Fairly sure they said they wanted Glover for Predators but couldn't, so we got Fishburne instead. Edit: Dredd owns because everything is in continuity, every single cross over. Its great. Azubah fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Feb 27, 2023 |

The crossover with Stormwatch by Warren Ellis is, I think, now canon to the DC universe since the Wildstorm comics universe was incorporated into their multiverse, and it was canon to Wildstorm. The author didn't want to do it, but then they told him he could kill whoever he wanted, so he used the aliens to gut the big superhero team so he could launch a different one.

I've had an interesting series of conversations with my beloved. I had just found out a few days ago that Prey existed because I live in a media black hole lately, so I wanted to watch Predator and Predator 2 again first. So Saturday and Sunday nights we did that. For the record, she has seen these movies before, but doesn't have a great memory. So after Predator, she said it was good, but she really likes the next one where he makes friends with a kid. So, I says, that's not the next one and you really like that one? Really? She says she does. Last night we watched Prey, and today in the car I asked what she thought of it. She thought it was good, but she still likes the one where the kid shares candy with the Predator. So, relieved, I said, that's what you meant? That brief scene where the kid offers candy?  She was like yeah, especially because it looked like a poor area....It was a cemetery. It didn't look poor. Oh, no, I mean the other one where it's like in a big rundown warehouse. There's a kid who shares candy with the Predator.So I haven't watched The Predator since the first time, and that was on a plane, but I ask if she means the one where the kid gets the Predator helmet and figures out their language. She says no, she just remembers that one part, where they became friends. My hamster wheels were running in overdrive, when finally I figure it out. It wasn't a Predator movie at all, she was thinking of when Teal'c was turning into a bug monster on SG-1. Spoilered in case you want to guess before looking.

last page the Karl Urban Doom was brought up, do yourselves a favor and watch it with the blind narration on. Me and my friend accidently turned it on once haha we kept rewinding and watching the scene where the greedy guy gets ripped off the toilet probly 20 times, tears in our eyes. I was really impressed how well the narrator clarified the fast paced action too, especially the fps part and the final battle.

The Predator had already gained maximum honor for the amount of gang members it killed and could have left a champion but hung around longer to try to find more of that candy

Biplane posted:Killing the rasta leader was not honorable He had a sword. And if you take Predators as canon, they also seem to do their research and know who the tough guy players are among their prey. It was probably staking out the gangs for time, and knew King Willie was Don Gorgon. Didn't he also bleach and wear his skull, or was that a different part of the movie?

My 11 year old niece saw alien and aliens recently for the first time, scared the poo poo out of her  Edit: other movies she's watched for the first time: Tremors Predator 1 and 2 Speed Terminatior 1 and 2 For the record, I asked her which was the scariest. Surely Aliens, right? No. Alien was scarier

I think the android milk blood goes a long way to making that scene real unpleasant... I asked her what the scariest part of the movie was. What did she think of the robot guy? Wasn't that part creepy when he was torn apart but still talking? She said nah, that was creepy and weird, but he was just a robot. The scariest part was *mimes chestburster scene* Me: oh yeah, that was pretty intense huh? Yeah, it was really scary. It would've been scarier, but she'd seen a chestburster before. But when she saw it before, they made it funny. The alien put on a hat and started singing and dancing

i was thinking earlier how loving hard the original trailer for alien goes. my interest in the alien films comes from when i went to disney world a few times as a kid and the great movie ride would play trailers on a screen while you waited in line and the alien trailer was one of them. it’s probably one of the best trailers ever made. https://youtu.be/4v4Kn0J6E-I and for anyone who never got a chance to see it, this is the alien part of the ride. it was extremely well done and legitimately scary. at least as a kid. https://youtu.be/4Hf0RcjRHyo

A thousand times, this. I was ten and I'd seen a couple of R-rated films at the time, and my Mom and I had seen this trailer, and seen Siskel and Ebert and Gene Shalit review the film, but we had no idea what we were really in for. e: You'll notice that they never show even a single shot of the creature, which is like a child's nightmares brought to life. It was so insanely scary to me at the time, I had no words to even describe it. And the "and then there was one" aspect of the film made it even worse.

The final sequence on the Nostromo after she finds Parker and Lambert and begins the scuttle procedure is my favourite in cinema, it's just pure chaos and desperation. Horns blaring, sirens wailing, lights strobing hard, steam everywhere. It's amazing, and terrifying.

I always forget the sheer size of the Nostromo. The crew area was small-ish, sure, but the entire ship itself was the size of a goddamned mountain

IIRC even the Prometheus is still smaller than the Nostromo ship by itself, and then the Alien Resurrection one is like cartoonishly gigantic like on par with the Nostromo's refinery thing. I enjoy this book of Alien series ship blueprints even if there's less artwork and more like screen renders as it gets to more recent stuff, very good stuff overall: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1785654950 Don't buy it for $35 though just wishlist it or whatever I see it go on sale pretty regularly.

I was also 10 when I saw Alien in the theater. My dad and I went to see it opening weekend. We had NO idea what was in this movie. I distinctly remember people flipping out throughout the movie, and some people leaving the theater. I slept with the lights on for several days after that. I got the sweet movie stills "graphic novel" that year for Christmas or my birthday. It's such a great movie. In 1986, I was working as an usher at a movie theater and found out about Aliens only a month or so before it came out (when we got the trailer). One of the perks of this job was getting to see movies the night before or the morning before it was released. They would ship the film reels to us in several big metal cans, and the projectionists had to splice them all together on these huge platters. Then they would run the film through to make sure everything was working properly before the movie opened. Employees could come in and watch. I got to the theater about 830 on that Friday morning. Just me and the projectionist, who always watched from the booth. Aliens was playing in our big theater, which had the best sound (with Dolby, the other theaters were just stereo. This is 1986). I sat in the perfect seat in the center of the theater and had a private viewing of Aliens. Outside of seeing Star Wars for the first time in 77, it was the best movie experience of my life.
