It was'nt terrible, it just was'nt very good either. It was campy.

Can someone explain to me why Darkhorse doesn't take Fox to court for making such a fucking piece of shit film? I've had the displeasure of seeing short clips of German Shit Eating Porn with more essence.
Truly, if there is a reason I don't go to see too many movies any more, it's because the Film makers in Hollywood go to great lengths to ensure their products are up to their level of Fermented Cow Shit, thus turning me off like a 86 year Double Anal geriatric...

I'm going to watch the new film on Tuesday. Yay!

Antarctica? I thought Predators liked it hot. That was made pretty clear in the first two films: that they only appeared in the jungle at the hottest time of the year; and that LA was in the middle of an unseasonable heatwave.

In a flashback to "when Predators were our gods" Antarctica is somehow a steamy jungle chock full o' humans worshipping and building pyrimids and other new-agey stuff. Oddly, Predators are using the exact same spaceships in today as thousands of years ago and they even used the exact same equipment back then as in the first two predator movies.
So much for progress.

I liked the "Predator I" predator-mask and weapons better than 2. The forehead got too pink and crab-like in II, and the spear, net gun and hover disc struck me as slightly geeky. Also, the eyes and eye-pits were darker in 1.
And his roar was better in 1, it got so ridiculous in 2 when he was roaring at Danny Glover in the meat house and you could hear how they had inserted the elephant sound, an insect chirp and a lion's roar all at once. Meh.

I've got a general Predator-question, something I think hasn't been answered before. Poncho asked it inadvertedly in the first movie; why do they skin them? When the Predator had killed Billy, it merely ripped his spine and skull out and threw the rest away, so skinning doesn't seem to be a prerequisite to the head-claiming. Also, cleaning the guts out, huh? Could it be that it prepares to eat them? But Jim Hoppah seemed to have hung there for some time, untouched...

Psyche warfare to get the prey all riled up mabye.
The new hover disk thing is a Krull rip-off, so you'll get uber-geeky out of the movie if you like that sorta thing......
Predators are dumb: the main Pred kills a facehugger with his spinning disk like it was nothing worth noticing and then (you'll love this) TAKES OFF HIS HELMET to scribe some victory letters in his face (from alien blood) and so (suprise!) another facehugger jumps right on him and and skull-fucks an embryo into him. Mind you, these predators knew exactly what the aliens were and what to expect....
Duh.

Well, why shouldn't they? Their Alien prey didn't advance at all, and somehow the thought of Predator scientists struggling in skull-adorned white labcoats to perfect the Mark VI Thermal Imaging System doesn't appeal to me that much either. Somehow.

Thank god anime never tries to milk money out of a tired franchise by producing a shit product. And on the same lines, wasn't DBGT just super awesome?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
