For real tho, Black & Dekker shat the bed so unbelievably fucking hard with their movie, that a fixed face design is no longer even in my Top 3 needs.

But it's like...he didn't take it to the grave...there are loads of behind the scenes footage, reference material, etc. Making a new proper Predator design should be the easiest thing in the world with these movies.NSZ wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:02 pmBecause Stan Winston was a witch who took his secrets to the grave. /jMaverick Centigrade wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 7:05 pm[sees the new Predator unmasked from the leaked trailer]

Plus Amalgamated Dynamics did most the work on AVP and AVP:R and KNB did Predators. Both companies are run by ex employees of Stan Winston Studios, several of who worked on the original film. So no there's really nothing lost.

Annnnnd it's only on Hulu. For fuck's sakes.
Guess I can write off this film too. Streaming is the fucking worst thing to come out of the last decade.

Only if your internet is stable enough for that and/or you can find sites that don't brick your computer with viruses and malware. Otherwise... yeah, other countries that HBO Max or Hulu doesn't do services for are just SOL.

Sucks that this one is going straight to Hulu cuz it actually looks potentially great. I love the emphasis on the Native Americans, down to the casting of actual Native actors. I hope this is one step in a larger trend.

Yeah but ideally I'd want to support good films. Well, assuming of course that this will be a good film.
I just don't understand why streaming platforms have to be region locked.

Woah. Haven’t been keeping up with the Predator/Alien stuff as of that horrible film from 2018, but I gotta say, this new one looks awesome. Love how it takes place in a time and setting that we haven’t really seen the Yautja’s much in

You can also watch the movie in the "Comanche" language!

Good fucking luck finding a pirated version of this version of the film. Bravo Disney.

You can always use a VPN for said watching.

You can focus on it, and try to force it, but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient, and you hold still, then maybe... Just maybe... It will come to you."

The problem with the VPN solution is even with that, the servers for such region locked streaming services like HBO and Hulu don't extend naturally to where Spuro is at. We tried watching a few HBo and Hulu movies a while back with him piggy backing off of my account, and it was the crustiest quality and never loading lag he had ever dealt with. The movies were unwatchable for him, and even for me they were still rather poor due to being so far up in Alaska. So yeah, that's not really a viable option, alas.Greyshot151 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:17 pmYou can always use a VPN for said watching.

Oh, that's terrible! I'm sorry to hear. Hopefully he can find a solid version, somewhere.

Well, good news is it will be on Disney+ for Canada. Now if it'll be locked behind a further paywall, I dunno, but at least it's there.
