Thread: Jedimiller Reviews PROMETHEUS!

There is a fat bloke with a very slimy hair cut looking at you from your computer screen . He wears sun glasses -- being blind is his only excuse .
He wears an infantile T-shirt which sub texts his IQ .
He is inarticulate -- hands never still and no sentence without a few , Er ,Er Ers .
I gave him five seconds but with the video timed at 30 minutes , I realised that a Dumb Arse always finds ways for others of the same sub species to graze with .
I was gone .

Same here - And to many annoying 'you know's in dialogue and lurching forward into the camera....

Jedi, you could have cut your review down to a couple of minutes. 30 minutes is way too long for a review.

Because of Makedde's Post I now realise that "You" are the video .
My comments would not have been so strident and caustic if I had realised earlier .
But presentation and first impressions are of paramount importance whatever your private preferences .
You must rehearse to achieve apparent fluency and the first 30 seconds are crucial -- to obtain attention and interest .

It is my first unrehearsed review...No notes or nothing. I know it was a bit long but I had to get it off my chest. Overall, I think I did fine for the first time.

I know Mak, I guess it's not really a review and I say that. it's more of a rant on aspects of the film. Religion, Atheism and Evolution. I wanted to make it 2 hours. lol.

And that's fine. I never said I was a great speaker. I can express myself better in writing.

The movie Prometheus is sh1t.

Never do anything unrehearsed as a beginner when there is a public . Only later , when you have acquired a skills set , can you make the move to impromptu .
Believe me . i went through the beginner's stage a long time ago and subsequently helped many starting out and also many with just a few notches on their belts .
It's not just "What" you say . It's "How " you say it and how believable and interesting you are .
Other key words are Style and Succinctness .
