So, what's everyone think of AvsP? I was so sloshingly drunk during it that I vaguely remember small bits...but that's about it. About the only thing I do remember about it was how amazingly short it seemed... Bel |

This will be a dumb post as I was with you at the time, and we've already discussed how short the movie felt to us. But I would be interested to read what some others have to say about the movie. What I remember is that you don't see the alien or the predator till half way into the movie. Atleast that's what I think I remember...") Gen |

I haven't seen the movie yet, but a quick question... Is there a relation with the excellent video-game, or it's just a another unoriginal attempt like freddy vs. jason? |

There's no real relation between the movie and the arcade/SNES/Jaguar/PC versions of the game other than that they are all based off the same comic. The comics, as you may or may not know, cover a variety of different situations that pit the aliens against the predators, with humans/space marines either fighting or being in the middle of it all. There's a really good one called "AvsP: Deadliest of the Species" that's done by Chris Claremont...and man, it's excellent. Bel BTW, good to hear from you again. :) |

I saw it opening day, I'm ashamed to say. I'm ashamed because it really could have been a good movie. It was a good comic and had the potential to be atleast a decent movie. Bel, I think you and Gen were lucky that you were drunk. I wish I could have made it that night to get sloshed before seeing it. It was very short. I think the runtime is something like 89 minutes. With a runtime like that it is hard for an action movie to be good. It doesn't allow for plot or character development. If memory serves me the only live-action action movie to be worth seeing again is The Replacement Killers with a runtime of 89 minutes. I can't stress it enough, mainly because of my disappointment, the movie was terrible. The special effects were uninspired. The story was extremely predictable. The acting was horrible. The action sequences were carbon-copied. And, the ending was just plain absurd. The only redeeming factor of the movie was that the Predators won. Sorry to spoil it for anyone, but there it is. Maybe we'll have better luck with Resident Evil 2 or Blade 3. |

Well, I just drooled when I saw Blade 2 on the cinema, so I'm not expecting a better movie, just something memorable, specially since they're adapting another character from the comic-book: Hannibal King. And besides since Avi Arad is responsible with all marvel movie adaptations and as been doing a good work so far (not sure about Punisher because I haven't seen that one yet), so if they fucked up Blade 3, guess that mr. Arad will have their asses for dinner. |

The Punisher was a fucking disgrace. Gen and I saw it...about fell asleep halway through it...then, at the end, wished we really had. Thank God we had brought the flask of vodka in with us...sweet Jesus the movie was horrid. It's really sad too, when you read the actual graphic novel that it was based off of(Welcome back Frank). They could have cut some bits from it, and done a few things differently and it would have rocked to no end...but instead they just took a lot of the ideas and just screwed them up completely.
:( As for Blade 3, it's kinda hip. Yeah, they are bringing Hannibal in, and it looks like with the addition Whistler's daughter they are going for their own "NightStalkers" team. In the comics, the NightStalkers were made up of Blade, Hannibal and an actual vampire(can't rememeber his name)(as you can imagine, he and Blade didn't get along too well). At one point in one of the Midnight Sons saga, Blade actually went crazy and killed pretty much everyone, Hannibal, the vampire guy, Ghost Rider, fuck, everyone. It was pretty hip. I'll be very interested to see Blade Trinity. The trailer and movie clip that they've released so far haven't really done a lot for me, though they did have some hip parts(that wire that Blade is spinning around in that one part of the official trailer, and the whole "Forgot my sword" part from the clip they've released). I guess we'll see in Dec...assuming it doesn't get pushed back *again*...;) Bel |

Yeah, if they screw up on Blade: Trinity I think I'll go postal in the theater
:) Seriously, I, too may give up on movies.... Until the next week Maybe its just me, but I see a simularity with another trilogy that was damn good until the last one- The Matrix. I may be completely off my rocker, but is it just a coincedence that Blade 3 is named the same as a character off that doomed trilogy? I guess we'll see how close they come in December |
