Think about Predator. Did not expect the 2010 film to be alright but was proven wrong.

"The Predator" is to "Predator" as "Alien versus Predator" is to "Allen"

"Predators" is alright though, you're not wrong

loving hell, I am lol'ing at the UK serial killer suggestions

Just found Alien - Director's cut is available on Sky - got it downloading now. To my shame I've seen Aliens and Alien 3 directors cuts, but never the original...

We did it with sharp pencils but I can't remember what we called it

Is there test footage of the monkey in the original Predator costume? Why they thought that'd be a good idea...

This looks somewhat Alien-adjacent. It's a chapter from Bram Stoker's Dracula,

You're not wrong. Strong Alien vibes from this. Looks great

I went to the dentist this week, and he said I'm grinding my teeth, so I got this translucent mouthguard that I put in hot water then molded to my teeth

It's all set to now as a weird inverse copy of my teeth and I find it very unsettling to look at. It reminds me so much of the xenomorph's mouth

I can't get a good photo as it's translucent, but trust me, it's creeping me out

Leafing through the Aliens - The Set Photography book I picked up cheap a while back and goddamn it drives home how much it is a perfect film

So yeah, thinking about Aliens

(I am also now thinking about buying this shirt:

Anyone else remember the comic about the xeno homeworld, and how they are not the apex life form? As in there's another species that takes them down and no, it's not the Predator. Think about it: a natural predator of the xeno that can actually gently caress it up.

I vaguely remember this. The other species was kinda pale pink and boring and featureless, versus the dark, biomechanical intricacies of the xeno. That's about all I can remember

I'd been watching some Folding Ideas videos and for shits and giggles I went right to the start of his channel. This is one of the videos from his early days

This blew my mind - I can't believe I never noticed it:

In my own personal opinion a blooper is something that wasn't supposed to be there


Even if this was an accident during a take, it feels like it was intentionally left in. I wonder if Ridley Scott has ever spoken about it. Is it mentioned on the commentary (I've never watched the Alien one), does anyone know?
