GET TO THE CHOPPA! AGAIN!

PREDATOR is a great film.  Just view this CLASSIC clip below..







Awesome.  PREDATOR combined the mindless 'group of commandos save hostages in the jungle' plot that was very popular in the 80's with the 'strange alien visitor who kills' plot device and it worked, VERY well.  Mention PREDATOR once to any of your friends, and see how many quotes are exchanged.

Robert Rodriguez is the man.  He is the mind behind DESPERADO, EL MARIACHI, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (my favorite), SIN CITY (my favorite, tied with the former), and the SPY KIDS movies to name a few.  A lot of fans were upset with Rodriguez when he made SPY KIDS, but think about it, a kids movie from the guy who made a movie about vampire hookers, sleazy theives, and dick-guns?  Count me in.  Which is ironic because the character of MACHETE who originated in SPY KIDS will be getting his own HARD R rated movie soon...  ANYWAYS, if Robert Rodriguez can make all these movies, then dip into kid stuff and still make something people can enjoy, think about what he can do with PREDATOR.  It was announced this week that Robert Rodriguez will be producing and directing a relaunch/remake of PREDATOR.  Now, he's searching for writers right now, to polish a script he originally wrote a a long time ago as a writing assignment, which included DUTCH and his pals being caught by the Predator and taken to the Predator homeworld and hunted by a group of Predators.  COUNT ME IN.  Robert Rodriguez may finally create a worthy film follow up to SIN CITY, and re-introduce PREDATOR to a whole new generation, something that AVP and AVP2 failed.  This is going to be great, Robert Rodriguez you sonofabitch.
