Dynastocles posted:My headcanon for the xenomorphs is the AvP comics explanation: the xenomorphs just existed, the Predators discovered them and went on to seed countless worlds with their eggs so they could hunt them. Simple, explains everything, contradicts nothing. It's a better idea because then we could see the hell world that would cause the xenomorphs to evolve. What sort of predators did they face that required they evolve loving acid blood?

According to Wikipedia, Pepsi was "created and developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham and introduced as Brad's Drink, it was renamed as Pepsi-Cola on August 28, 1898,[1] and then as Pepsi in 1961." So if you've got a time machine handy, feel free to go back and kill him before he invents the undrinkable crap.

Different kind of fear. The first film is essentially a slasher movie, with an unstoppable killer ready to strike from the shadows at any time. The second is more like a zombie film, where the threat from an individual creature is manageable, the problem is there's no way to kill them all. Personally, I like films like Aliens and Predator 2 that do something a bit different rather than just do the first film again. e: Also, I think it's pretty terrifying to realise that the individuals will just essentially throw themselves into a meat grinder until they foul the mechanism with their own bodyparts. In a sense, you're not fighting a group of aliens, you're fighting one giant creature that doesn't mind getting a few minor injuries to achieve its goal.

Owlbear Camus posted:In the directors commentary Cameron literally apologizes to the USMC and said if he had it to do over again he would have made the characters regular army and potentially conscripts, not Marines and he regretted the slight against the noble Marine Corps. Wasn't it marines who bitched so much about being lumped in with mere soldiers that the term "warfighter" was coined?

etalian posted:They did the same trick in Saving Private Ryan, all the main cast had to go through a grueling boot camp experience except for Matt Damon character. This kind of thing always reminds me of Laurence Olivier's response to Dustin Hoffman staying awake for 72 hours prior to filming a scene in Marathon Man: "My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"

Some of the problem might be the relative cheapness of CGI special effects. The 80s seems to be a sort of perfect point at which really good special effects are possible, but have to be used with care, so the story has to reflect that. Modern films can have the monster leaping about in full view far more easily and cheaply, so why bother with relatable characters and tight storytelling? Just have the Predator/xenomorph/Thing rampage around for ninety minutes and you've got a movie.

That's the fella. The film would play out basically the same as the original until they get to the bayou, where it's very hot for the time of year. Now Fouchon's group aren't the only hunters looking for trophies...

Robocop, but Murphy doesn't get killed and the rest of the movie is the scene with prototype Robocops killing themselves from Robocop 2 stretched out to an hour and a half, each prototype killing itself and the people around it in increasingly outlandish ways.

The problem with Predator 2's satire is it only works in the States. The rest of the world watches it and goes "Yup, that's what American cities are like."

It was also a nice way to say "They've been coming here for a long time." They should really make a Predator film set in the Wild West or something. e: Maybe the Tunguska event could have been a Predator's self destruct bomb going off.

You'd really need to stay away from her at that time of the month. "AITA reddit? My girlfriend keeps throwing her used tampons in the regular trash can and dissolving it instead of using the acid-proof one I bought for her. She says I need to stop nagging, but it's costing me a fortune!"

Sarah Connor's the only one that didn't get killed by the thing she was fighting.

They're not made by Funko as far as I can see, so no need to pretend. I bought Mike Harrigan and a Predator before Christmas, because Predator 2 is an underrated gem and how often do you see a Mike Harrigan figure?
