The 'Oh Dear' Files: Casting and plot details for 'AVP2: Survival of the Fittest'

Ugh. Yeah, I read a detailed script review for this disaster in the making on AICN before FOX C&D'd them into removing it. There is a big action scene taking place with the Aliens and Predator smashing through a SUPER K-MART. Yes, a SUPER K-MART. This will be EPIC!

Sigh. As much as I enjoy Paul Thomas Anderson's films I was deeply disappointed with AVP (I still bought it though). This sound really, really bad and completely fucks up the mythology of both of the franchises. Not that I'm really concerned about that (I just want a kick ass film that's both scary and exciting) but when they claim that they are staying true to them it just sucks so bad.
Oh well.

Hate to break it to you but AvsP wasn't directed by the great Paul Thomas Anderson. Instead it was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. I'm sure you were shocked that he went from HARD EIGHT, BOOGIE NIGHTS and MAGNOLIA to a crappy franchise flick.

Yea I always get those two names mixed up.

Major faux-pas Swarez. If I may reprimand you in the way we do with my student ministry kids... I'm not so much angry as I am disappointed. Shocking really, a man of your calibre. Sit in the corner for five minutes and think about what you have done young man!!!

Yeah Swarez, you freaked me out there for a second. I saw AvP and when you said that, I thought, "Really!? What happened!?"

Anyway, it's to bad Epps' career is going in this direction after the magnificense that was Half Nelson. I hope she rebounds and does something good again (although I shouldn't jusge not having seen AvP 2 yet obviously).

ramble on...

I meant to say "too" bad. Gotta be grammatically correct.
Sorry.

I'm sorry guys, I was tired when I wrote this.
But....I've actually seen more Paul W.S. Anderson films than I have Paul Thomas Anderson flicks.
Do I go in the corner now?

The directors certainly do have some stlyish works to their credits though...

Even if it looks good it'll still be Aliens and a Predator smashing through a SUPER K-MART. The problem here is the script, not the directors as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know...haven't you ever wanted to see a Super K-Mart smashed?

:)

No, no, no...let 'em smash up a Wal-Mart. At least that would be more of a political statement. The biggest baddest alien nasties in the world vs. the biggest baddest retailer in the world. "Super K-Mart?" That's like second tier dudes. But then again this whole film is gonna be second tier...so I'll shut up now!
