Yeah and it goes all the way back to the first one.  Stupid game was impossible. Terminator 2 the arcade game had the best looking arcade stand, but it was terrible.

 

Keep the faith. Eventually, both Predator and Terminator will receive the 2D/3D love that they have been so unjustly denied all these years

Is TiVo still a thing? 

 

Doubt it, most cable companies have that feature built in these days.

Whats sad is the game engine for a badass Predator game has existed for awhile now. FarCry + Predator license is basically the starting point for development. 

 

I seem to remember a Predator game were ya just went around decapitating Jamaicans. Oh the humanity.

Ok, another question...any possibility of keeping what's on my Dish hopper if I abandon that ****in mad disaster??

 

Hmm, not sure. I've heard of people transferring stuff to a flash drive-computer, then burning it to a DVR. Not sure if Dish does that though.

 

Here's a link I found.

There's so much potential out there, man. Damn shame so few are willing to make that leap

Hope they do it right. Worst case scenario is something like Jumanji, where it sucks so bad that its sneaky good, then spawns a sequel 😔

 

I can't see how it'd be good.  It was a show for its time and place.  Bunch of guys sitting around doing blow and coming up with crazy ideas for a new tv show for the 80s.  And someone blurts out A CAR THAT TALKS AND CAN THINK FOR ITSELF AND IT SAVES THE DAY IN EVERY EPISODE.  

 

That doesn't really doesn't translate to the 2020s but in the early 80s it made perfect sense.

 

That said, I'm checking it out.

It can be good if they want it to be. Unfortunately,  part of the allure of reboots is the fact that due to name recognition,  you dont have to put in the same amount of effort/ingenuity to get people in the theatres

Agreed.  I remember the Miami Vice rabbit hole we went down a few years ago.

Just cast Kevin Hart as Michael Long, have him get shot, then cast the Rock as Michael Knight. Make Jason Statham the bad guy, have him say wanker 100 times and boom, $500 mil movie gross. 😁

I generally can't stand reboots.  I feel like they are a by product of people not having any good ideas, so they just recycle some familiar ****.  Once the novelty wears off, you are left with a pile of **** involving no good ideas.

Oh god, I just saw in my news feed that Rock is trying to get Kevin Hart in the Black Adam movie.

 

Make it stop.

Taking a day off to enjoy yourself is so underappreciated

 

10 year anniversary today. Played 9 holes of golf. got an awesome lunch at a family owned Italian shop in town. Went to a winery. Got a bottle of basil hadens 10 year rye. Swimming in a pool. 
 

Gotta work tomorrow cause the backlog is unreal but **** it it’s nice to have a day.
