kittydesadeI was going to make a nifty joke about the upcoming US Presidential elections, but those have all been made. Some of them amusing in their visuals. So anyway.
Chee! It was fun, for what it was. A silly action movie with barrels and barrels of slime, apparently lots of fake-snow flocking, cool Predator effects, and a lot of squealing things. And me taking bets with myself and the voices in my head as to who would make it out alive. I lost. I guessed that the archaeologist, the ice queen, and Bish.. er, Mr. Weyland (heh heh heh) would make it out alive and then the dying Mr. Weyland would go on to use the techonology he'd discovered to found a robotics company before he died that...
Yeah.
But no. Everyone died, some of them in time-delayed deaths which meant they got captured and screamed a lot off-camera while the Aliens squealed and then later on they showed up glued to the wall with a facehugger about to swallow their soul. Fun.
Hmm. Guess that wasn't Switch. Pity.
But yeah. Everyone died, even most of the Predators, which was sad 'cause I thought they were the coolest ones of the bunch right up until their masks came off and I realized they didn't even have the animal grace of the Aliens or velociraptors. I mean, eew. But it was so cute. Only one person survived, the ice queen who (as the boyfriend rightly stated) was sort of the Sigourney Weaver character. The only other thing I've seen her in is apparently Blade. Hmm. And then they made her part of the tribe. It was so cute. I wanted C3PO to be there to tell her so. Awww. Yay for tribal face scars. And then the adorable Predator surviving guy died. Awww.
Huh. Weyland was the corp that wanted to get the Aliens in the first movie. I didn't remember that.
Um. What else. Not much. The film was surprisingly lacking in faces I actually recognized. Ewan Bremmer was there, from Trainspotting. He was more annoying than he had been in either that movie or Snatch, and that's impressive. Lance Henriksen was there, because there is some unwritten rule about Lance Henriksen playing essentially the same character in any Alien movie he is in.
The temple was ... hell the whole movie was cheesy. It dripped cheddar. Velveeta. Everything. But it was good slimy fun, so hey. I give it two claws up.
And now I go to paint minis. Or maybe just lie down and rest, game nights always leave me good for nothing the next day. Whee. Oh crap. I did sign up to work Saturdays, didn't I. Aheheh. Moooo. That's going to suck. Oh well. At least it's not Saturday mornings. I hate mornings.
And now I'm just rambling. Time to lie back and eat Milk Duds.
