Ha! Yeah, it's almost worth watching once, but twice? What this movie really needed was Bruce Campbell, or a half predator/half Bruce creature, rather than that frankly ridiculous Alien-ator.
Someone said earlier that they didn't think filmmakers went into a movie with $20million aiming to make a mediocre flick. I'd like to think that was true, but recently what I see in movies is $100+million spent on making something crammed with CGI, but totally empty of frippery like 'story' or 'acting'. It's happening too much to be a coincidence.
Filmmakers may want to make something great, but money strangles the creative process entirely. That fucking Planet of the Apes remake f'rinstance — I refuse to believe Tim Burton set out to make a sub-Lucas heap of shit like that. The fact of the matter is that if you try to put something out there that might make people think you're going to get shot down on the grounds that it won't make enough money.
I have a paranoid theory about the elite and the dumbing down of everything, but I'll save it.
Yeah, AVPR — Amusing Visual Poop Riddle?
