Why is this posted on Hacker News? It has nothing to do with the tech industry.

Back whence ye came nessie!

Per HackerNews' guidelines (http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html): "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." There's plenty of news on HN that's not directly related to the tech industry.

I thought the article fairly interesting in expounding some of the themes in 'Prometheus', and at least for me, garnered some interesting discussions with friends

It's like rhizome said, "Here, on Reddit".

Here, on Reddit, and I'm sure many other places, why does this need to happen on opening night? 100th Monkey-blogger theory, that the more people experience the same thing, the more likely someone is going to post to the aggregators about a blog post about demystifying something about it? At least it isn't completely like Reddit where people are putting spoilers in the posting title.

Because it wasn't opening night where it was written - it opened in the UK a week ago.

Even worse!

Fair enough, could've been posted later. I just found the article intriguing and a good basis for some interesting discussions I had with friends after watching the film

Did you have those discussions outside of the movie theater while people were walking in?
