It 189 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.800 wasn't Alien, was anything like that. It was starting off 190 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.639 the Breder my dad that actually got me on board 191 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.079 with it, and I could tell it was definitely a 192 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.319 fathersomee where the father was like super excited to share 193 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.079 this kind of like the same with my day. 194 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.160 I completely agree with that. Yeah, my dad, I fucking 195 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:55.000 love this movie. 196 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439 From the twinkle in their eye little ten year old 197 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.480 you know, like the beame of like little Kiani stage, 198 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:01.360 That's how I felt. 199 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:04.000 Exactly. 200 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:10.319 So getting into Predator, it's just it's it's so it's 201 00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:13.040 so special, has that sentimentality to it, but it's it's 202 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:14.920 such a unique film and it doesn't need to be 203 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:16.920 anything more than what it is. It's just they use 204 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.319 the scenes and what they have very very well, and 205 00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.879 it just has a very good trajectory to it. And 206 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.680 I can't imagine anyone else has an Honld Schwarzenegger and 207 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.720 that lead role squaring off against the Predator. But yeah, 208 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.000 I would have been. I probably would have been like 209 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.919 Tennis or so. And how it worked for me was okay, 210 00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.720 Like I got through Predator and then I did Predator 211 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.399 too and worked my way up, and I was just 212 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.440 I knew what aliens were. I knew aliens were involved 213 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.000 with Predator, but I knew I wasn't ready for aliens 214 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.000 because of the gest dating thing and I being young 215 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:46.759 and knowing that's the thing. 216 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.679 It's just really gross. 217 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:49.759 And finally like I'm manned up and I did the 218 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.039 whole alien train, but Predator was where. 219 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:52.639 Babies come from. 220 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:58.440 Yeah, Predator was my first like yeah, initiation into this 221 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.240 this realm. And I think, as far as like aliens go, 222 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.399 one of the first kind of like alien things. It 223 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.759 was up there with Starship Troopers for like early on 224 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:13.639 like understanding the whole alien thing. But uh, sorry that 225 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:14.759 someone else is gonna jump on there. 226 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:17.360 I didn't feel like you're finishing your thoughts. You're just 227 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.399 talking about Starship Troopers randomly and then you saw talking. 228 00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:26.559 Yeah, everything that's stemmed from Predator, though, I've just I've 229 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.240 eaten up and fallen in love with. Like, it's just 230 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.919 it's such a unique thing, and you're right, it's it's 231 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.279 basically been a core for many movies to not necessarily 232 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.440 parody off of, but just rip off of in terms 233 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.519 of certain cinematic moments. And I think just when you 234 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.840 get that opening sequence of just the ship flying above 235 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.519 Earth and this little thing flying towards the planet and 236 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.679 you you don't really know what you're in store for, 237 00:09:49.720 --> 00:09:53.120 and I think that's a great use of cinematography too, 238 00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.399 and storytelling. How just this whole time you really don't 239 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.519 know what you're up against. And yes, it is invisible, 240 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:00.679 and you could be like, oh, maybe that's like a 241 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:02.600 cop out, but not at all. It's just the way 242 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:07.799 that they play it out, just this mysterious hunter. And yeah, 243 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.200 it's just it proved to be such a simple thing 244 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.039 that is just such an iconic historical thing at the 245 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.639 same time that's spun so many sequels and everything like that. 246 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.600 And I mean, I've got Predator action figures in my 247 00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.240 my office here, Like I'm advid gamer of the Predator 248 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:26.960 franchise and titles and stuff like that. 249 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.879 So yeah, we've talked about Predator before. 250 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.840 And the we absolutely have. 251 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.480 Yeah. So for me, I think the very first time 252 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.559 I honestly saw it was probably like on the Sci 253 00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:40.159 Fi Channel. Definitely, I feel like edited because it's one 254 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.320 of those you're watching like, oh, this isn't how it's 255 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.159 supposed to be. And I don't know when exactly I 256 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:48.080 had watched it for the first but I just like 257 00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.679 I was in that zone of I've always said, like 258 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.720 from like two thousand and five, two thousand and six 259 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:53.960 and when I was like, Okay, I gotta start watching 260 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.799 all these movies now, and just like I think I 261 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.919 just like watched a bunch of them together and same 262 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.639 thing with Aliens, just kind of did them all. And 263 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:03.159 the last time I saw this movies was quite a 264 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.759 few years ago. It was actually I don't know why, 265 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.120 because like, yes, boys, like I love this movie. It's great. 266 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.480 Maybe's just because it's you kind of not know it 267 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.840 off beat by beat, but it's a pretty simplistic movie. 268 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:14.279 And I don't know if you could watch it again 269 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.200 and again because not too much happens, but like what 270 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:19.080 happens is great, So I think it's almost nice to 271 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:21.039 have that little break and almost you forget about the 272 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:23.679 little specificness of it. And then when you watch, like, oh, 273 00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:25.480 write this scene and this scene, this is how Billy 274 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.039 goes and stuff like that, like all these moments, and 275 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:29.600 I think the last time I watched it was funny. 276 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.799 I was at Emily's when she used to live with 277 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.279 her best friend, the roommate, and I remember Emily went 278 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:35.600 to work. I used to have Mondays off and she 279 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.200 worked Mondays and she's like, yeah, you can have the 280 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.960 house alone and everything like that, just hang out and 281 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.799 stuff until I get back. I'm like, okay, And the 282 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.360 roommate wasn't there. This is not to do with the story, 283 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.159 was tune obi wan, But I hear I am just 284 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.480 watching Predator and not butt ass naked, but I'm just 285 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.399 on the couch. She got my shirt off and she 286 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.919 comes in and just like Predator, huh yeah, and then 287 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.399 she went in to her man. It was just awkward 288 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.200 because like I knew her well enough, but it was 289 00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:59.399 still like I'm just sitting in her living room shirt off, 290 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:01.519 watching Predda at her and like, I'm sure it's a 291 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:06.000 card yeah, yeah, I'm sure at some point. 292 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.399 Where they're the characters are glistling and the sun just 293 00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.759 bo He's ripped. 294 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.039 And she probably closed her door and is like man 295 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.000 and hopefully it doesn't last long with that guy, and 296 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:15.200 lo and behold here I am. But yeah, so shouts 297 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.639 out to Curtly. But yeah, three kids later. But yeah, 298 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.480 that was the last time I remember. But yeah, this 299 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:23.080 is just it's such a great simplistic movie. It is 300 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.440 these men get sent on a mission in the jungle 301 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.080 and things are not what they appear. It's it's not 302 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.240 exactly like this, but it's the same way simplistic, like 303 00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.480 Jaws is. You know, you have these characters, this is 304 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.120 a shark. It's them versus you know, an active nature 305 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.799 in a sense as far as like an animal, right, 306 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.759 same thing. This is obviously different than active nature because 307 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.639 it's from you know, a sci fi whatever world. But 308 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.879 what I like about is the pacing where it's just 309 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:45.960 for a while, an army movie. It's just these guys 310 00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:49.000 on a mission. Even then there's some dramatic stuff going 311 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.159 on there as far as you know, deal lying to 312 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.559 them and stuff. So even that stuff is interesting, Like okay, 313 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.240 you got some jacked up dudes do some violent stuff 314 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.120 and they don't think they should actually be here, Like 315 00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.919 even Dutch says like, this is not what we do. 316 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.039 So there's some good tension there and then a fucking 317 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.279 alien just drops in and I think, like, it's not 318 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.960 a cop about him being you know, cloaking and invisible. 319 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.120 It's definitely a budgetary thing, and that's a smart thing. 320 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.679 It's the same way why compare to The Jaws is the 321 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.360 Shark was supposed to be all around that movie. This Shark, 322 00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:19.679 I think it was like week two or three, like 323 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:21.960 broke down and they had to rework that movie so 324 00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:23.840 you could barely see the Shark, right, And I think 325 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.399 that works better now. And I think that's almost It's 326 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.000 a tough thing because I think this is I won't 327 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:30.200 say this is a perfect movie, but it's a perfect 328 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.519 type of this type of genre action movie where you 329 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.720 can make sequels and expand the universe. And I know 330 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.840 that's what Taylor loves. You see the plants all that stuff, 331 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.960 But at the same point, it's always hard to catch, 332 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:42.799 like capture lightning in the bottle. And I like Predators. 333 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:44.159 I think I like Predator two enough. That's the one 334 00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:46.080 I've seen the least. I'm excited to watch that again. 335 00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.480 But they can never match this because this was just 336 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.240 such like a great concept. It's like we were just 337 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:52.879 a Jurassic Park right where, no matter what, you're never 338 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.799 gonna match that first one because the idea is just 339 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:57.240 so good. These guys top of the elite, you know, 340 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.440 squad versus this alien killer, what's gonna happen? And then 341 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.360 from that it was always bigger, bigger, Oh the preditors 342 00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:04.159 in the citter. Oh, we're at this planet and there's 343 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:07.360 some fun ideas there. But this is just the perfect concept. 344 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.799 That's why I did the theme in the beginning. I 345 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.399 fucking love the music in this movie. Alen Silvestri, who 346 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.480 if you don't know, he did the Avengers theme and 347 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.879 you know, porls and all that stuff, like this is 348 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.679 how he's started to build his career and just that 349 00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.080 it's like the Striker's menu where they play that theme over. 350 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.399 No no, no, no, no no no. But it's just like 351 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.519 it's so fucking good because you just feel like you're 352 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.480 banned down the hatches with these guys. Now, that's the thing. 353 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.720 This is a complete dude bro movie, not evenly what 354 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.559 we talk about the beginning with like dropping like profanities 355 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:37.120 and slurs, but just like the whole vibe of jacked 356 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.759 up dudes nose to nose arguing guns. Like the very 357 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.000 first Sea when the predator appears and they just light 358 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.000 up the force and waste like hundreds of AMMO. You're like, man, 359 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.600 this is the most dude bro thing in the world. 360 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.799 Laughing out loud in that scene, I could not believe that. 361 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:51.679 I'm like, we got in the war zone. 362 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:55.320 Just oh, next war zone. Every time we see one person, 363 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.759 just light them up. But then we're just left with 364 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.559 our pistols and like bone arrows and stuff. But and 365 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.159 that's what I love where and it's not your foulkering 366 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:04.559 because you haven't seen well, but that's what I love. 367 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.919 Where people have been like, oh, well, how are we 368 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.759 gonna do prey Like they're going back in time. But 369 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.200 it's like how they how Dutch beats the predators has 370 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:13.919 nothing due technology, it's smart sin, it's the environment. So 371 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.639 that's why I'm prey. When they're looking around in those trailers, 372 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.799 there's fucking mud everywhere. These people are gonna be wearing 373 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.159 might one hundred percent to take down this predator. But 374 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.840 like with this that's why I love that he's systematically 375 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.919 taking apart of the team one by one. You learn 376 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.519 a little bit more details about the predator each time. 377 00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.600 But what I love is it's kind of that Michael 378 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:32.799 Myers esque like in the beginning of it's just a 379 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.159 force of nature coming at you and they give you 380 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.679 just enough. Even then, like seeing stuff like his wrist 381 00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:40.120 clock and it's showing his different language. You don't have 382 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.240 to explain like, oh, he comes from this race and 383 00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:44.360 this is why he's hunting. You got the idea of 384 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.919 what's happening here. It's simplistic. It's great. Everyone's here to play. 385 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.919 Everyone knows what type of movie they're in because they're 386 00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.720 just like being badasses. And Arnold, Yeah, I'm always like 387 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:56.000 I never ever when peop always talk about Sly versus Arnie, 388 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.080 Arnie one hundred percent. I like Sylvester Stolen love. But 389 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.240 if you're asking me what action movie, if I was 390 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:02.960 making an action movie and this is the prime and 391 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.399 I can only take one one hundred percent of Arnold, 392 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:06.919 and I don't even care. Sylvester stole it might even 393 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.440 be a better actor than Arnold. He just he just 394 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.440 brings in this era. He just brings something that I 395 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.960 don't care. Vin Diesel, the raw, Chris Hensworth, Chris Pratt, 396 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:18.879 like no one can capture what Arnold had in this 397 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:21.840 era of just like that bad aster. But the thing 398 00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.399 I love about is when he becomes like emotional or caring, 399 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.240 you kind of buy in into it right away, like 400 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.279 Arnold could switch. He's just a great lead in this, 401 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.840
