I didnt know there was a sequel.

Of course I didnt know there was a sequel to the Rocky Horror Picture Show either till 6 years ago ( System Shock,, named a finisher after it too)
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

I wanna see Robert Rodriguez's Predator film.
Im betting it'll be set in the past.
  Predator 2's ending was Detective Harrigan in possesion of a flintlock pistol dated 1715.
  Predator with pirates sounds well cool.

Robert Rodriguez is mading the new one? It might be good.
I love Rodriguez's work so far. Planet Terror wasnt bad for no budget.

Rodriguez is also responsible for From Dusk 'Til Dawn which I have to admit I actually liked quite a bit...

Just look at Aliens.

That film still has amazing special effects and there's no CGI in the whole flick.


I was rewatching Aliens just this week. And in the breaks they were giving background info. One of the breaks they were talking about how they used yogurt and milk for lots of the effects. And then they showed a scene where Ripley was getting doused good with a bucket of dairy :D

I still like Predators as a species better then Aliens. But the first 2 Alien movies were really good.

No kidding, you ought to get into the books.

The first AVP wasnt bad, the second was so so , the third is suposed to take place a little bit in the future.
 If Robert Rodriguez is doing it it wont be an over the top sci with over the top special effects,, the man is a damn good story writer.
 That counts alot in my book.

Ive gotten tired of the whole " Man,, the special effects were AWSOME" mentality when it comes to movies.
 Yeah, cgi is cool, as long as its GOOD cgi, and ADDS to the story, not takes place of.
Ewe Boll has a habbit of relying on special effects ( House Of The Dead ) to replace shitty story writing.
Im afraid to see 2012. Im afraid its going to be all special effects and no story, much like Believe.
 The whole mentality of replacing story with visual effects to wow an udience is getting old.
Im a big fan of the movies that came out in the 70s and 80s.
Yeah, the first Star Wars trilogy had alot of special effects, but they didnt overshadow the story, they complemented it.
Im also a big fan of practical effects. Benicio Del Torro uses alot of practical effects ( Hellboy and Hellboy 2).
 Yeah, some cgi, but it was a good mix.
I keep my standards low.
That way im never disapointed.

*aggrees* Because I specifically love him as a director. But also I see what you're saying about how he uses special effects. Pan's Labyrinth was heavy on moody scenery and effects that was similar to Jean Cocteau's 1946 Beauty and the Beast. The only correction is you accidentally put the wrong first name. It's Guillermo del Toro, not Benicio Del Torro. But I knew what you meant, and what you were trying to say.
