Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned  

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just saw a commercial for it, and i had no idea...Alien vs Predator is a real thing? I thought it was a video game. It's really a movie? Is it supposed to be funny?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Alien v. Predator is many things, including, I think, a video game. Most recently, a movie upon which I heaped disdain.

Then I noticed it starred Sanaa Lathaam, Colin Salmon, and Raoul Bova.

Huh.

It has the makings of a classic.

It's set in Antarctica, how naked can Bova get? Without being humiliated, I mean.

Maybe they'll have to decontaminate on re-entering the base. He looks full of hard-to-reach places.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so glad I don't have to see Alien vs. Predator.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I can only get the appeal of Alien vs Predator in a theoretical way, if I think of it as an update of the old Godzilla vs Mothra genre. But when I think about the probably execution, CGI on top of CGI, I think "eh."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It looks fun enough, with the fighting and the blowing shit up. I wouldn't pay to see it, but it might be enjoyable one of these days.

Also, they should remake Godzilla vs. Mothra, and Mothra should be played by Halle Berry.

To every idea a shelf...

And Godzilla should be played by Mecha-Streisand.
