You're thinking of Predators, where the humans are the aliens

You're right, drat that movie was bad. Saw it for free in the theater so no real loss but time I guess.

Is that the one with Fishburne or is that the new one where the lead antagonist blows his head off in a split-frame you only notice if you rewind it?

Me and the wife have this ongoing debate over who could conceivably beat The Predator. In her opinion, literally nobody or no thing could ever defeat him. If she doesn't eventually accept that the T-800 or Wolverine could easily defeat The Predator I might leave her.

Misawa would gently caress up the predator

Gary Busey would have killed the predator had he had just a little more time.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I never thought of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as a slasher. It's an exploitation film.

Now, the sequel, that's a tits-up/balls-out slasher.

I think that is a valid viewpoint; I used it as a reference point that several other slashers used, and there is a lot of capital C Criticism that views it the same way. So it’s kind of a proto-slasher, with the very first prototype (iirc) being Black Christmas, and the first one that really solidified all the ideas being Halloween.

But I was real loving high probably during all of that reading and writing so, idk

the Predator would try to cut Kobashi's arm off but the blade would just bounce harmlessly off his bone

i watched come back, little sheba, on the critter channel. i almost turned it off 15 minutes in because shirley booth's character was so annoying. thankfully it was written that way and she's supposed to be a pathetic woman beaten down by life. well done shirley. i didnt expect burt lancaster to say Sluts a bunch in 1952 but he did it, clear as ears. lovely stuff.

Prometheus rules, I loved that movie. Covenant was a giant disappointment for me, Michael Fassbender was great but also water is wet.

In addition to everything else already mentioned, I honestly prefer the 2018 Suspiria to the Argento one

I've only seen the 2018 version and I was so bitterly disappointed in the climax feeling so unimaginative after everything before it had built up suspense and this impending sense of dread so well.

Given how heavily the predator relies on its heat camera any sufficiently cold blooded enemy would crush it handily

True, the more Predator damages T-800, the greater it's disadvantage becomes.

lore man said predators taught previous human civilizations how to build the various pyramid structures, and that's why everything can kill a predator easily, by pissing on it while it cries racistly.

If they didn't sometimes lose they wouldn't trophy hunt do there must be stuff out there that can kill a Predator. I mean, Humans are the dominant species on the planet and we get taken out by things all the time. As far as a scorpion is concerned I'm the predator and I could totally lose a fight to it.

F13 Part I is a touchstone of a certain degree of quality; F13 Part II is legit great horror; Part VI is legit funny horror; all others require the buy-in of fandom.
