    Evolution vs. Technolgy. I think technologically advanced predators will win.

    Been waiting for this fun fest.. This will be one of the only movies I see at the theater this year. I betted it would happen 4 years ago and I was laughed at. Beeahatches are handing over the money and beer now.
    Kinda of sad you started the thread and picked option 3. Guess that makes you really bored.......

    This movie is going to kick A$$. With AVP and RE2 a month apart
    Paul Anderson is going make lots of money. I will be first in line for both.......

    Anyway, how ever wins - we lose!!!!!!!! ;)

    Predators all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! They killed Jesse "The Gov'na" Ventura. What was the silly woman's name that cleaned up against the alien, Ripley or something. Crap, it's no contest.

    That alien puss should run away with it's tail between it's legs, being whipped by a girl. Sheeesh.

    HELL YES!!! This movie is going to rock beyond all belief!!! I've been waiting for years for this to come out. Has anyone been to Yahoo's movie section of this movie to check out the fight scene? I haven't laughed so hard in months! God I'm pumped for this....

    BTW - Predators > Aliens > Humans. 'Nuff Said!

    I can't believe there is not more of a buzz on this movie here. Bunch of frickin cinics. Aliens for three reasons:

    1. Numbers, attrition kicks ****.

    2. Predators don't have loaders.

    3. No one else seems to like them and they have acid blood.:D
    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.

    Its rated PG-13! You can't do AvP in a PG-13 setting!

    BAH, should be fun though, so long as you don't take it seriously!

    Where's the line item for...

    "It's going to be a tie" so AvP II, the sequel, can be made. You know it will happen if this is successful, which I sure it will be.

    This one is a must see, although I am bummed about the PG-13 rating, it should have been R, or better yet NC-17.

    The PG-13 rating isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means the movie itself has to be good. Good writing, good action sequences ect.... The PG-13 rating just means we won't get all bloody and guts falling out of someones a-hole.

    Think about this; watch Predator on public TV or cable. It is edited for content, but still ultimately watchable & enjoyable.

    I don't see the PG-13 rating as a negative at all.

    Really all PG-13 stands for now-a-days is no nudity, everything else seems game.
    Don't take seriously - people are still walking around dressed like friken Hobbits!!!!!!!!!
    Glad to see more AVP support, I hear they are making a Legally Blonde 3 if you guys really want to get excited......:rolleyes:

    True, strength in numbers is a good thing, but when you put that up against a smarter creature with killer weapons + nuclear bombs in their suites... I still gotta vote Predators.

    Aliens....who said they weren't smart? they are the evoulitionary perfected creature. Did you see the part in the preview with the 4 predators on top of the temple and only a couple thousand aliens crawling up the stairs after them? I don't think those predators made it out alive. Predators are big and nasty but aliens arent exactly **** cats. And the nuclear bomb is only used to commit suicide if they fail their manhood test, it isnt a weapon against attackers. I can't freakin wait for this movie, pg13 or not, i want to see it soooo bad. let's hope they don't go all m. night on us and make the aliens and predators some weird military guys in suits scaring civilans away from the temples lol. Maybe a deaf girl will save the day in this movie :D

    One small thing to point out, the Predators do NOT have a nuclear bomb. Think about it, when Arnold dropped the tree stump on the Predator, he activated the bomb with the equipment on his wrist. He then began laughing, which he was mimicking from one of the guys who got killed, maybe Billy. Arnold then jumped off the cliff and hid in a ditch or something. He then is rescued, and is shown flying away in the helecopter. If that had been a nuclear bomb, Arnold would have been killed. It was not a nuke, just a big **** bomb.

    The stupid part of that whole scene was that the "bomb" was effective enough to knock out electrical circuits in the chopper about 1-2 miles from the "mushroom cloud", but just not enough to knock Dutch unconscious from a distance of about 200 feet!

    so the invisible alien from outer space is easy to swallow but his neutron-like self destruct bomb is what bothers you?

    :D just kidding. always liked this movie, but as with most of this genre, you have to ignore your common sense and intelligence as soon as the opening title rolls.

    Read the thread, we already went thier. PG13 doesn't mean shaat now-a-days. Allows movies to rack in more dough. Basically the only restrictions are total nudity and I do not need to see the predator naked.... I do not need a Will Smith character saying the F word every 5 seconds in a movie like this.

    And this coming from a guy that is disapointed the the movie "Girl Next Door" is not **** rated.........


    Anywho - they had the making of it on FOX network and it looks awesome. Even more excited to see it this weekend!!!!
    This is gonna ROCK!!!

    Oops, I see. Anyway, I want to see the 'inner jaws' of an alien rip through a Predator, and PG-13 may not get me there.

    I think the entire concept of A vs. P is awesome. But remember, it all started about a year ago with Freddy vs. Jason, remember? (did anyone see that?)

    I'd like to see the Vs. style movies continue. Here are some ideas:

    Pulp Fiction vs. Resevoir Dogs
    Norm Abrams vs. Bob Vila

    Movies, I don't mean video games. Whether people have been asking or not, Freddy vs. Jason came out first.

    Good idea Greg, how about Predator vs Bob Vila? It could be an animated fun, DIY adventure with a bloody, dismembered ending.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
