MemberOvomorphApril 17, 2012was a bit curious...
is David 8 anatomically correct / functional in
comparison to that of a human male of his era?
April 17, 2012
I've only seen the one trailer. I assume David 8 is an earlier version of the androids the WY likes to send out along with human crews. Where are you seeing this image and I'll give you my opinion.
April 17, 2012
Well. I just can't [i]wait[/i] to see how this one develops.
It's already off to the kind of start of which Legends are born...

@abordodi: i am referring to the latest viral "David 8" video
that was released today. in theory, the viral campaign is painting
itself with truly broad strokes
i only wish Scott would tie in the Tyrell Corporation to this film,
it would help me to better understand what Weyland Industries is
capable of in regards to them being competing corporate entities,
and just how complex their androids are
this entire concept of truly lifelike androids is really ahead of it's time
wow...

Well they make "pleasure" models so I am assuming he has a weener if that's what you are asking. XD

@shardy; I am not joking, nor am I confusing it with Blade Runner. There is a sex model. :P
Check this link out, the Xenopedia Wikki has a ton of info. *(Me and Belladonna were going over it and she found the "Love Slave" model, trust her to find that! XD )

Dang, I dont have my copy of Alien playing in the background...
In that movie, one of the ladies asked another if they had ever slept with Ash.
This implies that androids (Ash at least) are endowed with functioning... bits.
April 17, 2012
@boinkerX, that was before that they knew Ash was a synthetic. Good observation though
April 17, 2012
@boinkerX; Ripley suspected he might be an android and asked Lambert if she and Ash has slept together.

@Svanya: thanx for the link, but i'm a dyed-in-the-wool ALIEN snob
so i don't lend ANY credence to "Xeno"/ Cameron / Avp / etc...

OK. Found it and saw the longer 2:37 version. Pretty cool viral gimic on Fox's part. He reminds me a bit of the Jude Law android in AI. I'd say that if he can shed a tear like that, he can probably produce other fluids vital for a realistic "experience" while the old man is at work. ;)

Without subtitles, I can't make out a word of what is being said.
April 17, 2012
@Abordoli; I just posted that same link 3 posts up. LOL!
*Edit: @Abordoli, ah OK, I misunderstood, you need a link that has subtitles?? I can try and find one for you.
Ok, got it! And a link to all the deleted scenes!
-Here is the Ripley, Lambert deleted scene: "After Dallas disappears and Ripley decides to blow up the ship, she tries to reassure Lambert. "I think it's only way," Ripley tells her. "I'm sorry, you know, it just seems like you're asking us to kill each other one by one," answers Lambert. "I promise you. If it doesn't look like it's going to work, I'll get us out of here." Ripley tells Lambert to hang in there, asking, "Have you ever slept with Ash?" Lambert replies, "No, I never got the idea he was particularly interested. Why?" Ripley ignores the question, telling her to figure out where they are now and to plot their course."
Here is the link to the deleted scene site so you can read them for yourself. :D

Weyland and Tyrell are not in the same Universe though Shardy.....and the only reference to anything close to that was a suggestion by Lindelof that the aesthetics of 'Bladerunner' played a part in the approach to 'Prometheus'.....
Besides, 'Bladerunner' takes place in 2019 in a distopia that's much further along in the colonization of other worlds than in the alien/prometheus universe.....fully human replicants in 'Bladerunner' predate Weyland's statement in 2023 that artificial people indistinguishable from the real thing are not yet a fact of existence......
maybe I'm missing your point...elaborate?

@craigamore: i understand that Weyland and Tyrell connection i hope
for really can't really work due to the 2 different timelines. the point of
my post is to try and determine just how much of a man* David was
designed to be, in other words, could David and his model type be a
romantic / sexual lover in much the was Pris was in Blade Runner
with that said, i stated in an earlier post, that the concept that is
presented here in the latest "David 8" viral video is profound to say
the least. and if you add a sexual / "love" component into the mix - -
then it takes to a far deeper level than basic android servitude
if that makes any sense...

I think it's far more interesting to speculate how anatomically correct he is on the inside rather than in regards to his possible naughty bits. After all, synthetics in the ALIEN universe have something analogous to veins/arteries, blood and a heart to pump it with... and they certainly have some sort of musculoskeletal system. I'm curious what other human-like internal organs might they have?
