I watched Predator this morning
What testosterone-driven 80's classics have you revisited lately?

It's not

The second one is 10 times better and about 100 times less gay.
/I have a feeling that Darth Foxtrot has me on ignore.
edit: obviously not.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:35, Reply)
Gay? Predator?
What on earth could be gay about several large, oiled, muscular men playing hide and seek in a tropical jungle? I think you're looking for shirting where clearly none exists
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:37, Reply)
It's really, really not
I watched Predator 2 just last week, and I was quite dissapointed. Even Gary Busey was insufficient to raise it up to anywhere close to the first one.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:38, Reply)
I'm with Al on this one
The only bit I really liked about Predator 2 was the in-joke of having an Alien skull mounted on the wall of the ship. Less funny now that two films have completely upgefucked that once-tantalising face-off

Aha! Your criteria are revealed!
Is your favourite film Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens, by any chance?

predator 2 is far superior

I haven't watched any 80's movies lately
I did watch New Moon last night, however.

not until later

(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:36, Reply)
Please tell me it's better than I expect
Cos I'm sure I'll have to watch it when Ms Foxtrot gets it on Lovefilm
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:36, Reply)
800% better than Twilight
I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a film as I was with Twilight.

Even my Dad said New Moon was way better. He'd know, my Mum made him watch it about a thousand times.
(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:40, Reply)
Are you a proper Twihard?
Most people I know who love the books disliked the first film. I didn't mind it because I spent most of the book wondering whether there has ever been a literary character so painfully incapable of piecing together obvious clues as Bella Swan. The film cut a lot of that out!
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:42, Reply)
The fact you just used the word
"twihard" means I am going to have to put you on ignore.
(I helped save b3ta! TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:48, Reply)
I consider it to be a term of abuse if that helps

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:51, Reply)
What would make one a proper twihard?
I read the book too long ago to really comment on that. For me the books became an obsession, I had to read them, every spare waking second I had to read them. But as soon as I put them down I put them down, I haven't read them since and I probably won't again.
(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:49, Reply)
You're not a Twihard
By virtue of your ability to accept that the books aren't actually the very centre of the universe

Thank fuck
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:50, Reply)
Other than the books, and the Twilight dvd, I own no form of Twilight paraphernalia.
I'm not on a 'team' and in fact I think the trailer for the third movie looks really fucking shit and I can't believe they replaced the original actress that played Victoria. But I'm not making tweets and vlogs about it.
(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Mon 22 Mar 2010, 12:56, Reply)
I didn't even know they had replaced her
There are teams?

Beverley Hills Cop 2.
Not that testosteroney but a classic with kick-ass 80s soundtrack.

she's a funny one. I liked BHC2, but 3 was fucking awful.

I watched Top Gun recently
I enjoyed the volleyball scene even more than I did when I was youthful, although obviously I now have to ignore the homoeroticism that I wasn't aware of in my innocence.
