Look, Shame was not a big movie, but it did help to make Michael Fassbender a big star, or at least it helped the rest of the world see that Michael Fassbender was a big star, or at least, that he had a big...star.

SO. While Prometheus may or may not be a prequel to Alien, it's clearly related - hello, Space Jockey! And much has already been made of the sexual anxieties that are addressed/exploited in the Alien franchise. That phallic head on the original beastie.

The nightmare fallopian tube/Ripley rejects the biological imperative scene.

(Sorry about the music.)
GIVEN ALL THAT, it's more than a little harrowing to see Michael Fassbender exploring a dark, quasi-organic tunnel dwarfs even a man of his stature.

If anyone wants us, we'll be admiring the size of the guns in this Expendables 2 poster.
