AVP: Alien vs. Predator 8/2 @ 10 PM ET

This is definitely a n00berrific frak. There should be some kind of alert on this thread. Danger! This frak will provide no new info or insight. It is full of questions and squeals of horror. Enter at your own risk! :eek:

There’s no way that I would watch this at quarter til 11 pm
by myself. shudder

have you seen any of the Alien movies?

at least you’re watching the f/x sanitized for broadcast version. maybe it’ll be a bit less terror-inducing :slight_smile:

I saw the first one a long time ago. I listened to the podcast today. Does that count?

This is a lot more sci-fi/action than horror. AVP:R is definitely horror.

I’ll kinda-sorta blind frak along. I’ll need something to watch tomorrow instead of doing work. :smiley:

I’ll help as much as I can.

Predators.

Technically, though, the Predators are aliens, and the Aliens are predators.

For the sake of ease of communication, though, the Predators are the one that use technology. The Aliens, usually known by the fandom as Xenomorphs, don’t. Since they’re both alien races, using the name “alien” isn’t really very descriptive…

sure! just wanted to know if you were familiar with the “Alien Xenomorph” (what Badger called it the other night)

awwww! Badger’s gonna be our noobiesitter! :slight_smile:

what’s AVP-R??

So glad Badger’s blind frakkin. I need a noobiesitter!
:smiley:

As you go along with the Alien(s) movies, it becomes clear that the Xenomorphs are far more intelligent than they appear at first, particularly the Queens. They’re bright enough to be aware of technology and weapons, even if they don’t use them.

Allow me to assist in that regard. :slight_smile:

They’re never called that in the movies, AFAIK. I think it came from the comics or the novelizations. It’s Greek, meaning “alien form”.

Who knows what trouble n00bs could get into if they’re not watched? :wink:

Aliens Vs. Predators: Requiem

AKA AVP 2

We’re frakkin’ it next week (if I remember :p).

okay, so that was a Xenomorph thawing out, right?

Didn’t expect them to make it to the pyramid this quickly.
Predator tech is impressive. But I’ve got a feeling that they’re the ones who built his
pyramid and have been keeping an eye on it ever since.
Oh… um…whoa

okay, D’s confused

Can’t see what you’re seeing, but probably, yes.

Whoa? Where are y’all in the movie?

the Predators also bear something of a resemblance to the robot version of the demon Moloch

Predators just attacked humans, now others looking at altar for human sacrifice

Wait! I’ve seen a little bit of Predator because I remember them
being invisible. Let the carnage begin!

What about?

True, but vice versa. Predator came first.

ewwww. egg laying
