Predator masks filter for a certain threshold, when he takes the mask off at the end you see his vision go totally red because of the ambient jungle heat.

Ok. I just watched predator and prey. Good stuff goon, good stuff.

It's been a loooong time since I saw predator. I forgot all of the delightful Arnold humor in there. Prey really stood out as a well made movie.

You should check out some of the on-set interviews, they're probably on YouTube. Just tons of delightful stories about how the actors would gently caress with each other by, for example, paying off gym staff to inflate Carl Weathers' biceps measurements so he'd lose a bet, things like that.

Adjacent to Alien because the lead plays Holloway in Prometheus but I just rewatched Upgrade (2018) last night and it's a fun little movie, definitely B-tier but it's got a clever premise, fun choreographed fight scenes with interesting cinematography, and a design style that looks like it was heavily cribbed from the Deus Ex prequels, which I'm not mad at. Worth seeing if you're looking for a mindless tight-90mins sc-fi action flick.

It is on YouTube, and it’s a very fun and interesting watch!

I thought Venom was great too. I don't know why it got such bad reviews.

Also that actor looks a whole lot like Tom Hardy. They look like brothers.

I love threads like this and the HEAT thread because you can bring up a movie that shares some commonality with the general subject and folks will be like "yeah that's a good one don't sleep on it." It's not unlike having a little friend group of cinephiles. :3

Yeah the original edit of my “Alien original ending” video got deleted from YouTube because I didn’t denote that it was fake and people cried about it.

To be fair it was like 12 years ago, maybe YouTube just doesn’t give a gently caress now. :shrug:

I find Alien 3 unforgiveable because a couple of days after the traumatic events of Aliens, and the day after the death of Hicks and Newt, Ripley gets horny and dewy eyed for Charles Dance after bonding over the autopsy of Newt's mangled corpse they conducted together.

I'm sorry to be so behind on this but Charles Dance is a goddamn lion and if you have the opportunity to gently caress Charles Dance you take it.

She did that as a distraction anyway and afterwards he called her out on it.

But still, if Dance were to ask me to dance, I'd do the Waltz.

Yeah, exactly. Humans getting all horny and wanting to gently caress after life threatening trauma is an actual Thing.
