So I hung out with a few girls the other day, It was my turn to bring the movie and I told them I was bringing a romantic tragedy about two people and a love that wasn’t meant to be. Certainly this describes “Predator” right?! The alien clearly displays respect for Arnold, and isn’t mutual respect where all relationships begin? And why does the Predator spare Arnold till last? I think the Predator wanted more than Arnold’s skull, he wanted his heart. The end is always a real tearjerker for me. The alien takes off his mask and Arnold realizes how different they are, and how nobody would understand their love, so Arnold hits him with a giant log and forces the Predator to activate his self destruct. It’s like Brokeback Mountain and Romeo and Juliet all wrapped up into one amazing movie. The girls didn’t appreciate it at all and the helicopter hadn’t even landed before they ejected it and put on “Fever Pitch”. I’ll never understand the opposite sex.
