The Predator is Everything Wrong with Movies Today

I dodged it at the cinema, but there was no avoiding The Predator forever. Join me as I break down the movie that pretty much sums up everything wrong with the modern film industry.

My brother has it and I'll say depending on how much it effects you its pretty much just a label because he's just like any other person but has moments where he sees things differently or becomes really good at something he likes at an almost genius(i aint know hot spell it) level.

[@Dowlphin]

Autism can have different ways and degrees of expression, so I think the Drinker's point was more that in the movie it was over the top and mixed with traits that would totally not vibe with autism. Maybe there still is merit to using the term "Asperger" to contrast to other forms of autism because that could help not lump everything together. Plus, with our crazed society these days, there might even be overdiagnosing and glorifying and all kinds of messiness, so it is prudent to not jump to conclusions and to avoid easy labels. There is a very good TV show - Sherlock - that shows what potent upsides autism can have, so the 'autism superpowers' thing is not just a joke, of course, but a rare and extreme expression that likely also takes devoted practice to develop to such a level.

[@Dowlphin]

@@Xavier28200 There is a memorable scene from Beautiful Mind where Nash tries a bluntly direct pickup line on a woman and gets slapped, but he isn't disheartened but grins. That is so important to me because it sheds light on the difference between not understanding social norms and understanding them all too well but not liking them. Nash was basically toying with what he understood very well. This can lead to nasty gaslighting by a societal norm of basically teenage angst management, i.e. if you don't follow awkward rituals for trying to manage social anxiety and trust issues and such, you could be more or less misdiagnosed.

[@jamstonjulian6947]

@BLAIR M Schirmer But what you've just described is not being political, it's being genuinely progressive. Like, in the good sense, not the toxic meaning that word now carries. If you put a black person as your lead actor for no other reason than you want to, or he/she is the most suitable actor for the part, then that is not being political. Other people may come along and see it through a political lense, but as we see nowadays you can choose to view anything through a political lense if you want to. Anyway, the word here really isn't political but ideological. Films are being made with an ideology that seeps through not just the writing but the casting, the marketing etc. Where we're supposed to clap when we see a woman or a minority involved in a movie regardless of talent or suitability, and regardless of whether things have actually progressed any. Sorry I'm basically agreeing with you I just think the word political is a bit misleading or ambiguous.

It stayed true to the original whole building on the lore and background. In addition, it wasn't overly repetitive in that the setting of a city hunting ground made for numerous new situational scenes. The CIA angle was clever and we'll cast -- I like Gary Bussy. The final showdown was different while at the same time still pushed the protagonist to his limit. For reasons I don't recall, I eventually wound up looking it up on Rotten Tomatoes and I recall being stunned by its reception. Even today it sits at an abysmal 31%. Who knew?

@@amuroray9115 halloween was successful because it took a realistic stance on real life horror, a creepy evil person coming to kill you at all cost, people were scared of the idea of the movie because it happens in real since there is real serial killers and murderers who are truly evil and wanna kill just to kill so halloween was written well since it did take a realistic approach, friday the 13 was a product of the slasher theme that halloween started and it does have some realism in the first one besides the ending because it sheds light on how broken a person can get by a loss of a close loved one, the only reason people love the series now is because they like the idea of an unstoppable force jason is

[@amuroray9115]

@@bobhatessinners8327 neither are realistic in the slightest. Halloween was successful because people were infatuated with the idea of a human-like monster who can’t be stopped (beginning of the Slasher era).. Same with Friday. Not because they were realistic. They’ve Been films since the 40 and 50’s that are more realistic than them. Hitchcock’s Psycho is more realistic. Besides that, the characters are astronomical stupid and endanger themselves with very poor decisions. Jason and Michael can’t be killed because of voodoo magic. And the overall plot is ridiculous even by today’s standards. Hence, both films are badly written and not realistic at all.

[@bobhatessinners8327]

micheal halloween did take elements from reality like serial killers did like stalking their victims around, and it was just the start of the story at the time it got popular i’ll admit that him being shot and getting stabbed in the neck is unrealistic but we didn’t know he was controlled by magic until later sequels, and the rest of the movie doesn’t have anything else far fetched about it, what helped is watching his perspective view while he watches people in their homes through windows before he kills them, what made halloween feel more real besides micheal being a mere human before the sequels is the possibility of things like this can happen, any creep with a mask can have evil intentions and look in your window and enter your home to kill you, what im saying is halloween besides those two scenes of micheal some how not dying is realistic and it became popular because of the realism now let’s go to the first friday the 13th, only thing of the first movie to be fictional is jason coming back to life but it’s obviously a thing put in the film to make more sequels to make more money, but anyways, first the murder scenes aren’t unrealistic it’s all just stabbing, second i feel there’s a hidden mental health message in the film, Pamela voorhees went on a killing spree to whom ever came to the camp because in her mind it’s avenging jasons death, and i feel that she suffered quite hard trama after jasons death which i believe she became so broken after her son died a unjust death and took matters into her own hands to kill anyone who comes to the camp, what helps my opinion out is the fact is in several parts of the movie she kept saying “kill her mommy kill her”, this proves there’s nothing super natural about this but Pamela is a mentally broken person who believes jason tells her to murder others, and besides the ending nothing really seems unrealistic all it really is a crazy woman that lost her mind after loosing her son and killed to avenge her son, that’s why these two first films are successful since they both can happen people become broken and can loose their minds when losing someone important in their lives and serial killers are obviously real and are a real threat even if you’re in your house while they watch you and try to enter and kill you

[@0Midas0647]

I like how a major criticism of this movie is how weirdly invulnerable the giant predator is, when the first predator movie was the one that the phrase "if it bleeds we can kill it" comes from.

[@Dizzy247365plus]

I loved Predator 2. It gave total respect to the original, while being unique and original. Danny Glover was a completely different protagonist with a completely different approach to the antagonist. Usually in a sequel, when you can't get the original lead actor, they cast a KNOCK OFF actor with similar features to the original actor. Predator 2 broke every trope of the so-called blockbuster sequel and made a film that stands on it's own while still retaining deep links of continuity to the original film. It even has it's own memorable scenes and lines worthy of the original film. I highly recommend people give it a watch

Same thing with predator. The early cut of the movie had a different monster. But it looked like shit so they cut the movie in half

[@OpenMawProductions]

@@fast1nakus Well... No. What happened is they filmed all of the stuff without the Predator. The camp attack, all the jungle trekking, finding the chopper... Etc. Then, the first version of the Predator, the bug looking version, showed up from the US, and when they looked at it they said "Oh no... This isn't going to work." They filmed exactly two shots, and then they sent it back. That's when they shut down production and had SWS do a whole new creature design in very rapid fashion. The mandible design came from James Cameron, and the overall concept for the redesign came from a painting of a Rastafarian warrior, wielding a staff and war paint.

Then the pot for crews get so big in Hwood that even the ones we had known fastidious and critical could not refuse, leaving hardly any or no time for indie projects while those projects could not even afford them any more.

I have to correct you on one thing. A common thing that keeps getting perpetuated is that Shane Black worked on the script of the first movie. Watch the DVD extras and commentary for Predator 1. He says, “I did nothing on the script.” He was brought in to do a draft and his version of the story was rejected, so as consolation they just let him be in the movie. Now with that knowledge, The Predator seems even worse. They gave the reigns to the guy whose ideas were rejected the first time around.

@@nerderonofficial It's a generational thing. I'm old enough that I grew up in the pre-internet era. We watched TV and movies for some our sci-fi and fantasy fix, but we mainly got it from stuff like books, short stories, comics, role-playing games, etc... Written sources where the stuff the Drinker talks about - good character development, realistic scenarios that keep with the internal rules of the universe, logical plot events and motives that drive the story forward - were a lot more important. The movies and shows from that time period were made by people with a good background in those sources who understood how to write a decent story. This new crop of filmmakers seems to have been raised entirely on visual media; if they enjoy older stuff they probably like it because of the action and special effects, and they learned nothing about how to write a good story from it. The media they produce is stylish, flashy, and dull as hell because they never learned how to get past the visual stuff.

I just watched the Original Predator Movie, and It was just as good as I remember it. Even when the Predator took off it's Mask at the end and just started a Fist Fight with Arnie, I understood that. It's a Hunter, it wants to Hunt Dangerous Prey, and the only thing more Important than the Trophies are the Stories of how you got them. So it decided to have some Sport with him, and Ultimately died because of it's hubris. It wasn't fucking trying to get Autism DNA to Fuel their Evolution, it was just an Alien Hunter that sought the Ultimate Hunt.

[@hiranom20]

Not only hubris, a point I agree with, but it was also genuinely pissed that Dutch went down to the wire. It had been out thought for hours, and wounded too. It probably also realised that this prey was more formidable than the others, so maybe going hand-to-hand was a sign of respect, as much as it was fury.

[@SithCelia]

Let's also not forget that the late and exceptional character actor, Kevin Peter Hall, did an amazing job as the Predator. He had the right stature and physical attitude to pull off the bad-ass alien. The way he crouched, the way he walked, even how he threw out his arms before duking it out with Arnie, it was all about being the utmost hunter around who knew it.

[@gabriellen.2886]

@@SithCelia Yep. We can all recognize some d*ck-swinging. When the Pred did his arms-out crouch, all I could hear in my head was, "Put 'em up, put em UP! Let's dance, b*tch!" 😆 I loved the Predators forever after.

Plus if you know how that trap works there are vines under the spike row attached to the log so it actually pulls the target UP into the spikes.
