Predator and Aliens. They've earned the nightmares!

Oooh, I learned like two months ago that my husband has never seen Predator, and I was like “you have to see this movie or your life is incomplete” — but he was unconvinced… it isn’t just children I can force to watch movies… bwa ha ha ha!

How did you marry this man?!

I could make a strong case that Predator is the greatest action movie of all-time. It's certainly the movie I've seen more than any other. Last year I saw it on the big screen and my life peaked.

I got him to watch it with me last night. He didn’t seem to appreciate it to the degree I’d hoped. Maybe Predator needs to be this year’s Demolition Man: subject of multiple writings? Because I agree: I could argue quite cogently for its genius.

This is outrageous. If it wasn't so expensive I'd recommend a divorce.

Anyway, yes, let's do another home-and-home series on Predator. Want to target July? Before we discovered each other I intended to write about Predator but never found the right angle. Now I know how to approach it: Predator: Brilliance in three acts.

Basically, the movie is really three movies in one: military satire first, then slasher film, then survival horror. I will absolutely put 30 hours of work into this piece. Predator raised me.

Hell yeah. I'll tentatively book the week of July 15 or July 22. We're visiting family the first two weeks of the month.

We recently watched Spaceballs with our kids. They loved it! 😂

I'm tempted now to watch Airplane with them. If anything, they'll finally get all the references my husband and I are constantly inserting into normal conversation. Ghostbusters DOES have a lot of sex in it! Everything from the 80s did. It's coming back now, but with less charm/character in my opinion. I'm tired of movies where pretty people with hard bodies and perfect teeth get all the attention. Now, give me a dorky Dan Aykroyd getting head from a ghost in the middle of the night and I'm entertained. 😂
