Yep. They're most likely making a "Predator 3".

And it's gonna star The Rock.

Which means that this could very well be THE worst sequel ever made. I'm talking "Batman and Robin" bad.

Discuss.

Is nothing sacred?

~~Reznorite420~~ · 09-02-2003, 05:57 PM

Oh, pfft, don't let the Scorpion King epitomize his acting as a whole...

Oh, and from the news I've read, the rumored Alien Vs. Predator movie is supposed to be a combination Predator 3 and Alien 5, or whatever...

Anyways, I'll read.

EDIT: I wouldn't trust the word of a site whose webmaster can't even use HTML correctly (look at the title bar).

I guess not.

Movies these days are ass matter by default. Take this time now and think to yourself, "When was the last time I saw a movie and thought it was worth watching again?" chances are, it was in the mid or early 90's because movies didn't completely suck back then. "Grind"? Who the hell wants to see a movie about air headed skate boarders. Whoops, pardon me, sk8rs.

I wish Bruce Lee was still alive. He'd be in every movie, and the movie would be over in like, 4 minutes. Picture this.

It's a court room and this guy is pissing off Bruce, who happens to be the Judge.

Bruce: "What are the charges?"
Bailiff: "Disgracing your families honor, sir."

Then Bruce just goes ape **** and kills everyone. EVERYONE. I really gotta seek psychiatric help.

411 is usually pretty reliable news-wise. Not all of them are the most computer-literate, though. (Speak for myself, I don't even know what HTML IS)

Regardless, 411 is pretty much the place I go for most of my entertainment news. They're accurate almost all of the time, except when something happens to contradict an earlier report, and when that happens they let you know. A HTML mistake shouldn't be the barometer by which a site's news-worthiness is judged.

ANd I don't care what ANYONE says, Flex (The Rock/Dwayne Johnson/That blood-sucking Hollywood leech) is a HORRID actor, and furthermore, he's a plague on the entire entertainment industry. It wasn't enough that he was an awful wrestler who became (at the time) the youngest WWF Champion in history because his DAD worked for the company. No, it wasn't enough that he went and recorded a really stupid song with Wyclef Jean ("It Doesn't Matter"). No, he had to go and try to ACT. Well, I got news for Flex: I'd rather pay theatre prices to see "Suburban Commando" a dozen times over before I'd EVER pay a single penny to see any piece of garbage movie that had Flex in a starring role. Especially when that movie will be a desecration of a popular flick like "Predator".

By the way, Flex is the only celebrity I hate more than F*cking Kelso, so make of that what you will.

*XERO* · 09-02-2003, 06:39 PM

Hey Leo, what's with the "Flex?"

~~Leo656~~ · 09-02-2003, 07:00 PM

That's my little dig at The Crock.

Y'see, Dwayne Johnson first got into pro wrestling back in 1995 down in Memphis. Usually this stage of a wrestling career lasts for years as an up and comer earns skill and experience... in this case, it was a mere formality as Dwayne was already promised a WWF contract before ever even having a single professional match, solely on the basis of the fact that his father Rocky Johnson, a former Tag Team Champ and friend of WWF owner Vince McMahon, still worked for the WWF and called in a favor. So right off the bat, many people (including me) hated the idiot because he was handed something literally thousands of people dream of but never get.

Anyway, Dwayne Johnson wasn't "flashy" enough for a wrestler's name, I suppose, so some genius in Memphis gave him the name "Flex Kavana". Apparently, the rule in wrestling says that your wrestling name can be utterly ridiculous, as long as it's NOT be your real name.

Of course, when he jumped to the WWF less than a year later (think about that... even Hulk Hogan quit wrestling 3 or 4 times in his first two years because he wasn't making any money), Vince gave Dwayne the name Rocky Maivia, a combination of his father's name with that of his grandfather Peter Maivia. That name also sucked, which was why Dwayne was eventually just called "The Rock".

But to some, like me, Dwayne is and always will be Flex, a spoiled little brat who got everything in life handed to him despite his lack of talent and the fact he used to choke women.

So that's why I call The Rock "Flex".

Ahhh yes, yes, very good.....

*Eye of Sarnath* · 09-02-2003, 08:20 PM

If you ask me, the Predator movies started sucking when they decided to make a sequel without Schwarzenegger...

*XERO* · 09-02-2003, 08:30 PM

Well Danny Glover was okay, at least he actually fought the Predator.

Arnold just Home Alone'd him...

Shellfox · 09-02-2003, 08:36 PM

I liked Pred 2, esspecally the last 1/2 hour or so.

But I think Rock reached his acting highj point on his First Saturday Night Live. His best movie was Mummie 2, simply because he was only on for about 5 minutes. How the hell did he end up on the poster anyway

Any way, Rock does indeed suck, he with any luck after his latest movie dies with in 2 days they probly throw his butt out of the production

Psycrow · 09-02-2003, 09:13 PM

As long as the movie is like "Predator 3: Predator wins", then I guess we have nothing to fear.

This movie will not be as bad as "Replicant" though, a Jean Claude Van Damme movie what went straight ot video, for good reason.

*That Matt Guy* · 09-02-2003, 09:23 PM

I could have sworn that it was Bill Paxton who fought the Predator in part 2.

I just prefer it when sequels have characters from the previous movie, not all new characters.

Heh, j/k, I'll explain:

HTML = Hypertext Markup Language

It's the computer "language" that makes web pages. Much of the the BB code you use on here is the same as/similar to HTML, only BB code uses "[]" instead of "<>" in the tags. Just don't try to use the BB commands such as [quote]; nothing like that exists in HTML.

Just go to "View>Source" on a web page and you'll see what I mean...

*That Matt Guy* · 09-03-2003, 12:58 AM

HTML just seems weird and scary to Leo.

*Skeletoncrew* · 09-03-2003, 01:42 AM

I actually enjoyed Predator 2, I think the whole Predator concept is very cool. I wouldn't mind seeing a TMNT/Predator crossover.

Oh, and I think Predators are kind of sexy.

The TMNT would get their skulls torn out.

The Master · 09-03-2003, 01:40 PM

Arnold didn't. Danny didn't.

And neither of them had a shell or knew ninjitsu.

I think it could be pretty cool, although we've had about a million Predator/Alien/whoever else crossovers (not just including comics) it seems.
