Danny Glover? Fucking Danny Glover?

Arnold gets his ass beat left and right and I’m supposed to believe Danny fucking Glover has a chance of winning against the Pred?

Only in hollywood people. Only in hollywood…

Either you have a serious backlog of movies that you haven’t seem, or you are nursing a grudge like no one that I have ever seen\*

\*(what with the movie coming out in 1990 and all)

You know what? Fuck you. Fuck you and this anti-_Predator 2_ bigotry. Fuck you with a giant pair of almost-invisible forked claws, and a giant speargun shoved up your ass.

It’s the ignorance and stupidity of people like you that has kept _Predator 2_ from being an equal in this society. It is your hate and immaturity that forces _Predator 2_ to sit in the back of the bus, and drink from separate fountains, go to separate schools, crap into a separate sewage system.

You and your outdated ideals, clutching to the archaic notion that _Predator 2_ is an inferior being, giving it only 3/5’s of a vote, forcing it to like rap as a means of establishing some sort of social acceptance.

You bigot. You small-minded, racist bigot. I hope you get nibbled to death by toads and shat upon by flying monkeys.

…

And besides, I LIKED _Predator 2_.

Can anyone explain the significance of the old pistol that the Super sized Preddy hands Danny Glover at the end? There’s a date on it… 1837, I think, but are they trying to suggest some event in history was Predator-related?

And why do they have masks with dreadlocks attached?

I think that ment that the “Preds” have been visiting earth for a long time. And oddly enough, alien vs predator kinds works off that.

…and for the record, Predator 2 was much better then the first and anybody who thinks different is a communist!

…I’m sorry, but thats how it works.

In what universe is Ahnold a better actor than Danny Glover?  
Chalk one more up to the “_Predator 2_ is better than 1” camp. It was a much more intelligent movie, amd the final super-extended action sequence is a near classic.

What the fuck?

Ah-nold, Apollo Creed, Jesse the body, Crazy “you ghosting us motha fucker” Mac, Billy, etc etc.

“There’s something out there and it ain’t no man”  
“I ain’t got time to bleed”  
“I’m gonna have me some fun”  
“I…can make it!”  
“I used you to get the job done!!”  
“Geez you got a big pussy, geez you got a big pussy”  
I’ve been quoting this flick for years. Fuck P2, that shit sucked.

In what universe is _Predator_ (either one) about acting?

ROCK on, **WO**!!!  
“If it bleeds, we can kill it”  
“You’re one ugly mothuh-fucker”  
And the rest of Mac’s quote “I’ll bleed ya, real quiet. Leave ya here. Got that?”
