Aliens Vs Predators 2 trailer

Red screen, so it will contain graphic this and harsh that.

No boobies, though, so we're safe.

Looks better than the first one (not saying much) but I'm still pissed that they got rid of the Predators = only when it's very hot thing.

No Predators with boobies?

Ok.

That's one film I don't have to worry about spending money on.

I dunno, but it looks a lot less contrived than the first one. Hopefully it won't have to have as much of an explanatory front-end, and can get to the bug-squashing sooner.

The first had a bit of a wacky pulp-esque feel. This looks a bit boring, really. AvP in the modern US?

[thebitterguy]

I always thought that was a kind of neat idea. Although now that I think of it, it does kind of invalidate my Predator/Enemy at the Gages fanfic.

Well, personally, I still wish they'd make the original comic books into a movie. Personally, though, I'm just happy to see them together on a 40-foot-wide screen. I'd been waiting for the AvP franchise to produce a movie since some time around 1992, so by the time the movie came out, it could have been stick figures and I'd have gone to see it. There were some nice bits in the first one - the interior design of the pyramid was pretty cool - but having to assume the audience were a bunch of clueless morons who needed an hour of exposition kind of hindered that one. I'm not that happy about the setting of this one - what is this, the Blair Witch Predator? But I'll make do.

I wouldn't mind a good Colonal Marines story, personally. Just not a fight in Oregon or something. That's just kinda lazy.

[thebitterguy]

Well, no male ones. They gain all the wait on their thighs.

I would kill for a good Colonial Marines story - I think I'd have to kill Uwe Boll, given the choice... Anyway, yeah, I'd be up for that in a heartbeat. I've been tempted to make a Colonial Marines fan-film, I'd just be afraid of it turning out crap like so many others have.

The bar on fan-films is actually pretty high (with such things as Troops!, Batman: Dead End, and that Star Trek: TOS episode somebody filmed. There's some good, Hollywood-quality stuff out there (I was going to say near-Hollywood, but then I realized that most of what Hollywood puts out is crap these days anyway).

[thebitterguy]

You'd need three or four good actors, and either a place with steam tunnels, or a nice thick forest.

And a guy with an Alien costume and a desire to not appear onscreen for more than a couple seconds and never in full, because they work better that way.

Someone was talking about doing FanFilm production panels at a con recently.

Yeah, that, plus a good camera and editing software, a semi-skilled director, and maybe a halfway decent script. I'm sure I can find all of those things, right? :-)
