ALIEN VS. PREDATOR
Entered on: March 10, 2004 9:18 AM by Jackzilla
The movie opens in August. Trailer now on-line...

I wonder how this will turn out. I know nothing about the director or anything. The first two Alien movies remain a couple of the best sci-fi movies ever in my book. Hopefully it's at least on the level of T3 (which I thought was pretty fun, if not as good as the first two) and not totally crappy. It's about time this movie got made... they've had the AVP comic books since the '80's! Even the Atari Jaguar had a sweet ass AVP videogame!

And let's not forget the Batman short in which he fights them both! :)  
 
I agree, this could be sweet. I'm at work so I can't check out the trailer, but I will when I get home.

I'm still most excited right now to see Hellboy. After seeing the most recent commercials for it, I find myself wanting to re-read the comics I have, as the movie looks (to me) like it's going to be awesome.

I agree, Hellboy looks like a hoot!

A week ago or so I had a young boy come into the store with his mom. Upon seeing my Hellboy display, he asks me: "What's up with Heckboy?" I thought that was pretty funny (more so by the fact that he wasn't trying to be funny). I guess it was that or refer to it as "H-E-double-hockey-sticks Boy."

I never even thought of that. Little kids could very well be flummoxed about how to refer to the movie by name. I would think that most parents would understand, though. Kind of like when I was little, singing "Bad Bad Leory Brown" sanctioned my use of the word "damn".

Dude! "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" was my JAM when I was 5! (I'm not being facetious, I loved that song when I was little!)

Are you sure it isn't really spelled Hell-Boy?

The other day I purchased a DVD at best buy and was given a free Hellboy making of DVD. Not bad for free, it was about ten minutes of behind the scenes and it really got me excited about this flick. It also had the Spidey 2 trailer which is sweet as well. At any rate, Hellboy looks pretty cool!

Speaking of movies, a friend just gave me a copy of Return of the King on DVD. It's 2 DVDs and they are of retail quality. They don't have any of the extras but they have a perfect picture. I declined at first, but then when I realized that I would have to wait till November for the extended versions on DVD, I figured I would need this one to tide me over. What a great fucking movie.

Speaking of ROTK, here is a site to find your hidden Hobbit or Elf name.

Mine are: Bungo Grubb of Little Delving  
 
and Galdor Ar-Feiniel (Elven)

Fard Brandybuck of Buckland, here.  
 
Interesting that my KOTOR player was almost my namesake: Drick Fardig.

Whilst in the Shire, I go by: Sancho Tighfield of Tookbank  
 
When picking up Elvish hotties I use: Eärendur Lúinwë  

 
From: Jackzilla Entered on: March 12, 2004 9:55 AM
Sancho Bracegirdle of Nobottle. It seems that the Bone and I have the same first name. WTF? I like the "Nobottle" part, considering that I do, in fact, seldom drink.

Finwë Sindanárië would be my Elvish name. You can tell because of the ornate dots and shit above some of the letters. Pompous little shits.

Jack, we must be Mexican Hobbits.
 
From: Ross Entered on: March 12, 2004 1:01 PM
Sounds right to me. You could probably argue that Hobbits evolved from a Mexican lineage: second breakfast was probably just some form of siesta originally.

Hey, I'm like Hobbit royalty! I'm Olo Sackville-Baggins!  
 
But just your average elf: Findecáno Ringëril.

Here is a sweet list of underrated movies. Many of them are sci-fi/horror, but so far I'm impressed with this list. Bone, it's from the same site that had all that Matrix discussion.

There are quite a few on the list that I'm a big fan of. Some are questionable. Some are pure shite!
 
From: Ross Entered on: April 3, 2004 9:47 AM
Brotherhood of the Wolf is the ultimate underrated movie, IMO. I'm going to add some of the ones on this list that I haven't seen to my must-see list though.  
 
I'm seeing Hellboy tonight. I assume at least Swerboskivitch has seen it by now, but I would think Roche had too. My review will be forthcoming.
