I bet that if you can direct enough air from your mouth in a tight enough stream moving fast enough and directly toward the other person, he could hear you scream in space. *nod*

Looks like a load of crap, to be honest. The first three Aliens films were good, everything else crappy. Not seen Predator, so I can't make much of a judgement on that front.

The two Predator films were quite good. The second one is actually better; more depth, more ingenuity, but it didn't have Arnie's star power to bring in the bucks.

AVP stories COULD be very good; take a look at some of Dark Horse Comics' AVP series. But they seem to have decided to use scripts designed and written by retarded monkeys.

So long as it has lots of Aliens and Predators I'm happy.

@LG: But space sucks pretty hard, so you'd need enormous lungs.:)

Not to mention that if you're screaming in the unprotected vacuum of space, chances are you are screaming about being in the unprotected vacuum of space. ;)

I blame LG. It has to be his fault, somehow.
I liked the other trailer better. It starts off with shots of the town, eventually naming it and giving its population. Then it shows the father and son discovering the face huggers. Population drops by two. Shows some people getting killed. Population continues to drop, fast. US Airforce drops the bomb, pop = 0. :D

If you can hear the ships whoosh by in space, surely you can hear screams as well?

Movies with Aliens and Predators that have been released:

Alien
Aliens
Alien 3
Alien 4

Predator
Predator 2

Alien Vs. Predator

List of Alien and Predator movies that were good:

All of them except Alien 4 and AvP. Alien 3 was ok, but one and two were a lot better. Predator one was also better than Predator 2.

The only reason the damn series merged was because you see an alien head at the end of Predator 2 in the Predator's spaceship.

The moron who made Alien Vs. Predator needs to die in a raging chemical fire.

Alien and Aliens were epsecially good because the directors are amazing. Captain Dipshit who directed AvP did like what else was it? A shitty Dawn of the Dead remake? Pft, way to fail.

I give the movie an F, and I havn't seen it yet, nor do I need to.

Are you serious? Predator 2 was pure crap man. It just...it just sucked.

Aliens > Alien > Predator > Predator 2 > Alien 3 > AvP > Alien 4

I'm looking forward to this new movie, no matter how good or bad it'll turn out to be.

*does Predator snarl* I love that sound. :D

You cannot hear ships whoosh by in space.

I do not know where you got this idea from.

I suppose you've got some wookie friends you want to introduce me to?

Or your clone army?

Maybe a few jedi apprentices and a sith battle would do the trick?

And if either of you are serious: Stop watching TV!

Star Wars is hardly a good representation of reality :p In space, you Cannot hear a spaceship whooshing by UNLESS matter from the spaceship hits yours, at which point you will hear it as that matter hitting your spaceship.

No no, you misunderstand. I'm not saying that Star Wars is representative of reality. I'm merely suggesting Star Wars as something that the idea may have come from.

My mom is marrying one.

Yes... Lunatic Goofballs was the template for my goof troops.

I'm far stronger in the farce than any force user is in thier art!

Of course I aint serious about that... what would make you beleive I was?

Well, I think I saw a clown in the corner of my eye. <.<:p

And can you link me to that trailer, I can't find it on Youtube.

Suckiness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

P2 had actors instead of testosterone-fuelled automata, a plot instead of an extended fight scene, better writing, and a stronger take on the Predator itself.

Now, P1 is a classic; but that's because it's so pared down it's like the skeleton of a movie. With that director, and with Arnie, it works.

P2 did not try to replicate the first movie; it decided to do something else. And in many ways is actually the better movie.

That struck me as odd, too. "In space, no one can hear you scream." *VRRRROOOOOOM as spaceship flies by* This has always annoyed the crap out of me in space movies and I've never understood the argument that it'd be boring without sound effects. It seems to work for BSG and Firefly. =\

The first one was a piece of shit, but hopefully there'll be enough gore in this one to salvage the last one.

Does AvP actually have ships that swoosh by?

Because in that case...

My mom is marrying one.

Where can I join this army?

Of course I aint serious about that... what would make you beleive I was?

Because every game and movie set in space thus far have felt more like submarine games/movies than space games/movies.

The only thing that has been able to properly render space as it is, have been books that I have yet to read.

Actually - I'd like to thank BSG for providing a series that hasn't got spaceships whooshing by.

I do... for the right price.

Given how the first one was butchered more thoroughly than any of the characters in it, I don't see why you're so excited.

I bet that if you can direct enough air from your mouth in a tight enough stream moving fast enough and directly toward the other person, he could hear you scream in space. *nod*

Can you please film your attempt to do so?

@LG: But space sucks pretty hard, so you'd need enormous lungs.:)

That's a common misconception. It's not space that sucks, but your insides that blow.

The moron who made Alien Vs. Predator needs to die in a raging chemical fire.

AvP as a concept works. Read the books for the proof. It's just that the movie, its writers, producers, directors and actors all sucked.

*does Predator snarl* I love that sound. :D

Teach me how to do that!

It's hardly a good representation of anything, least of all good movies...

A couple people have said Alien 3 was good.

I beg to differ.

The movie started off by killing everybody who survived movie 2. Kinda took the awesomeness that was the second movie and crapped all over it. Just a big load of watery, smelly, brown oozing crap.

And it was a joke, I guess

I agree.

And I also disagree with popular sentiment about Alien: Resurrection. I thought it was a good movie. Not as good as Alien or Aliens, but decent. Entertaining anyway.

Much better than AvP nonsense.
