    How good is Predator though. Yeah, it's all bollocks, running through jungle on spec ops, firing miniguns from the hip etc, but it's all Hollywood and Arnie, you don't expect realistic. And it doesn't even matter that it's all bollocks because the whole alien predator thing is totally original. That's something you don't see nowadays - something original. This must be the 67th time I've watched this movie. I'd still rather watch this again then watch another modern film that's exactly the same as all the others. Realistic isn't bad just take a look at Saving Private Ryan. But those 80s films are proper fun films, entertainment at it's very best, they found the line between realism and entertainment.

      Editing … I think this is why we have that category of films that are so bad they're good. Maybe everybody is just sick of ultra realistic same movies. And especially the latest 623765th super hero remake reboot film. I know I am.

      Editing … I have absolutely no doubt that if Predator was released today exactly as it was done originally critics would laugh hard, you'd be looking at bad ratings. Those 80s style films are lost now, we're not going to get that again. I think it's too much of a risk for somebody to try making a movie like that again, they'd never get the funding for it.

      Editing … So now I'm thinking does it matter when a film is released? Look at those old movies and the properly over the top dramatic acting. But yet they're good. But if released today they'd be so bad it's good.

      Editing … But thinking on it I like both. I like new gritty James Bond just as much as I like Roger Moore's comedy Bond. I think there's a market there for less realistic shit acting films, I think most of us would watch them. I think it's just too risky for the money people to fund it in case it fails.

      Editing … So now I'm thinking modern big budget films that are shit. Fast and furious! But they're shit. They'll never be a Predator. The first two were good then they became a cash cow.

      Editing … Here's an old film that is totally shit and the acting is terrible: War of the Worlds! But how good is that. It's a 10/10 from me. What a great film. Because it's original! Well, kind of. I know the whole story behind it. But films that that weren't a common thing back then.

      Editing … But now I just put on Ewok Adventures. Never seen it before, I'm a massive Star Wars fan and it's been on my films to watch when I finally get time list for yonks. It's fucking shit. And it's old. And it's Star Wars which should make it good but doesn't.

      Editing … I think it's like the car analogy I said in my discussion with Rukkshard. Dacia can make a car with the same horsepower as a 1980s sports car. But nobody ever choosing the Dacia between the two if given the choice.
