Predator is one of those movie franchises like Jurassic Park that keeps on continuing, even though no sequel ever seems to match the quality of the first installment. There's something about that first outing that makes it very re-watchable. The macho man cast, the simple yet effective plot, and those amazing one liners put it in the action movie hall of fame for me.
Is it just me, or did the typeface used in the caption make anyone else read "Saint. Arfleet" at first glance?
ReplyDeletePractically drooling over this one somehow getting published. A true "Shut up and take my money" moment.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think it'll be a Klingon noggin that's rolling around at story's end.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all your points in regards to the very first Predator movie Ross, although I personally always thought they spoiled the surprise of the Predator's origin by showing the spaceship so soon in the film.
ReplyDeleteIt was the trend-setter for the franchise! That's why it's so justly revered.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on which Worf we get. TNG Worf is cool, but DS9 Worf is badass. I want DS9 Worf to show up for this battle.

"Bat-Leth Vs. Predator!"
ReplyDeleteRated PG-13.
Dear Ross: How about Mr. Mxyzptlk merging Hal Jordan's arch-enemy with his gun-slinging successor and taking on a certain shoeshine boy's superheroic alter-ego?
ReplyDeleteYou could call it..."Underdog Vs. Simon Baz Sinestro!"
Holy Reed Richards, Batman!
ReplyDeleteYou sure over-reached on that one.
@BoobyNash: Which DS9 Worf, the one from our universe or the one from the mirror universe?
ReplyDeleteEither one, as far as I'm permanently concerned. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like our universe's Worf on DS9. The guy who fought the Jem Hadar on the prison planet without surrender is a badass. TNG never turned Worf loose quite the same way.

Oh, I don't know about that. I still consider that fateful duel with Duras pretty bad-ass. Especially when he brings the business end of that bat'leth down on Duras' dishonorable heart!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a "H**y S**t!" moment.
True, but Worf is held back for most of TNG. They turn him loosew on DS9.
ReplyDeleteBobby's right, Anonymous. Worf's DS9 showdown with Gowron was even more awesome than the Duras duel!
ReplyDeletePlus, with him being technically a widower by the series finale, as well as Martok's adopted heir, Worf would've finally been worthy of Quark's one-shot Klingon wife.
Yes, indeed, Carycomic.
