For UK-based viewers, "The Predator", the latest (last?) film in the series is on Channel 4 at 21:00 this evening.

Oh dear, that was just terrible. Easily the worst of the four films.

Well I liked it!     But then I stuck with 1/72 plastics for decades while others went for those new fangled metal thingies.

Just wait till those killer mutant tardigrades land.  Then we'll have real problems.  :d :d :d

PS

I wish they would stop beaming out radio signals that we are here.  Any species with the technology to reach us could wipe us out unless they pick up this film transmission and believe its a documentary.

I think that these are actually a defensive measure - like The Voice or The Masked Singer or The Wall, or all those 'Bake-off' looki-likey show (please save us all from Glow-Up!!!).
Any alien invaders would just think we were some sort of socially retarded misfit species* and stay well clear, in case it was contagious.

(*that is probably closer to the truth than we'd like to think)

Depends how soon we develop cyber enhancements- Mark could potentially have a long career as a champion cyborg cricketer

I can think of no worse punishment!

But actually I can ...

Being forced to watch most forms of ITV or BBC TV shows on an hour by hour basis - I can almost feel my brain cells dying as I think that thought!
