Daybreakers. Coolio looking vampire movie.
Best Pringles Ad ever.
Update on that Three Stooges movie I was talking about the other day: Sean Penn appears to be out as Larry, and now there may be Paul Giamiti-ness taking his place. Just FYI.
For the love of God, please stop teaching MACHINES TO EAT FLESH! You're just making it easy for Skynet later.
I know I went on a rant about Terminator the other day, but seriously, here's some problems I have:
1. If Sarah Conner had had an unlisted phone number the Terminator would have never found her.
2. Why is it that Skynet builds a time machine that can't send non-living material through time, then immediately proceeds to send an 800 pound robot covered in "living tissue".
3. Why didn't the humans just wrap a bunch of weapons in "living tissue" in order to send them back with Kyle Reese?
3b. Why didn't Skynet think of this? T-800 had to go to a gunshop for cryin out loud!
4. It's not like Skynet has to wait the 2 days T-800 runs around L.A. trying to kill Sarah Conner to find out what happened, there should be a light somewhere at Skynet HQ that says "Status of Sarah Conner in 1984" with a light on it. That light either immediately turns red right after the terminator is sent back in time, or it failed. If it failed, why not immediately send another terminator? It actually waits like 15 years before sending another. Why?
I can't even go on. It's just too silly. This is all because I watched the first Terminator the other day and it's so good, and so much fun, and then everything after that is just ridiculous. It makes me sad. It's like Alien Vs. Predator. The first Predator is an A+ action movie. Predator 2 is actually a B- action movie. Alien is an A Horror movie. Aliens is an A+ action movie. How do you combine those two things to make a D- first movie and an F+ second movie? I don't get it.

2nd AvP was better. The predator was mostly competent rather than the 3 stooges of the first film, the love interest getting her ass pinned to the wall with that glaive was refreshing and "Get to the Chopper".
But it's like 9 scripts jammed together. There's the "kid getting out of prison", the "geeky kid trying to win the girl over", the "Where's my husband, I'm in love with the sheriff" subplot, the "get all these people out of town" subplot. By the time "Get to the chopper" happened I was ready to abandon all hope.
Lets also not forget they nuked the site from, at least the troposphere if not orbit.
I mean yes, for the first 40 minutes of the movie you want to strangle the scriptwriter but I have an exercise for you.
Take Movie One: Edit out all scenes not involving predators killing people, aliens killing people or predator on alien action.
Now do the same for part 2.
Part 2 is a better AvP.
