AvP = PG-13

[Azhrei]

My unbridled rage at this is beyond fathoming.  How could they take two of the most amazing movie franchises ever and release them in a watered down, pussy, POS, namby pamby, bitch version with a fucking PG-13 rating?

On the bright side, it will be nice to finally see an Alien movie without the pesky chest-bursters, face smashing second mouth, acid blood, or human blood either. Oh wait, those are the things that helped make Aliens incredible. At least the Predators won't be able to kill anyone... oh, wait. There we go again with the SUCKING.

I wonder if it will all take place in a big, brightly lit area so it won't be scary either. Maybe someone from Dragonball Z can show up and save the day, after loudly declaring their intent and the manner in which they will save the day.

Fuckers.

This movie's ONLY hope of redemption will be if Alien to Predator violence doesn't count to the MPAA as "real" violence and the humans are just there to fill in dialogue gaps and show a hot chick in the shower.

This is a job for!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that sucks.

I just typed up a whole piece on why and then I just hit backspace. It just plain sucks. Well, maybe the commercial was Japanese or something. The original films while being rated R in the US, were PG-13 in Japan (and 12 in Holland

On a brighter note: this is obviously some sort of prequel. I got all psyched when I saw Lance Hendriksen (the android ''Bishop') is in it. His character is this movie is called Charles Bishop Weyland.

Bishop.

Weyland (- Yutani...).

Kickass.

I miss the 80s. Sure, we were poised for economic decline and had a huge national debt, but man, fucking VIOLENCE ruled the entertainment industry.

Go look at Megatron. That toy looked EXACTLY like a Walther PPK, and kids got SHOT over it. Kaybee toys used to have a whole aisle of just toy guys, and they were all super-realistic. Now, all they have are goddam dolls (action figures my ass) that aren't even cool like G.I Joe and He-Man were. Sure, they have He-Man still, but instead of being a renamed toy line based on Conan, they've made him so weak that instead of having cool names that said what they did, like Beastman and Fisto (he punched really hard, sickos!) , they have crap that's more like "Hugging Man" and "Diversity Girl."

And speaking of He-Man, did anyone ever notice just how many exploding anal beads there were on that show? I mean, damn. That's a lot of exploding anal beads.

You know, I had succesfully repressed those memories for like 15 years.

The pussification of America has been going on for a long time. I'm only 20, but when I was in 6th grade (1996), we were told we could no longer play Tag at recess because it was "too dangerous". I called bullshit even then - although not in those words.

Rough play builds character, dammit. Remember when you got hurt playing a sport and everybody was impressed at how awesome your wound was bleeding rather than concerned about your welfare?

Remember when people were accountable for actions they did and couldn't blame movies?

Sigh... /end rant

tag is so cool

Azhrei has now been nominated for the Royal Dutch Best Post Evar Award (tm).

When I was in high school, I had the best gym teacher ever. He pretty much arranged things so we had NONE of those pussies who were like "Oh I can't do gym because I'm too fat/lazy/uncoordinated" and replaced them with every single psychopathic jock in the school.

Playing lacrosse, I tripped a kid, stepped on his wrist, kicked the ball out of his stick, and then stepped on his back for good measure, and the gym teacher just said "Good hustle, good hustle!" Floor hockey was even better.

I once killed a bunnie with a broom. It was so rad.

... How did you manage that?

And yes, if AvP isn't the coolest movie of the year, I will go on a killing spree. The NE part of North America better watch out...

[Nameless]

I'm sorry, did somebody say killing spree?  I've already handled that one...  Try a homicidal rage though, I don't think that's been done enough lately.  See it's all about how you label it, so that it fits in better with other headlines in the news and...

...

Fucking, PG-13?

Are you fucking kidding me?

*BLARG!* KILL!!! *BLARG!* *CRASH!* *BLAM!*

I remember cross checking a kid while playing golie in floor hockey because there were like half a dozen people swarming the goal.  The kid slid a good 7 feet across the floor.  I may not have been the most coorniated for sports, but I got picked first for goalie after that.

After playing against CTthespian @ SCG (and getting beaten by his draw7) I would have to say he would be one of the people on TMD I would least fuck with.
