I disliked Prometheus immensely.
Those who tried to applaud it as anything other than trash are the reason I took to IMDb the way I did
Awful movie and the real reason that Tony Scott took his own life
Ding Dong

Yes noticed a lot of people are obsessed about trolling Prometheus.
I liked that movie.

4 may feel the most like a cheesy B movie, but it did something different and was far more creative than 3. The cast of characters, though not great, are also more memorable than 3.
I'd rank them- Alien
- Aliens
- Resurrection
- AvP1
- Prometheus
- Alien 3
- AvP2
- Covenant

Dazed: But seriously, why DID John Hurt dangle himself over an alien egg?
That's a very good question. The scene is best appreciated in a home theater with surround sound system and 4K Blu-ray. My interpretation is that
Kane
acted recklessly because he didn't know any better. It was not established whether or not extraterrestrial life of any kind had been discovered in that fictional universe of
Alien
up to that point. It may be that Kane was both scary and excited and in that moment his curiosity just got the better of him. After all, Xenobiology, even if it which existed, wasn't his specialty, since he was the exec officer of a freight ship. I may be wrong, though. In my opinion this is just my opinion. IMO.
Dazed: Also why didn't they follow the quarantine procedure like Ripley wanted?
Another excellent question. You must take into consideration that they may have never had to follow the quarantine procedure before due to the nature of their jobs. Apparently, that was the first time they met with a non terrestrial life form. Regardless, though, as you pointed it out yourself, Ripley's first reaction was indeed to follow the correct procedures. However, they didn't know at that time that the android, Ash, was openly sabotaging their safety because he had already been instructed by
the company
to bring the lifeform back. The remaining of the crew followed suit apparently both because they feared for their friends' life and because
Dallas
, their captain, was among those in need of assistance outside the ship. As to why didn't they let Kane quarantined afterwards, think about how people have been acting during the current world pandemic. Remember, they wren't in any kind of specialized expedition. They were normal unprepared people facing an extraordinary situation. IMO.

A cheat sheet for people too broke to watch the movie?

No not lately. I was watching some of Raised by Wolves cable series that was created by Ridley Scott. I found it for free.
