Ok we all know this hack has been chosen to do aliens Vs. Predator, we all know he steals from other movies and doesnt give a f**k about originality( resident evil best example) and we all know all hes good for is lame popcorn action movies.
So here it is the first Anti AvP topic. There are so many cool ideas that could be used for an Aliens Vs Predator movie, but in the end Fox made the mistake of choosing to do an Aliens Vs. Predator movie helmed by this...STUPID f**kING RETARDED s**t EATING BRAINLESS COKC PILE!
Instead of letting james cameron( wrote and directed aliens) write a script for the final Aliens movie directed by Ridley Scott(original alien director) now do you all see something wrong here?
since when do 2 oscar winning directors who have had many a box office success get set aside for some f**king hack dickoad who doesnt know anything about character development, how to show emotion, or tell a story in a unique way?
you get something like this. Here is a little summary of his A v P movie. His idea is just....blarg. His characters will be nothing you havent seen before, and his setting...well this is the one 'nice' thing I'll say, isn't bad...As an idea. Expect major poop when this comes out, cause it ain't gonna be anything worth watching twice. I'll be watching Leagally blonde before I watch this.

ummm...no offense dude...but maybe you should take an anger management class or two!
It's only a bloody movie!

just kidding :P
No I dont need an anger management class, I just get this way when something I really like gets f**ked over, Like resident evil which is why I hate Paul W.S. Anderson so much.
Its not just that, the endless stupidity of hollywood gets to me sometimes. like right now. Theres my rant. As a film student I cant stand to see so much s**t. and not even fun B s**t either.
YAAAAAAAAAAAA finally some one who agrees with me.Anderson sucks dick,I hate him with a passion.I know he is just going to make Alien vs predator into some f**king gay excuse for a action/sci-fi movie.His movies are always pop culture crap.Well not all of them ill gtive him credit for Event Horizon.I know the idea is a lot like Solaris,but I still thought it was pretty f**king cool,but all his other stuff sucks.This guy likes to make movie about video games, but I don't think he has ever played any of the games hes made the movies about.
Mortal Kombat was gay, it was a movie that never should have been maid.Mortal Kombat has little plot and was just a lame excuse to make a action movie.
Resident Evil was disapointing as hell.He completly missed the point about the video games.It wasn't about a bunch of zombies being stuck in hallway all going arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggg.It was about trying to scare the s**t out of you,something the movie failed at.I was hopeing that the movie would be as grand in its story as the video game, but it was watered down and stupid.They put one Licker as the big bad guy,a few dogs and lots of zombies.Just dumb.
AvsP is going to be the same way as all the other movies he has made.Lame stupid pocorn flicks
I guess I'm one of the few people who liked Resident Evil. I've never played the games, so I had no knowledge of the story other than that it concerned Zombies.
However, after reading that description of the AvP movie, I'm not too optimistic. Having Aliens on Earth in the present is just wrong. If humans had encountered them in the present, they would know about them in the future. It should be set in the future, on another planet.
Is it too late to start a letter writing campaign to get this changed?
Hey didn't I see this post a few weeks ago? Or maybe the 3 or 4 threads that have popped up in the last month about how Paul W.S. Anderson is a talentless "cock pile" as Dunners so eloquently put it.
I'm not a huge Paul Anderson fan. Event Horizion was awesome, Mortal Kombat was pretty good and I even enjoyed Resident Evil. Yes, I played Resident Evil. I've spent a great deal of my life playing the games (especially code Veronica). You have to realize that things are never going to be as good as the original. What did you expect Resi Evil to be? A girl running around, able to turn in a complete circle without ever moving her legs? There is no way that a game will EVER be perfectly transferred to film. It just won't happen.
I'm glad Anderson is out there trying to make these films. It takes balls to try to helm a VG-Film transfer. I applaud the man! Keep up the good work Anderson! Rock on!
Also, as a little note, I would love to see any of you Anderson haters do a better job.
And that's my two cents!
I think all the anger here is misdirected.
I can't think of many contemporary directors who DON'T steal from other movies and who DO care about originality.
In fact, the motion picture industry's "comfort zone" is based upon stealing from other movies. If one movie makes a lot of money, why not copy it over and over again until people get sick of it?
It's all about the money.
I know he is just going to make Alien vs predator into some f**king gay excuse for a action/sci-fi movie
Umm...what do you expect it to be? A Romantic Comedy?
"Two Predators meet and fall in love when one of their pet aliens escapes and devours the other's mate. Acid blood is thicker than water"
I find it hilarious that I KNEW this was going to be a post by Dunners before looking to see who wrote it. For some reason, I can just imagine Dunners becoming enraged during a Rorscach test because he thinks all the black blobs resemble Anderson in some way.
Personally, I don't mind Anderson. Loved Mortal Kombat and Soldier. Thought Event Horizon was great, and that Resident Evil wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Sure, Resident Evil probably would've been better if Romero directed, but we can only dream. Then again, crappy action flicks are my forte, so take my .02 for what it's worth (not much).
And isn't Anderson with Milla Jovovich? I have to give him the thumbs up for that..
Nick
Event Horizon wasn't anything I hadn't seen before elsewhere. I think it's the least of his movies besides Resident Evil.
I loved Soldier and Mortal Kombat was the best fighting video game movie (talk about damning with faint praise).
Anderson definitely shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an Aliens or Predator flick, though.

. . . tell us how you really feel!
LOL
Rob
I doubt Scott and Cameron wanted to be involved...I don't think it's a case of them being cast aside for Anderson.
Resident Evil was just mediocre...not really bad. It's just hard to take most horror movies seriously these days. I don't know what it is, at least as far as American movies go, they just don't seem to go for the throat anymore. About the only creepy part was that Red Queen hologram. Had Romero directed, you would have had 70 minutes of the soldiers arguing and maybe 10 minutes of zombies.
I keep thinking you guys are talking about Paul THOMAS Anderson....now that would be something worth seeing.
I was waiting for you to say that rob, lol.
Well i've cooled off some now.
Ok on the hollyweird directors stealing from other movies, yeah I well aware of it. but you know I at least like it when they try out some original idea while using someone elses.
Blatantly ripping off alice and wonderland. the matrix, space odessy 2001, the long kiss good night, dawn of the dead, and cube is utter crap.
completely re-writing a video game storyline for your own convinience is utter crap. Especially when the videogame storyline is better than what you wrote.
Being a talentless cockpile who got met the right people and schmoozed them into letting him have his way and getting a hold of what could be A-list material is utter crap.
Me on the other hand being a young film student full of great ideas is good, but the fact that I cant seem to channel my creative energy as well as I'd like blows.
To Dolph:
Oh ya knew did ya?a pox on thee! may you be forced to watch battlfeild earth twice in the same day!
and yes he with milla yoyob***h, but it wont last. They'll get married an in 2-3 years she dump him like she did her first 2 husbands.
to JohnL:
Nope sorry. we all wish though
to Skaboi:
Nope, romero's ideas were ok, but still no better than Andersons. Least Romero is creative though. It IS possible to write a script on a video game and do a perfect job on it. I'm working on it right now :) Time consuming a little frustrating, but when it comes down to it, its worth it. It's a really great feeling working on something you love. I'ma die hard RE fan myself and I know what RE is about and what it can do.
It should be a s**tfest action movie, it should be a dark atmospheric mystery, revealing the truth about an evil corporation and uncovering a conspiracy. the movie gave all that away within the first 2 minutes, nice job Anderson, dickload.
And as for Anderson haters being challenged to be better than him, I already am, It takes time to get a project finished, but its worth it.

lol Paul thomas Anderson is a GOOD director, W.S Anderson is a dumb f**k.
Whoa, yer Anti romero? tsk tsk, he did start the zombie genre, and made the best damn zombie movie ever, dawn of the dead. Got's to start showing respect you do
(http://www.freeadpower.org/~mrsmiles/games/ff/fftactics/characters/stand.gif)
Oh I think the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is one of the scariest movies ever made. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is much better than DAWN. The acting is better, and the movie is paced much better. DAWN's acting isn't as good, the effects kind of suffer [why are the zombies all blue? Why don't most of them have some kind of wound--did they all die of natural causes?] and there is a long bit in the movie when nothing much happens of importance. I think his "social commentary" is way overrated and heavyhanded. That being said, I think DAWN is great fun.
My main problem with Romero comes from DAY OF THE DEAD [I think it should have never been made, basically] and most of his subsequent films. I don't think RESIDENT EVIL would have been that hot even had he been able to direct it. In fact, I think DAWN was probably Romero's last really good film.
I'm not anti-Romero, but he hasn't made a good movie in a long while, and I don't think he has it in him.
Geez there sure is a LOT of swearing here, i'm surprized Andrew hasen't posted a warning. By the way A vs. P should take place in space in the future, I have a feeling that we should just stick to the Alien vs. Predator comic books.
-the first rule of fat club-
Sorry dave, this Anderson guy really upsets me greatly, his nature of endles sstupidity and talentless theivery offends me greatly, In a fortnite my temper shall be as cool as a super model exiting a swimming pool.
Until then my mouth shall be dirtier than a $2 french prostitute lying ina gutter running a discount special on her day off.
I dispise Anderson but is the plot set in stone yet,probably not.He may try and do it in the future,but you know he is going to have a blatant diragard for the original movies.He will just take the monsters from the original movies and through them into a movie that has nothing to do plotwise with the original movies,there will be little or no build up on the original movies.
The problem with Anderson is that he thinks he can take a cultural icon like mortal kombat and resident evil,and make those movies with out considering the storylines in the games,or comic books in this case.
The reason so many people are pist off at this guy is because he took some of the biggest and best video games ever and completly ruined them.
I'll admit Mortal Kombat dosn't have the greatest of story lines,and there wasn't much to do with it,but it was the action that made the movie suck.In the game they bust out crazy moves and powers on the enemys.In the movie though the only guys who had special powers were the bad guys,and they only used like one or two moves from those guys.
The most disapointing was Resident Evil.The game was haunting and atmosphric.It was able to creep you out and give a good scare at times.It had wicked enemys,like the lickers,giant spiders,frog men,mutant plants.Now the movie on the other hand was not a horror movie it was a action movie.It lacked atmosphere,most of the time they were running around in hallways or in air shafts.The zombies just wern't scary.They just shuffled cramed them selves in the hallways and moaned and groaned alot.Nothing scary about that.The only put one licker in the movie and used it as a boss.That right there was wrong.They should have come up with a original creepy monster.The movie cramed it self into a underground base in small corridors and lots of zombies.It should have taken above ground in a much grander setting,like the video games.
So will AvsP suck.Probably, unless Anderson sudenly gets a bolt of genuis or sells his soul to the devil for writing talent.Sorry if this post is long but I have a lot to get out.
agreed very much.
I like resident evil... it was very close to the video game... and there are not that many movies that are very close to the video game... even tomb raider was miles away from the video game...
Also, resident evil was one of the best zombie movies was made in a long time...
As for A v P... as long as Ellen Ripley isnt in it... the movie should be good!!!

Hey Dunners,
I have an idea for a trillogy of humerous zombie movies, but my ideas need a lot of fleshing out. If you want send me an email and I'll discuss them with you.
My efforts at cresting a script have convinced me that my calling in life does not reside in this area.
Rob
One of the best zombies movies in a long time? Very close to the video game? I strongly disagree.
A poor recyled zombie movie trying to be dawn of the dead with a pop culture aspect doesnt count. The last really good zombie film I heard of was 'Junk' from japan.
close to the game? hmm, I seem to remember the game being fun and having a good story to it, as well as interesting( alhtough 1-D characters).
Having stupid hordes of zombies that suddenly snarl like dogs , zombie dogs that are the easiest thing in the world to kill obviously and a poory done CGI Licker isnt resident evil, not at all.
I know what I want from a resident evil movie, and thast the resident evil stars members in the spencer mansion, gory battles with zombies, stong characters who have depth to them and the monsters, gotta have the hunters, chimera, plant 42, the crows and the tyrant.
Its possible to pull all of this off but no one wants to because they dont want to invest the time, tsk tsk. If this came out the right way then it would be resident evil all over again.
And since I love RE to death to me, that is just perfection.
What I didn't understand is that if the team knew the Red Queen was watching them....why didn't they just shoot and destroy every single surveillance camera they came across?
If she can't see them...well we all know what probably would've happened!
I thought this film was pretty good!
I liked the music and the laser corridor scene was cool as hell!
I do agree that the Licker was poorly animated.
And why do you think they gave the Red Queen a British accent?
Post Edited (06-25-03 20:40)
I'm assuming since they made the movie the way they did that they were just stupid.
resident evil was an awful movie!! im in love with the games too!! to say it was anything like the game or good is the OPPOSITE of the truth! the zombies werent even very cool! i wasnt even scared! the best part of the movie was when the people got sliced to death by those laser things.. but they didnt even show enough of that to give me a full boner! i cant believe they were only in the mansion for the first 2 minutes of the movie. whoever decided that was a good idea is an idiot! all the best parts in the game took place in the mansion! the lab didnt come until the end! i wanted to cry after i saw that movie!! it had so much potential to be really good and it was ruined! where were the herbs?! and the shotguns?! and the secret passageways?! and the zombies hiding in dirty bathwater?! the crows pecking peoples eyes out?! and spitting spiders?@ i dont even think one zombies head was shot off! there was no GRENADE LAUNCHERS!! orFLAMETHROWERS!!!! or leaping hunters or dead people laying around!!! they should REMAKE that movie!!!! but do it RIGHT this time!
love colleen
S'how I felt...cept I wanted to strangle Anderson. hes the one to blame colleen. Every rip off, every fight scene, everyline was his .
Which is why I hate him so much, fortunately it inspired me to become a film maker in hopes that one day I can get the chance to do this properly. That and I feel the need to prove to every schmuk who says it cant be done, you can make a video game movie just as good if not better than the game.
Making movies isnt hard, making good movies isnt hard, making great movies is where it becomes time consuming, but not hard. its only hard if you see it as a chore.
