Some snuck PREDATORS pics have leaked onto the web!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some pictures from the Nimrod Antal directed, Robert Rodriguez-produced reboot/sequel PREDATORS. I've seen some things from this movie that would make your geek brain explode... it did mine, at least, but I have no idea when I can go into that in any detail. A ton of snuck shots have leaked online and I imagine they'll disappear really damn quickly, but for those early risers this Saturday morning, here are a few stills courtesy of the forums of AVP Galaxy. There are a ton of pics on the boards (make sure to click here or on any of the pics below to see them all)and I've picked a few to post here. There might be some spoilery stuff there, but also some super cool shit, too. REMOVED BY REQUEST OF STUDIO. Suits, sets and gore... Lookin' good, yeah? -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter

So nice to have, what i'd imagine, will be a decent preditor picture.
-
...looks like they're facing the Predator version of Mega-Force! It's going to be cool.
-
not sure about brody in this, and that other dude looks like tom berenger. heres some real alien shit, when will they make a movie about this? http://tinyurl.com/yhozblq

Herman after his bike got stolen
-
...up the ass and out the top of the head.<P>Maybe it's just a trick of perspective...still, Vlad The Predator...<P>...one can hope.
-
Impale the Predators with that proboscis Brody!
-
That thinks the Predadog and Predabird might be a bad idea?
-
Is this still the "Predator homeworld" idea? Cause that blew, rancid bloody diarrhea. All over the place.
-
...I don't subscribe to the common theory that all attempts at sequel/spin-off must include some sort of motorcycle device or hybrid.

Whats with the shrine? Weird...but nice to see less bulky preds.
by Mike_D
i wanna see a teaser.
-
Predadog and Predabird? Am I just not up on my Predator mthos..or was that some cracked out idea they decided to throw in there?
-
...it's called...wait for it...Predator. Fucking Hollywood money-grubbing douchebags.
-
ok that's just mental
-

...I wonder why Predators cover their pink Predator parts...
by FlickaPoo
...weird that they would have the same hangups we do.<P>If I was hunting on an alien planet I'd take advantage of the opportunity to be naked...maybe tell the locals I use my arms for insemination...just to fuck with them...
-
I meant to say "mythos"
-
Looks good. Let hope that it delievers the goods. this franchise is due for something as good as the first film. Everything else they did with the Predator was half cocked.

haha, adrian really does look like he just blew a blunt
by RedHorseVector
-
...Planet? After all the fat jokes I can't remember what the upshot of that article was...
-
Looking at the available photos it appears they've made no attempt to make the predators any taller than an average guy like they were in the original.
-
Payback time.
-
You're right about the first movie. It kicked ass and so did its future gubernatorial cast. I enjoyed the second one though, for what it was. AVP was dog shit with that one retarded shot of the main chick and the predator running in slo-mo together away from the explosion. But AVP Requium was bad ass...and creative in a lot of the ways the predator killed.
-
he has bulked up to just look weedy. <p> Everytime I see his name associated with Predators, I am convinced the casting guys were actually stoned at the time of his casting and were probably dared to cast him. <p> Can you imagine Arnie in the Pianist
-
Jan. 16, 2010, 9:17 a.m. CST
...the way Predators always stand with their chests puffed...
by FlickaPoo
...up like that makes me think they're probably pricks.<P>And they stand with their arms out like George W. Bush.
-
Needs more Goggins.
-
This movie may well rock out worlds! But does it follow on from the original, is Predator 2 still canon? Either way it'll knock AvP out of the park!
-
So far so good. Now could you guys just get ARNOLD for the cameo. Do it Nemoy style like STAR TREK and give Arnie anything he wants to say yes!
-
we wouldn't get stuff like " Rodriguez and Anal". <p> Though am sure it wouldn't be the first time for Antal
-
Yeah, leaked as much as .. ah hell, Oleg Taktarov is a bad ass and if you can't feature the angle and the common..welll<br><br> Как можно клиенту рассказывать про настройку DNS зоны когда в аськином статусе у него написанно «ЙА СКАЗОЧНЫЙ ДОЛБАЁП ыыыы»?<br><br> pfft.looks awesome.. <br><br> cept the middle predator. The one in high heels. He looks like Tim Curry in some such Rocky Horror..well..Sweet Trans..ah, you get it.
-
Just a bunch of fucking guys standing around!! These were probably given to Harry by his good buddy Robert to spark some interest in a film no one wants to see!!
-
must have sucked someone's dick for this role!
-
..In Inglourious Basterds. Though I do think he was shit in the part (can't act) it was a good part, and worked better having him be an average sized guy. Maybe Brody will be some kinnd of nutso headcase
-
..For The Bear in INglourious, least he can act somewhat
-
that if you witness these pics you will realise the movie will be shite?
-
It's sad but this movie will fail at the box office, only geeks who follow production will go see this, other people will remember the disasters the last AVP were and won't even consider seeing this... sad but true
-
Someone mentioned Pee Wee and Fishburne (Cowboy Curtis) is in this...Pee Wees Next Adventure...the Predators stole his bike!
-
Looks like the tip of ol’ painless is sticking up into the last photo. One thing that confuses me is who is the “Brand X” guy and what purpose does he serve on the commando team? My guess is he’s a specialist member of a radical assault team. While the other guys distract the predators with gunfire, he takes them out with a series of gnarly air maneuvers, riding a bladed, missile firing skateboard. You would think that for practical purposes (in terms of camouflage) he wouldn’t want to be facing off against predators with a giant “X” on his back, but maybe…..just maybe….he’s just that good.
-
Just Coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss Adam and Joe on a Saturday. And Boggins.
-
former ultimate fighter Oleg Taktarov (s). I guess he broke into the movie business now.
-
Is it me or do the heads of the Predators all look too big for their bodies? I don't remember that problem in the first two films (I couldn't give a fuck about the AvP ones). They remind me of the Nimon on Doctor Who...<br /><br /> Maybe it's just for the scene where they take their helmets off and so they need to be bigger to accommodate the other mask underneath that they wouldn't normally be wearing.
-
Srsly! It has a crack in it.
-
Nothing we haven't seen before. Brody better watch out for any deep holes.
-
He was also featured in 15 minutes as well as several direct-to-video things. Oleg Taktarov is a tough, tough guy. Nice to see Brody has some backup!

I read the script to this. Do not get your hopes up.
by The Gospel According to Bastardface
It's a remake of Predator with Predator dogs and a Predator Birds and King Predators and Black King Predators and Arnie turning up at the end saying as emperor of all predators to say, "You did good, kid."<p> Really forgettable and flat. Reads like a videogame.
-
That makes no fucking sense.
-
... for the Predators? Why the shorties?
-
But all the Predators remind me of drag queens for some reason.
-
is what this looks like.
-
WTF? The Predator in the first film was over 7 feet. This added to make the creature more menacing and imposing. Preadtors the size of average men dont scare me.
-
Also, his mate on the right is wearing a corset.
-
Jackie Earle Haley's got first dibs on every Hollywood role these days.
-
Kontroll was awesome, hope they pull this one off.
-
First of all, those are shots taken from a set from a shitty camera. Not what they're shooting with. So you can't judge the quality of the look of the final film from these pictures.<p> Second, you guys know that Tom Cruise is a midget, right? Then how comes he always looks average high in his movies? Oh yeah, because they use camera tricks (and appleboxes) to make him look appear taller. A low angle shot can make a mountain out of a man. You guys ever asked yourself how they made Frodo and the other look so small in Lord of the Rings? Well it wasn't CGI fellas, look up "forced perspective" on Wikipedia, might learn something....
-
It could have been clever and cool - Instead it's a quick cameo (that makes zero sense) tacked on in hopes of getting him to shoot for three hours. C'mon guys, you can do better, no?
-
Of course, I gave Aliens vs Predators the benefit of the doubt too, and look how that turned out.
-
Get outta Brody's photo, Fat Damon!
-
Yeah, the middle predator looks like it has a GIANT head.
-
JUST BY THE LOOK OF THE THINGS THIS IS GOING TO BLOW!!!
-
Never gonna see those two actors in the same light ever again.
-
With Nathan Fillion.
-
I like a lot of Rodriguez's stuff, particularly From Dusk Till Dawn, but everything about these pics makes them look bad. The predators are shrimpy with big heads and high heels and the sets look like a high school play. I know they can make stuff look cool on film so I'm hoping that's the case but these pics diminish my expectations.
-
When was the last time someone brought a Minigun to a Preadator movie? The original Predator I believe. I still have doubts about Brody's effectivness, especially after King Crap, but I have hope.
-
La Chintz! Has NONE of the flavor nor feel of the original PREDATOR in these shots, where even the stuff in STARLOG before the movie came out looked scary and interesting, and the magazine ran a full-page pic of the PREDATOR at the beginning of the article and you just wanted to run away in actual fear. Least, i did when my sister showed me her precious STARLOG collection issue. I remember it vividly, though. This, however, looks rancid. It looks SYFY-Channel. And talk of PREDABIRDS and PREDADOG means it's being marketed for toys and will be definitely PG-13. Expect the article soon: "I just got a call from Robert Fuckin' Rodriguez on my new Blackberry Pearl (www.amazon.com193843849349359) and he guarantees a hard R but even if it's PG13 it will be A HARD PG13!"
-
I think that's illegal in some states.
-
That kills the fun!
-
Sure looks like it. He's got a dancer's legs, too.
-
yep.
-
They're too short. The heads look retardedly huge. The bodysuits make them look like they're Americans (overweight and doughy). Ugh. I just checked IMDB. They're not using Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff for the creature effects. Fucking stupid fucking idea.
-
So you mutherfuckers can tell that a movie is going to be shit and a blockbuster by a handful of un-lit, behind the scenes shot taken on an IPhone. Boy do we bask in your insight. I shall retire right now as a lighting cameraman
-
Hope that shits gone when the film roles.
-
Everyone seemed cool and it was awesome to see this shit in person. I hope it turns out to be good.
-
Glad expectations have been set predictably low by the haters. It honestly can't be that difficult to do a decent Predator movie with the tech we have these days. But oh, you've seen a couple of phone shots which don't evoke the same majesty of the first film? Point proved. I suppose I'll be off then.
-
high heeled Predator in Times Square last night. Nearly killed me with its handbag.
-
Just turn it into a TV show with these two. It'd be awesome.
-
They feature a chain gun, so this automatically proves they have no new ideas.
-
If this doesn't have a sweaty Danny Glover sliding across the ground firing duel pistols at Rastafarians then there is only a certain amount of excitement I shall muster. I don't want a repeat of Predator 2, I just think I need closure. Or Sonny Landham kick fucking someone, preferably white so my self hatred can get a little rest.

How can these be 'sneak's if they're LOOKING INTO THE CAMERA!?
by WickedJester
-
God I hate homages and cameos. Wink, wink sheepies.....
-
Who is this guy who keeps coming up in talkback after talkback? Some of you act as if you would suck him off with the fervor of a fluffer who enjoys her job.
-
he seems to be possing with two of the actors. Stupid smuck wont be allowed near the set again.....
-
Haha! I knew that was going to happen. I was a stand-in while it was filming in Austin. Nothing special, man.
-
Seriously, that 2nd pic is awful. The middle one looks like he's in high heels. They're heads are too big. They're too short. Their legs while tone, are skinny as hell like they prefer using the thighmaster to doing 1000 pound leg presses. These guys are not threatening at all. Predators are supposed to be BAD ASS, a one man fucking army. That's why the original movie was so great. The predator was a solitary killing machine. Putting a bunch of weak ass Predators together as a team dilutes their menace and power. Rodriguez, I realize you wanted to channel "Aliens" for this movie, but it's going to SUUUUCCCCCKKKK, man. This weak attempt at a Predator movie won't even come close to Cameron's greatness. You should have just left this alone and let someone else attempt a Predator movie.
-
Bodry AND Tohper Grace? Geeze. We'll see. Brody did not work as a heroic, romantic lead in King Kong, so we'll see if this works.
-
isn't big heads .The original in his mask had a strangely enlarged bonce {baby big head}.It's the proportion of their bodies.Kevin Hall in pred 1 had very long arms and legs plus , a long midsection from chest to groin.Even with the foam rubber build up he still looked very elegant, and disguised the man in a suit look .These guys have short arms and legs, making them look stumpy and over weight .they might actually be pretty tall , but their big headed proportions , give a midgety look. This lack of arm and waist lengh , is also the main reason that the alien suits that woodruff wore from Aliens on just don't look right.The centre pred isn't in high heels , your seeing the spiked claw they all have on the back of their feet
-
PREDATORS were at least 6'10" - that picture was taken from a high angle looking down at them, with things built to scale to the Predators. Don't worry, PREDATORS are plenty big.
-
Managed to put together a load of superb predators for it's final scenes , all of them were as good as the first films pred .why can't they seem to do shit now , that Stan Winstone and co pulled off 20 years ago?
-
After "1997" as shown in Predator 2, is this some kind of midquel?
-
Adrien Brody looks like Bear Grylls in that first photo of him with Oleg. Hilarious...wonder if he eats Predator testicles...raw, of course?
-
That the Predator NEVER looked as real as he did in the first movie.
-
clearly another try to make some money, but less clever than Lucas. A Predator looks is 7' 2½" high, 2nd shot looks like a fan made gay helloween party. R.I.P: Predator. Just like Robocop there is just _one_ Robocop and _one Predator, ok, sequels were fine either but the rest was a travesty. Just like this one here..
-
Nothing, and I do mean NOTHING is shown in context. These aren't frames from the movie, just pictures from around the set. I just looked at some behind the scenes pictures from "Star Wars" and they don't really capture the films power. Shouldn't we see some actual footage before judging how this film looks?
-
This movie has alot of potential, Looking forward to see it
-
they look like the vampires from dusk till dawn with masks on. not looking good so far........
-
I hope we'll see fat bisexual computer nerd Predators chasing girly fey Brody. Truly a Predator movie for the modern age.
-
Although I'm really hoping this will be the best film since the original. 2 was good but the AVP films were shitfests.
-
In the last pic. Sweet!
-
That's a dealbreaker.
-
they all have the exact same mask. i liked how Predator 2 and the AVP movies gave each one their own, made it seem like it was a personal thing, sorta like indians and their garb or whatnot.
-
when i think Brody i think Arnold. They are exactly the same.
-
Harry, you're in a wheelchair - *everybody* looks at least 6'10" from where you're sitting. <br> <br> I kid, I kid.
-
Those are the females, right? Gotta be.
-
Dude, did you just call AvP: Rectum "bad ass"? That movie was so awful it made the first AvP look like The Empire Strikes Back. There is not one single redeemable feature in AvP:R -- none. Watching that movie actually made me want to visit real violence upon the makers of that shitburger. AvP:R is a perfect example of EVERYTHING that's wrong with genre movies today.
-
and I've done my share of ripping, fuck knows. But still, the endless snark and negativity... it's toxic.
-
...give us no real hint, positive or negative, about the quality of the film. <p> They do establish, however, that there were at least predator costumes on the predator set. <p> I have a grudge against this franchise anyway.
-
AvP:R was a total piece of shit.
-
Jan. 16, 2010, 2:51 p.m. CST
Predators nowadays cant find right-sized helmets anymore
by TakingScorpiosCalls
did their moms on the homeworld fit those large ass things on their heads? Predator 1 and 2 must be pulling a Picard style palm face.
-
Has the most negative posters anywhere on the net. Ive been reading other forums about these pics and they are balanced/more positive. Its the same with other stuff posted, despite this site reputation online, the talk backs are really overly negative.
-
Never seen so many whiny little girls like in these talkbacks. Good work ladies.
-
You know what, i hate haters and i realy have expressed my contempt for them on here plenty of times but that second shot is laughably bad, it looks like a bunch of drag queen predators that are about to do a performence of 'Its Raining Men'!. I know this is probably pg13 but do we realy have to resort to Predators wearing high heels, corsets and killing humans by making them think they are in the Predator version of 'The Birdcage' WTF?.
-
...oh, and look, someone has the same kind of gun that the guy in the first movie had! Like us, please like us!<p>Lots of samey-looking predators = no mystique = no interest.<p>Can someone explain specifically is going to make this movie better than, say, 'Doom'? And don't say "because the original Predator, completely unrelated to this one, was a great movie", because that's already the reason this thing is getting made at all.
-
From "The Pianist" to this? He must be doing it for the cash, the cars, and the women.
-
Maybe there's so much dislike here because what we're being shown is dislikable, and/or simply bad. These are crappy sets, drab costumes, and tired throwbacks to the original film, and the entire film is just some after-the-fact digging up of someone else's ideas, someone else's franchise, extending it into areas that no one was really asking for to begin with.<p>Maybe if more filmmakers and studios today thought that imagination and creativity meant more than just which old film you picked to remake/re-imagine, there'd be more enthusiasm and support.
-
I fail to see what the excitement is about.
-
...back in 1982 when the first tantalizing "Blue Harvest" pics of Jabba's sail barge surfaced, you tools would have been screaming about how shit everything looked. When the first pics from AvP:R showed up they looked awesome, yet the film was a dented bucket of cinematic vomit. <p> If I didn't know any better I'd say you "movie geeks" had never heard of lighting, framing, editing or post-production. Congratulations on making yourselves look like complete morons. I'm guessing some of you are the original Avatar haters who've returned under different names.
-
Brody is out, Pattison in. The studio decided they want a rewrite where Pattison plays a teen-age predator. Kristen Stewart will play his love interest.
-
I love the whiners. They are probably the same ones who have complained for years that Predator2, the shit film that it was, was nothing like the first one. Then probably bitched about AvP, Avp:R being nothing like the first one. Only to come here and bitch about the new film because they are using some ideas from the first film, and how stupid/lame they are now. It's amazing how cell phone pics are suddenly such an effective way to judge a film as to how it looks. The images are low-res,small and soft looking. Morons.
-
He's like the dream casting for any mega nerd here, for a movie that has no business starring him. I loved Star Trek, didn't care for Yelchin's Chekov tho.
-
Looks like the Predators have their own union.
-
Bruce Campbell could so play him.
-
realy wanna see this its got a good vibe to it kinda like the first one should be great the cast and preds look cool too
-
wheres the TB for it?
-
Someone had to say it :)
-
turning two awesome franchises' into what feels like a shitty slasher movie. And you couldn't see shit at all. The Strauss Bros should have been skinned alive for what they did, also one was a bad dickhead to fans on Imdb if I remember. Such an awful movie it makes the first AvP look good.
-
You should have been here for the AvP:R talkback flame wars. Screenwriter Shane Salerno actually showed up (along with a bunch of studio plants, among them quite possibly one of the Strausses) and tried to defend that piece of shit.
-
DENIRO HAS PACINO. WHEN THE FUCK IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN??????
-
Calling someone a "hater" is not a counterargument. It's just whining, from guys who are too whiny to even have opinions of their own.<p>No Star Wars set, thirty years ago, looked as bad as this. The Star Wars films drew from influences but created something really fresh and exciting. This Predators crap is just saying, "hey, look, we can make some money off of someone else's 25-year-old idea! They did all the work, now we can score form it!"<p>If this cast and this director were making something as original and bold as Predator was in its day, I'd be applauding. But this is just tired, pandering junk.
-
I think I stayed away from them to avoid spoilers because as you said it looked great from the first pics and it being R rated again, but as we now know I don't think anything could have saved it.<p> I remember they released that 5 min intro clip and someone was in a TB saying "no no it's been edited down it's not as rushed as this in the movie" That was a load of bullshit too.
-
Y'know, these days, it seems like internet movie geek fanboys get more actual fulfillment from nit-picking and pre-hating movies in production than they do from watching and possibly enjoying actual movies in theaters. There's really no disputing the majority of people here are joyless, humorless pricks now. This really is a site for haters of movies rather than movie lovers, these days. I wonder when that shift actually happened? And where did the actual movie lovers go? I know it's not CHUD...
-
The Thing needs a host to survive. The Blob is like a slimy parasite that eats everything in sight. It would eat up whatever the thing is and move on.
-
but they don't look anything to get excited about either, the suits just don't look right for some reason, the sets look good in the background of some pics though, but after the last abomonation, I am staying cautiously reserved for this one, but I can't help hoping it will kick my ass and then skin it.
-
and create something monstrous?
-
I will defend Tyler's score for AvP:R forever, if necessary. Tyler's score is incredible. He managed to seamlessly meld elements from all of the prior scores into a coherent whole. To be absolutely clear, he used music from composers as disparate as Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Elliot Goldenthal, John Frizzell, and Alan Silvestri. That takes some fucking talent.
-
Fuck this shit, I want Na'vi Vs Predators Vs Ewoks Vs Rambo, set on Pandora.
-
...is putting THINKING predators against real THINKING humans out in nature as per the original -- this is where Brody earns his keep or at leat should.
-
Thankyou!! I mean really the predators in the last two films, and now this one don't match up at all with how good the predators looked in part 1 & 2. You would think that making them look badass and scary would be top priority before anything else. It's disappointing to see but it is also a reminder of how good Stan Winston was at his craft may he RIP.
-
it kinda looks like a bunch of pics taken on the stargate sg1 set.
-
"It's raaaining men... halleluja, it's raining men... amen!" I kid, I kid. ;)
-
Awesome idea and this would have been the perfect place to do it!! Kirt Russell and Jeff Bridges (maybe with Nathan Fillion as well) would be great together.
-
...To make me give a shit.
-
Hey I just saw RED CLIFF by John Woo.<p> No, it has nothing to do with Predators!<p> But it was really fucking epic.. and if you enjoyed such battles as Helms Deep, Pellenor Fields and Troy then you owe it to yourself to check this movie out. 'Lavish' doesn't even come close to describing this thing. Big BIG battle scenes, and with a fair amount of gore too. Loved it.
-
Sorry, saw the uniform and had to shout that.
-
Toxic is right. I remember when Fanboys used to get excited for upcoming properties, especially ones they havent seen, now it's who can outsnark the next person. We've become a culture of Comic Book Guy's. Real Film Geeks actually experiance film before judging it crap. Just a big bunch of Devin Faraci's all o' ya.
-
How dare you call us Devin Faracis! How DARE YOU!!!<P> JettL93, AsimovLives, especially that freak ChoclateWoman... Maybe they're Devin Faraqcis. The rest of us may never reach that level of snark!<P> Some of his stuff's okay, but come on: Devin is the Uber-Snark of Comic Book Guys. You know this to be true.<P> The next Holy Ground of film websites? FILM SCHOOL REJECTS. They're fucking awesome.
-
"Real Film Geeks actually experiance film before judging it crap."<p> robbles, but isn't it too late by then?<p> I mean if it looks like a turd on a plate. Smells like a turd on a plate. Tastes like a turd on a plate. Do you really have to finish your dinner off before declaring that it was indeed a turd, and excusing yourself from the dining table to go throw up.
-
because the ones in the past were all about bulking up and firing at everything like mirrors to Dutch and his team. then in the second movie the Predator happened to have a Predator police license before he decided to switch to Predatoring career.
-
This IS tired, pandering junk. Read the script that's floating out there on the internets. It's regurgitated bollocks that even Bruce Campbell would think twice about starring in. And just because they have cool-looking Predators in it does NOT mean it won't suck. They had great Predator suits in AvP and AvP:R too, and look where THAT got us.<P> The last time I saw a cool-ass Predator doing cool shit that WASN'T the orignal movie or its way inferior sequel? Sandy Collora's DEAD END, which was fucking awesome on a level Robert Rodriguez will NEVER achieve.<P> Make no mistake, robbles... this movie will suck. HARD.
-
But when did one amatuer photo from a set make a movie crap? Adrien Brody may not be Sonny Landham but he's easily the most Oscar winningest actor to appear in the franchise. But hey, some of you have read the script, which I haven't, so maybe you're basing opinion off of that. And depending on the garnish turds on a plate can be a lot of fun! Oh, and I can't wait for Red Cliff! Did you see the full length or the ADD version?
-
Batman Dead End is QUALITY.
-
And Andrew Koenig was a fucking quality Joker. Maybe not the level of awesome that Heath Ledger was.... but he was fucking GREAT!<P> Give Sandy Collora £150 mil, give him the rights to Batman, Aliens and Predator, then get him to make a two-hour top-notch DEAD END movie. It would fucking ROCK.
-
Fuckin' A. <p> He could just adapt Batman vs. Predator which, for a crossover comic, was actually bloody decent.
-
Yeah, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it sucked, I just get tired of constant negativity on here is all. I tend not to read scripts before the films just because I can't stand knowing everything about a movie before seeing it. Too bad, though. I miss good Predator movies.
-
This'll at least make 100, maybe 150 million. Haters have never been right about anything. Fact. How's Star Trek, TF2, or Avatar's success feel? Suck it.
-
"I just get tired of constant negativity on here is all" <p> I can almost hear the weariness in your voice. It's funny cos it's true. <p> I do hear you though bud, everyone on here is a moaning fucking bastard, myself included.
-
...this looks like it's gonna be fucking WANK! Will avoid and watch the original again on Bluray methinks. Kthxbye
-
I watched Predator on BluRay recently. <p> That's one flick that has aged like a fine wine.
-
...but, in the end, isn't what Cobra-Kai posed the question? Should real film geeks watch a movie before judging it crap or is it too late by then? <p> Is it being a completist that makes you a film geek (or any kind of geek, I guess)? Is the movie whore who hated the first three Saw movies but kept grimly soldiering on, not in expectation that the next ones would be better but with just the determination that there might be something worth seeing and therefore it would be seen, that in order to render a full and valid opinion on that regurgitation of a franchise every last moment would have to be watched more of a movie geek than the one who checked out after Cary Elwes farted his way through the first? <p> Or if something has been horrible, either a franchise or a creator, and it seems likely their future work will be no better, is it the responsibility of a real movie geek to NOT see it so as not to put more pennies in the pocket of the folks doing the substandard work? <p> Now I've got no problem with anyone expressing an opinion about something before they've seen it. That's part of the fun, and people were doing it long before there was an internet to do it on. They did it in the pages of movie magazines and at the counters of comic book stores, theaters and video outlets. They did it on playgrounds and in university lounges and...well you get the idea. And I've expressed plenty of opinions, both positive and negative, about movies I hadn't yet seen, that ended up being absolutely wrong. <p> To me a real movie geek is a little bit of column A and column B. They give everything a chance, charge up the cinematic hill that is Zombie 5 or Jason Takes Manhattan even after all the negative reinforcement it would take any learning creature to conclude they were something to be avoided. In fact, they seek out movies that any even marginally functioning "normal" person would recognize immediately as something to be avoided. Five Across the Eyes, Zombies, Zombies, Zombies, the worst direct to video fare even the Germans can offer. And they also bitch about and praise movies completely out of proportion to their merits, before they've seen them, after they've seen them, and under the right circumstances while they're seeing them. The ultimate sanction for them is to not watch the movie in the theaters. An exception can be made, of course, for those very rare cases where their childhood has been authentically raped. <p> And they have arguments, just like the one you're having now. <p> Carry on.
-
Good to see Cletus van Damme back in action. I hope he plays the Hudson of the bunch.
-
....and his casting BLOWS in this too....<P>That nose of his will probably be the scariest thing in this....<P>I'm hoping for the best for this, but am fearing the worst.
-
...Brody's nose is essential to the plot of the movie. It's what makes him such a sought after trophy. <p> That there's like bagging a twelve point buck.
-
My problem is people having venemous, bile inducing hatred for a film that is still shooting. Being wrong about something you were skeptical about is one thing but when the hate reaches a certain level for a movie you've never seen, is it still even possible to even enjoy it anymore? I love arguing movies but sometimes on here it's like you're debating a fanatic. Not that I'm trying to take away from other people getting childhoods raped and whatnot.
-
...for spoiling the climax of the movie. Brody is cornered with a couple other survivors. As the predators close in he uses the only weapon he has left, a length of piano wire, to garrote off his nose. Robbed of their prize the predators depart as a noseless Brody collapses. <p> There's a stinger, though. Brody wakes up in the hospital where a smiling doctor tells him they were able to preserve his nose until it could be surgically reattached. Brody tries to claw it off and orderlies put him in restraints. As they leave his room a predator shifts into view by the curtains. <p> True fact. JettL showed me the pages while he was doing the rewrite. <p> In a dream.
-
JettL is also effects supervisor as well, isn't he? And chief fluffer?

<p>Make it happen Raimi. This?</p> <p>Hmm. Wait and see.</p> <p>Oh yeah:</p> <p>Jeff bridges+Kurt Russel=</p> <p>STARMAN Vs. THE THING</p> <p>Or, just this picture for the moment:</p> <p>http://tinyurl.com/ybmbntd</p>
-
...yeah, but I thin a lot of that, for any movie, is just dramatic overstatement. <p> And a smaller, but not insignificant part of it is just people deliberately screwing with folks who might like the film. I don't think that's so much the case in this talkback, but in those Avatar talkbacks the later was just rampant. <p> I say you state what your opinion is and don't worry about it much. If you see someone post something worth arguing about and they seem worth arguing with have at it. <p> And in those cases where someone just flat out hits your button, post something that just points at 'em and laughs. It'll make them madder than they made you. <p> Come on, is there really anything anyone could say about some on set snapshots that would make any reasonable person decide to not watch the movie. <p> This is reading tea leaves, and you wouldn't go back to a gypsy who told you things would probably be all right, but you'd have apply yourself, eat right and be nice to people, and there was still a chance, though so remarkably small you should never count on it, that a safe might fall on you or you'd win the lottery. Where's the fun in that?
-
...about the same percentage of people saying bad stuff and good stuff are going to end up with their butts in a seat. <p> It's the way of the geek.
-
Your way sounds better than getting pissed at all this shit. Thank you for improving my fuck some people skills.
-
...and read the last page. <p> Brody's screams fade into the distance the camera retreats down the halls of the hospital. Snatches of conversation can be heard that make it clear this is a hospital specializing in plastic surgery. "Mr, Garcia, with a band I believe we can reduce your weight by more than four hundred pounds"..."Mr. Sutherland, your son has been born with eyes too small and closely spaced to ever appear normal"..." Heidi,your breasts now measure 44FFF and you have three sets of lips that may be attached with this simple adhesive"..."Mr. Halle, with my new technique I can use metal extensions to add seven inches to your height"... <p> Guess they're setting up the sequel.

God I hate that guy.

Ext: New York City: Day <p> "I've told myself I could pass any test a fag could pass" <p> Fly over shot of a high school coming out of the mist and foggyness of a typical American morning <p> "But sometimes, you have to do a move so bold, that there's no turning back." <p> Camera swoops down in a gib shot and we see feet stomping as teens leave 'smokers hill' and head towards the every American Billy-all-t33n ipod loving highschool. <p> INT: School <p> Peter Parker walks down the hall to class, getting shoved around like you would assume any emo fag probably would <p> Peter Parker VO continues "but after I passed those tests, and took those risks, I realized, I JUST COULDN'T QUIT YOU" <p> Peter Parker pulls out a picture of his lover, a teen male student, and retires to the mens room. <p> EXT. LAB: DAY <p> Camera is low to the ground, following the wheels of a surplus military cart. All around boxes of UNOBTANIUM are lying around, marked with a vulture insignia. <p> "The names vulture" says a bald headed man, bending over a box of unobtanium and pulling out a few kilos for use in his vulture suit. <p> "Soon, vultress will be free" <p> Camera slowly zooms away as we go through a window out into the city and realize his headquarters is built right in the Wayne Water facility, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. But then we zoom right back in, and see a crazy spider on the window sill of the vultures lab, escaping. <p> Camera follows spider as it's taken away by the gusts of wind far above the city streets, and is gusted over the the local highschool, into the mes bathroom ventalation system <p> We hear Peter jacking his peter in the stall, but we can't see much. Camera focus in on the shadow of Peter releasing, whilst simultaneously having a spider lower it's self upon him. <p> Close up of spider biting arm, parker goes down. <p> tbc..........

Teddy Artery, I don't doubt Rodriguez with a geek project
by MattmanReturns
I do doubt Brody though. I dunno what it is about that guy, but I just wanna punch him right in his nose.
-
While many of the Predators in the photos posted in AVP Galaxy look shorter than the basketball player height of Kevin Peter Hall... the look of the PREDS closer match my memory of the ORIGINAL movie. This is good.
-
EXT: Lab <p> "Soon, once my vulture equipment is in place, I can bust out Carnage. I'll need his help to set vultress free. Hundreds will likely die, by my hands, but I need back up from a fierce and meddlesome foe. Time to bust him out. New York, prepare!" <p> We see Vulture busting out of his building window, sending dozens more radioactive spiders into the city accidentally, do to his bumbling hispanic cleaning lady always leaving the spider jar in whacky fucking areas (directors blurb: this is to set up 5PID3RM3N). VUlture sets his sites on New York preparatory academy. <p> "A fire at the school will distract the police, giving me the time I need to bust carnage out of his AVATAR chamber." <p> The camera shakes wildly as Vulture unleashes his load all over the school, the full load out of weapons and missles blowing up the school in all areas, kids getting squished by rubble. <p> <p> <p> tbc....

"They call me Billy Every Teen" spouts Peter as he walks into Freshmen Orientation late. Coach Quattricch glares his way, obviously giving a great speech. <p> "Your not in Kansas anymore...you are on Pandorientation, Freshman Pandorientation. Every Sophomore, Junior, and Senior that squats in the hall wants to kick your ass and use your lunch money to buy jujubees from the cafeteria..." "I will try and stop this from happening, I will fail. To not get your ass kicked, you have to have a strong anti faggitude" <p> Parker hides from view <p> Suddenly the building rocks, missile ordnance destroying everything. In slow mo we follow parker as he does 3D dives saving people, shooting his organic shooters. <p> Peter just accepts his new powers, without even really freaking out, and then realizes that he sparkles when he saves people. In the firery darkness noone could tell who he was, he would have to guard his secret safely. For now, at least, his romance with Romeo was safe. <p>tbc

think it takes place on alien world Brody's nose??? nice! maybe he just looks like a regular guy, not a Bradd Pitt, but a normal guy fighting for his life. other than muscles the original predator crew were no visual prizes.

Wow Brody, you fell HARD.
-
Part one for me is simply the finest ensemble ever for an action movie. Even the expendables will be hard pressed to beat the phenominal casting of the first movie. All of the characters felt perfect. <p> Predator 2 is a unfairly maligned sequel which builds on the mythos of the first and also has an amazing genre cast. Bill Paxton, Danny Glover, Ruben Blades, Mary Conchito Alonso, Gary Fucking Busey, Morton Downey, heck I'll even give it Adam Baldwin.... ,p> AVP and AVP:R are absolute atrocities that defame and cheapen two legendary franchises. <p> Please don't make another Predator movie that I cannot watch more than once.
-
Predator 2 isn't as good as the cellestially touched Predator but it still looks positively Shakespearean compared to any of the AVP or Alien 3/4 movies.

In a scene that would shit all over District Nine, we see the XWing shot it's cannons into a l;arge patch of people, all of them exploding into goo as crackling bones explode everywhere. <p> As the camera shakes and lurches back, we see a sick figure basking in the goo where once a hundred china men stood.....CARNAGE........TBC

cool another Predetor film with a big cast of bad asses

some who are noticable actors, worked for the first two, i'm looking forward to this one.

"Spidey, how you doin farm boy? "Glad to see you you in one piece, boy! Yeehaaaw." <p> "Got some imperials on the radar, let me take em out" <p> Camera goes to a tight ground shot where we see MaX weinberg and the Weinberg 7 eating lunch, and two animated torpedos carrying heavy ordnance are shot from the XWing, in cartoonish preCGI, and blow the fuck outta the band. <p> "Imperial Scum" <p> "Jay!" SHouts spidey from the ground. "Land that thing" <p> "Bleep bloop FOREMAN bleep" <p> "Venomtwooo, I we just murdered some civilans, it's the Shwartzkof way." "Just land the XWing, will ya?"
-
that's either really good news or really bad news.
-
ala AVP ending. That was All Star team shit.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
Adrian Brody = Bear Grylls = predator killing badass fucker! seriously though, why not let bear be a member of the cast, is there honestly anyone in the world truly more qualified than him to be in a film such as this?
-
was one of the best parts of that movie, a shot straight from the comic books.
-
Equal big studio attempts at reviving long dead properties. Franchise that is all studio, no creativity. Total bullshit. Fuck you for still trying to milk it. Even if this film is watchable, those that have come before it made it worthless.
-
Maybe it's predator day care.
-
If only for that sex scene. BEST. SEX. EVER.

"depending on the garnish turds on a plate can be a lot of fun!"<p> Hehe. Nice line Robbles. And it was the 2hr+ cut of RED CLIFF I rented... but on the strength of that i've already ordered the 4hr+ blu-ray from Amazon. If you enjoy historical epics then I 100% recommend it.<p> I do think that as movie geeks we often 'consume' turds willingly. But there has to be a line. When it's the 'same old shit' then I think it's fine to pass. For example I saw the first TRANSFORMERS and didn't think much of it. Hearing that the sequel is even worse, i've decided to pass. Did the same for AVP2. As the saying goes; Fool me once...
-
Nipple on Batman. Flames on Optimus, and now high heeled Preds. Next it will be tits on a fucking Alien... oh wait. Not a dime of my money unless this talkback is fucking rocking about how great it is after the second weekend. FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD.

shit that looks lame.
-
well um there was AVP2 to dispel that..
-
It should have started immediately from the end of T3, the nukes had gone off and him and Kate were in the bunker, fast forward 8 years or so and they are back on the surface, scouring for useful things when they come across something: Skynet's Time Lab. Knowing what has to be done Connor then goes on a recruitment mission to find Kyle Reese, however when he does he discovers he is still just a young teen (as his mother told him he would be). Meanwhile the T800s are being built early, and instead of them finding out the T800s are unleashed upon whats left of the human population. Marcus Wright then emerges with the T800s and shows that hes human when he single handedly saves John and Reese from a squad of T800s. He doesn't know his purpose or why he is there, but by the end of the movie it becomes clear. Sky Net's Time Lab cannot be ran by machines. They need a human counterpart in order to run equations that computers think are untrue. As all this is going on John and Kyle have developed the signal which temporarily halts all machine function like a Sonic EMP. Arnold Makes and appearance and it shows Skynet sending the first T800 back into the past. The movie ends with John telling Kyle what he has to do, before vanishing as the Terminator in the past accomplished his goal - He killed Sarah Connor. 6 More years pass before Reese is finally able to break into the Timelab, he finds out what coordinates the terminator was sent to, and thru the help of Marcus is himself sent back into the past. The movie ends with Connor re-appearing as though nothing had ever happened to him, only this time he has a whole new set of memories thanks to the time line changes. The movie ends fading out on a naked Connor as he re-appears through a time bubble. Paving the way for : Terminator - The Time Wars.
-
now let's see how the rest holds up come release day. Hopefully better than a new Van Damme film that brought back Lundgren and ignored 'The Return' ever happened.
-
The first one is disappointing for the stupid "shifting pyramid" concept that seemed to me like it was designed expressly to keep set builders employed. But if you just look at the alien and predator stuff, they did a really good job. Design, rendering, costumes, fight choreography, etc. are all pretty great. And at the end, the predator neutralizes the acid inside an alien skull carapace and gives it to the human woman for a rather cool looking shield. That was a great nod to the original AVP comics series. <p>The second AVP is undeniably shitty as a movie, but it's so fucking CRUEL to the human characters that it too has earned my respect. Every single death is just NASTY and/or would at least be meaningful if the director could make you give a shit about the characters. But seriously, with the improved picture on home video (it's brighter than in theatres), I don't see why this movie gets such intense hatred. <p>I know I plan to rewatch AVP:R at some time in the future. Can't say that for most of the movies I have seen in the two years since it came out. I'm not saying it's good, just that it's good if you're a fan of aliens and predators just killing the living fuck out of people.
-
Ready Preddie?
-
Stop doing that shit. The alien takes on a few characteristics of the host, it's not going to pop out with a fucking predator face! That's fucking stupid.. the LAMEST form of "imagination"!
-
It was while I was at the movies seeing 15 Minutes that I realized "hmmm, I think I'm seeing too many movies. I need to raise the threshold here." Because man, is that a dismal, depressing, stupid and pointless, ugly movie. It's like AVP2 without any fantastical shit going on... just depressing.

Nice. I applaud them for including gay Predators, that's groundb
by altoandando
They look sooooo sassy there. I can see the SIngle Ladies parody coming on any day now. Fabulous!
-
at the original Predator...Carl Weathers, Jesse Ventura and Arnold? Not exactly top notch actors...was it entertaining? sure, but amazing? not remotely.
-
The Preds look totally unimpressive, the cast looks idiotic, not to mention a no-name director, sucky script, lack of Legacy Effects and Brody the Muppet. At least there's still hope for the Alien prequel, (should it ever emerge).
-
...Carl, Jesse and Arnold are dying right now just so they can come back from the grave to kick your ass. <p> Not great actors...did you even see The Running Man? Action Jackson? <p> Pretend there's more outrage here, too, okay?
-
...as an entry into either one of these franchises it was terrible. Completely awful. Can't agree with the people who hate it more. <p> But if it had been the same movie with the same cast and the same stupid things going on but with vaguely different creature designs and titled Hunting Ground or Food Chain...it would have been an okay bit of late night action/horror crap. I mean there were a couple decent set pieces in it that would have been reasonably enjoyable if you weren't aware they were watering and dumbing down to unbearable proportions one great and one okay movie monster.

look at those guys faces -- suckage already FAIL

Cancer-stricken Dennis Hopper files for divorce from his deathbe
by UGG

"And Rodriguez is there too. C'mon he's the producer. I mean this guy has a knack for making really, really, really cheap movies look like a million bucks on-screen."<p>"Um, yes im aware one million bucks isnt actually much for a Hollywood movie, it's not much at all, but um... well, the money - or lack of it - is up there on screen. That's all im tryin to say."<p> "I mean how much do you really need to make a predator movie? Brody's doin it for free to try and toughen up his gaylord image. Larry Fishburne - yeah I still call him Larry, he fuckin hates it - he's doin it for a pizza with all the toppings and all the candy he can eat. And the predators themselves are just three mexicans wearing high heels to make em look tall."
-
I'm sure my own father will do that. He'll probably use his last dying breath to call my mother a dumb cunt.
-
Predator: "So ... you're married." <P> Summer: "Yeah. Crazy, huh?" <P> Predator: *Initiates self-destruct sequence on arm computer*
-
both AVP movies worked as popcorn fun, although the second one was waay too dark.
-
also I wasn't even aware he was on his deathbed at least he hung on till this year,
-
hmmn I can't see that being a good thing
-
i must have gotten a crappy copy because i still have to raise the brightness level to watch. and as for the "high heels" comments, all three have extension heels on their feet, its probably to make them even taller. and i'm sure those are used for shots where the feet aren't visible.
-
It's still a dark movie, but it's much brighter than it was in theatres. I remember in the theatre, there were multiple scenes where I literally could not tell what the fuck was supposed to be happening. Especially towards the end, in the rain. <p>And seriously you gotta give AVP:R credit for being absolutely merciless towards the characters. I also want to say the directors show promise. Not with direction of actors so much, but with the shooting of action. Their style is so direct and doesn't use show "pose and strike" gayness that infects so many big movies.
-
I want Predator V Dracula...now that would be a movie.
-
I have AvP:Rectum on DVD and it is virtually unwatchable, both content-wise and in terms of lighting. I can't even imagine how opaque the fucking thing must have been in theaters. They tried to emulate Ridley Scott's "less is more" approach but failed on every single level. Also, the movies from Toetag Productions are "absolutely merciless" to their characters but are complete shit as well. <p> The Strauss brothers are a couple of ghastly hacks who should never be allowed to work again. End of story.
-
I don't know about the DVD, but the blu-ray is definitely brighter... <p>I'm not surprised to hear they're hacks. I'm not really defending their movie, just saying I liked the gore and nastiness in it... for some reason I like monsters killing people but, lately, not people killing people.
-
It was okay. I didn't see any of the sequels.<p> But I am fucking PUMPED for this. Rodriguez plus Antal on a sci-fi genre flick? Fucking-A. YOu could call it "Ugly Things that Kill Shit" and I'd be there.
-
= Movie FAIL.
-
...really shows how bad those guys were. Imagine that scene done with a director who knew what he was doing, I mean pregnant women are getting face raped and re-impregnated by a monster then most likely having their unborn baby eaten alive inside, thats fucking horrific, but in this movie it was a schlocky shit scream scene, a good director would have made something to rival the shockingness of the first movies chestburster scene.<p> I see your points about the killing of the characters but that's what kinda turns it into a slasher type movie for me. Just kill em and skin em, although some of the deaths were cool and finally they were put on screen (like the face melting stuff) so I'll give them that. And I have seen the Bluray and that too was pitch black, but I think it does depend on your HDTV's contrast most likely too.
-
so I'll cut them a little more slack, but they got one more chance.
-
"It's just Alien in the jungle. Lame. The lines were so cheesy. The effects were garbage - I could see Carl Weathers' arm tied behind his back! The predator looks like Bob Marley. This McTiernan is a hack; he couldn't direct traffic. Arnold should go back to bodybuilding. Fuck Hollywood. I hate my life. Arnold, you raped my childhood. It's all been downhill since Hercules in New York. I hope you die in a fire."<p>AICN talkbacks, circa 1987.
-
i want to have a cameo of danny glover - being killed!!!!
-
The unmasked Predator has pred-breasts!
-
That was a sequel and it was something new shown, if they instead showed a model of some modified AT-AT then that would have been shit, but it was something new. There is nothing innovative or new in these pics, it's the same shit, only actually shittier looking if that's possible.
-
The problem with that argument is that Predator was loved then as it is now, in fact it was even more respected then unlike today's "get to da choppa!" arnoldisms in this shitty internet age.
-
i wish i was standing in front f you so i could punch you in the face
-
It was not an argument, but a joke - one with some element of truth to it. Of course Predator was/is beloved, and rightly so. But in those pre-internet days we took it as a given that certain movies were unequivocally liked by all. However, if the 'net had existed in 1987, we would have definitely gotten comments like that from some quarters. Not because the movie deserved them, but because online anonymity has given rise to haters attacking movies for ridiculous reasons, or just to draw attention to themselves. I guarantee that any classic from back in the day would not have been immune to such criticism, no matter how stupid, had fools a platform for their idiot opinions back then. Whether these idiots always existed and you just didn't know about them because you couldn't interact with a greater cross-section of people (or didn't keep the comapny of idiots), or whether internet forums helped foster these attitudes, remains to be seen.<p>And no, this wasn't a defense of 'Predators', if that's what you thought. That movie will likely be no more enjoyable than getting impaled up the behind with a large cactus. So slightly better than AvP Requiem, then.
-
The point with the sail barge has been covered by Turd's explanation for his AICN '87 joke. It wouldn't have mattered that it was something "new" that was being shown. Talkbackers would have been shitting all over its presentation in that August 1982 issue of Starlog -- not to mention the skiff guard with the immobile, rubber dog face. <p> It's the nature of the hater.
-
In terms of talkback facilities, this site is in the fucking stone age. Why the hell has it never been fixed or updated? Having to use HTML coding for paragraph and line breaks, long headers that stretch out the talkbacks, lack of editing functions, lag time when there's too many post at once - blah! Seriously, is anyone as irritated at these things as I get soemtimes? You know, as infamous as AICN is, why is this site so resolutely unprofessional? I could be unkind, and say that the character traits that prevent Harry from improving his wares, are the same ones that have kept him morbidly obese for decades - laziness, lack of self-respect, and general sloppiness.<P>All nothing to do with Predator/Predators at all, but waht the hell, it needs to be said (and has been said, many times in the past, all to no avail).
-
Yes i have it on blu-ray and it was still dark. the first time i watched it i didnt do nothing just to see if everyone complain was right and i could barely see in the darker scenes, especially the sewer stuff. but i eventually watched it again and raised the brightness level and it was fine. but yeah i love the brutalness of it as well, they actually killed a little kid...that made my day because usually when there's a kid in a horror movie you know they'll survive just because they're a kid. so it was nice seeing one die and die in a not so fun way. lol
-
suits to be "actual size". So funny.
-
Here goes the massive Turd again, attacking people whose opinions differ from his...because bitching about people bitching is just SO much more constructive than discussing the actual movie at hand, and anyone who he doesn't agree with him is an idiot, imbecile, waste of space, ETC. If ever AICN needed an eye-roll emoticon, it's now.
-
I notice that the Preds don't seem to be "Super-Predators" but rather unimpressive and regular in size. At least in the script, there was a reason for these particular characters to be hunting other, normal-sized Predators, which seems to have been tossed out the airlock. So I wonder what their excuse is in the final film...?
-
....this site's crappy lack of talkback abilities are long due an overhaul!<P>Get it sorted out sometime Harry, FFS!<p>Oh, and I'll give this reboot a pass if we get a Pred telling Brody "You're one ugly motherfucker!"
-
..a famous director in 15 minutes. Awww

Does your ass hurt from being shafted so many times? I bet it's still bleeding profusely from Cameron's all-out assault. And now you're back again to whine about something else. You are EXACTLY the type of person I was referring to above - no insight, no discussion, no nothing, just lame hater-isms and cackling juvenilia. So it's no surprise that you would be the one to take offense at my bitching about the bitches. As for Predators, it's barely worth discussion - it will be another in a long line of films that further denigrate one or the other of those two, once great monsters, the predator and the alien. <p>I agree,though, that AICN should add an 'eye roll' emoticon. That's definitely something that should be added, along with a 'middle finger' emoticon. I'm sure I would use it liberally in your presence.
-
rotate 90 degeers right
-
Ah gotcha. Another thing i hate about the internet is the groupthink mentality where you subtely lose your own opinion and merge with whatever the crowd thinks, like something from invasion of the body snatchers. though aicn talkbacks seem to be more immune to it in their rowdyness.
-
Oy fucking vey...Every time you post, I can't help but get the mental image of a dirty, frumpy, greasy sorry-looking 50-year-old virgin loser hunched over behind his check-out line at Walmart, spewing endless retarded vitriol onto the talkbacks on AICN while simultaneously going on about how the talkback system sucks, Harry's fat and lazy, ETC...You seem to have some real rage issues, man. And for the record, Avatar was underwhelming and unspectacular at best, a dumbed-down CGI-overkill aimed at the Phantom Menace crowd at worst. Not that I'd expect you to notice.
-
...and unspectacular at best" <p> Wow, hahaha. You know, I can respect someone who hated Avatar for any number of reasons, but to say it was "unspectacular" just shows you have no arguments of any merit whatsoever. That's like an Obama hater who can't articulate what policies he loathes and instead resorts to non-sequiturs like calling him "stupid".
-
dont see the big deal there, if the movie didnt impress them at all then it didnt. i'm sure there are many people who didnt or wouldnt like the movie at all and feel the same. that person who brought up the "groupthink" concept is right on the money.
-
I don't find excessive CGI to be "spectacular", just mind-numbing and hollow. I'd expect anyone who loved the practical effects of Cameron's earlier films (and the great effects films of the 30's-90's) to agree, but I guess we're all so over-digitized, in a decade we'll be going to theaters to the see the wavy lines that appear when you play a music file in Windows Media Player for six hours. The 3D didn't really add anything the film, and is just a gimmick from the 50's that the industry has resurrected to combat piracy, (just as when they attempted to use it to combat television and home video in the 50's and 80's, respectively). Plus: -Completely thin and derivative storyline which was totally predictable and disappeared for long stretches at a time while CGI Na'vi rode CGI dragons and horse-things -Utterly unrealized, non-existent characters with pretty horrendous dialogue, IE: "Get yo' bitch ass back to mama", and "You ain't the only bitch with a gun, bitch"! -An utterly underwhelming score from James Horner -Unambitious and recycled sound effects, including T-Rex and Raptor noises from Jurassic Park!!! And probably more. It wasn't horrible, it was just a pretty decent concept, (and a great scriptment from '95) dumbed down for the Harry Potter/Spider-Man teenie bopper audience. Hence, "underwhelming and unspectacular"). <p> But as long as there's lots of CGI, who gives a shit, right? YAY CGI! MORE CGI! Out-Lucas Lucas, Jimmie!

"Avatar blues" I enjoyed the movie immensly but even I think this is going a bit far. <p> http://tinyurl.com/y8qu54s <p> For those who can't be assed <p> James Cameron's completely immersive spectacle "Avatar" may have been a little too real for some fans who say they have experienced depression and suicidal thoughts after seeing the film because they long to enjoy the beauty of the alien world Pandora. On the fan forum site "Avatar Forums," a topic thread entitled "Ways to cope with the depression of the dream of Pandora being intangible," has received more than 1,000 posts from people experiencing depression and fans trying to help them cope. The topic became so popular last month that forum administrator Philippe Baghdassarian had to create a second thread so people could continue to post their confused feelings about the movie. "I wasn't depressed myself. In fact the movie made me happy ," Baghdassarian said. "But I can understand why it made people depressed. The movie was so beautiful and it showed something we don't have here on Earth. I think people saw we could be living in a completely different world and that caused them to be depressed." A post by a user called Elequin expresses an almost obsessive relationship with the film. "That's all I have been doing as of late, searching the Internet for more info about 'Avatar.' I guess that helps. It's so hard I can't force myself to think that it's just a movie, and to get over it, that living like the Na'vi will never happen. I think I need a rebound movie," Elequin posted. A user named Mike wrote on the fan Web site "Naviblue" that he contemplated suicide after seeing the movie. "Ever since I went to see 'Avatar' I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na'vi made me want to be one of them. I can't stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it," Mike posted. "I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in 'Avatar.' "

the only thing I was dissapointed about was the exclusions he made from it, but I think it was a bit dumbed down so the whole Earth could enjoy it. And hey look, it payed off.

This movie seems to have attracted a conglomeration of unstable whackos and nutjobs! I don't remember anyone reacting to Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Matrix or anything else like this. <p>"Yes, I'll kill myself, and then I'll be resurrected as someone who can lick Princess Leia and Seven of Nine on the face at the same time"!!!

Would Hitler have enjoyed Avatar?

our own world and turned the vast majority of it into grey sludge and strip malls, people would be able to go outside and enjoy the beauty of their world and not kill themselves so they can "go live" in Jim Cameron's.

Yea, pity it was a game you couldn't actually play though. The haters were right on the money with Avatar - lots of pretty CG, wafer thin substance. In five years time everyone will be like "Avatar..meh. What the hell was all the fuss about?". As for Predators, who the fuck cares? This will be another shitty PG-13 no blood and gore piece of crap. Even if they wheel Ahnolt out it won't save it. And Rodriguez is a fucking pussy, I can't stand that hack.

If Cameron had included everything from that scriptment
by Turd_Has_Risen_From_The_Grave
Avatar would have been 6 hours long and cost $500 million dollars to make. It's a neccesary evil to prune things down. I'm sure a few of those discarded bits and pieces will show up in the sequel anyway, in some form or other.<p>BTW, Fat Ass Fucker, people will be 'dissatisfed with the film later on just like so and so...' Lame. Just absolutely fucking lame. Is that all you've got? First, Avatar was supposed to be a technical disaster, then a financial one, then audiences would apparently hate the movie, according to you clowns. It decisively proved you wrong on all counts. It also became critically acclaimed, and proved itself to anyone with common sense (which certainly isn't you) to be a damn good movie. So you fuckers were shafted and shamed. Therefore, all you've got left in the tank is the pathetic comeback that people will eventually 'see the light' and turn on the movie. Weak sauce. Good for a chuckle, though. You're fucking Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons brought to life. Group think? You and your fellow joyless haters are a form of collective retard think. Sadly, there is no cure.

From an interview with Cameron by MTV I think <p> Regarding a director's cut: "The director's cut is what we release. What we do is we do a special edition, where you could select a longer version of the film that had some scenes reinstated. But it's really more of a fan version than a director version. [The fan version will be] 10 or 12 minutes longer. Something like that."<p> Regarding whether Avatar 2 will be his next project: "There's a possibility of doing another picture in between. But I think we'll certainly get busy talking about what the strategy is, when it makes sense to do it, and laying any technical groundwork that needs to be done. These are big projects."<p> About the sex scene: "I think we took out a good ten seconds out of that scene. So I think it's one of those cases where the fantasy vastly exceeds the reality."<p> Hopefully some things maybe in there or the sequal as you say.
-
anyone know what the rating will be?
-
You're the one who starts ranting about the "idiots and wastes of space", anytime someone expresses an opinion different from yours...which sounds much closer to Comic Book Guy than I. <p>Before Avatar came out, you were telling people who disagreed with you to kill themselves, (which your fellows obsessives seems to be doing anyway), which is INSANE. <p> So let me make this perfectly clear: people here can express themselves however they wish, and say whatever they want, (unless it's enough to get them banned, in which case they'll just be saying the same stuff under a different name). Nobody GIVES A SHIT about your opinion of them, nor did anyone ask for it; it's not your place to pop up and start labeling people who you don't agree with as "idiots, imbeciles wastes of space", or anything else as you've done in the past and continue to do. Just because you're a desperately unhappy, embittered schmuck with emotional issues, don't inflict your rants of those with despairing opinions on said other posters, (unless someone asks you, "Gee, Turd, am I an idiot")! Which quite frankly, I don't see happening. <p> BTW, I have to predict that you'll attempt to use the hypothetical question above as an insult in your next post, and utterly fail: just wanted to let you know how predictable you are.

"Before Avatar came out, you were telling people who disagreed with you to kill themselves."<p>Never said anything like this. I think you're confusing me with someone else. But if the shoe fits, right?<p>"So let me make this perfectly clear: people here can express themselves however they wish, and say whatever they want"<p>Of course they can; that was ever disputed. Just as I am free to call out morons wherever I see them.<p>"it's not your place to pop up and start labeling people who you don't agree with as "idiots, imbeciles wastes of space", or anything else as you've done in the past and continue to do."<p>FUCK YOU. I'll post whatever I wish. You are not a moderator here. If you don't like my comments, don't damn well read them. My initial posts in this thread were not even addressed to you. You just popped up like a bad smell, and made it your business to start finger-wagging at me. Get stuffed.<p>"Just because you're a desperately unhappy, embittered schmuck with emotional issues"<p>Ha, you wish. No, it's just a lot of fun yanking your chain, you sucker. Apparently you take things posted here very literally and seriously. Does a dry sense of humor go completely over your head? <p>"All you DO is post retarded shit endlessly, mostly about how you think everyone else just posts endless shit."<p>Nope. The majority of my posts here have NOTHING to do with that whatsoever. But, like I said, if the shoe fits, right? Don't let the facts get in the way. As for 'everyone else' - er, no. I reserve my wrath for idiots like you, Tranny Formers, Nerd Rage, etc.; people like that. You know - the 'special' kind of people. <p>"BTW, I have to predict that you'll attempt to use the hypothetical question above as an insult in your next post, and utterly fail: just wanted to let you know how predictable you are."<p>I would never stoop to such an obvious ploy. A great comedian writes his own jokes. But if you really want an answer to that question - well, you do the math. Dang, couldn't resist!
-
That poster fetched a pretty penny on e-bay, I can tell you.
-
...you know, I keep promising myself that I won't post another comment about Avatar. See, I'm one of those people in the middle, and there's no room for them. I loved that my kids loved it, and it sure was a show. <p> It was certainly the best summer movie of the year, in spite of the fact that it came out in winter. And it was a technological triumph and should be lauded for that. It was a spectacle of the highest order, and, given that one job of a movie is to simply entertain, it must be judged a success. But it wasn't very deep, the recycling was too omnipresent and too obvious, and some of the dialogue should have been fixed after the first time anyone on set heard it spoken out loud. <p> Is it a great movie? Well, what do you think of those old MGM musicals, or Esther Williams? They were showing the audience things they had never seen before, they were grand spectacle, I'm sure for the people of the time they were an incredible show. And they made tons of bank. <p> They were great shows. But they weren't great movies. Now Avatar is more than those movies were. But was it more than Jurassic Park, a movie that was considered extraordinary now but whose stock has fallen over the years as the effects it displayed have become increasingly commonplace? <p> I think it's a little better than that, too, but I'm not sure it's a lot better. The stock for this movie will probably not fall as steeply as that of Titanic or Jurassic Park, but over time, unless Cameron does something like create a trilogy which in its whole creates something that is as magical story-wise and character-wise as spectacle-wise (a possibility I do not entirely discount) will fall. Doesn't mean it wasn't a great show. Three more things: <p> I will never comment on Avatar again. <p> I am probably lying. <p> This damned talkback is about a Predators movie.

And he didn't even sign it.

"Before Avatar came out, you were telling people who disagreed with you to kill themselves." "Never said anything like this. I think you're confusing me with someone else. But if the shoe fits, right?" <p>Actually, no, you said something EXACTLY like that, repeatedly: namely, I distinctly recall the words, "kindly walk into a fire", I believe directed at TrannyFormers. And it was hardly said as a joke. <p> I'm not going to bother to respond to the other points in your last post, because it's just become increasingly obvious that you are a badly deluded idiot with a skewered view of yourself and your posts on this site. You're hardly a "great comedian", except in an unintentional way. "Dry sense of humor"? What in the name of god are you talking about? See, I was under the impression that in order to make an attempt at humor one had to make an ironic or vastly-exaggerated comment on an existing matter; you just babble on about how talkbackers who you disagree with are idiots. <p> You know what; I'm not going to argue with someone will say anything to win an argument. So fine, in the future, I'll just ignore you, and you can continue to post how most others people on the site are idiots and then act surprised when it pisses people, (in this case, me), off. Have fun. <p>BTW,sansara07, it's too late; he's posting from inside Cameron's luggage!

I've blacklisted anything Robert Rodriguez creates
by JohnCarterOfFarts
because of his Will Smith-esque nepotism. Sorry, your child hasn't done enough to earn the title of filmmaker. They are not qualified to star/act/write screenplays for motion picture films. Will Smith and Robert Rodriguez do not care about films. They are businessmen, who are passing on the torch to the next generation, and the fact that people like Harry Knowles are enabling and promoting people like Robert Rodriguez I find disgusting and revolting. I saw through Shark Boy and Lava Girl thank you very much. Nepotism has no place in business or entertainment.

All up in your mouth. Does anyone really think that Mr. Rodrigo is going to make a decent Predator movie? Seriously, another movie with a tough supermodel as one of the leads. Can't buy it dude. There's only been 2 believable Female action leads in the history film...and they're Linda Hamilton in T2 and LT Ripley Weaver. They are from supermodel pretty, but they really made you think that they could kick your ass.

Yea, the only awards I have any respect for are the Critics Choice and the Oscars because, unlike the GGs, they are not voted for by 90 clueless foreign journalists whom everyone in the industry agrees are botton-feeders and hangers on. Seriously, the GGs are almost on par with the MTV movie awards I.e they are a bit of a joke. And since when did a movie making money automatically make it good? Blade Runer made nothing commercially, so Avatar must be much better, right?
-
Wow, you respect the Oscars? The phoniest, laziest and most politicized award show in existence? Nice going. <p> As for the Avatar numbers, no, it doesn't make it a good movie. However, since the haters made a big production of crowing about Avatar's bombing at the box office before it was released, it's extra pleasurable for those of us who enjoyed the movie to rub it in their grubby faces.

Looks like the Predator reboot has a bunch of mini predators on clogs, a bunch of soft skinned mercenaries, a chain-gun a woman could lift and no jungle. When the pieces don't add up, neither will the movie. At least I can hope for a decent score... Can I? Rodriguez should have got Stephen Lang from Avatar to lead an all-star, aging but war-torn cast.

by Fa_Tass_DinoMolester
And Avatar ain't it. Lords of the Rings, original Star Wars, original Alien/s, yes. Avatar...nope. <p> BTW, know what else was popular? George W. Bush and the War in Iraq. Also, McCarthyism, Nazism, a few thousand years ago ritual animal sacrifice, ETC. Also, gangsta rap, reality TV, MTV, Britany Spears, and so on. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it has any merit. The great unwashed masses are FUCKING RETARDED, and will swallow any shit that shoved down their faces, (as will the Avatards, evidently).

The last two Predator-related scores were horrifically bland. It's bad enough they're not using Stan Winston's people, please bring back the original composer!

So can we stop calling everything "preda"-word now? Predalien is not a fucking word. Predadog and Predabirds are not fucking words either.<p>I would love love love to see a kick ass Predator movie in the vein of the first two. But two things make me afraid it ain't happening here:<p>1) "Preda" fucking anything; read: ASS<p>and 2) Rodriguez; seriously...I know he knows Tarantino and is supposedly brilliant and perhaps he has been on occasion but everything I've seen from this guy sucks sooner or later. How awesome can you be when you make a vampire movie that sucks horrible ass the moment the vampires show up? And what the fuck is up with letting his kids write screenplays and putting whatever girl he's boinking in his films? Guy works like he's 17 years old....which would be fine if he did amazing shit...<p>Again...I want to be wrong here but this guy ain't the sliced bread everybody seems to make him out to be...

THIS is the guy who made ALIENS, not the guy who crapped out T2, True Lies, and Titanic. I'm happy he's back. It's been awhile, Jim, glad to see you haven't forgotten your roots. Oh, and ALIENS is still your best movie, but AVATAR is a close second.

I don't get that one…

much better than Predator 2 - much more aligned with the first. After the plain outright odd AvP and the degrading AvP2, its about time we got a good predator film. The predator falcon/dogs made for great scenes...as did the crucifixion scene. I think these ideas are cool and really tie in with the tribal/advanced dichotomy of the predator. looking forward to this one...

it was a visually stunning and entertaining film, full of cameronisms. at its core, the movie had strong themes but was very broad in its approach. unfortunately this will stop it becoming a revered classic. what else is there to say other than "It made me want to fuck a blue cats ass"

men s assholes<p>fingering man ass<p>fingering James Camerons ass and licking his fingers<p>painting his own ass blue and driving down the street where all the gay bars are begging to get finger buggered<p>growing his hair long so he can shove his own ponytail up his ass

...retorts... <p> stick with the gay shtick though, you obviously speak from a lot of experience

First...Avatar deserves any technical merits the "shows" bestow upon it. Best Picture of the Year? No fucking way in a million years. If you believe it is, then you should rent a room with the "I miss Pandora" idiots and choke yourselves into the dark abyss. Second, People are talking about shitty leaked photos and saying the film looks cheap because they don't look like the shitty leaked photos from Fangoria 20+ years ago? Are you fucking serious? I suggest you get in on the aforementioned hotel room before it's all full...

nice 2 line failure. you come at me, you better have more than ass play and CAPS. maybe next time you wait for me to put the bullseye on your forehead before you throw some limp wristed comment.

I don't mean simplistic, since there are movies with simple plots that are truly great but sitting 2nd row from the front and with 3D specs didn't mask the retarded shit like a band suddenly rebelling against their commander out of nowhere because they think he's mean, led by a guy who's barely been there a few months just because "he has a big heart"? Michelle Rodriguez's character made no sense, why in the middle of an attack she just goes "this is wack yo! fuck all yall. bitch this and bitch that" and starts fighting the other ships (?) Who the fuck let her into a military mission of such apparent importance? The evil general was a cartoon, i can pretty much guess extra dialogue for him and it would be added in "i'm gonna open up a can of whoopass!" "go cry to momma" "lets tag and bag these sorry sounsabitches". Evil Arnie had more complexity than this Elmer Fudd asshole. WHat a shitty movie.
