I wonder what's next for Shane Black after Predator flopped? He and Dekker were reported as developing a reboot of the Avengers for television which would've been a Swinging London period piece but nothing's been heard of it since the start of the year. Maybe he can pick that back up.

I'm not saying he's bad or anything. I thought The Nice Guys was...nice. He wrote some really fun movies. It's just that yeah someone else probably will be around to make a super quippy movie at some point soon. (also I'd like to demand my money for Iron Man 3 back but that's probably 40% my fault for seeing a comic book movie/Iron Man movie in theaters anyway)

Predator was only bad cause it was set at Halloween instead of Christmas. He was out of his element.

Yeah, that's the only reason Predator was bad

I’m told Predators was mostly ruined because they found out about a sex predator being on the cast and had to delete all his scenes and didn’t have time to Christopher Plummer somebody in, resulting in a very disjointed end product. Was there any potential to the movie being good if they had more time?

Was there any potential to the movie being good if they had more time? He had literally one scene, that wasn't the important bit. The studio basically kramered in and redid the entire third act for reasons unrelated to that, and redid other bits to match continuity, which is what really hosed the movie.

I found it amazing that The Predator has a character who is a total rear end in a top hat and then they make his death a blink and you'll miss it affair. You're supposed to enjoy those, not leave people wondering what just happened.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTjYRFZOf4I Never saw this posted, but I saw Thunder Road last night. Trailer is awesome, movie is awesome, but holy smokes do they not match tonally at all. I was wondering how it could possibly be a comedy; they basically edited all the funny bits out for the trailer, like when someone edits The Shining to look like a sappy family drama.

My wife didn't want to go see it because she thought she'd cry too much. She never cried, but I ended up snorting embarrassingly loudly from laughter. One of the funniest bits in the movie is in the trailer, but they just cut the punchline so it looks dramatic. Don't get me wrong, I loving loved it and so did my wife. Everyone should see it if they can, and then come back and tell me why the trailer was so tonally different.

Now I understand what you are saying, when I first saw the trailer there was no way I was going to watch the movie and then a friend I usually trust recommend it. My guess is to generate buzz just like this.
