I don't remember most of them establishing anything. They were very high shots of the city's tops and its advertising, like Bladerunner. So more like transitions. But they weren't literally reused. But after seeing one, you've seen them all.

Lone Ranger was not a Pirates movie. People don't watch them for Johnny Depp, but for Captain Jack. And the people making those movies certainly does not matter to the audience since highest grossing and second highest grossing Pirates movies were directed by different people.

It felt to me that it started out as "de-mythed" but then it got more outlandish and over the top as things went on and then before you know it you have The Rock flipping a goddamn horse. Was good movie.

I'm having a hard time thinking of a time, but are there any instances where it was known for sure that an early leak of movie seriously hurt box office numbers?

I'm not talking about "this movie was going to do bad anyway, but the studios tried to pin the blame on the pirates" stuff which I'm fairly sure happened.

Didn't the leaked unfinished copy of X-Men: Origins: Wolverine hurt its run by 1) a LOT of people watched and said "eh, pretty much seen it" and 2) allowing the public to see what a dumpster fire in progress it was?

Goons are super in-touch with public tastes, that's why Pirates of the Caribbean 4 was a massive flop and Scott Pilgrim was one of the most successful films of all time.

Depending on what you mean, I can get on board for this.

The Predator movie where they were playing Survivor The Television Programme but also "hey we have criminal histories let's see who kills who" was a hoot. Like Scream but the garage door is controlled by a guy with PTSD.

Even the old AvP movie wasn't too bad given what it had to work with. Bishop/Weyland/Lance Henriksen was helped make it approachable. Not great but the end where they play the aliens against the predators was inevitable? And a :female: as a critical element here? Nice touch I guess. Not super great but there are worse ways to do franchises.

I seriously want a high octane Predators vs Aliens movie based on the arcade game...but with extras.

The Rock, Jason Statham, the Raid dudes, Keanu, Optimus Prime, Robocop, and a female Terminator with a permanent scowl who is a Judge vs Xenomorphs. From Earth to the Stars then Hell. Xenomorphs infesting demons.

Jason Statham Fast and Furiousing an armored Optimus Prime through Xenomorph infested Hell while the Raid dudes are kung fuing any Xeno that tries to get in, Keanu, Robocop, Terminator and Predator being turrents shooting Xenos on the way climaxing in the Rock exploding from the carrier to Rock Bottom an Alien Demon Queen.

I haven't seen it in a long time, but IIRC Predators has a little mini-bit toward the end where the nu-Arnold teams up with the smaller predator to take down the alpha dude. Maybe that was limited to him releasing the smaller guy from captivity, I forget.

Same.

I'm sure people have said this before but AvP and AvP Requiem were always going to suck rear end just from being set in the present day. It always should have been set around the time of/a little ahead of Aliens on another planet or colony or whatever.

In the earliest AvP novels/comics I liked the dynamic of the Predators respecting the xenomorph as the best game legal game animal, but humans were the real real ultimate prey but almost never allowed to be hunted. IIRC they had a sort of Prime Directive-esque threshold of "once this species is able to build a ship and actually go and live on another planet they're in the big leagues." And they were a super reclusive race who thought of all species as inferior to them and potential prey, but wouldn't as actively try to hunt species who got that advanced. That left the potential open to have them more open to not necessarily killing almost any human they see on site.

I forget, do the Predators actually eat people/aliens/etc.? I know one of the stories whenever the POV is one of the Predators humans/aliens/whatever are all spoken of in terms of what grade of meat they are so I just assumed, but I don't think they ever really did anything with that.

But then even in stuff like the AvP 2010 game which is in the future, the Predator's technology is insanely beyond, like their ships are huge and can obliterate one of those colonial marines ships like the Sulaco in two seconds.

I'm not saying they should be brought down and made close enough to humans to be like Klingons or something but Predators rolled with the "mystery" of what's going with the Predators when that mystery was already "solved" in the first two movies where we learn that they've periodically come to earth to hunt people a because we're just big game to them.

Honestly if that spoilered plot is true that would be awesome. Just for the sake of having more Predators with different designs and outfits and stuff. And as CelticPredator said, I mean it's Shane Black making a Predator movie. :D

I skimmed through your post and what I came up with was we actually need John Leguizamo to get hunted by Predators.

Or he could just have an AvP arcade machine fall on him and I would chuckle sensibly.

They recreate the scene in Predator 2 where the head Predator approaches Danny Glover respectfully, but instead of handing Leguizamo an old revolver he pushes a button and an AvP arcade machines falls on him. Then one of the Predators uses a voice recording of Shao Khan saying "Friendship. FRIENDSHIP!" as they dance the way the Predators do in that Predator 2 outtake. Roll credits.

After the credits finish, a two minute long slow zoom in on the Predator ship goes to Leguizamo's arcade cabinet covered body........AND HIS EYES OPEN!!!
