The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I was ready to shit on the Predator prequel but I'm totally down for some Comanche business.

I haven't seen Joy (or Accidental Love if we're counting that?) but otherwise dude is batting 1000. He's super consistent, I think.

[The Argonaut]

Wow, Leland Orser?!

It was clear I was copying from Wikipedia and if I took his name off the list and he ever saw it, I'm sure he would be offended and I didn't see the need to do that to him. He's probably an OK guy

I think that promo image is pretty rad.

I guess theyre just action movies but the original scared the shit out of me. Maybe it was because i was so young but none of the other movies were one bit engaging/tense/scary. They morphed into terrible CGI and action heavy.

I also got super scared with the 2nd one. The Predator mas menacing, violent, ruthless.

I recall Predator 2 not as much an action flick but more of a slow-burn, noirish horror-affair. Same director as Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child which had a very different vibe than all the others in the series that I really enjoyed. They were both very dark and had a lot of nasty humans doing nasty things in the open.

I remember as being super blow away that the movie was SET IN THE FUTURE. 1997 WOWWW
