happens to be in the same universe/continuity of another movie.

But who am I kidding? I'm going to see Prometheus even if it turns out director Ridley Scott, screenwriter Damon Lindelof and crew were bullshitting us with those "We swear it's not an Alien prequel!" quotes from awhile back. I'm just looking forward to Scott returning to the science fiction arena for the first time since Blade Runner. However more info is suggesting that in fact we’re looking at a full-on Alien prequel.

According to Sky Movies, the space jockey from Alien (and long said to have a role) will play a part in Prometheus. Adding to the coolness factor is the revelation it's being designed under the supervision of H.R. Giger and will be done as an eight-foot animatronic.

Then there's this spoilerific comment from their source(s):

"By the way, people are going to be in for a shock when they sit down to watch Prometheus and there’s an enormous semi-human head piloting a spaceship."

Considering those rumors of forced male-on-male action from awhile back, a giant head isn't that weird an idea.
