nah man, i do believe you, you always seem a very sincere
person on here

the thing is that you'd have to make me an AV, because i
think that he problem may be with the AV's i've made

everytime i try to upload one that i've made, my system
console.log keeps saying that Safari (my browser) can't load
a certain JPEG file because of extraneous bytes or something

yeah, lack of choice if you're lazy as shit and just read
the scripts your agent sends you.. "you'd be GREAT in
this.."

she should go out and find a script with a role that
she'd like to play. or at least an interesting writer and/or
director.

i hear alot of horror stories about powerbooks being shit,
but the only thing that ever went wrong with mine was that
initial cd drive issue. thing has never so much as frozen
since.
my ipod just doesn't work now. it makes me sad.

i do like how the people working at the "genius" bar in the
mac store didn't know what to do with my ipod and i had to
point out the loud whirring noise that might indicate that
the hard drive was fucked.

i like how my machine has been in 3 times, and on the second
time they managed to scratch the shit out of the left hand
side, and on the third time they managed to adjust the
display hinge so that it makes it VERY uncomfortable to use
as a laptop now

worst.movie.of.2004.

There was about two differenct occasions where it looked
like she was going to kiss the predator. The archeologist
dude could translate those "foreign" heiroglyphics in like 5
seconds....AND AND the whole beginning jumped around so damn
much. hey look I'm digging for a pepsi cap in mexico....oh
look now it's so chic climbing the fuxing anerandite.
C'mon....I know this movie was suppose to be about fighting
(a little of that to boot), but damn everything was so
unorganized. The only redeeming thing was watching the
alien queen, because she kicksass in all the movies.

I read somewhere that Anderson was forced by the studio to
cut a lot out of the film and that he himself is quite
unhappy with the current cut.

the dvd will be a directors cut bla bla BLAH BLAAAAH.

they all say that. although the pg-13 rating makes me sort
of want to believe that maybe a studio bullied him into it.
still, not even remotely entertaining.

I thought some of the fight scenes and special fx were cool.
But that's it. Bad story, bad script, just bad.

<<>>

Plot hole #1: The predators need humans to host the aliens
so they attracted the scientists to the island. These
battles happen every 100 years. In 1904, there was a
whaling crew there so that's where they got the humans. But
what about every battle before then going back to the point
in history when Antarctica officially became uninhabitable?
Did the chest bursters come out of penguins or something?

Plot hole #2: Now I'm not such a big nerd that I know the
life cycle of the aliens, but I doubt they can develop from
eggs to full grown adults in a matter of hours, if that.
But alas, that's what happens in this movie.

The retardation of the ending: A chest burster pops out of a
predator on the ship. The audience is supposed to forget
that the preds just totally dominated the aliens five
minutes ago, killing every one and their queen, while only a
handful of predators died. The preds could take care of
that fucker no problem, but instead it's going to be the
basis for a sequel.

if the sequel is triple directed by james cameron, ridley
scott and whoever made predator, i might go see it.
that woman was lame. it should have arnold teaming up with a
predator and taking on the queen.

I wrote "spoilers" inside those brackets, but they didn't
appear. Sorry to anyone who had this shitty movie ruined
for them.

Lol the movie was so shit that I left as the predators were
leaving to beat everyone out. I knew more was going to
happen after the credits. I was waiting for the chest
burster to come out of the predator. Yippeeee a follow-up
to the already House of the Dead runner up. They could have
at least added some random nudity of chics like they did in
HotD, but noooo. And furthermore to anyone that had read
the AvP comic published by Dark Horse back in the
day....wouldn't it have been so much better if they followed
the comic roots more closely. C'mon an ancient civilization
is horribe. At least have it take place on another world
where the predators would breed the aliens.

in that same piece of info I mentioned earlier Anderson said
that in his original plothole #2 you mention gets explained
- he says the predators keep the queen in some kind of
chamber that pump her full of hormones, that exhilirates the
alien's breeding cycle.

still sounds shitty, but oh well.

and on plothole #1 - that's where people ask: why didn't the
predator detonate himself?
