flavor.flv: Apr 18, 2008; I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches

The aliens in Starship Troopers weren't actually supposed to be a threat :ssh:

(The whole driving action of the movie is that the government wanted to drum up support to genocide the bugs and take all their resources and the asteroid that wiped out Buenos Aires was a convenient excuse that was either a coincidence or a false flag operation)

My favorite part of The Quiet Place was in the beginning how the family let the loving toddler/four year old walk around by himself instead of the mom loving carrying him. Because there is no goddamn way a kid that small is going to be quiet or not get distracted and walk off. It's like the parents decided three kids was too many and to yeet the smallest one early on.

How about something with the Predator in WWII? I mean, why the gently caress not?

Honestly, the original pitch of the Predator was "a horror movie where the protagonists are not scared and weak, but instead very well trained killing machines, who are still massively out of their depths"

Having a remote squad of WW2 soldiers, or like Vietnam soldiers, get attacked by a Predator would be extremely in spirit with the first movie.

One of the shorts of Love Death, and Robots was called "Secret War" which was about the Soviet effort in WW2 to eradicate an infestation of ghouls that had been summoned ten years prior in the misguided hopes of using them as a weapon.

A quiet place is dumb for the same reason zombie movies are. There's no explanation why these blind things couldn't be herded together and destroyed with bombs etc before you get to the point where suburbia is fighting for itself.

Predator and Predator II work because the whole premise is basically a standard action movie for the time getting literally invaded by an alien; the first is an Arnie shootbangs movie where the ultra-masculine 80s badasses get picked off one by one, while the second is a buddy cop movie (complete, unfortunately, with all the racism) where an alien drops into the stereotypical gang war and starts picking off targets indiscriminately.

Given the whole theme of Predators basically being to humans what big game hunters are to animals, could be an animal control squad culling the rabid.

For those wanting the WW2 aliens film, might wanna try Overlord. It's Nazi vampires, and it's pretty batshit. It's got US Agent before he got the job in the MCU.

That just reminds me of one of the more bonkers episodes of the original Transformers, where a Lord Chumley who clearly has way too much time and way too much money gets his kicks shooting down and capturing an experimental Russian jet, and then decides he wants Optimus Prime's head on his wall, and apparently has the resources and know-how to pose a significant threat to the Autobots and Decepticons.

I'd say 'Predator vs superheroes' but there's been crossovers with Batman before I'm pretty sure. Though a take more like The Boys might get hilarious. Especially when people start treating the Predator as a superhero.

Anyone else remember that movie The Hunt where they were all "OH NO WE CAN'T RELEASE THE MOVIE CAUSE IT'LL CAUSE BLOOD IN THE STREETS"? I watched it, and it was decent, but damned if I can really think that whole argument thing was just some kinda poo poo viral marketing.

Was kinda fun watching parody versions of liberals fight dumbass right wing idiots.

Just remembered it in the middle of predator vs random people chat. I'd love a predator version of it.

This is literally The Keep. The movie is a bit of a mess, but the book is decent.

Soviets: What the gently caress.

Nuke the moon. Acoustic cats. Nuclear landmines kept warm by chickens. Mind control drugs. Scientologist-led psychic research programs. All actual plans or projects from NATO countries.

The soviets weren't exactly the sane and rational part here. There were soviet plans to create ape-human soldiers, to melt the arctic, to use blood transfusions to halt aging, they nuked the rivers in Siberia in an attempt to reverse the flow and that's not even mentioning Lysenko or the Aral Sea (now known as the Aral Puddles).

What happened to Gotham over the course of the Dark Knight trilogy?

In Batman Begins, the city has this gritty, run down, foggy, dark and totally unique aesthetic but in TDK and TDKR, it just looks like Chicago and Pittsburgh. It's a really weird decision to get rid of the style that looked so cool and original in Begins.
