Downhome

This Andre bio is weird to watch, and yes I'm looking it over again in the same night. Since this originally aired, quite a few of those who talk about Andre have passed on, it's just odd.

Still doesn't change how fucking stupid they presented the entire thing. I had to just laugh at certain things after that happened, and many people in the theater did the same. Either way, thanks for the schooling.

I just got back from seeing it, here is my short review. I didn't hate it, I didn't like it, and I'll forget about it in a few days. I think it helped a lot that I went into this film with the lowest expectations, as I said I was going to do earlier. I expected a letdown, and a bad film, and it's what we got. A totally forgettable film that sucked, then was just ok, then sucked once again. I wouldn't recommend the film to anyone, I couldn't do that in good faith especially to those who are huge fans of both Alien and Predator. If I had to chose between hating it and liking it though, I'd go with hated it. But like I said, it's a throwaway film to me. Here are a handful of things that I had against the film. First off, as everyone should expect, this film is meant not for the fans of the Alien/Predator universe, but instead for the teenage crowd. It's a film that was intended by FOX from the start to be aimed straight at the younger people, towards the people who just want to see a few monsters get killed, video game junkies, and the WWE crowd. 1) The Alien gestation period in this film lasts only a matter of minutes, instead of days like we have seen established in past films. 2) Well, apparently the Predators are not that much more talented than humans, as they seem to run and jump at about the same speed. 3) We have the Predators teaming up with that bitch in this movie, and it made no fucking sense. She kills an Alien herself, and that should have proved to the Predators that she was more than worthy prey. 3) We also have a Predator P.O.V change, I couldn't believe that. 4) One of my favorite things about the Predators is the camouflage deal. In this film, all of the predators apparently forget they even have the ability as they almost never use it. They tossed it in a couple of times, a couple of very short moments, almost like they felt they had to sometime. Instead of using it as a plot element to help what goes on. 5) This film is PG-13, so they obviously couldn't do too much with it in terms of gore. We had scenes of someone getting killed, but you couldn't see it happening, then you'd see cheap ass blood flowing on the floor or on a blade. We had, if I remember correctly, ONE chest-busting scene, but what they showed of it lasted only a fraction of a second and looked more like a puppet barely poking it's head through a piece of paper. You see, this entire film is built upon the concept that the Predators have Aliens here to hunt, and the Predators have it so the Aliens use the humans to breed. They made such a point of forcing that home, over and over again. It just seems to me that they would have made more of an effort to show more chust-busting scenes, as it was so important here. Like I said though, there is almost no gore in this film. 6) I thought it was funny as hell when that one guy looks up and without even thinking about it, begins to read the entire history of the Aliens and Predators. He had trouble doing it in the past, taking time to read things very carefully and slowly, but when it comes to reading this entire long ass HISTORY OF EVER, he can do so instantly. 7) At the end when the Predators leave, why in the hell didn't they know that the one that was killed that they took on their ship had an Alien inside of him? They established earlier in the film that the Predators could see when an Alien was inside someone, so why didn't they see it in this one? Oh I know why, silly me. They couldn't have had that cliched ending scene! 8) I think someone fucked up with the casting. The T-Rex from Jurassic Park did not pull off the part of the "Alien Queen" convincingly enough at all. Seriously, I thought I was watching Jurassic Park there at the end. In this film the Alien Queen looks to be about 50 feet tall, and in the past it's been much less than that. 9) From the moment we saw that one chick, well at least for me, I knew that she would be the last survivor. For this film, I thought that they might leave it open, but here they did not. 10) The fight scenes between the Aliens and Predators didn't come off that great in my eyes either. For all that could have been done in respect to the fight scenes, and all that they had to work with, they really dropped the ball in this movie here. And these are just a few of the plot points that I hated. It doesn't take into account various other aspects of the film that was poor. Had I went into this film expecting anything other than the worst, I more than likely would be pulling my hair out right now.

I watched it, and even came to the board to see the SD thread...but it wasn't there. I would have started one, but I figured that if no one cared enough to watch it, not many would care enough to post in it, heh. I thought it was an ok show.

How do u do that? Go to DVDTalk, then to their forums, then to their STL folder. Find the thread which is "asking for love" and respond to it as you see others do, and leave your email address in the thread. When someone buys the Seinfeld set, they will have the chance to "Share the Love", by putting in your email address. When they do that, you'll then get an email with a link to where you can buy whatever it is you are wanting, and get 10% off. When you buy it, you can do just as they did for you, for other people. You can do this for anything at Amazon.com I do believe. I used it to get the Monster Legacy Collection box set, so it's a big help for higher priced items. I've asked for love to get the Seinfeld gift box DVD set.

Use Share The Love and get 10% off.

Did RAW just freeze for anyone else?

I thought of that exact same thing not too long ago. When is his birthday anyway?

Benoit will get beat up the entire match, and will only win when Eugene finally comes out to help him.

F'n hell, did this dodgeball shit just take the place of the tag team championship match~!???

F'n hell it's an f'n dodgeball game on the PPV.

F'n hell, they are putting this shit on the PPV.

It is good. Very good. Amen!

Jericho and Edge should never work together again. Not in the ring, not in an interview, not anything. I'm hating this match.

This...this is just pathetc.

I saw Hero a long time ago.

Excuse me? Jet Li... "Hero". He's not Jackie Chan. They haven't figured that out yet. I'm sorry but you are wrong. Hero is fucking awesome, one of the best films in years.

Excuse me?

That was outstanding.

I've thought of Eugene as someone more along the lines of George Steele, but I see what you are saying. Even HHH, as we all know, molds himself after Ric Flair, and Evolution as a whole is like The Four Horsemen, with HHH/HHH, Flair/Ole, Batista/Arn, and Orton/Tully. We obviously have Benoit/Dynamite as well. Even Taker/Taker.

They are showig the bond hearing for the four guys right now on FOX.

My guy looks like a retard tossing a piece of paper.

"It's good to play together!" Oh is it? For people like this, there shouldn't even be a wait to put them to death. Just get it over with, as they obviously don't deserve to live.

His motives were fucked up, and he should be punished as much as possible. In the day and age that we lived in, there should be no excuse for a bloody twat of a moron trying to "make a point", making the FBI open up an investigation, when their time could be used more wisely, going after the real guys who do this type of thing, or whatever else. He should be charged, I don't know what with though, if for nothing else than tying up members of the FBI.

I don't see why not.
