oh for fucks sake : Alien vs Predator 2 has been announced

there were rumors about AVP2 being set in Texas or some bullshit like that with the climax set in a K-mart or something...sounded phoney

they should've gone with the peter briggs screenplay that was floating around for years before fox found someone (anderson)to come up with a more "feasible" (i.e. cheaper) premise.

the briggs screenplay was based more-or-less directly on the original AVP comic, set on a far away outer space colony.

Leave Death Race alone. You can't touch Corman.

That said, AVP sucked three-headed goats in hell, so AVP2 can only be better.

How about Alien vs. Predator in a Death Race on the Event Horizon. That works for me.

AVP1 was terrible, a complete plane crash of a movie. But as someone mentioned above it was so bad that the second one can only be better, can't it ??

Can it really be the daftest thing about a movie involving beings from other worlds knocking the shit out of each other?

The daftest thing is how the heroine just gets stranded at the end without a big coat on. Do you think she managed to catch the last bus out of Antarctica?

Event Horizon is actually great fun.

ALIENS FIGHTING PREDATORS AGAIN sounds okay to me. Especially if there's an ALIATOR/PREDALIEN hybrid involved.

Praline?

Resident Evil was a poor film, but that was never the point: it is fantastic good fun. I have seen the first minutes of RE2, up to the point where Milla flies through the stained glass window on a motorbike, which frankly is everything I wanted from the film. It can only get better, I imagine.

AvP was pretty shit, but in an enourmously enjoyable way. I will likely see AvP2.

Mortal Kombat I have never seen.

huh!

bullshit movie really, unless you love Aliens and Predators (i do), and want to see them pwn one another (i do). as anything else, it's shite though.

1. No humans in the movie. Long Tarkovsky-style takes.

2. It's 5 min long and uploaded to youtube.

ROFLLLLE!!

oh no way

i feel like this is someone's really high concept dv home movie and it makes me kind of sad about current/future democratic ideals

and movie ideals

OH GOD THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE!!!

The xenomorphs have a very particular reproduction cycle, and this movie willfully ignores it. Agh.

yeah, it was pretty bad.

i enjoyed it though!

**SPOILER**the life cycle wasn't technically changed; according to an interview with the filmmakers they were establishing the pred-alien thing as a young queen before it sets up a nest and produces eggs.**END SPOILER**

it's a really brainless flick. the alien-predator carnage is good though.

there's a part early in the film where the hybrid beast bitchslaps one of her alien minions. i rofl'd (not sure that's what they were going fo though...).

**SPOILER**the life cycle wasn't technically changed; according to an interview with the filmmakers they were establishing the pred-alien thing as a young queen before it sets up a nest and produces eggs.**END SPOILER**

But the queen makes eggs, not soldier xenomorphs!!!

this movie was no fun at all.

well i don't agree that it was "no fun", but i'm not going to spend any time defending it, lol. it was not a good movie.

this was not nearly as terrible as i'd been lead to believe! it might have been the rum & coke i smuggled in, but i had a great time.

the alienator was sort of dumb though. i mean, they incubate in their hosts, not make sweet love with them, right?

i liked that (as far as horror movie conventions go) they didn't go easy on the pregnant women, babies, and love interests.

i don't ask much of alien vs predator movies. :/

me neither, which is why i enjoyed it despite it being really stupid.

my faith in there being another actual good Alien film died with Alien Resurrection 10 years ago, so i get what i can from these films.

My cousins and I just kept saying "I hear there's a predalien!" repeatedly over Christmas, but we didn't go see this.

The most important question is whether either the Predator, Alien, or PredAlien was ever referred to as Mike or Markus onscreen.

it was a missed opportunity not to have the little alien mouth come out w/extra mandibles.

hahaha tooo tru

I thought the predalien was ok. Not too much really to distinguish it from other aliens other than the look.

I did like the main predator character in this though. He was pretty cool. Easily my favorite thing about the movie.

rip main predator :(

wasnt there a predalien in the last one

at the very end

giger wept

Why is this movie so stupid?

I'm trying to imagine other franchises tanking this deliberately: in the 7th Hulk movie, Bruce Banner is gonna eat a can of spinach so he can fight Rhino at Wrestlemania. Tibor Takács will direct.

oh is this out on dvd yet? checking netflix

Bruce Banner is gonna eat a can of spinach so he can fight Rhino at Wrestlemania. Tibor Takács will direct.

^^^would watch

I've got a bad feeling about watching this movie over and over just to identify all the franchise references. GET TO THE CHOPPER.

the inevitable Alien 'reboot' is sure to come soon

this is now on dvd!

i moved it to the top of my netflix queue earlier! i will have to finally send back that tarkovsky film we've had for like 2 months and never watched :/ DON'T JUDGE ME

I've done that for tarkovsky, AvP 2 is gonna get top priority though.

According to Netflix I currently have:
NewsRadio: Seasons 1 and 2: Disc 1
Yasujiro Ozu's Good Morning
General Idi Amin Dada

AvP2 has prioritaaaaah

this was a great drunken theater experience but i probably won't watch it again (as opposed to AvP1, which i've seen more times than i'm going to admit).

heh so i rented the "unrated" version...it's actually a tad better than the theatrical release. or at least there's a couple of scenes added back in that it make it less choppy. still very gory and totally brainless.

It still goes nowhere nearer explaining the beginning of Alien 3 DAMMIT

the inevitable Alien 'reboot' is sure to come soon

alien begins! with alien training sequences

an Alien reboot movie would have been excellent about 10 years or so ago. Not now, not now that all alien movies these days are made by fecking idiots.

make that at least 15 years ago

alien begins! with alien training sequences

I like how, in the first movie, the choice of the human characters to (eventually) side with the Preds ends up suggesting that humanity is more able to reconcile its own cruelty and pointless sport-hunting than its own ceaseless, insect-like procreation. See also hierarchical immigration rhetoric. "Those Predators, they're not so unlike us after all, and their well-developed hunting technology must require solid, stable family life and good education! But Aliens! There goes the neighbourhood!"

i think in real life batman would have pwned both alien and predator since they're not real.

air-tight logic!

i still think they should make archie vs predator

I have archive vs punisher comic

Who wins?

The archive is sufficiently punished.

this unfortunately really sucked.

yes, the aliens franchise is now sadly lost to the nerd boys who think that video game cuts scenes make 'great movies'

i liked the first av:p one a lot. this was just lousy. not to mention it was so dark that it was impossible to watch on a small screen and i couldn't tell the aliens from the predaliens from the predators half the time.

everyone looks the same in the dark.

blood, on the other hand, is still bright red in the dark, and underwater to boot.
too many people, not enough predaliens.
