No Spoilers Predator (1987)

[GoodBadHBK]

Have you ever seen a biopic or a movie three times? It’s the same thing.

I'm more interested in the execution than the plot itself.

I’d reccomend giving it a watch, it’s kinda divisive as a film but I really loved it.

Of course I've seen movies multiple times but it's the first time experience that matters the most imo

Knowing what's going to happen or having it spoiled ruins the experience watching it.

Another thing I strongly hate is the over use of trailers and the internet spoiling all of the big secrets of a film before it's released.

I like to watch a blank canvas and let the art unfold

Yeah. It’s better but except big twists, I have watched films and enjoyed them even with spoilers.

I just watch one trailer and read synopsis.

Funny enough I was gonna tag you when I posted it. I know you're a big Foreigner fan too. Even funnier is I have been playing it all week long and today was the first time I noticed Fincher directed it

It's a well done video. Maybe one of my ten favorites of all time.

Clever how the door lock goes up to symbolize what the creepy old guy is about to do. I like the way the breath steams up the glasses at the most intense part of the song.

Foreigner rocks

Foreigner rocks

Oh yeah definitely. Like them way more than Journey even though Journey is awesome too.

Foreigner never really gets mentioned when talking about best bands of the 70s & 80s but I listen to them nearly everyday.

Survivor is up there for me as well.

I like Journey and Survivor but Foreigner definitely is in another class if you want to go best 10 or 20 songs up against another band. Foreigner is actually pretty hard to compete with in that regard, plus Lou Gramm had a solo career and a really good song on the Lost Boys soundtrack.

Foreigner is definitely better than both and is the most underrated band of all time to me. I'll have to check out the lost boys soundtrack, I usually only listen to I Still Believe and Cry Little Sister.

Crazy they arent in the hall of fame seriously. That one blew my mind

Lost in the Shadows, the song that plays when they are on the dirtbikes.

10/10 for me.

I can re watch the hell out of it.

Do people genuinely think it's a good movie or is it more of a "it's so bad that it's good" situation?

no it’s a good movie. let me try to find a video analysis of it

God. This hurts.

 

[Fake Doctor]

I'd give it a 10, but I have trouble doing so when I put it right next to Conan the Barbarian and I can't help but saying "Conan is better." So, 9.5.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

The most testosterone fueled sequence ever put on film

Happy birfday predator.


I think the movie works because it is simple and effective. it doesnt focus on underlying themes or messages but it also doesnt have many leaks in its ceiling. You get character relationship, rapport, motivation. The plot is clearly defined and understandable without being confusing or overly explained. It locks in a tone and vibe that makes you believe it and get pulled in. it's a fun movie that doesnt insult your intelligence. Also rewatchability x100.

It's one of those films that arnold has a few of that works perfect as a background house party movie but also one you can sit and focus on by yourself and be like yo was that actually great.
