Aliens vs. Gremlins

I don't get it... are people making fun of AVP? Thinking it's unncessary?
AFAIK, this movie was being made circa 1997, and I remember being pissed it
got canned.

I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, I'm just wondering why people keep
saying 'muahahaha, Alien VS Bart, Darth Vader, Critters...' I mean come on.
No one likes the idea of an AVP movie?

Sure, it'll be fun. We're making fun of the "vs." part which makes it sound
like a wrestling match.

I think they would have been better off ditching the "vs." and just going with
"Alien - Predator" or something. The connection to the games wouldn't have been
as strong (as I surely hope it isn't supposed to be).

I think the idea of AvP is wonderful. If you don't know, that was the
original story line to Aliens3. It was tabled because the two comix co.s
(i.e. Dark Horse and someone else) couldn't agree on a script. However...
they have finally agreed and there is a tentative shoot date for 2005.

Pfft! 'Twas never the story line of Alien 3. Dark Horse got the rights
to both characters and released a "graphic novel" (if you will) called,
funnily enough, Aliens vs Predator. It went rather well, other comics
followed, and Peter Briggs (sp?) wrote a script rather loosely based on
the comics, but without permission. Someone at Fox liked the idea, and
the whole project promptly stalled.

While I personally like the *idea* of the movie, what happened next is
my biggest concern. Paul WS Anderson stepped in to both write and
direct (along with a chap whose name eludes me, who is credited with
co-writing Armageddon. Yay!). The end result is that this movie will
be a cash cow. Two popular franchises reprising their comic-book roles
will be thrown together in a movie designed to make a few bucks, then
slide from view. There'll be none of the style that we found in the
previous Alien movies, and Mr. Anderson (snigger) simply isn't that good
a director. I'd say he dabbles in competent mediocrity.

[shrugs]

Of course, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong.

I know I'll watch and enjoy it. But if its really bad I'll just
pretend its not cannon nor apart of the original continuity.
