Recently got around to seeing Alien vs. Predator.
Obvious question: if you were organizing such an expedition on Earth in 2004, how would you go about gathering a rather large group of people who had neither seen nor heard about any of the Alien or Predator movies? Maybe it's set in some alternate-history universe where those movies were never made?
Given the venue, I kind of figured The Thing should put in an appearance, but maybe that's a crossover for another movie. Along with Alien vs. Terminator, Predators vs. Cybermen, and the immensely popular Aliens vs. Sparkly Vampires.
V: I vant to drink your... Ow! My teeth! My face iss melting! Aaaah!
A: Ssssss... CHOMP!
Only problem with this is, you probably wind up with undead aliens, so it might be best to hold that contest on some other planet.
And even my silly idea from last week has crossover sequel potential. Suppose that Tannhäuser-with-the-Tarnhelm succeeds in his quest, and is still alive at the end of the film (or opera, or whatever). Next, he could set off for Africa to confront an H. Rider Haggard character in... Allan vs. Precator!
Yes, my brain is still fried. Wanna know how fried? I'm having visions of a cheerleading squad, in long skirts with bumps on, waving asymmetric pom-poms and chanting "2-4-6-8! You-will-be-ex-ter-mi-nate!"
