Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Who did Nick Nolte play, the Alien or the Predator?
He played a half-alien/half-predator, who had to decide if he wanted to follow the alien way of life or honor his predator heritage. Much like Spock when he was a boy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
See, that just gives me a very jarring image of aliens with caesar cuts and pointy eyebrows running around calling people "motherfucker" and then skinning them.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
I had a teacher who used Alien vs. Predator as a positive example about certain universal themes in works of entertainment, going back to the Greeks. It was funny. And he mentioned it so often that I really felt kind of obliged to see it.
I didn't, though. So, um, my loss.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, the trailer linked to here is officially a Great Trailer. Hee!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw the trailer with no footage from the movie in the cinema yesterday. It certainly made it feel reassuring for those who worry that the movie may lose touch with the HHGTTG low budget roots.
This one? So much better.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman are so perfectly cast. I love it.

That trailer rocks so hard. It has everything: Zaphod, sperm whales, Vogons, explosions, and towels. I have serious hopes that this film does well, even for those who are HGttG newbies.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Sadly, I can't get that trailer to play for me.
