Things i learned from movies this evening...

Feb 05, 2008 01:28

To be polite, i will advise of POSSIBLE SPOILERS for:

1. AVPR - Alien Vs Predator: Requiem - Better than average popcorn accompaniment.
2. The Last Winter - Stylish character driven thriller set in remote Alaska. Quite awesome.
3. Beta House - Factory sweepings of all the worst college movies ever made spliced together at random.

- It's pretty awesome that you got to use a Predator gun, but you should have had the foresight to destroy it before the puny Earth ground troops found you. In fact, it should be the first thing you do after you crawl from the helicopter wreckage. I was even yelling it at you long before that. "Don't you take that with you, Slightly-Edgier-Than-The-Generic Male Lead! World don't need no more o' dem gun contraptions!"

- ALWAYS check for uber ninja stars.

- I've watched too much quality TV drama. If you've been on Law and Order, 24, etc then your face will be annoyingly familiar to me to the point where i have to imdb it. Disappointment ensues. Btw I swear i saw an Arquette in the previous scene.... meh.

- If a bully throws your keys down the sewer, just get some new ones cut. Sewers are yuk.

- All hobos should have dogs.

- Pregnant characters make gore more engaging.

2.

- If you come across a frozen corpse in the snow and then you loose a boot in a incident shortly after, it's probably a good idea to go back and get the dead guy's boots. You may waste 10mins of daylight, but you won't have to make a boot out of your jacket later on.

- Flares make Alaskan ghosts angry. Well the lighty-up kind, at least. Unconfirmed data on the pants.

- Offering someone a plate of food when they are quite clearly tripping balls could be taken as an insult and results in the joining of rations with wall. Wasteful, i call it. You can't just duck out and get more potatoes to roast. It's cold out.

- If your feet are on fire, running around in the snow can help, but it's a slow process. Plus fire burns up, stoopid.

- I like crows.

---------
3.

- I didn't learn anything from this festival of 'Why i hate America'. This fact alone will allow me to live with myself after choosing to watch it.

- Juxtapostition is powerful. Watching ants attack a dropped gnocchi was entertaining. 5 stars.
