Goggins fought a predator and called it a "space human being". Then he got to be the first spine rip in a Predator movie since Predator 2.

Your forgot to mention that he says it while shanking the Predator since Goggins was a convict.

I miss the tales of the predator movie where the predators come back for Arnold and take him away. Arnold's son The Rock then would have to go to Danny Glover to find out about the predators. And it ends with The Rock fighting in a predator Colosseum on the predator planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AphxyjrH4SE Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jan 13, 2017 |

It was definitely a missed opportunity that they couldn't get Danny Glover for that role in Predators. That would have been such a cool little surprise.

With Shane Black making 'The Predator', let's hope he can work in a Danny Glover cameo somewhere.

Just to drift back to Aliens toychat for a moment, here's a well done review video of the recent Mantis Alien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHxQMb6_3kI I got mine a week or so ago and it's seriously crazy how well realized the concept is. NECA took what's arguably one of the goofier, more nonsensical concepts from the old Kenner toys and turned it into a design that's legit scary-looking. I genuinely wouldn't mind seeing that design show up in an Alien movie - it looks genuinely scary when fully lit against a white background, just imagine it skulking around in the dark. Similarly, the old Predator toys from the 90s have been getting modern updates and I've been nerding out really hard over them.           I mean as someone who became an Alien/Predator fan as a kid back in the day, I am absolutely blown away. If these things had existed back when I was 9, I would have lost my mind.

Oh the old toy had skulls sculpted onto his knee armor for who knows what reason? So does the new version. Old one had a pair of trophy fingers dangling from his chest armor? So does the new version.

I only had one Kenner Preds because I really hated the weird crazy designs as a kid. All I wanted was a regular Predator and they just didn't exist any more. This was it. Thing was seriously awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wsbb0PYSzg I did buy the NECA remake later on, for completely nostalgic reasons. But I have little interest in the other ways. Just too wacky and silly for me.

In Alien Resurrection why does Christie throw himself off the ladder? I get that he is heavy, but the alien was dead that was holding on to him, and he has the strength to get a knife out and cut the harness, why doesn't he shake his leg to remove the alien that's hanging on and then carry on climbing separately? He was free and clear?

A drop of acid went through like 3 levels of a spaceship. Christie got squirted in the mug with a big stream. That poo poo was going through to his brain

In Aliens you see people survive the acid but I maybe they figured the acid one intentionally spits would be of the super super strong variety you see in the facehugger in Alien. THAT said, I mean if he has the frame of mind to cut himself loose he could have pretty easily like shook his leg. This dude is some super hardcore mercenary guy and he's worried about his face being scarred up? I just mean like if the acid really was that strong his head would have completely melted away in seconds. Even when we saw it in theaters me and other folks were like why would he do that?

Alien acid is exactly as strong as the scene requires it to be; there is no consistency. In 'Alien' the facehugger burns through Kane's helmet and miraculously doesn't harm him at all (not even fumes!), and then 10 minutes later a drop of it eats through 3 decks. Drake takes a face full of acid in 'Aliens' and it scars him (and Hudson gets splashed on the arm and he's generally okay), but later on Hicks takes some acid to the chest plate and it gets obliterated in seconds (and practically puts Hicks in a coma) - and in AvPR, that blond teenage kid takes a face full of acid and it literally annihilates his head on contact. If you want a semi-  explanation, different acids can gently caress you up in different ways. There are acids that can do severe neurological damage if they get into your bloodstream, and hydrofluoric acid is a contact poison that can cause cardiac arrest.

Can you imagine, with all the stuff that Predator has probably hunted, he goes to some backwater planet to hunt game that to him is basically the equivalent of like what a deer would be to us, and he loving runs into Arnold? That laugh at the end is definitely a "can you believe this poo poo" laugh. Its like the same laugh Lovecraft characters do at the end of a story when the bizarre poo poo they've witnessed is too much for their broken brain.

That does seem consistent with the way the other Predators treat Danny Glover at the end of Predator 2, yeah. Mankind truly is the most dangerous game.

I like the idea that the predator is actually like a middle class dentist or something during the week back on his home planet. And everyone back at home is laughing at this moron for getting himself killed by some poor, dumb unfortunate animal whose head he was trying to stick on his study wall. The alien is doing what it does, but this silly prick wants photos kneeling next to his unsuspecting kills. I bet there is a selfie stick attachment in that arm computer thingy.

White Phosphorus posted:You realize how painfully bad Aliens is if you watch it right after Alien. It's fanfiction written by a 13 year old boy. I loved the movie as a kid though. O.K. Nevermind. I finally watched Aliens on the big screen for the first time and it was awesome! The theatrical release is a much tenser experience than the meandering special edition. Also the constant camera motion, darkness, and red lighting looks like a pixellated poo poo mess in digital formats, but looks great in theater. Also I like Alien 3 in all it's forms. That autopsy scene. So dark. So gritty.

It's understandable that the fact that some Predators hunt humans might be the most relevant trait to us, a game species, but how did we go from that to "all Predators are hunters, all of the time?"
