Directed by the AVP-R guys.

Sweet Grilled Cheesus Christ, will you EVER gtf over the Predalien ALREADY? it DID exist BEFORE the AVP movies, you know...

having said that, this flick seems like "nothing really special", basically just an "Independence Day pt 2 1/2: the 1st cousins' REVENGE".

Jim said...

No.
I will never get over the Predalien.

It was dumb before the movie.
It was worse in the movie.

And the Predalien is but a small element of what's wrong with AVP-R.

I will never watch anything by those two dudes.

It's my own private boycott.

I'm gonna buy two tickets for that movie. One for me, one for Jim. And leave the Jim seat open just in case he has a change of heart at the last second.

Jim said...

Don't you dare!

Buy ZERO.

Really dude, you gotta get over your whole AVP-r issue. the film was ok. Better than Alein 3...thats for sure.

Jim said...

Nah, I see no reason to "get over" AVP-R.
Its an insult to ALIEN, Predator, fans and Film in general.

And I disagree... Alien3 (which was baaad) was leagues better than both AVP flicks combined.

G said...

Agreed. To acknowledge those pieces of S@#& is to give them credibility, and once you do that, it starts to spread to everything.
-Stck to Your Principals....

Didn't you say that you'd NEVER see either of the AVP films? And you've seen both of them, right?

Locusta said...

Well, to compare Alien3 with that piece of crap called AvP R(etard) is a far cry from every movie knowledge.

If it´s for me, I would destroy all copies of that movie and never let it see the light of day again.

And about the Skyline movie. I saw the trailer and I guess it will find it´s audience. At least amongst the 15 years old.

Jim said...

Nah, I never said I would never see the AVP movies. I did say I was not going to see them on opening weekend to avoid contributing to Studio Ticket Sales... or pay for a ticket. Both times I bought a ticket for another movie and then walked into the AVP theater.

But after seeing AVP-R, I have indeed said I will never see another movie directed by those 2 guys. The movie is insulting on so many levels, so I've made the choice of not supporting them.

to say Alien 3 is anything but far below even the worst of the two AVP movies is completely idiotic. seriously.

just the "dumb, sweet" look that that somewhat goofy "green human hybrid THING" gave in Alien: Resurrection gave was exponentially better than Alien 3.

that ridiculous movie (HOW IN HELL CAN YOU SUPPORT A FREAKIN DOG ALIEN HYBRID OVER A PREDATOR ALIEN HYBRID?!?!? what; can ya'll tell the difference between "THE THING" and a poor ripoff?!?!? LOL!) was dryer than the freakin' Sahara and as hard to watch as a Conservative "dancing". LOL

seriously; if an alien coming out of a freakin' human is "cool", then there's literally no way that an alien coming out of a Predator isn't cooler. no way at all, sorry!

...and by "coming out" i mean "making a hybrid with", not just the act of popping out or anything.

really, though, it's like you would rather see an alien MOUSE hybrid, or perhaps an "alien ferret hybrid", which is completely ludicrous.

an alien/Predator is cool, an alien/fox or dog or freakin HOUSECAT or dolphin, or whatever other laughably oddball combination you can think of, is NOT cool.

Predalien? cool. Feralien, Dolphalien, ETC... NOT cool.

Jim said...

You're comparing turds. Both are shit.

And I don't support the hybrid bullshit either. Alien 3 is where that idea came from. its stupid. Because if you have one hybrid, then you will get others (like the ones you listed).

I hate the DogAlien.

I hate the Predalien. Its one of the dumbest creature designs I've ever seen. It could have been so much cooler, but at every creative turn, they went the wrong way.

Both suck.

Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, AVP, and AVP-R are all shit.

But go ahead... enjoy watching the AVP movies. To each his own.

- and there is where your argument was lost.
To do things bc they are "cool" and would "look sweet" is the WORST possible reason, and quite frankly is why comics and half of movies today suck goat balls. It's that Fanboy " all flash, but no substance" attitude that has warped and destroyed half of what were , great movies and franchises.It's were stupid gags, and ridiculous concepts get brought to fruition, bc some sophomoric, douche bag thinks it will be clever and funny. The Pred-Alien was a TURD. those movies were turds.. as bad as Alien 3 was,..at least it was a good FILM. it was lit properly, good acting, good framing, acceptable dialogue, ect...the STORY wasn't the greatest, but it was at least done professionally. The AVP movies were two 14 year old boys masturbating for the first time to a Victoria Secrets magazine in their buddies mom's room.

Plus those "directors" run a visual fx sweat shop where you get to clock in and out for bathroom breaks.

And guess what, they happen to have been contracted to work on another larger budget alien movie for Sony that comes out in March.

So they take Sony's millions and use it as R&D on their no-budget production and then don't tell sony about it.
whee!

After all this talk of the Predalien, I googled it, and it looks frikin sweet! Now I can't wait to go buy the AVP films on Blueray, and so see Skyline!

Thanks, Jim!

Jim said...

My pleasure!
