(also i cried like a baby at the end of Tinkerbell and the Neverbeast, far out)

(Good creature design is challenging! It's hard to make something that doesn't strongly evoke a class of creature from the real world, and many of those bring with them deeply baked-in assumptions about the fundamental nature of the beast. Badlands does well with lots of its critters, actually.)

my favourite scene in Predator Badlands

Your pony mark is someone spitting on you!

It is a curse right now

Thanks for this look behind the scenes. It feels like a valuable glimpse, giving important context.

And it goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway, thanks for all your hard hard work.

Key takeaway from Predator Badlands: the final fight in Aliens (1986) needed Bishop’s severed lower half to jump up and start spin kicking the alien queen

Ahahaha

Have the sinking feeling I’m gonna find myself writing an epic blog post analysis of Alien Earth and Predator Badlands and how they illuminate each other

No but I really did like this film you guys

My fave scene from Predator Badlands

Just remembered how Predator Badlands set a parallel between the experience of the main guy at the start of the film, and the dilemma faced near the end,

And then Elle Fanning turns to camera and slowly says “this dilemma is a direct parallel to the experience you had at the start of the film”

😂

And so many subtitles! Film audiences these days really don’t care about that huh. Director Bong knew the score.

My favourite bit in Predator Badlands was when they did the same “soaring camera as the actors trek over the glorious NZ landscape” scene as in Fellowship of the Ring. Music even sounded similar.

Gosh that looks pretty

Amazing

I am a full season behind!
